Farnham. infor either its appearance or usefulness, we may mention that it is a monthly illustrated magazine of sixteen pages, and being intended ior circulation among the native youth, is printed in good-sized Chinese characters. The illustrations are numerous, and the accompanying articles are instructive, sing, moral, religious and scientific.
magazine is now in its fourth year.
many of the missionaries say their preachers find the anecdotes idants appearing in its n each trip, for distribution in the villages and boats near which they pass. The labour would be trifling, while it is impossible to over-rate the amount of good that must follow this dissemination of Western ideas among classes whom it is more than difficult to reach otherwise.
