TIME COMPILATION of an Encyclo.
/ paedia may be fairly regarded as

one of those inventions that are
said to be born Of necessity. The march Of
science, the growth of literature, the devel.
opment of art, combine to demand an Ency-
clopaedia With the increase of stores comes
the need Of the storehouse; with the larger
wealth Of grain comes the necessity OF CON-
modous granary This is precisely what an
Enclopaedia is--a storehouse of knowledge,
granary of ihe treasures of heaven.
Men living now remember when dozen
books comprised the library of the ordinary
home, but now most households have a mod.
crate representation of general literature.
The presses of this country alone, are send
ing out twenty thousand new books each
year. There is an embarrassment of poverty
and there is an embarrassment of riches, and
in the matter of books we are suffering most
from an embarrassment Of riches.
Long before the invention OF the print
ing press men felt the need Of something
like an encyclopaedia With the coming Of
the printing press-the great educator
came more pressing need.
The first edition Of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica was issued in 1911; the last, or
9th edition in 1887. 1t is, without controver.
sion, the grandest monument OF scholarly
research and patient endeavor in the whole
realm of literature,
From this last edition the New Ameri-
canized Encyclopedias has grown. To the
patient research of the greatest minds of
Europe has been added American practical
bility, brancy and genius,
The product is e-eminently American,
yet world wide in its scope. No subject in
the original is omitted; but less space is de-
voted ty topics of English interest and more
to American Thousands of new subjects
have been added and three hundred of our
greatest American specialists have made an
American encyclopaedia for the American
people.

Little Girls Naive Comment on Her
Mothers Photograph.
It was funny little speech of wee
Eleanor's, so father and mother agreed
that evening as they laughed over the
mental picture each had Of the saucy
turned-up nose and the merry blue
eyes Of their four-year-old. Yet, wasn't
there a great deal Of feeling in the
speech, too; and perhaps a bit CT pa

Eleanor's mamma had shown her
the beautiful new picture that pho
tographer had just sent home. She
was a young mother, CT course; and
ever so pretty, in q tender, dainty
way. But she could be a severe moth
er, an avenging spirit, and could show
this in her clear-cut profile, all sweet
ness in the photograph.
Eleanor had one chubby dimpled
hand thrown lovingly over her moth
er's shoulder; the other held the pic
ture. Long and steadily the child
kent this pose. There was great ad-
niration.. in the baby face as she
studied the sweet pictured mamma,

WHAT MAKES A GENTLEMAN.

Qualities That Neither Wealth Nor
Education Can Impart to Man.
Archbishop Temple, the recently
deceased primate of the established
church of England and man OF the
highest character, gave a short time
before his death the following outline
of what he considered really gentle
manly conduct:
1.-THE man who is thoroughly unset
fish in all small things, he is the man
lin regard of whom it is quite impos-
sible for you not to feel, that man is
a gentleman. Let his rank in society
he what it may, let him be ignorant of
the ordinary conventionalities OF
social intercourse, still, if the man
be truly self-sacrificing, if in his ord1'
nary relations with his fellows there
lis true and >genuine unselfshness, 1t
is impossible for any man who has
much to do with him not to feel That
man is gentleman don't care
whether he is educated or not, wheth-
er he is learned or not; l don't care
how ignorant he may be or how low
he may stand; I don't care If he be
ever so poor; the man WAC constantly
shows that he is constantly giving
himself up for other people, that man
is at heart and in reality one OF
natures gentlemen and this is the
wav in which he shows it.

THE LIME JUICE ISLAND.
Tiny Spot Where Grows Almost All
Of the Fruit Used.

