able quality Of any sort which is not

side from that chosen by men and
choose Sunday instead of Monday as

case OF the other senses. Women have
better memories, read more rapidly,
bear pain better. recover better from
wounds and serious illness, are less
changed by old age and live longer.
Furthermore, according to the same
authority, women have relatively
larger brains, especially in the frontal
region. 1t has long been said that
women are the more like children, but

self Is but the process Of making the
world ladylike. In fact, the only thing
left in which man is superior is mus
Gle. Men are two three and even four
times stronger than women, and the
occasional exceptional woman hardly
reaches the level Of the average man.
Even between the ages of eleven and
fifteen, when girls are taller and
heavier, boys still retain their single
advantage in strength. Men, too, if
slower of mind and quicker Of body,
have greater lung capacity and more
blood corpuscles and exhale nearly
twice as much carbon dioxide. But
men are less able to endure confine-
ment and bad air. This physical SUI
;periority man shares with the males

Few Wild Creatures Can Compete

Those familiar with the FABLES Of

which reynard bears among the rest
Of the animals. 1t Is questionable
whether any wild creature can COM.

look at him generally, even in his or
dinary habits, he exhibits an amount
OF cleVerness which astonishes one.
Should a fox catch a hedgehog, whose
3spines effectually protect him from
most Of his enemies, he does not waste
time, as q fox terrier will do, in en-
sdeavoring to worry his prey. He mere
~ rolls him to the nearest water,
knowing that drop or two will cause
the animal to relax his hold.

animals gorge themselves when they

the proyerb says, ''put all his eggs in

FLOUR I'm CHINA.

ivory chopstick into small brown bis

The biscuit was warm, crisp, rich; 1t

biscuit, in word, Of peculiar excel
lence.
This biscuit, sir, is made of -four of
lentils, said the Chinaman. "You
know lentils? Little green pellets
slightly fattened like split peas. Len
ills are considered the most nutritious
of all the foods Of the earth. This one
lentil biscuit, sir, is equal in nourish-

Then he lifted great lid and re-

other with a yellow one, a third with a
brown one, fourth with white, a
fifth with a pale green, a. sixth with a

mast AFRICAN Natives. Have q Legend
That Tells the Story.
Among the Nasal, native tribe in
German East Africa, is found the fol-
lowing story of the creation, which, &C.
cording to DR.. Emil Reich, they could
not have got from missionaries. DR..
Reich thinks that the Christian, Nasal
and-Baby lonian accounts had q COM
mon origin in Arabia: In the begin
ming the earth was a waste and bar
rem wilderness in which there dwelt a
dragon alone Then God came down
from heaven, fought with the dragon
and yanqnished it. From the dragons
blood, which was water, the barren
rock wilderness was made fertile, and
the spot where the struggle between
God and the dragon took place became
paradise. Thereafter God created all;
things sun, moon, stars, plants and
beasts and finally two human beings
The man was sent down from heaven
and was called N1aitumbe, and the. wo-
man, Naitergorob, sprang from the
bosom Of the earth.
God led them into paradise, where
they lived an untroubled existence. OF

Gods permission; Of one tree alone
/ they 1nig:s.. not taste. often God came
down TO see them, when he climbed
down q ladder from heaven. But one
day he was unable for q long time to
find them, but finally discovered them
crOuching among the bushes. On being
asked the meaning OF his conduct Mai
Tumble replied that they were ashamed

Desnite the tremendous prestige

Despite the tremendous prestige and influence of the name of the president behind him, Secretary Taft may not succeed in defeating Sem ator Foraker for the presidential delegates from Ohio in the great fight that has been precipitated be- tween the two. That is the opinion of a majority of the Washington cor respondents of Ohio newspapers. They are trained in the politics of their state, familiar with men and affairs there, and probably the best judges of the situation to be found any where. All of them recognize that the struggle will be a titanic one. never exceeded in excitement in the history of the state. Cautiously enough, a large number of the best posted correspondents of Ohio papers think that there will eventually be a compromise. Those who do not agree that Senator Foraker will clean up the feid with Secretary Taft, think that the compromise will be effected on the basis of Taft getting the presidential delegates and For aker being promised a return to the senate. This element of the corre- spondents say that Foraker is one o. the gamest fighters in the state. Backed by the political organization, and aided by Senator Dick-a man of great popularity-Foraker. even if not securing the delegates from the state to the next national convention. would be in position to do Taft tre- mendous harm in the next presiden- twial election if not appessed. It is believed this appeasement would take the harm of endorsing Foraker for return to the senate.

Speaking of the efforts now being made in some southern states to bar out foreigners, one writer says that Alabama and Kentucky, together about the size of Italy, and support ing only about four millions of in habitants. possess rich soil and great natural resources. Greatness is possible for them, but it will not come while ignorant prejudice bars out a sturdy and virtuous class of im- migrants whose record as race is white and famous. The grandest architecture the world can boast, the noblest paintings, the most profuse Ornamentation in gold and silver and gems are to be found in the most magnificent palaces and cathedrals which stud that beauteous land of Italy, and all this wealth has been wrung from Il poor soil beneath which lay neither silver nor gold nor gem nor a single pound of coal! In spite of the defeat last named, man. ufacturing. particularly of silk. is making great headway in Italy at present. The water power of the many streams rushing from the Apennines to the sea is being har- messed by the quick-witted Italian, and the product of the silk looms holds its own even against France. the home of that industry for cen turies.

TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1907.

Railroad magnates of the south west, when prospecting for new line, no longer calculate the tonnage based on present population, or strive to connect q string of towns together which will contribute to their busi- ness, says a magazine writer. They consider, instead, how many miles of agricultural land, lying on either side of proposed line, may be assumed as contributing tonnage ill grain. cot ton, cattle, and merchandise. Based on 100-acre land units and the prece- dents of previous growth, they are able to calculate quite accurately the farming population which will arrive in a given period, and the agricultural population, ill turn. assures the sup port for given number of towns along the line.
