This bears a highly coloured ‘picture,’ and is greatly liked. =874. The Child’s Companion.= (R.T.S.) 1_d._ Well illustrated, and with pretty stories and short religious lessons. =875. Chatterbox.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) Weekly, ½_d._ Monthly, 3_d._ Well illustrated and amusing; fit for young people somewhat older. The information is capital. =876. Little Folks.= (Cassell) 6_d._ A somewhat superior article, with sensible tales, original correspondence, and prize competitions. Matter fairly good. =877. My Sunday Friend.= (Mowbray) 1_d._ With the strongest Church tone of all these, and useful Sunday questions. Stories good. =878. Sunshine.= 1_d._ Fairly good; but the Bible questions are too like riddles. =879. Boy’s Own Paper.= (R.T.S.) 1_d._ weekly, 6_d._ monthly. Capital, and full of adventurous tales. =880. Girl’s Own Paper.= (R.T.S.) 1_d._ weekly, 6_d._ monthly. Hardly equal to the Boy’s, but very much appreciated by girls in their teens, whose wants it seems to satisfy in a sensible, innocent way. =881. Dawn of Day.= (S.P.C.K.) ½_d._ Fit for older children and young people. Can be localised. =882. Atalanta.= (Hatchards) 6_d._ Especially for young girls, and proposing very useful subjects for competition. =883. Penny Post.= (Parker) 1_d._ The eldest of all these, and still keeping up its reputation. =884. The Youth’s Companion.= An American weekly published by Perry, 41 Temple Place, Boston. A subscription of 10_s._ per annum would bring it to England, and it has some of the best reading for young folks that we know. =885. Parish Magazine.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 1_d._ The first of all to be localised. Always fairly good. =886. Banner of Faith.= (Church Extension Society) 3_s._ 6_d._ per volume. With a strong Church tone. Very spirited. Can be localised. =887. The Gospeller.= (Mowbray) 1_d._ More decidedly religious reading. Can be localised. =888. The Leisure Hour.= Monthly, 6_d._; 7_s._ per volume. A mixture of tales and information. =889. The Quiver.= (Cassell) 6_d._ Of the same character. Monthly, and for Sunday reading, and thus containing articles on Holy Scripture. =890. Cassell’s Family Magazine.= Monthly, 7_d._ Of a more secular but wholesome character, with tales and substantial information. =891. Good Words.= (Isbister) 6_d._ Commands the ablest writers and comes the nearest to literature. Men are more likely to read it than the others. There is always a religious article or two—‘unsectarian.’ =892. The Net.= (Bemrose & Sons) 1_d._ Valuable as giving vivid accounts of missions. =893. The Gospel Missionary.= (Bell) ½_d._ Keeping up interest in missions. =894. The Coral Magazine.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 1_d._ On the part of the Church Missionary Society.
