cided Improvement has been made upon the plan Of

In order to place the work in the hands Of such a,
may not feel willing to pay the expensive price,
of monthly magazines the proprietor has determined
to publish the work al the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unllustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for a SIN
gle copy-fve copies for SIS 90. This is giving about

The trade will be served at very liberal rates
