 MENTAL. PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE
 woman's strength is about two thirds that of man, while her height is as l6 to IT and her weight a nine to tel.
 Woman's lung capacity is in propor- ton 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 geniuscs 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 a 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.
 Womans head is carried less upright than mans. The greater length of the first finger as compared to the third Is feminine peculiarity. The vocal cords in woman are shorter and the voice higher and shriller.
 In respect to memory woman arc 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 Tuickuess. 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 50 men and 50 women were required to write leo 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.

Men
in Fitchburo.
THEY TAKE STAMPS.
Another Case of Miscon-
struction of the Law.

Fitchburg, Dec. I4.-Considerable
comment has arisen in this city over
the visit of Gen. T. D. Sewau, United
States revenue agent, and E A. Alex
ander of the internal revenue agents
office Of Boston, to this city last Mon
day morning, the details Of the visit
gaining publicity today for the first
time. The two men arrived here Mon
day morning and visited various insur-
ance offices in the city, and among them
the firm of Allison & Borley. AT this
place the offiser made a seizure and
this fact is not denied ny Henry Allison,
the senior partner who is also preSi-
dent Of the Safety Fund National
Bank
At this place pile of revenue stamps
on desk were seized and certain doc
uments, namely, some insurance pa
pers, were asked for. The officers
asked the clerk who vas in charge, if
documents to which they had once
been affixed and to refuse them upon
new papers.
Mr.. Allison was seen by a Soy re-
porter late this afternoon and gave
him a very pleasant interview. Among
other things, he admitted the visit of
the officers, but characterized the whole
affair as being ridiculous. He said that
the stamps that the officers took were
stamps that had been placed on some
policies ordered by a customer. whose
policies expired, and were ordered re-
neWed for three years. After the pol
icies had been written, stamped and
made ready for delivery, an order was
received to change the policies to a
term of one year instead OF three This
was accordingly done, and the stamps
that had been used on the other poll
cies were removed and used on the
new term policies. Mr. Allison said
that, as far as he was concerned the
transaction was perfectly legitimate in
every sense of the word. So long as
the government had received their pay
for the stamps, and the documents on
which they had been placed had not
been placed in any sense Of the word
into circulation, he said there was no
reason for the action that was taken
by the government officials He said:
The stamps that are used by the firm
are paid for by the companies for
which the policies are issued, In case
that policy that might be issued and
returned at once for a change, the
stamps would not be taken off and
used again. as the document would
have been in active operation.
Mr.. Allison said that the matter
would not rest where it was at the
present time md that if he was sum-
moned to appear before the revenue
officers, he should gladly go, as, if he
was in the wrong, it was' purely
through a misinterpretation of the APP
plication of the law.
Mr.. Borley, the junior partner, was
in Boston today, and could not be in
terviewed No luminous for d hear
ing had been served 10 to this evening.
