We have received copy Of the Balti-
more Sun Almanac for 1901, and 1t will be
carefully filed awsy, with many Of its pre-
decessors, as one of of the most useful ac-
quisitions that can be found upon the desk Of
a busy country editor. There is no more
useful information Confined within the
covers Of any volume of like size and news
paper man can as well afford to do without
printing press as a copy Of the "Bue Book of
Mary lard", as It is often called. There is
only one improvement that we could suggest
and that is for the publishers to attach chain
and paddock to each one as we experience
great deal of trouble with people who con-
stantly borrow our copies and fail to return
them.
