The serial and short stories found in its pages are of a high literary quality and while they have all the dramatic interest that juvenile fiction can possess, they do not debase the taste of yopoig readers by xaggerated or falls views of life and motives of act ion. The paper contains valuable ai tides on scientific subjects and travel, historical and.

biographical sketches, papers on athletic sports and games, stirring piems, contributed by the brightest and most famous writers. No subject that may properly enlist the interest of young people is foreign to its purpose. In all. the departments fre use is made of illustrations in aid of the-text, and fine pictures representing the wrk of the foremost artists and engravers lavishly adorn its pages. Every line in the oaoer is mbiectel to the most rigid editorial scrutiny in order tkat nothing harmful may enter its columns.

The fact that aRpeb'sTocnq Pcofuc appears at weekly intervals sustains the interest felt by ijts readers, especially in serial stories and continued articles, while the sixtoen pages (exclusive of occasional Supplements! of which each number consists afford ample space for the utmost variety of matter.
