The example of our "Father Parmenides," is always good, and we shall imitate it in the particular set forth in this extract from _The Atlantic_ for last December: Following a convention, unquestioned and well-nigh universal, the _Atlantic_ has for sixty years published semi-annually in December and June an index designed for the convenience of readers who bind their magazines. This index with title-page occupies six pages; and while of great service to a couple of thousand subscribers and to a few hundred libraries, it is to eighty-odd thousand readers [These figures make us feel very small.] merely a dead and cumbersome weight. This month, therefore, we are breaking sharply with tradition, ... we are printing the index in its usual form, but in a small edition, and as a separate pamphlet, and hold ourselves ready to send it to _any reader who applies for a copy within thirty days of the publication of this magazine_. This change will involve the saving of a paper-wastage.... All paper saved tends to lower the price, which has already reached a height obstructive to the diffusion of knowledge. _A New "OUIJA Board" Book_ By PATIENCE WORTH HOPE TRUEBLOOD _A Mid-Victorian Novel by a Pre-Victorian Writer_ By the author of "The Sorry Tale" Edited by C. S. Yost $1.50 net In this new novel of mid-Victorian days with its pervading sense of dark mystery, "Patience Worth" abandons her archaic dialect, and writes in modern English. "Whether in the body or in the spirit, the author of the present volume is singularly gifted with imagination, invention and power of expression. 'Hope Trueblood' is much superior to 'The Sorry Tale,' partly because it is written in good English and partly because it displays far greater ingenuity of imagination ... a work approximating absolute genius."--_N. Y. Tribune_. "A novel that George Eliot might not have been ashamed to own up to."--_N. Y. Sun_. "From the very first there is established an atmosphere true to type and convincing. 'Hope' is one of the most radiant children we've met in a book in many a day. 'Patience Worth' has arrived."--_Chicago Daily News_.
