weekly issue, devoted to popular litera-
tuTe, science, art, education, and social
development.
It's Characteristic feature is coDlpre-
henSiUeRess - its contents intending
choice serial novels, the best attainable
short stories, papers of adventure and
travel, illustrated descriptions OF places,
sketches, with portraits, OF distin-
guished people, essays on social,
literary, and other topics, OF popular
interest; with a full survey OF dolngs
in literature, art, science, music, the
drama, and movements IN education
and social life.
The purpose is to furnish periodical
which will give, in addition to an
abundance of entertaining popular lit
erature, contributed by writers of ac-
knowledged standing, a thorough sur

advance of the arts, and the do1ngs In
all the higher branches OF intellectual

1t should be n ted that, in pursuance
of this plan, the space at our disposal
is Ear more extensive than that of the
magazines issued in monthly form, at
the same yearly subscription. The
ffty-tlco numbers Of APPLEToSs' Jour-
NAL, forming one gears issue, contain
one-tjtird more literary material than
the tlCeiUe corresponding issues Of the
largest Of the Dlonthlies. and, Of course,
much larger proportion an ercess Of
the smaller ones. We may add that n
candid examination will show that, with
greater quantity, there is no inferior
quality of literary production.
The Journal is made up in several
distinct departments, as follows:
General Literature, consisting, as
already described, of fiction, essays,
tales of adventure and travel, illustrated
papers, and articles of the usual maya
zine character.
Under Miscellany the reader finds
brilliant extracts from new books many
highly entertaining sketches of notable
persons and things, translated from
Continental journals; and extracts Civ
ing the core of the more noteworthy
papers in the English magazines.
In the Editors Table, social topics of
interest are discussed, and glances given
at current incidents and doings.
In Art Notes are given criticisms of
new paintings. observations on decora-
tive and household art, and general
survey of the progress of art in all its
branches.

the lyric and dramatic stage, with criti-
cisms OF music in the concert-room, and
papers upon the various manifestations
in the world of music and the stage.
! Literary Notes are devoted to reviews
of new books, and intelligence in re-
gard to literary progress.
Under Scientific Notes, the progress
of invention and discovery is carefully
noted, and the doings of the scientific
world are recorded.
Contemporary Sayings CLEANS the
brief, brighter utterances OF journalists,
essayists, orators. preachers, current In

summary of events in form convenient
for reference.

is put up in Monthly Parts. and in this

spicuously apparent.
