A Hieh=Mark.

The New York Almanac for 1901, is sued by Chas. H. Fletcher, Of New York City, has set high mark for sim liar publications during the new cen tury, and show remarkable enterprise on the part of the publisher when we consider that it is intendedsolely for free distribution. These numerous publications of this character are usli- ally gotton up with the single idea of
 cheap9ess, while the thought Of ex- pense has certainly been set aside in the case of the New York Almanac.
 The artistic eoloring of the cover, the accuracy of it's calenders and it's fund of information all go to make it well worth of perusaI and preservation. It has innumerab1e hints for mothers as to the care of children. A unique page is the "Baby's Record page, which is in blank, to be filled in with baby $ name, date of birth, cut first tooth, etc
 The whole is a very creditabIe piece of work and may be procured at any drug store or direct on request, free.
