HIS world-re- nowned mag- azine ‘‘ for young people and their elders” is to have a great programme for the new volume beginning with November, 1888. The editor, Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, calls it ‘an all-around-the-world year,” because it is to contain a great number of stories and papers about the world in general. Of course the bulk of the contents, as heretofore, will relate to Amer- ican subjects; but young America is always glad to learn what goes on in the world outside, and these storics and descriptive papers are not of the dry geographical order, and they will be strikingly illustrated by the best artists. We have space here for only a few of the most prominent announcements.
