important reform has been adopted, which viii
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro-
yokingly, from number TO number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such as
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 unustrated predecessor.
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for sim
gle copy-fve copies for IS co. This is giving about
four pages for cent

may know how to regulate our issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious as to extend the usefulness
of the work as widely as possible.
