The Is there a child in your
cLnL house ? And does he
0" ask questions ? Wise
parents encourage a child's in
quirics, but the answering is
sometimes tiresome. Much has
been said and written about the
question habit " in children.
We have suggestion to go hand
in hand with that theory. After
the question habit has been en-
couraged, teach your child the
Century Habit, " which answers
his every question-answcrs It
clearly-so clearly that even a
child can understand it for him
self, with little if any explanation
from you; answers It more &C
curately-if you will pardon US
than you could do yourself in
most cases, and more quickly.
And yet the children do not re-
gard The Century as a study
book-rather as one OF their
greatest entertainers, as hundreds
of letters received from parents
testify. As one of our subscrib-
ers writes Us: Its arrangement
IS as simple as the alphabet, and
SO attractive that not only IS it
easy to get the run of the story
but hard to find a stopping
place. " From the time the
child first begins to manifest an
interest in looking at pictures,
through all his school and college
life, in his business or profession,
his reading-for-study or his read
ing-for-rccrcation - through all
his lifc-Thc Century IS the one
best work of reference he can
possibly own. II is IN itself a
complete working library that has
practically superseded al other
works of reference, whether tech
uical or general.
There is scarcely story-book
boy or girl can pick up that
they will not enjoy doubly if they
have set OF The Century at
hand, for it tells about all the
places, al the countries, al the
people and the things they love
to read and hear about: not one
of their lessons that they can't
learn quicker and easier if they

We have hinted at the pictures
in The Century. There are eight
thousand OF them, drawn and en-
graved by wcll-known artists
the same who make the pages of
The Century Magazine " stand
for al that is best in modern art.
There are more pictures Of AMI
mals than in many natural his
tories, and more OF birds and
fishes. There are many hundreds
showing famous places, guns,
armor, costumes, tools and me-
Chanical subjects, while there are
nearly twice as many botanical
illustrations as in suv other work
we know of-not only the rare
plants of all the world, but the
common ones that the child
would like TO know about. All are

tury that will appeal to all students is the
unique way in which word history is treated
not only every shade of meaning Of every
word, but the changes IN form of words
chronologically arranged from the earliest
knowledge down to-day. Accompanying
these are multitude or quotations from the
master writer's of all time, showing the va
rious ways in which hicy used the word or
phrase. When The Century gets through
with a word there's nothing left 10 tell
about it Then there are the thousands OF
dialect words, each with h5<tr history and
their shades of meaning, localized, dated,
with quotations from their sponsors. And
the foreign words-man7 more than are
given in any other one reference work. There
is no work published in any language that
Is OF equal help during course OF English
Lit, for instance, for besides the best his
torical treatment of words, obsolete and
modern, and the many Illustrative quota
tons, there is given an authoritative record
Of all the writings of all the authors of all
time, with dates of publication wherever
known, and copious notes, besides COM
pletely satisfying biography OF the writers.
These are but few of what are after all
but minor advantages which The Century
possesses over all other reference works,
singly or collectively, but they seem to Us
to be advantages that appeal more particu-
| arly to the student
New-York tribune., 1900-05-09
The A great educator has said
Reader that II the ordinary man

Ra1dar tnaI II the OrdlnarV man
would make it his business
to understand thoroughly all that he read,
even though that all were little, ne would
become possessed Of practically complete
education for his walk in life. To read in
an intelligent fashion is as rare as the
avoiding OF other mistakes IN this world.
The reader who skins merely gets into the
vicinity of a fact and goes around it-does
not meet it-would not recognize it If he
met it again. To get the worth of ones
reading is impossible if the reader blinks at
illusions which mean nothing to him in
stead OF looking up new words and new
facts. II has not always been easy to do
this. With the older reference works the
looking up of facts meant long and often
unfuitful search.
With The Century before you you find
instantly, in Just the right place, Just the
one word or fact you are looking for-th-re
is never 4 doubt as to its presence or its
whereabouts. The looking for 1t hardly
interrupts the course OF ones reading; the
finding OF It makes clear much that is to
follow. The possession and the use, in
telligently, of The Century in one's read
ing is as near to liberal education as one
can &c. nowadays without special study
courses. 50
