HIS HAIR BLEEDS.
rhe Professor Baa to Go to Bed After Bia
Flowing Locks Are Trimmed.
Professor Amery is a tailor on Geary
street. In appearance he is small and
alert, 'with piercing black eyes and fine
ly ent profile. As he walks along the
street he looks like any ordinary man,
for one does not see that he wears on
the very top of his head a large roll of
fine black or very .dark brown hair. His
hat he wears drawn down almost over
“* his ears for fear curious eyes will find
out what a strange and luxurious growth
he has.
The way he found out the peculiarity
Os his hair in bleeding was this: Several
years ago he had his hair cut for con
venience and to keep people from look
ing at him as if he were a museum
freak. No sooner was the hair off than
he took to his bed, almost completely
shattered in health, and was compelled
to stay there until he had gained enough
strength to take care of himself. After
.that he let his hair alone for awhile.
Seven mouths ago he was seized with
a desire to cut it off again, and as the
| result he was in bed, prostrated and un
able to care for himself.
“But I have found out how to man
’ age it now,” said the long haired man.
“There is a time of the moon when the
hair con be cut without harm. The
I ’■'"-■•.ler I have just found out It
is vue Lair Weeds. •
“What is the meaning of that?”
“By bleeding I mean that the sap
i runs oat at the ends of the hairs, just
as it does in young trees. That sap, con
sidering thu: my hair grows so fast and
long and is so altogether unusual, takes
my strength out with it. It reminds
you of the Biblical story, doesn’t it?
Well, it’s true, and much on the same
Ls lines.”
■ The professor’s physique, he said, was
f still weak from the effects of the last
cutting His hands shook from nervous-
I ness, although he was sitting in his
I chair quite composed. The professor ap
| pears to be in a fix. He cannot have
his hair cut because it weakens him,
and he cannot let it grow because it
takes all of his strength to support it.
Amery was born in Maine some 40
years ago. He had a sister with the
‘ same physical trait and two half broth
ers. —San Francisco Letter.
A WONDERFUL OLD COUPLE.
Rhode Island Pair Who Lived Together
Seventy-eight Years.
Lawton Sherman, who died at Prov-
► idence the other day, aged 99 years, and
his wife, who survives him, were the
most remarkable couple, in respect of
the duration of their marital relations,
probably in the annals of Rhode Island.
Mrs. Sherman is 99 years old, and her
health is rapidly failing. The couple,
both of them natives of Exeter, were
married in this place on March 17, 181 G.
Some years later they removed to Prov
idence, and Mr. Sherman engaged in
/business in that city. They had seven
children, two girls and five boys, and
four of the children are still living.
In 1891 the venerable couple cele
brated their diamond wedding, keeping
open house all day, and a little army of
friends called to see them, coming from
all parts of the plantations. At the time
of the old man’s death the couple had
• dwelt together 78 years.
Mr. Sherman was a mason and white
washer, and it is an interesting fact
that in the past 20 •years he had white
/washed the walls and ceilings of one
dwelling in Cranston street, Providence,
each season without an exception. He
never was ill, and he died of old age.
aHis wife has been all her life almost
equally healthy and vigorous.' Both
lived in the administration of every
president of the United States. Mrs.
Sherman was born on June 7, 1795.
Itwas a remarkable gathering of peo
i pie that attended the old man’s funeral
■ in his modest and quaint little antique
B low browed cottage in Providence.
■ There were his aged wife, four children,
V grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Some Opinions
from Eminent Men
of Georgia,
concerning the New Editioin
of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica anis the
remarkable [lntroductory Offer
OF THE
Atlanta Constdtuthon.
THE general distribution of the Encyclopedia Britannica,
ninth edition, has enabled the public to take the measure
of this incomparable work and place it in contrast with
other cyclopedias. The result has been to establish beyond
question its unqualified superiority. It is a giant where others
are pigmies. It stands the noblest work in all literature ; the one
only adequate representative of the advanced thought and
scholarship of the world. It is the only cyclopaedia in which
each subject is treated by an acknowledged authority upon that
subject. No other has spent one-third as much money
literary labor as the Britannica. No other can show a list of J
principal contributors, either so orient in their departments of
scholarship, or varied in nationality and profession, or so
numerous. The full list of contibutors numbers more than two
thousand persons, and includes the most eminent literary and
scientific names of Europe and America. While it is the
acknowledged standard, incomparably the best and most de
