of the .Sung 10 Ia Tien" or Great En-
cyclopedia of China, which comprised
22.s77 separate sections bound up into H.
100 volumes and which ranked easily as
the greatest literary undertaking in the
world.
Two volumes of this wonderful en-
cyclopedia, which their owner. Wilfred
Merton, picked up in a second hand shop
in London, are now on exhibition at the
London library in st. James square,
where I examined them yesterday. They
are section 1856 and 1866 respectively of

Prof. Herbert Coles who estimates that
the 11,l00 of them. if laid flat, one upon

40 feet. or 46 feet higher than st. Pauls.
But whether anyone ever tried the expert

LINGERIE RIBBONS.

Safe Keeping.
Keeping the ribbons from the lingerie
fresh is a problem for every woman.
When the ribbons are taken out while
the garment goes to the laundry they
are very apt to be mislaid and almost
certain to be crushed and tangled.
TO obviate these difficulties very
pretty case may be made which Is a
charming little gift Cut any hand
kerchief in half. hem the cut edge
and fold 1t over within two inches of
the border This forms a baglike space
which should be divided into four or
five compartments made BY stitching
from the hemmed edge to the folded
edge.
Into these pockets 6t strips Of card.
board wound with lingerie ribbons.
Leave an inch wide margin before you
begin the pockets and stitch ribbon
on the back or at one end. When the
case is finished and filed roll 1t up
like a needlecase or shoe and wrap and
tie with the ribbon.
Whenever the ribbons are removed
from the clothes they should be wound
around the cardboards and that will
keep them fresh and firm. This makes
an attractive and useful gift at very
little cost.

Fasting and Fsastins.

Fasting and Foastin0.
A fast and feast kept close COM
pany in Puritan calendars. A fast 6re-
quently preceded Thanksgiving day and
was sometimes appointed for the day
succeeding the feast, clever plan
which had its good hygienic points.
Though In the mind Of the Puritan
Christmas smelled to heaven OF idol
airy. when his own festival. Thanksglv.
ing. became annual. it assumed many
Of the features of the old English
Christmas. 1t was simply day OF
family reunion in November instead Of
December. on which Puritans ate tur-
key and Indian pudding and pumpkin
pie instead Of "superstitious meats"
such as baron of beef. boar's head
and plum pudding.
Many funny stories are told OF the
early Thanksgiving days. such as the
town of Colchester calmly ignoring the
governors appointed day and observ.
ing its own festival week later In or
