MENTAL, PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE

Woman's strength Is about two
thirds that of man, while her height In
as 16 to II and her weight as nine to ten.
Woman's lung capacity is in proper
tion to her size much less than mans
Thepulse beat is from eight to ten faster
than in man.
Woman are more alike than men and
more normal. Most geniuses are of the
male sex. Woman Is naturally con-
servative, while man explores new
fields.
In perception woman Is decidedly
quicker than man. She grasps writ
ten paragraph In much less time than
does he. Her perception of details
however, is less accurate than Is mans.
Among all civilized races woman Is
both shorter and lighter than man.
Her form is more rounded and graceful,
less bony and angular, having relative
ly less fat and more muscle.
Woman's head is carried less upright
than mans. The greater length of the
first finger as compared to the third Is
n feminine popularity. The vocal cords
in woman are shorter and the voice
higher and shriller.
In respect to memory woman are
superior. In slow, logical reasoning
they are deficient. The arts, science
and philosophy owe their advancement
more to men than to women. What
woman loses In profundity she gains in
quicl5ness. In languages she is more
apt than man.
Differences in habits of thought be-
tween the two sexes is shown by the
fact that If so men and so women were
required to write 100 words as rapidly
as possible without time for thought, In
the woman's list will be found more
words relating to the concrete than the
abstract, the whole rather than the
part, the particular rather than the
general.

SWEETHEARTS ALWAYS.

If sweethearts were sweethearts always.
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half as pleasant
In the mingled draught of life.
But the sweetheart has smiles and bluslief
When the wife has frowns and sighs,
And the wifes have a wrathful glitter
For the glow of the sweetheart's eyes.
II lovers were lovers always,
The same to sweetheart and wife,
Who would change for future of Eden
The joys of this checkered life?
But husbands grow grave and silent.
And care on the anxious brow
Oft replaces the sunshine that perished
With the words of the marriage vow.
Happy is he whose sweetheart
Is wife and sweetheart still,
Whose voice, as of old, can charm him;
Whose kiss, as of old. can thrill;
Who has plucked the rose to find ever
Its beauty and fragrance increase,
AS flush of passion is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace.
Who sees In the step lightness
Who finds in the form grace;
Who reads an unaltered brightness
In the witchery of the face,
Undimmed and unchanged. All, happy
Is he crowned with such life!
Who drinks the wife pledging the sweet
heart,
And toasts in the sweetheart the wife!

HE WILL NOT RESIGN
Vote of Censure Not Likely To
Disturb Ambassador Bayard.
GENERAL OPINION OF HIS FRIENDS
Democrats Who Consider His Uttcrancea
lily Chosen, But Not of Sufficient
Gravity To Call Forth Ac-
tion by the House.

Washington, Feb. A mong Ambas'
sador Bayard's friends in this city the
report from London that the ambassa'
dor had intimated his intention Of re-
signing should the resolutions of cen,
sure be adopted by the house Is ridi'
culed. Said one prominent democrat
and man In close touch with the ad,
ministration, 'the story is simply alb,
surd. Mr.. Bayard knows full well
that tho whole matter is party at,
tack" While many democrats believe
that Mr.. Bayard's utterances were lily
chosen, and, in fact, 1t is understood
that the president is of the same opin'
ion, yet the whole matter is considered
too trivial for any action on the part OF
the house. There are few democrats,
however, who, knowing Mr.. Bayard's
extreme sensitiveness to criticism, be,
lieve that it would be just like him to
resign. Although the report Of the
committee will not be taken up till
next week, its nature has been accu'
rately foreshadowed in these dispatches,
The resolutions call Mr.. Bayard by
name and assert that his course has
been censurable. They, moreover, lay
down some general propositions on the
duty Of ambassadors concerning their
relation to the domestic and political
affairs of the country they represent. 1t
is asserted that the resolutions, despite
the rumored resignation, will pass by
nearly full party vote, and had they
been drawn little more mildly would
have received some democratic sup
port
Sympathy for Bayard Abroad.
LONDON, Feb I'm it's comments on
the subject, the Morning Post to-day dis
plays sympathy with Mr.. Bayard. 1t
contends that according to the view of
the republican majority the business of
an ambassador in Europe is to declare
that the American people are the high
est product of civilization, and to dare
anybody else to dispute this opinion at
their peril. 1t adds that the affair is
apparently another illustration of the
humors of presidential election. The
Standard says that there is painful
want of dignity in the manner in which
Mr.. Bayard's official critics display
their resentment. The resolution, the
dispatches to the embassy and the curt
ness with which Mr.. Bayard is taken to
task, exhibit the harsher side of public
life in America in an unpleasing light
The paper expresses sympathy with
the ambassador and says it hopes that
if he retires America will share the re-
gret that this country will feel.

GRAVEL CURED

In the fall of 1889 he began to suffer
indescribable miseries from stone in the
bladder. Consulting an eminent physi-
clan in Philadelphia, he was told that a
surgical operation was necessary. So
much did he dread the result, for IL un-
successful it meant death, that he put
off the evil day as long as possible. While
in this frame of mind he heard OF

He feared Pnyerty.

New York, Feb. 4. 4.-Although he had
succeeded in dispelling from the minds
of his family the idea that he had had
business reverses recently, there is now
no doubt that the act of ex-Police Com
missioner Stephen b. French in COM
mitting suicide yesterday was caused
by his knowledge of the fact that he
was practically ruined financially and
by his fear of passing his remaining
days in poverty and dependent upon
his relatives and friends. He was very
well known as politician in this city
and state.

LIVE QUESTIONS
FREELAND TRIBUNE.
I'm THE

Commencing with Monday,
February 10, 1896, and continu-
ing through the year, the TRI-
BUNE proposes to publish a
series of able articles upon
subjects of vital and general
interest to our readers. Emf
nent thinkers and writer's of
national reputation on Social,
Economic and Industrial Prob
lens have promised contribu-
tions upon topics of universal
interest. The list of authors,
and the comprehensive group
of "Live Questions" that will
be treated by them, can be
seen on this page, and will, we
confidently believe, merit the
hearty interest of readers who
are already interested in these
themes, and are anxious to
receive the most rational opin-
ions obtainable.
All articles will be prepared
in an inquiring and scientific
spirit, and will be non-sectional
and non-partisan. Vigor and
simplicity of statement will be
aimed at, and all phases of re-
form thought will be fairly and
impartially presented. Upon
subjects about which there is a
variety of candid opinions, all
sides will receive an equal op-
portunity to be heard, that the
truth may, if possible, be ar
rived at.
This is the first cooperative
attempt upon the part of able
writers to thoroughly discuss
all the interesting phases of
social and industrial life for
the masses who would be the
beneficiaries of substantial re-
forms, and the arrangements
made by the TRIBUNE give US
the sole privilege of publishing
the articles in this town. They
can be read in no other Free
land paper, and those of our
readers who are not subscribers
should have their names placed
on the list without delay.
