II suppose it is heresy and disloy-
atty to my sex, and any other hard
names you choose to call it, but men
are mentally superior to women. I've
always believed 1t, but now know it."
Just here the speaker paused for
breath and her bearer meekly inquired
the reason for this fervent outburst Of
enthusiasm for her fellOw-creatures OF
the opposite sex.
What ! like about men," resumed
the Defender Of the Strong, lis their
definiteness. They want to do some
thing and they do it. They want to
get somewhere. and they get there,
and this brings me to the caWse Of
this declaration of my mental inferior
ity. Last Tuesday had occasion to
respond to an important business let

unknown quantity. After l had enlist

of the elevated road. was finally de-
posted at the foot of Franklin Square
station. Then began an .aimless
search. The appearance of the few men
who were not on trucks WAS not OF q
nature to invite inquiries.
FINALLY, spied one, however, who
seemed as if he were toleEably well
acquainted with the peculiar virtues
OF soap, and l made my Way to him.

simply drew out guide to the streets
OF New York. and said: Ferry street

runs to Pearl. You are now two blocks
from Pearl. Walk directly west and
you'll come ito it. Follow THAT and
you'll reach Ferry street
Now, mind you. he was a stranger
there, too, but he had known what to
buy SO as to get about with q mini
mum OF trouble. What woman would
have thought of buying a guide to the
streets and having it with her when
she needed it?

Why Girls Can't Throw Stones.

A London physician, having made .
long and careful scientific investiga.
ton of girls inability to throw a
stone as a boy does, says that 1t is
due to the physical conformation OF
her shoulder. A boy throws with a
free movement of the arm that is not
possible with a girl. because her collar.
bone is larger and sets lower than the
boys. The girl may excel In sports
where this action is not required. but
she can never lean to throw like a
bow
