As usual, Lippincott's Magazine for February opens with a first-quality complete novel? "Nance," by Robert Adger Bowen. This is a fascinating, rapidacting tale of modern society in the South. The men and women who figure in its pages are bright and agreeable and wellbred, and not the so-called "smart" people ot questionable reputation?though of course there is the inevitable commingling of saint and sinner one expects to find in a well-balanced story. The leading character) is a young and handsome widow, I who has come into possession of) her late husband's millions, and i bow she uses them and the power they bring her is told by the * author in a manner which is both ingenious and realistic. Another noteworthy featur01) "Ananias of Oshkosli," a glori- j ously hilarious story by George j Pan^olnh f!hester. Geortre All an England contributes a powerful Russian story entitled - "The Outcasts." Anne Warner is invariably amusing and original, and her talent for the unexpected is amply evidenced in "Her Marital Recapitulation." The lore of a social pariah for her child is the theme of Caroline Lockbart's breezy story of the West, called "The Woman Who Gave No Quarter." j "The Vacuously Vivacious Gibbs," by Marion Hill, is another one of the humorous neigbborboodtype stories which are attracting attention in this magazine. "The Quarrel," a childstory, by Minna Thomas Antrim, is natural and sweet. Will Lexington Comfort, whose specialty is writing rattling good stories of unconventional j people, is responsible for "Senor Jim," a humorous and vivacious lave episode. A clean cut little Revolutionary sketch, ? "For Polly's Sake," by Dixie Wolcott, is full of action. Up-to-date facts of startling interest, relating to our foreign diplomats, are given in a paper by Rene Bache under the title, "Shuffling the Diplomatic Court Cards." "When the ; World Laughs," by Marvin Dana, discusses humor in its varying phases, and offers many convincing samples, TJie verse of the month is i - plerftfful and pleasing, and many funny pages in the "Walnuts and Wine" department make a fitting end to this literary feast. fc- 1 Bow Bid She Know? The local Woman's Club had offered a prize for the best esI say, by any member, on "How to Make a Husband Happy." It i was a cash prize, and summer expenses were in the near distance, and the competition was large and warm. The winning- paper was just fe three words long, and, stranger even than that, it was submitted by a spinster of fifty-seven. Her dictum was merely this: "Peed the brute!" 4 * ^ February Lippincotfg,. NOUN 9HE3aRHSEffiHBfiE&DHHHHKHHHHKS? business at the old s ce offerings we will ant your doHai Record. GSTREE King THE SILENT OPINION. What Men Think of Wo men and Women of Men. Most men have some silent opinions about women and most women about men. There are certain types of face, certain kinds of manner, certain methods of expression even, for which many men and women are utterly condemned in the minds of some of their brothers and sisters. A disposition to dislike certain types of face is at times so strong as to suggest a previous existence. We do not openly say that all women with such and such eyebrows are hard hearted or that a man must be a charlatan if the color of his eyes and hair contradict each other. But we act continually upon notions hardly less unreasonable. Educated men with small vocabularies, for instance, are divided, as a rule, by clever women into fools by birth and self made fools, according to whether their want of equipment be ascribed to nature or to affection. To the first they are indifferent. To the latter they have almost always a more or less active dislike. Such men are often able, a fact their own sex invariably recognize. The man whose words are few and ill chosen may be a man of prompt and reasoned action, who, having been brought up among the silent wise or the garrulous silly, depre<->o+oc tlio woo+o nf no 1 nc ncfflHirmpfl by the game of talk. All mental athletics bore him just as physical athletics bore others. In the same way the fact that a man pretends to know no more words than a savage may be a matter of awkward though genuine humility?a fear of pretending to a culture he does not possess?or an act of superficial conformity to a passing fashion among a small set. It may have no more to do with his real mind than an ugly or an ill cut coat. Circumstances will sometimes convince even a clever woman of these facts 60 far as a given man is concerned, but she will never alter her silent opinion as to the generality. Clever women are very hard on the men they imagine to be fools. Able men, on the other hand, are not at all hard on women they know to be stupid. Where youth and beauty are concerned the fact is easily understood. But youth and beauty by no means explain the whole of this phenomenon. Many men are inclined to think that the kind of mental power in women which we colloauiallv call brains exists in inverse ratio to their common sense and serves only to carry them with fatiguing rapidity through verbal fallacies to a false conclusion.?London Spectator. Manna. An investigator has published the results of research into the origin and composition of the manna of the Bible, which even to the present day the Arabs, when traversing the desert, rely on as a means of existence both for themselves and their camels. He maintains that it is a kind of mushroom which under favorable conditions of soil attains a considerable size, many specimens weighing a pound or more. It has an agreeable taste and is slightly sweet. It is usually supposed that the manna of Scripture answers in its description very closely to the tamarisk manna, the Persian gazangubin. In the valleys of the peninsula of Sinai, especially in the Wady-el-Sheikh, manna is collected by the Arabs and sold to the monks of St. Catherine, who supply it to the pilgrims visiting the convent.

"Where is the dashing boarder who used to be the life of the table when I was here before, Mrs. Livermore?" asked an old patron, addressing the landlady. "I married him," was the quiet reply. "Indeed! He was one of the sprightliest fellows I erer met, always bubbling over with spirits and chock full of stories. He's away from home, I suppose? I haven't seen him since I returned." "He's at home. He has never been away." "Really! Where is he then?" "There he is at the end of the table." "What! That quiet, subdued looking man ?" "Yes, sir," significantly. Tip In Advancf. A gentleman who was in the habit of dining regularly at a certain i restaurant said to the darky waiter, : "Erastus, instead of tipping you every day I'm going to give you your tip in a lump sum at the end i of the month." "Dat's all right, sah," replied the darkv, "but I wondah if you would mind payin' me in advance?" * "Well, it's rather a strange request/' remarked the patron. "However, here's a five dollar bill for you. I suppose you are in want of money, or is it that you distrust me?" "Oh, no, sah," smiled Eras tun, slipping the bill in his pocket, "only I's leaving hyar today, Bah." - People's Home Journal. Dyspepsia ni General Debility" are cured by P. P.
