There is a Chicago Building an d Loan Association which has great faith in women barrowers, says the Investment Review: Running over an experience of eight years, the association has not lost a cent from its female stockholders and the secretary is firmly of the opinion that when a woman starts out to secure a home she does not cease, her efforts until she gets it. The first loan of the association mane to a woman was on a lot out at Thirty-first and \\ allace streets. It was in the nature of an experi ment, and some of the officers thought it had policy, but the wo man stated the case this way: “We are paying $lO a month rent and 1 know we had just as well pay that amount toward the pur chase of a home. She succeeded in getting $750 with which the association put up a brick cottage on her lot. Since that time she has added another -tory t<> the building and a pay ment has never been missed. “I have observed,” said the secretary "that a woman after a home, if she has a good husband, manages to economize in such away that she forms the best kind of borrow er- We had one once who fell be hind several months but she kept continually coming to the office and declaring that she would come out all light, and she did. r l hat has been my experience with all the women to whom we have ' i heel money.’’ PREPARING for the future "When I’m a man” said little Tom, “And big, and tall, and strong, 1 m going to keep a drug-atote and Drink soda-water all day long.” “And I,” said little Polly Ann, 'l'll tell you what I’ll do; income and make you awful rich By buying things of you.” 1 B b«y tooth-brushes and quinine, *nd squills an ,| things like that.

TR'hlE general distribution of th? F:ncyclopa»dia Britannica, ninth edition, has enabled the public to take the measure of this incomparable work and place it in contrast with other cyclopaedias. 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 cyclopedia in which each subject is treated bv an acknowledged authority upon Uiat subject. No other has spent one-third as much money on literary labor as the Britannica. N<> other can show a list of piincipal contributors, either so eminent in their departments of scholarship, or varied in nationality and profession, or so numerous. The full list of contibu.torx numbers iporv than two thousand pr< ns, &’•.* jpf Ip.jra the most eminent literary and scient c names of Europe and America. While it is the acknowledged standard, incomparably the best and most de sirable cyclopi.'ia in ex' .tunce, its hi.h cost has heretofore placed it bc\ ond the reach of the majority. The English edition is sold in this country at SB.OO per volume, and the Scribner edition at $5.00 per volume, making the 0 st of the set, in 25 volumes, 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 jil'. r dries. The first and oldest of these was the Stoddard reprint. 1 his 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 Stodda. d 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 01 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 AS THINK THESE, SO HINKSTHE WHOLE INTELLIGENT WORLD. Samples of this and other Encyclopaedias can be seen and compaired at 309 BROAD STREET, ROME OBORGIA. Men of Business want Accuracy, Complete ness, Conciseness and Convenience. Joseph Jacobs, Jacobs’ Pharmacy, At hmt:i, says ■ “ I am pleased to signify ray appreciation of the new up-to d ite edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, a work whose introduction into the homes of our people I through the Constitution, is destined to mark a new era in educational advancement.