sirable cyclopedia in existence, its high cost has heretofore
placed it beyond the reach of the majority. The English edition I
is sold in this country at SB.OO per volume, and the Scribner
edition at $5.00 per volume, making the cost of the set, in 25
yolumes, from $125.00 to $200.00 in cloth binding
Some Cheap Editions
have been printed in America, but their incompleteness and
inaccuracy rendered them inadequate and unreliable as reference
libraries. The first.and oldest of these was the Stoddard reprint.
This reprint never became popular with the American people,
partly because of its small type, which was set without leads be
tween the lines and accordingly difficult to read ; but the princi
pal reason for its disfavor among the American people was the
fact of its inaccuracy in reproducing the original text. The
carelessness of a proof reader, for instance, in allowing a wrong
exponent in a mathematical formula, a wrong subscript in a
chemical formula, or a wrong figure in a date might serve only
to confuse the mathematician or mechanic, to put out the eyes
of the chemist, or turn to ridicule the orator who trusted to the
accuracy of his reference library. Yet such errors are inevitable
where the type is reset and the proofs read by men who have no
technical knowledge of the subject in hand.
Another reason why the Stoddard reprint never became popu
lar was that in reproducing the various engravings, diagrams,
plans, etc., no thought was given to the need of retaining
a proportionate scale of measurement, and the printers, who had
no other object in view than the general appearance of the page,
altered the scale-drawings at will, making them large or small
to suit their convenience in arranging the pages. The result
was, that although a considerable number of these sets were
sold, the enterprise «
Never Became a Real Success
and the old plates were finally sold or rented to Maxwell Sum
merville, who attempted to make the edition acceptable by add
ing foot-no’tes of correction here and there throughout the work.
Under this guise a few more sets of this work were sold, but the
public were not slow to discover that the “S*Mnmervi|le Edition ”
was simply a new name for
An Old and Rejected Work.
Following the Stoddard reprint there were two photographic
reprints : the Allen reprint and the first Peale reprint (no longer
on the market), but as the process of photographic reproduction
was them <Ol its infancy these editions were but slight improve
ments over the unleaded Stoddard edition, for while the repro
duction had the appearance of leaded type the pages had a slight- •
ly blurred effect. Yet, in spite of this objection, both of these*
editions enjoyed quite a wide popularity in their time, because
the public understood that there could be no question as to the
accuracy of a work reproduced by a photographic process.
But a new era has dawned on she Cyclopaedic world that will
not'recognize an edition which is merely a reprint.
A New Edition
Os the great Encyclopaedia Britannica has entered the fie\d, be
fore which the original Edinburgh Edition itself is compelled to
retire. Taking advantage of recent improvements in the art of
reproduction, the pages of the original have been duplicated in
such perfection that even one most skilled in the technical
knowledge of printing finds .it impossible to distinguish them
from type.set pages. But it was not enough to publish an edi
tion that was simply as good as the original; a few years of
inspection by a critical public had developed the fact that the
Edinburgh edition, while pre-eminently superior to anything pre
viously issued from the press, was yet not infallible, aad while
it has always been a matter of amazement among book-lovers
that so voluminous a work as the Edinburgh Ninth EdStion fur
nished so little grounds for criticism, yet all acknowledged that
here and there errors of a’.pronounced character had found their
way into its pages. It is a notable fact that heretofore every
publisher who undertook to place a new edition of fWls great
work before the American people, has undertaken the enterprise
with
A Sort off Superstitious Awe,
viewing the text of the original Edinburgh edition as -somehow
sacred and not to be tampered with. When, therefore,~fiie Edin
burgh edition proclaimed that “ In the world of letters, at least,
the Southern States have shone only by reflected ligtrt,” and
that “ mainly by their connection with the North, the Carolinas
have been saved from linking to the level of Mexico or the
Antilles,” the American publishers, in a spirit of servility quite
in contrast with thfiir usual independent thought, have repro
duced this slandetous statement verbatim, because, forsooth,
one of the twelve hundred English writers for Britannica has
said it, and, therefore, it must be true. In preparing this new
edition no good reason could be found why the errors of the
Edinburgh edition should be perpetuated, but not one word or
letter or subscript or exponent that appeared in the original

