I^THE PLAINDEALEB this week pre­ sents its LARGE family of readers with choice Christmas articles.

We are indebted to the all home print policy of this paper for our ability to give our readers such excellent read­ ing matter. 1 1 .

Christmas holiday is by all odds the merriest of the year. It i* a day of gen­ eral enjoyment and universal festivity. The most pleasant memories of by-gone days which one entertains are those per­ taining to Christmas. That the Christ­ mas of 1893 will be a day of jollification is earnestly to be* hoped. The PLAIN- DEALER would like to see all its readers enjoy supreme happiness on that grand holiday. Nothing would please us bet­ ter than to know that the little ones in the various homes would be al' smibs amid their numerous PRINTS ; that the parents would be delighted to hear the laughter of their children; and that the aged would find enjoyment in the recol­ lections of the past. Without more words, the PLAINDEALEK wishes all its readers a merry Christmas. Books *nd Periodica'* In addition to theirgreat work entitled The Book of the Fair, the Bancroft Co. will soon publish the Resources and De­ velopments of Mexico, written by Hubert Howe Bancroft at the personal request of President Diaz, who issued a coin mis sion to gather fresh material from every quarter <<f the republic and aid Mr. Ban­ croft in every way in the prosecution of the work. The Bancroft Co. are progressing well with$heir Book of the Fair, which is pro­ nounced as the finest and mostimportant publication connected with the great Ex­ position. In fact it has no rival; there are art works, and works of descriptive history and catalogues and directories but there is no other publication which unites all in a complete and perfect his­ torical and descriptive work of art. Its text is by Hubert Howe Bancroft, and its pictures by the best artists America and Europe can procure. Next in importance to the Fair itself, is a faithful reproduc tionof the Fair in printer's ink for per­ manent preservation. Most of the buildings will soon be torn down and their contests removed, but The Book will remam to teach and preach the world's comp'etest civilization through­ out all time. In this respect the repre­ sentation IS better than THE ORIGINAL, be­ cause one is effervescent, the other im­ mortal. For an important work, se­ curely lodged in all the libraries of the world, cannot die. All around the year 1894. Designs in color by J. Pauline 3uuter. Printed on heavy cardboard, gilt edges, with chain, tassels and ring. Size, inches. Boxed. Price, 50 cents. "A delightful tale in its mixrure of love and childhood, birds and flowers. The dear, dainty lit­ tle figures, decked in smiling gowns, and with curiously expressive faces, turning the leaves of the year for us with child hood's mixture of nonchalance and se­ riousness. They are quaint little figures and very tasteful combinations, and no one but will find a special charm in find­ ing dates on such an attractive callender and so we finish our first look at one oi the prettiest attractions of the season." Lee & Shepard, Publishers, Boston. A publication entitled, "The Advent­ ures of Uncle Jeremiah and family at the Great Fair," by Laird & Lee, Chicago, has found its way to our table. It is a neat volume abounding in graphic de­ scriptions of the adventures of "Uncle Jeremiah" and his family while seeing the Fair, narrated in a witty and amus­ ing manner together with many illustra­ tions of the same. The ^VORK is interest­ ing and ainnsing, and should be in every home. Price, cloth, f 1.00; paper,50cts. How le^Thie!

MSTThe tales told by the Chicago pap- 4>T8 of the destitution and suffering in that city are simply awful. Over 1000 flaen and boys sleep, or try to sleep, each tright on the wet, muddy stone floor of TTHE city hall, with only a newspaper be- tweed them and the floor.
