Practical Equality Of the Sexes.

The main factors of the relation
between the sexes have hitherto been,
and probably still are, natural afTec-
ton the mans need of helpmate
the wOman's need of protector and
prOVider, esr rccially when she becomes
mother, and the common interest
OF parents in their children. One of
these factors must be Withdrawn, or
greatly reduced in importance, to
warrant us in concluding that a
fundamental change in the relation is
about to take place. Mr.. Mill hardly
notices any one of the four, and he
treats the natural relation which
arises from them as a purely artificial
structure, like a paper constitution
or an act of parliament. which legis-
latUres can modify or abolish at their
pleasure.
1t has no doubt been far from a
satisfactory world TO either sex; but
unless we attach factiticus value to
public life and to the exercise of
public profession, it will be very diff
cult to prove that it has been more
unsatisfactory for one sex than the
other. If the woman has had her
sorrows at home, the man has had
his war and his rough struggles with
nature abroad and with the sweat of
his brow he has reclaimed the earth.
and made it habitation for his part
ner as we'll as for himself. If the
woman has had her disabilities, she
has also had her privileges. War
has spared her; for. if in primitive
times she was made a slave, this was
better. in the days before sentiment
at least, than being massacred. And
Eer privileges have been connected
with her disabilities If she had
made war by her vote, she could not
have claimed special respect as a
natural, nor will she be able to claim
special respect as a neutral if she
makes war by her vote hereafter

Rela atiOnS Of Animals and Plants.

The animal, threfore, takes from
the air oxygen. and turns it into
carb0nic acid; the plant takes that
carbOnic acid and turns it into Oxy-
gen. which has thus discharged the
great Office of carrying carbon from
the bodies of animals and transfers
ing it to the systems Of plants. In
what an interesting relation do the
two kingdoms, the animal and the
vegetable, thus stand to one another,
not alone as respects the air in main
tanning its constitution uniform by a
mutual aDtagOnization, Lut also as
respects their own structures The
elements of which plants are formed
have all been derived from the
preeXisting parts of animals; and
the elements which animals consist,
rom the pyeexisting part of plants.

600, 900 miles. The stars were fged,
spherically distributed, at distance
but little greater than that of Sa-
tnrn. Beyond this limit a vacant
space was supposed to surrond the
universe. The discovery of Uranus,
in 1885, did away at once with this
belt, consisting of Saturn's orbit and
the frontier of solar domination was
pushed out to a distance of 1,90O,-
100000 miles from the centre of the
system that is to say beyond the
space which was vaguely supposed to
be occupied by the stars. TIE dis
covery of Neptune, in 1876, again re-
moved these limits to a distance that
would have appalled, our fathers. the
orbit described by this planet being
2,865, 0OO,0 900 miles from the sun.
But the attractive force Of the sun
extends further still. Beyond the
orbit of Uranus, beyond the dark
route slowly traversed by Neptune.
the frigid wastes of space are travelled
over by the comets in their cratic
courses. Of these, some being con-
trolied by the sun, do not leap from
system to system, but move in closed
curves, though at distance far grea-
ter than those of Uranus and Nep.
tune. Thus HaIley's comet recedes
to distance of over 5000, 100000
miles from the sun; the comet of
1911, $4,000, coo 900; and that of
1880, 100000, 900. The period
of the last-named comet is $500

WE, for one, have from the first
believed Mr.. Beechor guilty. We
have no way Of suppressing such
testimony as stands arrayed against
him by SIMPLY calling to our aid
only snch as Mr.. Beecher has in
his faver. To acquit Beecher, the
two accused must be put on the
stand, and the accuser invalidated,
and by that rule, nearly all the
evildocrs of the world can be
whitewashed. MIR. Tilton is very
specific in his charges, and he
shows 20 the wo;ld, certain letters
Of the accused which can be ex-
planned only 10y means of his sto>

Mrs. Tilton has gone from him to
live with the friends of Beecher
ard then 1t makes a case rather
stronger than poor, unprejudiced
human credulty can Withstand
The n. Y. TRIBUNE pronounces
Beecher the mightiest pulpit orator
since Paul preached at Athens, but
mighty as he is, it now seems that
no arm less mighty than the one
that rescued Peter, will be able to
make him stand before the world
