Wo mem VINO PIaaaa Mem,

Man, in many respects, is peculiar
animal, says writer in The Ladies'
Home Journal for March. He is easily
persuaded by a woman, but he cannot
be driven. A woman who seeks mans
admiration and says by her demeanor
or by suggestion admire my beauty
or my brightness" is a woman from
whom a man will turn quicker than
from anything else. A woman slways
makes a mistake when she attempts
to force her beauty or her talents up
on manor upon another woman
for that matter. A woman who seeks
admiration always reminds me Of a
hollyhock. conspicuous and Haunting.
and anxious to be seen. Now, men
men never care for hollvhocks. Ii is
not mans fayorite flower. The violet
or half blown rose is more to his
aste. Go where there Ia company OF
we'll dressed men, with boutonierres,
and, II in season, the violet and the
rose will be found on the lapel of near
ly every coat. And what Is true with
men Of flowers Is true OF what he al.
ways associates with tnem--woman
A man likes to discover violet or a
rose, he wants to find out It's charm
himself; he doesn't wish directory
TO aid him in this. and he is very con
temptuous OF the woman who here,
there and everywhere asks his admir-
alton. The women who are popular
with men are the women who impress
Them with their womanliness, and by
this is meant that subtle something
that says Il do not thrust myself for
ward, but perhaps ii you find me you
may like ne" Men have always liked
voyages Of discovery, and they like K
seek the ideal woman, and not have
her thrust her greatness upon them.

lie Of oeneral sherman.

No literary announcement Of tpe
year is OF greater interest to the gen.
eral public than that of q comprehen-
siye Life Of General sherman, which
is about to be published and sold
tn ough agents by the noted house Of
Hubbard Brothers. Of Philadelphia.
Admirable biographies OF Grant and
Sheridan, complete to the time OF their
death, are already familiar to the pub
lie, but the lite Of q third great com
mander, to finish the series, has been
lacking. The various biographies Of
Sherman hitherto have necessarily
been incomplete; and even his own
memoirs, written in 1876, said moth.
ing Of his intensity interesting early
life, and not word, Of course, Of the
more than twenty wears Of social ac-
tivity and fraternity with old com.
rades since the war.
The work which is now TO be issued
will splendidly supply the widely felt
demand for a history Of great strate-
gic commander. 1t is being written
by General o. o. Howard, man OF
fine literary attainments, who knew
Sherman better than any other Of his
comrades now living, and ranked but
one to him in the army, and by Will
lis Fletcher johnson, whose ability as
historian is familiar to the reading
public of America through his former
unusually popular works, which have
had millions OF readers, and the sale
Of their vast editions enriched an
army OF book agents. That this his.
tory Of Sherman, the last OF the great
Generals, will surpass all others in pop
ularity is not to be doubted.
The story Of this gceat Generals ca.
reeri is OF a marvellous march from the
mountains Of time to the sea OF eter.
nifty. OF the three great war heroes,
Sherman was by far the most interest
ing personality. He was the best
known to the public and the best
loved fer his genial disposition and
warm sympathy with the popular
heart. He has joined his illustrious
compeers in the eternal bivouac OF the
dead. His IL life to study--to en-
ulate--and is a profound inspiration
The forthcoming volume will tell the
whole story Of his marvellous career,
and from the authorship engaged up
on it, we are assured it will be told in
way that will enthral the attention
and interest Of every reader from the
first to last. 1t is book every Ameri'
can will want and one every Ameri.
can youth should read. 1t will doubt
less be the best life OF a great Chief
tain published, and We perdict for il
wonderful popularity.
