Columbus and the Egg.

When Columbus said he could make
an egg stand on end he was laughed at.
People said it was impossible, and that
wise men had spent years trying to do
the same thing. But Columbus did
what he promised-he made an egg
stand on end. When his scoffers saw
that the egg stood they said: How is
this possible?" They could scarcely be-
lieve their eyes. And this is just what
people are doing who have heard of the
marvellous offer now being made to
readers of The Herald by a Chicago
newspaper. The Chicago TimesHer-
aid is now offering Herald readers the
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia at
less than two-thirds OF the price at
which it can be bought elsewhere. and
on easy monthly payments. The Cen
fury Dictionary and Cyclopedia is the
greatest reference work in the world. In
fact, it is a reference library in itself,
equal to a library of more than $50
volumes. This has been proved by a
public test. 1t is explained how this
great offer is possible on page of this
