They declared "That the most

IN regard to this question they
have reaehsd the conclusion, The

In regard to the slips which have
occurred al several times they as
sert that they are @Of no serious
consequence either in the practical
execution Of the work or in the ulti-

height for the crest of the Gatur

some of her brunts. He regards her less bounti-
fully endowed physically than himself, which is
only partly true and needs qualifying. While
has little less avoirdupois and hasn't
coarse knotty muscles and hairy hands, she has
equally great vitality and endurance. AS one con-
ducive to her health and comfort (?) that would
put man to rout in short order. That she does not
shorten her days by her way of living is evidenced
by the fact that woman'S longevity exceeds mans.
