ALM °amens.-- Appleton's great American Cyclopeadia is a vast, comprehensive library in itself, and re substitute for mono than ono thousand volumes specially given to ANS, sasses, TITElintlitS MO. IIVBSTS ; and unlike all encyclopaedias it is the complete cycle of a knowledge as given from the earliest dawn of mythological history up to the "times" vaunting spirit of the day, This work, with its 7,500 maps and 'illustrations and ita $0,000 subject articles, is now the "burning" envy of every encycloptedie publialier 111 the English spealciug world. This Cyclo- pedia is now completed taid follows yearly with its Cyclopeedia annuals, which keep it abreast with the age, whilst those which are 'published in continued edition form will have their first volume from fifteen to twenty years old when the last one is issued. It will thus bo seen that such eneyelopteditts which aro published in continued edition form, are one continued series of annual omiesione, and never up to date, oven the vory last volutne. So liar. rasing is this to the votaries of science, that ono hundred and forty-six Canadian eeholats of Ontario, with nearly a like numbee of Quebec and the Maritime province% have removed. their inferior works from their shelves and replaced them with Appleton's great American Cyclopmaia, now the leading authority for the multiplied millions.

We know of no place ha Ontario that has so fine or so large a supply of healthy maple shades Our soil appears to be peculiarly adapt 5. for their growth. Great credit is due to those who urged and had this matter well • attended to in years gong by. The supply- ing of trees by the Council is a wise move. If there are any citizens living on a treeless street, surely they can realize the beauty and comfort afforded by recent efforts in arboriculture. But besides their umbra- geous comforts and the gratification afford- ed in inthistering to the sense of the beautiful, trees serve a wise and benificent purpose in the economy of nature, by absorbing poisonous gases and giving of pure oxygen.
