WEAK IN THE KNEES.
A Physical Popularity That Han caps
Woman I'm the Race with Man.

"oHiUh tnc tsaCc with Man.
The difference Of weight in the brains
OF men and women has long been q
source of deep interest to all who dis
course of equality and rights. says the
Medical Record, of New York. Those
extra ounces remain more or less q
stumbling block to the unwary. Meta
physical justice refuses to regard them
other than iniquitous. Yet certain
structural differences escape such close
scrutiny, notably that of the knee.
The structure of the knee feminine
constitutes in itself permanent dis
ability for many masculine pursuits.
Ihe knee joint in women is n sexual
characteristic, as DR. Ely Van de Wark-
er long ago pointed out Viewed in
front and extended, the joint in but
slight degree intercepts the gradual
taper into the leg Viewed in a semi
fixed position, the joint forms smooth,
ovate sphc roid The reason of this
lies in the snallncss of the patclla in
front and the narrowness of the aricu-
lar surfaces of tie tibia aid femur, and
which in man form the lateral promi-
nences, and this is much more perfect

ing between the trunk and extremities
than woman. The feminine foot,
comparatively speaking. is less able to
sustain weight than that of man, owing
to its shortness and the more delicate
structure of the tarsus and the metatar-
sus. Women are not well constructed
to stand many hours consccutively and
every day. 1t is safe to affirm that they
have instinctively avoided certain fields

grounds, in which the smaller quantity

leave something to be desired. Even
the right to vote would not confer on
womanlIind the right to be soldiers.
Equality, it appears, is quite as much
an affair of the knee rs of brains.

Another form of execution is that of

tongue is taken out, and so on. A third
