"Anticipation is as sweet as savory odors to a hungry man," said a writer of olde time. There Is a
large mm of anticipation in many hearts as the Holiday Season draws near. a The pleasure both oi giving
and receiving tokens of love and friendship is a delight of the imagination long before ihe hour for pre
sentation arrives. ' ' ; ? .
THERE ARE 1 THOUSANDS;
of pretty things that bring happiness to the recipient, tut th-re io'bothtngthat prolongs the delight of
anticipation so mnch as a book; there it lies on the Chrhrtruas table, and i evidently a book which the
loving friend or parent has bestowed. But now a new form of anticipation springs jp Immediately, one
which will last a long time, for until those beautiful, mysterious pages are opened and read from begin
ning to end there Is still some new -delight in store. Eveo.then much has been read hastily, and one
turns back, and goes over the pages again and again. Were the question asked? .What presents of for
mer years are now most valuedin the household? The answer would be almost ihvria1!y,"fhe books, for
they never become ont of fashion, and never grow old. - ' j
The NEXT QUESTION ,
is where can a good stock of Books le found? "We "answer tinheeitatingly, at the celebrated whole
sale and retail book house of ......... ...

KIN6ST05, JAMAICA FIKS. : -
" New York, Dec. 21. Additional details
are at hand concerning the recent great fire
at Kingston, Jamaica.' It appears that had
there been 'the simplest ' means' at hand
when the conflagration began to put out
the flre it could not have spread further
than a few yards. For some time ? after
the alarm was given tiut a few bundles of
shingles were in flames. The fire brigade
arrived on the scene ten minutes after the
alarm but there was some difficulty
m attaching hose to ' the 'hydrants
1C ianwhile the flames ascended and caught
the tall building to the north of the Sav
ings bank. The water was now, pretty
well brought into play but sparks from
this high house blew widely about and in a
few minutes eight distinct .houses in va
rious parts of the town were ablaze 'nd
sendiug sparks to other houses, by which
means the destroying element soon - sur
rounded several districts, literally defying
the efforts of the firemen. The people are
homeless, hundreds of them sleeping in the
open air at Central Park and the race
course, where the governor is endeavoring
to get tents belonging to the militia erected
for their covering. . :
