Facts are the dry fuel that feeds the fires of thought—of wit, humor, fance: Facts lie at the basis of mental development. Without them there is no real thought. To be an interesting, progressive member of the human family, self-improving and helpful to others, vou must have facts. With this in view you will assign a very high rank among recent publications to The World Almanac and Encyclopedia for 1901. You ought to have it. » Speculation. Tf you have it you will read it.

Your eye and your mind go on and on, absorbing all kinds of knowledge that fits in exactly with your every-day mental necessities. If you have any curiosity whatever you can with difficulty tear yourself away from the book. Take these four articles, selected at random, for instance: Four Centuries of America. Medical and Surgical Progress in the Nineteenth Century. Death Roll of 1900. “ Universities and Colleges. in the first you have a complete chronological record of your country, every line of it brimming with suggestion, reminding you of matters of which you know something, suggesting matters about which you feel that you wouid tike to know something. The second presents the astounding facts of the improve- ment in the treatment of the human body in a century that began with cupping, bleeding and chopping and ended YOUR ARTIOLES } with a rational system of attacking disease with- FROM THE prospaens, ror } out involving health as well. EXAMPLE. The third gives you a multitude of ideas dpeeeeeeee eens: about the large number of superior men and women who made their exit last year and about the monuments they left behind them. The fourth tells you the story of the Republic’s mighty work for higher education. If you have not looked into the subject you will be amazed. Think up a question to which you would like an answer. It may relate to any subject, political, sociological, sportitig, mechan- ical, agricultural, financial, educational, legal—it matters not what. Turn to this “tabloid” of the accumulation of human knowledge and you will find an answer. The clever advertising phrase, “It will answer any question you ask it,” is not a mere boust.
