In spite of what the scientists may

officials, with whom / conversed on

to a great extent, by the intensive

have any guard outside his room at

years by a whistling viper from

Prince sleeps. For some reason, the

miles away. never call at the palace

Husband Meets Other Woman.

Medea In the myth Of Jason and the
Golden Fleece represents the furthermost
ends 10 which the ancients believed a re-
vengeful woman would go. She is an in
teresring study for the alienist and expert
In psychopathy. She was the daughter
Of the King of Cochis. the state at which
Jason and his Argonauts stopped on their
quest for the Golden Fleece Jason in order
that he might align her powers of sorcery
upon his side in the conquest of the prize
wooed her. Although she sacrificed the
favor of her father by doing, she mar
ried the adeenturer and devoted her skill
In magic TO procuring the fleece for. him.
For ten years they resided in Colchis, and
two. sons were born TO them. She loved
Jason with peculiar ierceness which Is
typical Of the woman who makes huge
sacrifices for her mate But neither this
devotion nor the presence of the infant
sons obligated Jason in his own eyes when
he met another woman, Glauce by name,
whose attractions were newer, and there
fore more potent to him. Consequently he
eloped with her.

character spotless. She is merely an ex-
ample of how completely law-abiding,
well-balanced woman can become OBJ
sessed with desire for revenge when once
her hatred and feeling Of injury are stirred.
Many Instances Today.
Modern courts of law, ana particularly
various morals courts with which l am
familiar, daily demonstrate the persist
cnce with which women who fancy them
selves wronged will pursue the object Of
is reached. Men will forgive and forget
more readily. They begin a search for re-
venge with perhaps as much energy as a
woman. but gradually lose the bitterness
and determination as time wears on.
The explanation Of this Il that women
have differently constructed brain centers
and nervous systems. They are far more
emotional and feel all passions more In
tensely. Their feelings are more acute.
Their nerves are finer strung and more
subject to Impressions.
All the emotions such as hate. Jealousy
and revenge are developed with a sudden
ness Ia women that never fails to startle
and surprise men.

Must Suppress Hatred.

One of the most natural reasons for the
extreme duration of longing for revenge
in woman Is due to the fact that she can
not make physical manifestation of her
passion as can a man. She Is forced TO
suppress her hatred. It is psychologist
truth that nothing so satisfies hatred or
longing for revenge as does physical ex-
preston. Men fight and swear, and thus
"let off steam. as we say, and upoA the
conclusion of the combat are, In the great
majority of cases, satisfied. The mere ex-
change of blows appeases their mental
cravings. This Is not womans way. Her
only method of personal attack is to ex-
press her antipathy in sarcasm or biting
language" This never is final or definite
Mere argument concludes nothing, whereas
the use of force whether right or wrong)
has very powerful tendency to close the
matter.
Because of this handicap woman nurses
her grievance and permits it to feed upon
herself. She cherishes amnesty for years.
most probably to the end of her life Even
II she does attempt to secure satisfaction
In court the punishment which the law can
vent upon the object of her vengeance only
satisfies this obsession in part, for the &C.
tual punishment is administered by an
other agency. "
Many instances, however, do not reveal
even the lawsuit as an expression of re-
yenge MANY women are timid about act
ing upon their own resolutions and conse-
quently keep brooding.
In exceptional instances this mental
strain leads to insanity, the feeling Of In
adequacy and of intense bitterness. de-
stroying the proper perspective on life.
The masculine mind may grow chaotic
in the FIRST desire for revenge. and may
prompt wild actions, but 1t soon quiets.
Memory of a personal insult or affront
may live just as long In the mind OF man
as In that Of woman, but it occupies less
space aud returns to consciousness less
often.
The diagram on this page illustrates
the difference betweeD the thinking habits
and capabilities Of the two sexes Each
sex is forced to think primarily about
work. sleep and eating. Amusement comes
later. but In the average mind occupies
much attention. Mans brain, even when
thoughts of revenge enter. cannot afford to
drop any Of the cardinal qualities OF ex-

dealing with routine matters. The femi-
nine mind drops everyday affairs when 1t
Is obsessed by this idea. 1t is likely to
manifest itself In weeping and unremit-
ting depression, which. however, denotes
rather helplessness than a cessation of
purpose.
For centuries man has had too much to
occupy his mind to permit of a surrender
to emotion. His first duties have been the
procurance of the living for his family and
himself. Food must be gathered; GER
tain amount Of work must be done. Man
has had to put revenge and personal AMI
mostly into the back of his consciousness
because he has had no time to- sit down
and think about his individual grievances.
Aggravated Emotions.
Woman's consciousness of her weaker
physical nature and OF her greater beauty
has fattened and aggravated her emotional
character. She has learned that while she
cannot match man in strength she can con-
quer him with tears and the appeal OF
charming ,weakness. She learns to rely
upou her emotions as weapons. Conse-
ausntly she has them intensified.

disbursement of her beauty or charm.