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 rttake the edition acceptable by add inf foot-notes of correction here and there throughout the work Under this pulse a few more sets of this work were sold, but the public were not slow to discover that the ” Summerville Edition ” was simply a new name for An Old and Rejected Work. Following the Stoddard reprint there were two photographic reprints; • Allen reprint and the first IVile r print (no longe* on the market), but as the process of photographic ret” lucti... was then in 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 pap s he 1 a slight ly blurred effect. Yet, in spite of this obi . . n. I- :h of these editions enjoved quite a wide popularity in their t::n", becaure the public understood that there could be no question as to the accuracy of a work reproduced by a photographic proc. -.s. But a new era has dawned on the Cyclopedic world that will not recognize an edition which is inertly a reprint. A New Edition? Os the grea* Encyclopedia Britannica has entered '.he field, bo , fore which the original Edinburgh Edition itself is < in, -11. J. to , retire. Taking advantage of recent improvein.. in th' tr’ot re; reduction, the pages of the original have I i dupb i‘ - i.. , such perfection that even one most skilL.-I in the I. 1 , j knowledge of printing finds it imp.ossible to distinguish them I from type-set pages. But it was not enough to publi .It an edi tion that was simply <rs flood as the original; a few years of inspection by a critical public had developed the fact that the : Edinburgh edition, while pre-eminently superior t > anything pre viously issued from the press, WAS yei hot Infallible, and while it has always been a matter of amazement among book-lovers ‘hat so voluminous a work as the Edinburgh Ninth Edition fur nished so little grounds for criticism, yet all acknowledged that 1 here and there errors of'a pronounced character had f >und their way Into its pages. It Is a notable fact that heretofore every publisher who undertook to place a new edition of thiy 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, the Edin burgh edition proclaimed that “In the world of letters, at least, the Southern States have shone only by reflected light,” and that “ mainly by their connection with the North, the Carolinas have been saved from sinking to the level of Mexico or the Antilles,” the American publishers, in a spirit of servility quite in contrast with their usual independent thought, have repro duced this slanderous 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 I edition no good reason could be found why the errors of the Edinburgh edition should be perpetuated, but not one word or I letter or subscript or exponent that appeared in *he original Clergymen are Among the most Compe tent Encyclopaedia Critics. Dr. C. K. Nelson, Bishop of Georgia, says : • ‘ The Encyclopedia Britannica is the only book I know oi which never disappoints one seeking information. It is on I this account necessary to every complete man, and the authorities being generally most r< liable, one does not fear to appeal to this handbook of knowledge.” Bishop A. G. Haygood, of the M. E. Church of Georgia, savs: “ 1 prefer the Britannica to any Encyclopaedia.” Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, D.D., Pastor Ist Baptist Church, Atlanta, says: “ I have used the Bri annica for many years, ami find it absolutely indispensable. 1 can most cheerfully commend it to the public.” Rev. Walker Lewis Trinity Methodist Church, Atlanta, says : “ I regard th" Encyclopedia Britan nica as the best in print. It is <-f immense ntnge iu it topics, covering almost every subject of imp >r ance to the people. A compend of science, art. bi.igr-.phy, social a. o secular literature, it is itself a library of no sin '1 dimen sions. The articles have been prepari dby the best thinkers of the age. It you have it not by all means lake iu Rev. Henry McDonald, D.D., Second Bap tist Church, Atlanta, says: *' I have used tiie Eccy. a-..iii Britannica for years, and the information for which you vainly search elsewhere is sure to be found in its ear< i.dly prepared volumes. It should be found in the library ii only for its time-saving qualities. ” Father P. A. Connelly writes: “ The merits of this admirable work are such as to give me great pleasure in recommending it to all,” Father J. O’Shanahan, S. J.. President St. Msry's University, Galveston, savs: “The I. ii>: Britannica is a mine of general information and a library in itself. We recommend It to all who may need the’. o-t complete work of general reference published iu modern times.” Dr. J. Bloch, Rabbi Congregation Beth Israel, Portland, Oregon, says: ‘‘As a book of reference 1 consider the Encyclopaedia Britannica the best authori.y, embodying as it does the learning of the greatest minds of the world, and as a book of general Inf irmation it has be come a necessary fixture in every libraiy.” Father Hylebos, St. Leo’s Church, Tacoma, writes : “It is the product of the culture and genius of the master minds of the world, and the plan of acquiring the work could not be made more beneficial to the public at large.” Rabbi A. Brown, Seattle, says: “Your edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is the very bes« ever printed. No person who is a lover of knowledge ane research should be without this valuable set of books, with out which the most costly and rare library is incomplete. It has many advantages over the original.” President A. E.

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 et lib ratim with supplementary information of later date appended. The maps, also, were in nearly all cases supplanted by new and later on< s, which were produced especially for this work at a cost of fjo.ooo. From a literary standpoint, therefore, the new edition equals in every point, and exceis in many points, all previous editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica. From a mechanical standpoint, also, the new edition is Strikingly Superior to anything that has heretofore been presented to the public. The print is large an 1 clear, the engravings are specimens of the highest art, the margins are wide, the paper is of a fme an? compact texture, which, while thinner than the paper used in any previous edition, vet avoids al! transparency, and therefore gives every advantage of the former large and clumsy volumes, while it is much nr > compact and convenient to handle. The 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 perm’t the pages to open out flat. In preparing this new edition for pubreation The Artanta Constitution »v.is able to f ive va’. able assistance byway of criticisms airt corrections, and it takes a just pride in the fact that it p'ayed an iaipoitant part in givuig the public an edition which possesses all the virtue of •’ .
