Tho More Useful Sex.

Some interesting biological and socio-
logical facts have lately been pub.
lished about women which are calcu-
lated to exalt the ostensibly weaker
sex in its own eyes and ALSO in those
OF men. We have previously pointed
out the conclusion reached by certain
scientists that the average life OF
woman should. and under normal c!r-
cumstances would. exceed slightly the
average life of man in respect Of dura-
ton. Now cores an English biolo-
gist, Mr.. T. II Montgomery, who.
after a general review Of the data pre-
senred by the anatomy and evolution OF
various inverteorate and vertebrate
animals. maintains that the male is
less developed and more embryonic
than the female. So far as the Inver-
tebrates and the lower vertebrates are
concerned, To-, female is clearly super
ior. When. within this field Of obser-
yatiOn. one sex is found to be rudi-
mentary in comparison with the other,
it is pointed out that this is almost
always the male. In size, the female
is usually the superior. Sometimes
the central nervous system is more
highly specialized in the female, while.
as q rule, the internal reproductive ap-
paratus is more complex. In those
cases where the male seems, at the
first glance, superior, the difference
turns oft to be mainly in unimportant
morphological characters. Many
species of insects seem to get on alto
gether without males for at least 4
generation. The minated queen bee,
for instance. will lay fertile eggs.
which, however, produce only drones.
1t is well known that the working bee
is tie product OF union between a
drone and a queen bee. From the fe-
male aphis plant-louse) on rose-bush
will proceed several generations OF
offspring before the Intervention OF
male is required. 1t appears. then,
that On certain planes Of organic eX-
istence there is no question OF woman's
rights: Nature herself has assigned
to the male role altogether secondary
or casual .-Harper's Weekly.

THE VALUE or EDUCATION.
An Appreciation OF What KnowiedEs
Really Means 10 Us.

An Appreciation OF What KnowiodEo
Really Means 10 Us.
The value Of IN education is appre-
ciated not only by the man who In his
youth was given its high privileges.
but by the man who by force of cir
cumstances was denied early educa-
tional advantages. Men Of experiences
in any line Of business will advise
their young friends to grasp every OPP
portunity for educational training Of
fered in early life. The educated man
well knows what his early training has
done TO: him, and the uneducated
knows that men who were denied tie,
privilege Of an early education are ire
quently in the course Of life,s exper-
fences forced to face serious embarN
easements and obstacles.
Willmott said that education is the
apprenticeship of life" Franklip said:
III man empties his purse into his
head 70 man can take it away from
him. An investment in knowledge al
ways pays the best Interest," Ruskin
said that education, briefly, Is leading
the human mind and soul to what Is
right and best and to make what Is
best out of them, and these two OBJ
jects are always obtainable together
and by the same means. The training
which makes men happiest in them
selves also makes them Anost service
able to Others" Claiming said: sHe:
is to be educated, not because he Is TO
make shoes. nails or pins, bsAhecausa
lie is man."
Education is never finished. and no
one knows this better than the really
educated and cultured man, adds
writer in Maxwel's Talisman. One
may be the graduate Of the highest
educational institution in the Land, but
still he finds that there is more to
learn" The storehouse Of knowledge
is never depleted, and there is none so
rich or so poor that he may not draw
something therefrom. Those who were
denied the advantages. Of an early edt-
cation may in the course Of later life,
by devoting only few hours every
week to study at home, acquire an edu-
cation along special or general lines.
Books are now within the reach Of all
and every home, however humble, may
have library. The "home study" win
make home life more attractive to both
young and old. II we make Five 70
learn" our life motto, we shall always
find life worth living.

woman's Superiority.

Professor Chamberlain. of Clark Uni

have whole lot more ability than
men. Following is his little list: AS
IN actor she has greater ability and
more frequently shows ii. She is. no.
ticeably better in adaptabi!ity. She IS
much more charitable-in money mat
terS. Under reasonable opportunities
she is more gifted at diplomacy. She
has greater genius in politics. She
more commonly has executive ability.
Her hearing is more acute. Her i'm
agination is greater. Her intuitions
are greater. Her memory is better.
Her patience is greater. Her percep-
tions are more rapid. She has greater
religious devotion. Her instinct for
sacrifice is greater. She bears pain
more heroically. Her sympathy is
greater. She has greater tact. She
has more acute taste. She has greater
vitality. She has more fiuency in the
