The requisite quality that makes for

We shall never nave justice for the
female sex as long as accepted natur'
alists and entOmOlOglsts are men. Here
we have the assertion. with reference
to the invading seventeen-year locusts,
that ut is the adult female that causes
the injury to trees" OF course; 1t Ia
always the female. Whatever misery
comes to the wOrld-the female did 1t.
II we know the temper Of the women
OF to-day. they will not rest under this
unjust discrimination, but will come
forward boldly In club and family cir
Gle to repel the miserable assault on
the lady locust. While we are not &C.
quainted with the conversation of To-
Gusts, we dare maintain with DR.. Julia
Low tina, there Is not female locust
of depraved and destructive habits
that cannot trace what Is bad In Its
nature to the influence OF an evil male,
while. on the other hand, there Is not
Il male locust that will not readily
testify to the eleyating influences OF
his mother and sisters. We are very
weary of these stupid scientific dis
ordinations and earnestly desire that
they will be refuted by the study
classes Of the women's clubs.
