New Orleans has novelty III
booms. 1t appears that the great de-
mand of that city is for babies. and
to supply requirements has
been had to other localities where the
birthrate is larger. A a load OF In
fants from New York was shipped to
New Orleans recently and disposed OF
in a jiffy. In fact, there were not one
quarter enough babies to fill the or
ders. Another installment has been
engaged, and it would that any
baby looking for a happy home need
go no farther than the Crescent city
to find such an outfit.

The Man and the Woman

AS far back as we can trace the history OF
mankind, the sexes have been marked by the
same mental and physical differences that
separate them now. Ages have come and
gone, without evolving the slightest variation
from the original types.
Man is built on lines of Strength: woman
with reference to Grace and Beauty.
The prominent structural features of the
man are his large head, thick neck, broad
shoulders, strong arms and hands, deep chest
powerful thighs, broad feet, big teeth and
strong, SOnOrOus voice.
In the normal woman, the whole physique
is built with reference to the womb, and the
nurture of its fruit. The hips are broad, the
breasts are full: in the one region, the child
is carried until it's birth; in the other, is its
food during its helpless babyhood
The typical head of the woman isSsmaller
than that of the man; is covered by longer,
finer hair; is supported by the graceful curv-
ing neck which swells into the voluptuous
bosom. Tapering to the waistline, the form
expands, again, around the uterus; and then
tapers to the little feet which, in the normal
woman, are ever smaller and weaker than
those of the normal man-as her hands are
These being the actual, undeniable facts,
who can escape the logical conclusion that
Nature intended that these differently CON-
structed beings should perform different
functions?
IF they were meant to do the same things,
why should they not have been created along
the same lines?
A man can receive the hardest blows
where? On his chest. Strike woman there,
and you will kill her.
A man can hurl weapons with marvellous
force and precision. Did you ever see a girl
who could throw a rock like boy? You
never did.
A man bounds on horse, and rides it as
though he were a part of it: but even the
woman who rides astride is never at home in
the saddle.
Pitch something toward a man, telling
him to catch it, and his open palms instinct
iaezy ewtend themselves. Do the same thing
to woman, and she will grab her apron, or
spread her limbs to catch 1t IN her lap.
To all normal men, comes the beard: to
normal women, it never comes To all nor
NAL men comes the instinct of mastery: in
all normal women is the readiness to yield,
to the riqht man.
Throughout animated Nature, there IS 06-
sozutezy no exception to the hi9ogShip Of the
male.

There was never primitive tribe or pa
triarchal family that did not conform to the
law of Nature, in assigning different spheres
of action to the different sexes. The man

originated agriculture, manufactures and
commerce. 1t was the man who set up gov

Occupied with the performance of her sex
duty and the keeping of the home, what time
did wives have to act as lawmakers, magis-
