The woman's brain Is always less
than the mans. From Boyd's figures
we can pick out 102 men and 113 wom-
en- between GA inches and &c inches
high. averaging close on Go inches, for
each group. But the brains of the men
average 400 ounces. while those of the
women are only 41.9 ounces, which
gives the men an advantage of II per
cent. There are 81 small men whose
height averages 90 inches, and there
are 1875 women of the same height The
brains of the men weigh 45.G ounces,
those of the women only 42.9 ounces

One day | trod upon a heart
Set heel upon it where it lay.
Ny shoe was purple. and my art
Could wash the stain away.
1t shed a perfume like rose
Crushed between breasts Of lovers pale,
Or like the bruised wistaria does
Beneath a summer hail
/ washed my shoe within a brook
And dried it on the FURNISHED grass;
The water laughed up at my look.
But the bent sky was brass
] passed again along the way
When the rich. fallow evening swooned.
saw the same heart where it lay.
1t never showed a wound
But as | walked my nostrils filled
Full OF that rose scent overtair.
Like a fine Persian altar spilled
Far faint on the heavy air.
/ flung away the purple shoe
And naked footed took the sod
But every footprint, well knew,
smelt guilty to God.
