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. F His oldest child is 76 and his youngest 61.—Exeter (11. 1.) Telegram.

T. O. Hand. 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 MAGNETIC NERVINE.

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 to anything that has heretofore been presented to theput’ic The print is large and clear, the engravings art specimens • I 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 educator" for a limited time at remarkably low introductory 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 the price of the books, besides paying for them at such an easy that you w :, l scarcely rea’ize any outlay.—THt ATLANT.. CONSTITUTION'.

The Entire Intelligent World is Agreed that Britannica has no peer. Professor J. C.

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 a mine of information upon every subject and an invalua ble possession to any one, no matter what his profession may be. The information upon the Bible and Biblical sub jects is such that every Christian worker and Bible student bould have access to it.” : Clergymen are Among the most Compe- tent Encyclopaedia Critics. 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 topics, covering almost every subject of importance to the people. A compend of science, art. biography, social and secular literature, it is itself a library of no small dimen sions. The articles have been prepared by the best thinkers of the age. If you have it not by all meanstake it. Rev.

It should be found in the liL..,ry if only for its time-saving qualities. ’ Father P. A. Connelly writes: “The merits of this admirable work are such as to give ni great pleasure in recommending it to all.” Father J. O’Shanahan, S. J.. President St. Mary's University, Galveston, savs: “The EneyclopivHa Britannica is a mine oi general information and a library in itself. We recommend it to all who may need the ■ ost complete work of general reference published in m d-.-rn times.” Dr. J. Bloch, Rabbi Congregation Beth. Israel, Portland.

Brown, Seattle, says: “ Your edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is tne ver best ever printed. Xo person who is a lover of knowledge and research should be without this valuable set of bonks, with out which the most costly and rare library is inco.npete.
