BY THE WAY

[graphic]

N a recent issue of The Outlook," a subscriber writes, "you refer to Dr. Work as being, to the best of your knowledge, the first physician to occupy

Cabinet position. It has perhaps already been called to your historical recollection that Dr. James McHenry vas Secretary of War in the Cabinets of Washington and Adams."

Dr. McHenry, another reader adds, was born in Ireland in 1753, was a stulent of Benjamin Rush, and was one of he signers of the Declaration of IndeDendence. Fort McHenry was named in his honor. Dr. McHenry inaugurated nany radical and enduring reforms in he army. He died at Baltimore in

1816."

The nervous tension of life in Ireland luring the events that preceded the esablishment of the Irish Free State is well shown by an article in the "Atlanic" which tells of "a kindly, whitenaired American woman" who one morning, while living in Dublin, came to the verge of a nervous breakdown and asked her husband for a razor.

"What in the world do you want with t?" he asked.

"I'm going to kill myself. Where is t?"

"Why, my dear, my razor won't help you. It's a safety."

A few days later she met General Macready at dinner in the Royal Hospial on the outskirts of Dublin, where he ived with his family, and related the incident to the old officer.

"Well, Mrs. " drawled the General, solemn and thoughtful, "I shave with an old-fashioned razor. Every morning when I lather my face I take this old weapon in my hand and I say to myself: 'Now, Nevil Macready, will you cut your throat or shave yourself?'and I always shave!"

A children's party among the Kaffirs of South Africa, according to a book called "Savage Childhood," has fully as much fun as any of our parties. Among the games played is one called "Schoolmaster." A twelve-year-old boy marshals five or six diminutive youngsters who have lost their front teeth. He begins to teach them their A B C's. (These three English letters are widely known among the natives.) He says to the first tiny boy, "Now say A, B, C." The little fellow begins, "A, B, Thee." "Wrong," says the teacher; "hold out your hand; it is not Thee, but C." The child without the front teeth says, "But I didn't say Thee, I said THEEEEE." "Exactly," says the inexorable teacher; "so hold out your hand and get whacked." Amid roars of laughter he now says to the second boy, "Now, sir, say A, B, C." The little fellow wriggles and says, "But I can't thay it." "Oh, you can't 'thay' it, can't you? Well, I'll teach you to 'thay' it. Now, sir, say A, B, C." This boy pronounces it with great emphasis, "A, B, FTHEEEE." "Wrong again," says the teacher; "it is

C." "But I can't say FFFTHEE; I've lost my tooths." "Then hold out your hand, and I'll teach you to lose your 'tooths," " says the mischievous teacher. The small boy gets a crack on the hand amid great laughter, and the game goes on until all the victims have tried in vain to say C.

A little girl, a contributor writes, is learning "The Village Blacksmith;" she astonishes her teacher by getting it this way in a rehearsal:

The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and swiney arms.

Another-perhaps this was a case of tangle-tongue said that the National Hymn was "The Star-Bangled Banner."

"Home Cooking," reads a sign in one of those New York delicatessen stores that are the haven and refuge of the tired apartment dweller. "That's what my husband likes," remarked one of these housewives as she was purchasing the family dinner while a reporter stood by.

Anatole France, who is seventy-eight, went to Stockholm to receive his Nobel Prize just after recovering from a severe illness. He was fearful of catching cold, and wore several well-padded waistcoats under his coat. The Swedish custom officers were suspicious. "What have you got in here?" one of them asked, with his hands on the great novelist's coat. "France," was the reply.

The following story has appeared in several papers: "Shortly before going abroad last year Sinclair Lewis bought a fancy suitcase for his wife. They used it on a week-end trip up the Hudson and it was stolen on the train. In it was the manuscript of Lewis's new novel. The real tragedy is that Mr. Lewis did not have a carbon copy."

Messrs. Harcourt, Brace & Co., Mr. Lewis's publishers, say regarding this story: "Aside from the facts that the stolen suitcase was not one but two, that they were not stolen on a train up the Hudson, U. S. A., but at a station in London, that in neither of them was there a single word of manuscript, notes, or any other literary material, that Mr. Lewis always keeps a carbon copy of everything he writes, and that, finally, when the suitcases were stolen he had completed only a small part of the new novel, 'Babbitt,' the story is a triumph of correct detail."

The British office boy is fully as convinced of his own worth as is his American compeer, if we may judge from this excerpt from "Answers:"

"Two office boys were outside the palatial building of a great firm. Said the first boy: 'Ullo, Dick! Wotcher lookin' at the orfice wot sacked you last week for? Are you trying to get took back?' His friend sniffed. 'No bloomin' fear!' he said. 'I just dropped roun' to see if they woz still in biz'ness.'"

Why Do Men Build Bookshelves
in Their Homes?

FAIR question, isn't it? Why does a man when he builds his own home carefully provide space for bookshelves in his living room, in his library or den in the same manner as he builds pantry shelves, closet shelves or shelves in his medicine cabinet? The answer is a simple one, the obvious one. To put books in, of course, in the same manner as pantry shelves are to put food on, closet shelves to put clothes on and shelves of the medicine cabinet are to put medicine in.

But there's more of an answer to the question. A man puts bookshelves in his home or buys bookcases because he knows that either are as necessary in his home as pantry shelves or closet shelves. He knows that books are as vital a necessity to every man and his home as his food and his clothes and medicine.

The Corner Stone of Every Home Library

[ocr errors]

In the same manner as a man chooses his food for the good it is going to do his body, and his clothes for their serviceability, he chooses the books to put in these shelves for their ability to feed and strengthen the mind; books that clothe the man and his family with knowledge and give protection against ignorance. He probably has not unlimited means, so he must choose with utmost care to give his family such books as will be of the most value day in and day out. He is not interested in having books that simply look nice on the shelves. He insists that the books he selects must represent a worth while investment in knowledge; books from which he and his family can obtain a definite, material and lasting benefit.

He selects and purchases first the Encyclopaedia Britannica and builds his library around this great work. Why?

Because it furnishes him with authoritative information on every conceivable subject written by the greatest authorities the world affords.

Because it gives to every woman information which she needs to keep posted on the events of this intensely interesting world.

Because it furnishes the son and daughter of the family the information to satisfy the children's expanding minds and supplements their school studies.

Because the Encyclopaedia Britannica has been for generation after generation, since 1768, the standard encyclopaedia of the world.

The Luxury of India Paper

He chooses the Encyclopaedia Britannica because it is well made from the physical standpoint. It is printed on the genuine India paper, which makes the Britannica far more usable than any encyclopaedia ever was before. The beautiful and serviceable bindings make it a book that he is proud to have in his library and to be seen by his friends.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica is sold on easy terms of payment, a small amount with the order and moderate monthly payments. Every family can thus afford the Britannica and have in the home the greatest means to knowledge ever put in the hands of mankind. Send for the large illustrated booklet describing the Britannica, and giving its attractive prices and terms of payment.
