Frank LesIie's Popular Monthly for
September is out in a new dress of
type, which, with the artistic cover and
the broad, handsome pages, gives the
finest possible setting to its numerous
pictorial and literary features. These

sonable nature, and in the current
number include THE Romance of
Early California" by J. M. Scanland
"The story of the SAmovar," by W. s
Harwood; and a sketch of the c reer
of the late Professor Huxley, accompa
MED with an admirable portrait. The
Septe mber number of Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly contains the opening
installment of a new serial story, The
Magnet Stone" by Frances Swami
Williams, which bids fair to be the best
work yet offered by this rising young
Virginia novelist.

friends and admirers in and out of

OF course there was a time-and not
so very long ago-when men were
tyrants and kept women under. Now
adays the only thing denied them in
polite circles is to whisk around by
themselves after dark, ard plenty of
them do that The law is giving them,
with both hands, almost everything
they ask for, nearly as rapidly as ex
listing inequalities are pointed out, and
the right of suffrage is withheld from
them only because the majority of
women are still averse to exercising it.
Man. the tyrant and highwayman, has
UnroWn up his arms and is allowing
woman to pick his pockets. He is not
Wiling to have her bore a hole in his
upper lip, and drag him behind her
with a rope, but he is disposed to con
sent to any reasonable legislative
changes which she desires to have mad
short of those which would involve
masculine Disagreement or deprecia
tion.-From The Case of Man" By
Robert Grant in September Scribner's
