A literary lady at a society dinner
was given a seat next to a noted
scientist whose views were very ma

made on the origin of mankind, the

above Copper river about 400 feet,

WOMEN ARE QUICK THINKERS
Man Is Superior In Judgment and
VIII, Says British Sci
enlist

New York.-The boast Of New York
women that they think more quickly,
have keener powers of perception and
more delicate and alert senses than
the average New York man, has at
last been explained. 1t fa due to high
heels and the richer flow Of blood in
the arteries that supply certain part
Of women's brains.
Therefore, when in an exchange Of
badinage or epfthets, your wife gets
the better Of the argument, console
yourself with the thought that she Ia
equipped for 1t by Nature, but has to
endure high heels TO aid the effect.

EIeusinian Mysteries.

The Eleusinian Mysteries are sup
posed to have been instituted by Cad
mus of Athens, about B. C. 1850. The
famous festival was In honor Of De-
meter (Ceres). The Mysteries were
of secret nature, and If any one RS
vealed them he was put to death.
They were introduced into Rome from
Elensis, where they were abolished by
Theodosius after having lasted for
more than 1900 years. The best ac-
count of the connection between the
Eleusinian Cult and Christianity will
be found in work by DR. Edwin
Hatch, entitled 1.-THE Influence of
Greek Thought and Usages Upon the
Christian Church"
