1t will be seen at a glance that the diff
ference is very marked. 1t is the pecu-
liarity of these differentiations that are
more than interesting. You will notice
that the hand fieXors in men have just
twice the strength of the arm flexors,
while in women the hand fexors are near
ly three times as strong as those of the
arm.
1t is only in some few muscles, how
ever, that woman is, comparatively,
stronger than man. Altogether man is
two and a half times stronger than
woman. The reason for the greater weak
ness in certain muscles in woman is very
manifest. Women engage less in the la
boriouS employments which call into play
all the muscles of the body.
That woman is stronger in the legs is
due, no doubt, to their being of necessity
more used than any of the other muscles.
The legs of women being shorter than
in men accounts in part for the greater
strength of the thigh fexors.
The same rule will hold good for the
thigh abductors and adductors, which are
relatively the strongest muscles possessed
by women, the muscles that are relatively
weakest in woman being in the arm.
Perhaps the most interesting point to
be traced out of the table given is that the
strength of the average woman, in COM
parison with her weight, is less than two
thirds that of the average man, and the
strength of the average woman in com
parison with her height is only four-sev-
enths that of the average man.
The total strength of the average wom-
an, as compared with the total strength
of the average man, is SO.
The same as to weight is sc.
The same as to height is 90
1t is interesting to note that the
strength of each division of the BODY is
more than sufficient TO lift the entire
body. Even the smallest total found
that for the chest in woman-is able 70
life one and one-quarter times the weight
of the body.
Thus the inferiority of woman to man
only in mere matter of muscles and
strength, remember-has been conclusive
ly shown. And so long as she remains
this frail, dependent creature. man will
rejoice to take t<r to his bosom to be the
dear partner of his joys and superior
strength.-Pearson's Magazine
