# IN q paper read before the recent An
tlhrop biological congress at Cassel Pro-
|sfessor Walreyer, Of Berlin, very dis
|tinguished anatomist, attempted to
prove scientifically. that women are the
weaker sex, and his arguments have
already aroused an immense amount OF
anita ant tagonism among the women Of Ber-
lin and Vienna. The learned anatomist
went on to discuss the general points
OF difference between the two sexes, di-
viding them into primary and second
airy, after which he set himself to show
that the human male has much more
developed muscular and bone system
than the female, and has more serious
claims to be regarded as a powerful
machine., Among differences Of greater
or lesser Importance, he noticed the
TACT that the index finger in the female
OFTEN 11een extends beyond the middle finger,
tnat her teeth formation is very differ
ent from that of the male, as is also the
s:.lll. He laid special stress on the
dlHerence in the weight OF the brain
and the development of particular parts
OF that organ in the two sexes, differ

appears that there is a difference in
the thickness" and it is not by any
lheans 10 the advantage of the female.
AS matter of scientific fact, indeed,
according to the professor. one cubic
cent1meter of blood taken from a man
contains an average of 5000 red blood,
corpuscles, whereas the same quantity
IN woman has no more than 1880.
And these red blood cells are absolutely
indispensable to the processes of ami
NAL life, the very quintessence, so to
say, OF existence. This, according to
the learned professor, is one of the
most characteristic of the differences
between the male and the female, and
the one which recurs with the greatest
regularity. The practical conclusion to
De Drawn from it, concludes the Ger
man anatomist, cannot be too strongly
recommended to the attention of the
women and the men who are now at
the head of the movement, the object
OF which is to widen woman's sphere by
extending it to occupations and pro-
LESSONS now confined to men. They
should, he added, be extremely careful
not to overstep the limits clearly laid
down by nature herself in the physical
organization of the female.

Bishop Willmar of Alabama is no,

he is we'll represented by his anecdotes,
which are related by churchmen much

the bishops friends lost a dearly be-

these words to be inscribed on her
tombstone: "The light of mine eyes

RUNNING A FAST TRAIN.
Engineers While in the Cab Always
Keep an Eve Ahead.

,- Keep an Eye Ahead.
The locomotive engineer is remark
ably placid fellow, with habit of de-
liberate precision in his looks and mo-
lions. He occasionally turns a calm
eye to his guage and then resumes his
quiet watch ahead. The three levers
which he has to manipulate are under
his hand for instant use, and when they
are used it is quietly and in order, as
an organist pulls out his stops. The
noise in the cab makes conversation
difficult, but not as bad as that heard
in the car when passing another train,
with or without the windows open, and
in looking out of the engine cab the OBJ
jects are approached gradually, not
rushed past as when one looks laterally
out of parlor car window. The fact
is that the engineer does not look at the
side-he is looking ahead land there
fore the speed seems less, as the objects
are approached gradually. Those who
have ridden at ninety miles an hour
on a .locomotive know that on a good
road land there are many such) the en-
CINE is not shaken and swayed in a ter
rife manner, but is rather comfortable,
and the speed is not SO apparent as
when one is riding in a parlor car,
where only lateral view is had. The
engineer can be very comfortable if he
is quite sure of the track ahead, and
it is only in rounding curves or in APP
preaching crossings that he feels ner-
yous, and it is doubtful If it ts any more
strain to run a locomotive at high speed
than to ride a bicycle through crowded
thoroug hfares. Jnd gings by the coun-
tenances of the bicycle rider and the
engineer, the engineer has rather the
better Of It.

Engraving Diamonds.

Diamonds can now be engraved in a
very artistic manner. a fine specimen
of this development Of the diamond
cutting art is a large circular stone on
which a pansy with its foliage is en-
graved. Another example is a ring

deliberately engraved. It is but3a few
years since; it was first possible to
pierce holes in diamonds. This feat

The Russian workman spends very
little for food, dying and dress. as
compared with the foreign artisan.
Coming from the village, he is very
modest in his demands. His food is
very simple, but it is abundant and

example, the board of a workman
amounts to not more than ten shillings