THE ROME TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1894.
Edinburgh edition was omitted or altered except where the
H iginai Edinburgh edition was
Found to be on Error.
In a few instances the articles (twenty-eight in all) were entirely
rewritten, bringing them in line with more recent knowledge,
but in all other instances the text of the original is reproduced
verbatim d literatim with supplementary information of later date
appended. The maps, also, were in nearly all cases supplanted
by new and later ones, which were produced especially for this
work at a cost of $30,000. From a literary standpoint, therefore,
the new edition equals in every point, and excels in many points
all previous editions of the Encyclopaedia Britannica From a
mechanical standpoint, also, the new edition is
Strikingly Superior

the highest art, the margins are wide, the paper is of a fine an:
compact texture, which, while thinner than the paper used ih an»
previous edition, yet avoids all transparency, and therefore
gives every advantage of the former large and clumsy volumes,
while it is much more compact and convenient to handle. Tin
binding is also superior to any former edition, being made with a
double-hinge flexible back, which is more durable than any other
binding, and permits the pages to open out flat. In preparing
this new edition for publication
The AtDanta Constitultaon
was able to give valuable assistance byway of criticisms and
corrections, and it takes a just pride in the fact that it played ar.
important part in giving the public an edition which possesses
all the virtue of the former editions, but has corrected the slan
derous and untruthful reflections against the people of the South
It is partly* as a recompense for these services that the publish
ers of the new edition have granted a contract to THt CONSTI
TUTION whereby its subscribers can obtain this great ’* home

prices, and upon terms so easy that it is within the reach of th;
humblest citizen.
It should be remembered, however, that this is simply a plan
adopted by the Britannica publishers to get this new edition be
fore the public, and when that has been sufficiently accomplished
regular prices will be resumed, and then CONSTITUTION sub
scribers, like all others, will have to pay full retail price for tin
work. By ordering now you will save from s2l to s<s on

lucidly presented that it explains itself and is easily un 1
derstood. In the arrangement and trea ment of the variety
of subjects contained in the 2b volumes it is admirable, and
the practical knowledge and instruction in its pages com

George F. Payne, F. C. S., State Chemist,
Atlania, says: “The Encyelopicdia Britannica is so well
known and esteemed by all educated English-speaking peo
ple that addiiional testimonials would almost seem power
less to add greater emphasis to what has abroady been said in
its praise.”
Park Morrill, Forecast Official; U. S. Weather

opinions as to the worth of the new Encyelopicdia Britan

authority.”
Wm. A. Wright, Comptroller-General of
Georgia, says: “lam of the opinion that the new edition of
the Eneyloptedia Britannica is t he best collection of all kinds
of reliable data that has ever been published, and char. its
general introduction in Georgia meant much.”
C. B. Satterlee. Inspector-General of Georgia,
says: “ In my opinion, based on casual reading and investi

an authoritative character extant, and within comparatively
easy reach of the public.”
James M. Couper, First Assistant Postmas

Professor J. C. Chilton, President Texas

that ‘the mind grows upon what it feeds.’ When a man has

he has only gotten half through—he has done as much for
He must next provide food for the mind. A
good library is just as essential to the highest happiness of

use it, our professors use it, and all our students use it. It
ought to be in every home.”
Thomas Peters, Life Insurance, Atlanta,
says: “It is an indispensable handbook for the daily use
of the merchant, the artisan and the professional man. Ex
haustive and comprehensive, scholarly and yet adapted to
the understanding of the man of business who has no time
for technicalities—a single item may furnish information to
repay the entire expenditure. In these days, one may as
well be without telephone and typewriter as not to have an
Encyclopedia ready at hand in office or workshop.”
I. N. Steelman, Missionary, Orizaba, Mex

so quickly, now one oi the very few sets of Encyclo

knowledge my set is the best in Mexico. I have now f ■

Rabbi Henry Cohen, Congregation B'.tai
Israel, Galveston, says: “The Encyclopaedia Britannica
contains all the elements of a working reference library
sufficient for the literary needs of non professional men and
indispensable to professional men."
Professor David Swing, Chicago, says: “It
is the king of its tribe.”
Mrs. W. H. Felton, Chairman Executive
Committee Woman’s Department Cotton States and Inter
national Exposition, says. “I am highly pleased with the
new edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, with its new
maps and original American articles, fori regard-a first-class
encyclopaedia as invaluable to a family—whether composed
of youths or adults. This edition is eminently satisfactory
and certainly comprehensive; it reaches up to date, gives a
fine statement of Georgia’s resources, and an exhaustive re
cital of the Columbian Exposition.”
R. T. Dcrsey Attorney, Atlanta, says; “I
have been using the Encyclopaedia Britannica for several
years: it is a work brimful of useful and accurate informa
tion. I regard it as tbe most valuable library.”
E L. Mathews, General Secretary, of the
Young Men’s Christian Association, of Atlanta, says: “ It is

may be. The information upon the Bible and Biblical sub

bould have access to it.”

Dr. C. K. Nelson, Bishop of Georgia, says :
The Encyclopaedia Britannica is the only book I know of
which never disappoints one seeking information. It is on
this account necessary to every complete man, and the
authorities being generally most reliable, one does not fear
to appeal to this handbook of knowledge.”
Bishop A. G. Haygood, of the M. E.
Church of Georgia, says: “ I prefer the Britannica to any
Encyclopaedia.”
Rev. J. B Hawthorne, D.D., Pastor Ist
Baptist Church, Atlanta, says : “ I have used the Britannica
for many years, and find it absolutely indispensable. 1 can
most cheerfully commend it to the public.”
Rev. Walker Lewis Trinity Methodist
Church, Atl'anta, says: “I regard the Encyclopedia Britan
nica as the best in print. It is of immense range in its
