Library and Work of Genera! with a history of their origin and Volumes in good, clear, new type, made expressly Maps the world, with a separate map for every and revised up to date. and over Ten Million Words. IN respect of the process of condensation, while there has been the utmost care in the matter of condensation, there has been no elimination of subjects. Not one subject has been left out.

It is obvious, however, that many of the themes discussed have a relative rather than a universal interest. There are many matters of interest to Europeans that cannot, in the nature of the case, have the same interest for Americans. Many of the details of historic events that are probably of great importance in a work distinctively Britannic, are not of equal importance in a work distinctively American. For example, the English reader will be interested in all the details of the Battle of Waterloo, while the American reader will be more concerned about the details of the Battle of Gettysburg, the decisive battle of the Civil War. The work of condensation and the work of amendment have been wrought with equal care in order that nothing of Old World interest might be omitted and that due reference might be made to those grand personages and events which have made the history of America the wonder and admiration of the world.

Surely infants are entitled to the best food obtainable.

It is a fact that the Gall Borden "Eagle" Brand Condensed Milk is the best infant food. Your grocer and druggist keep it. ODDS AND ENDS. Aluminium coats have come. No man ever loved a woman while he was busy.

In Germany glassblowers are paid only once a year. The Falls of Teverone will light Borne by electricity. The world grows very full of ghosts as we grow older. When excited the emperor of Austria puffs out his cheeks. The white chamois gloves are not chamois Bt all, but a prepared kid.

It is customary for railroads to issue an nual passes to the highest officials of other railroads in the same section of the coun try.

Awhile ago the president of a little lumber railroad in Minnesotaa line only four miles long and built solely for the transoortation of lumbes called at th general offices of the Great No'rthern railway at St. Paul, presented his card and said that he had issued an annual pass to president James mil, oi the Great ern, and would like a similar courtesy. The office employees were thunderstruck by this display of nerve, and politely refused to honor the request. The caller grew indignant and demanded to see "Jim" Hill personally. Being ushered into President Hill's private office he again stated his case and asked for an annual pass.

"But, my dear sir, your road is not a passenger line, and a pass over it is worth less," saia Air. Hill. "I know it," replied the insistent caller, "but it customary to honor requests for courtesies. We railway magnates cannot afford to discriminate against each other, you know. It's a matter of regular form discipline.

It's part of the railway business, you see, and we ought not to violate any of the regular usages of reputable lines, bee? "Yes perhaps; but don't you see that you have no real railway line? Yours is only a 'jay' freight line about four miles long, beginning at a lumber camp and end ing the Lord only knows where." "Well, Mr. Hill, I'm willing to admit that my road isn't as long as yours; I never claimed it was. But my road is just as wide as yours, sir, and I want you to keep that fact in view. Don't you forget it, sir." "By George! I never thought of that," cried Hill, and a minute later the caller left the office with an annual pass over the entire Great Northern system. Chicago Mail.

Importance of Regular Nursing. When the milk has come to the breasts all artificial nourishment must cease and the child be put to the breast regularly. It is now that so many mistakes are made, that so many bad habits are formed; now that the health of the child frequently be gins to suffer and derangements of the stomach are so often met with. There are many mothers who, by their irregular habits in suckling their children, overload the stomach, and when the child cries, as it frequently will do when tho stomach is in this state, they give it the breast under the impression that it will cure everything. Let me say to you, when the first few days of the infant's life are over, regular ity in feeding must be observed, otherwise the health of both parent and child will suffer alike.

The frequency with which the child should be put to the breast dur ing the first month should be once every two hours during the day and once every three or four hours during the night. To attend to this from the very first is absolutely necessary, as a mother's rest should be as undisturbed as possible. When this is neglected and her nights are disturbed, her health will become im paired, the milk will deteriorate in qual ity, and the child will be badly nourished and suffer in consequence. New York Commercial Advertiser. EXPOSITION ECHOES.

Miss Laura Johns, of Decatur, has been awarded a prize of twenty five dollars for the best design for a seal for the Illinois woman's exposition board. George W. Childs, the Philadelphia phi lanthropist, signalized his visit to the World's fair grounds on May 5 by planting a linden tree on the "wooded island." The liberation of carrier pigeons and the keeping of a record of their flight will be an interesting feature of the live stock ex hibit at the exposition. A number of breeders of pigeons will exhibit birds. As evidence of the great and widespread interest abroad taken in the World's fair, it is announced that more than half of the mail now being received by the state department at Washington is iu relation to it.

The New York state building at the ex position, as shown by the plan which the commissioners have approved, will be one of the most commodious and artistic of all. It will measure 97 by 193 feet, be two stories high and covered with "staff" treated to represent marble. Tha estimated cost is from $80,000 to $100,000. Great Britain's building at the exposi tion will be a typical specimen of a pic turesque, half timbered English home of the time of Henry VIII, or about the period which the World's fair will commemorate. It will be ninety feet square, two stories high, and built of red brick, heavy timber and yellowish terra cotta, with red tiling for the roof.

Professor Charles D. Walcott, of the United States geological survey, intends to have at the World's fair an exhibit which will illustrate a sect ion of the earth's crust by specimens of the rock strata placed in their proper relative positions, and by collections of the characteristic fossils shown in connection with the formations in which they are found.

H. Keyes of the well known firm of Keyes Thatcher. Mr. Keyee is very wealthy, and his hold ings of city real estate are large, but, while he is one of the most enterprising, he is one of the most conservative business men in town.

"I was almost insane from the loss of sleep: almost everv known remedy I had tried with but little good effect. The most diligent attention which I paid to my health and the outlay of thousands of dollars only procured for me the faint hope that I might grow at least a little better. "It has been four years since I began the struggle for the retaining of. my health, and in all that time I can honestly say that nothing has proved of such great benefit to me as Paine's celery compound.

'I attribute mv present condition to the Use of the compound." Mr. Keyes' experience, says the Post, is like that of thousands of others who have taken Paine's celery compound. It made him well!
