ed mn has bpe ms adj he Ol
the ''Phenx and Budget'-and in the way OF stories,
an important reform has been adopted, which will
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro
vokngly, from number to number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such
may not feel willing to pay the expensive prices
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unllustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for SIM
gle copyfve copies for SIS 90. This is giving about
four pages for cent

may know how TO regulate our issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