Tiny Spot Where Grows Almost All
ct the Fruit Used.
Nearly all the lime juice used in
the world comes from the tiny island
of Monsterrat, in the British West
Indies. The lime grows wild in many
West Indian Islands, but only in Mon
sterrat is it used commercially. That
island is one vast garden of lime trees,
and nowhere in the world is there a
finer sight than its thirty miles OF
orchards laden with the fruit of the
lime .or fragrant with its blossoms.
The fruit, is gathered by negro wo-
men, who carry it down the hills to
the shipping port in big baskets on
their heads. Like all West Indians,
they are remarkable for their ability
to carry heavy weights in this man
ner. Once, the company which con-
trolls the lime juice industry sought
to tighten the burden Of its laborers
by introducing wheelbarroWs. The
negroes filled the wheelbarrows readi-
" enough, and then carried them on
their heads as they had been used
to carry the baskets. Many a negro
woman will carry undred-weight- Of
lines on her head for a distance OF
mile or more.

Construction Of skyscrapers.
Many of the great steel structures
that are being built in every city are
are planned and nodded in some dis
tant city-like the material for Solo,
mons 81 temple of old-hundreds OF
miles away It is in some rolling mill
town of Pennsylvania that most OF the
gigantic framework for. the modern:
skyscrapers are built All that re-
mains to be done is to put them to-
getl1er, and the building rises up like
house of blocks. ss@s - -
Every piece is fitted together and
numbered before it is taken away
from the steel mill. So exact are the
measurem ents that not even the drill
ing of a hole is necessary for fitting
the rivets which fasten the plates and
girdens together. The Watch1fKe pre-
cision with which these parts are
made was, shown in the construction
of one of these buildings which is now
being erected in Chicago.
One of the large cross Orders was
missing in the framework of the Sec
ond floor, and though it did not inter-
fere with the placing of the frame
work on all sides and above it, the
contractor was worried to know what
had become of it. When the frame
work had grown as high as the sixth
or seventh story and the missing
piece had rot been found around the
railroad yards or heard of from any
other source, he wrote to the steel
mill, describing it as closely as pos
sible, ordering that it be duplicated.
BY the return mail he received the
following reply:
"As ground space is more valuable
in Chicago than here in the country,
we are storing missing girder for you.
We knew that you would need a steel
derrick on that floor, and kept the,
girder out so you would have room.
Will ship it after the remaining
stories have been completed
The mill men had figured correctly
on the building hundreds of miles
away, and the girder could not have
been placed in position, even if it had
been on the ground, on account OF the
derrick.

Oriuin of the Dictionary.

ed that idea. They were not the work
of one or several men, he told his
audience, but & a growth developed
through the ages. They began WITH
the glosses-tl1at is, the explanations
in easy Latin or English-or hard
Latin words, written by the monks
between the lines of the manuscripts.
The CLOSES grew into traslations, and
collections of CLOSES by this monk or
that from all the sources available to
him made glossaries or dictionaries.
Little by little English supplanted the
easy Latin explanations, and the
words were arranged in rudiamen-
tary alphabetical order, thus forming,
so long ago as 1000 A. D., Latin Eng
fish dictionaries. The uneducated
Normans overthrow English learning;
and it was not till the fifteenth cen.
tury that the revival came.

Ballad of Old Songs.

Life is a song and love is sweet,
Sing me then to the old refrain,
Laughing lyrics with tripping feet,
Pattering music like drops of rain.
Ragtime, ruffles our weary brain,
Oh, for the ballad Of surge and sway,
Words that wave like a field of grain
Where are the songs Of yesterday?
Stately in tune with the measured beat,
But coon songs fill us with pensive
Yet It's ever and always the thing we
Ever and always and over again,
Till it verify makes Of life bane!
Singers, respite of you we pray
From the baby warm by the razor slain
Where are the songs of yesterday!
Verses like this we n1adly bleat,.
Trying to voice our deep disda1n
For the song and dance described as neat
In comic operas tangled skein.
Oh, for the time of a poets reign!
These limping filters to drive away,
Is there nothing to lose and nothing to
gain?
Where are the songs of yesterday?
Poet prince, to our pleading, deign
Make us a laughing, loving lay;
Tell US in tune what we ask in vain
Where are the songs of Yesterday!
