One of the greatest mysteries of life on thl earth la the phenomenon of suspended animation. An animal It may. be a man or a woman -appears to be dead.

This la not the State of sleep, la (which eonaclous riess alone la, mora or leas, arrested, while the bodily activities are aim ply slowed down. It la rather a mockery of death. r 1.

There are many different forms of sus pended animation, some resulting from accident, ilka drowning or freeslng, and some due to a regularly recurring process of nature. Ilka the hibernation, or winter sleep, of many animals. Some animals during hibernation ar smothered In close packed mud at the bottom of ponds.

Woman Against Woman Why the Sex Treats Its Sisters With Contumely Though It Loves Them at Heart. " By DOROTHY MX.

V.1 '-1 x f every woman's hand waa against . every other woman's, and she regarded every other woman who crossed her path with jealouay and suspicion. Now that woman has become self-eup-portlng, and marriage has become less alluring to her fancy than a career, she still cannot rid herself of this prejudice agatitft her own sex handed down to her In her very blood from her foremothers. It has become what Par win calls an ac quired hereditary tendency. We see thla distrust and dlallko of their own sex exhibited by women in a thou sand waya. No woman criminal would be willing to b tried by s Jury of other women. She knows that a woman Jury would understand, as no man Jury ran, the torturing Jealousy, the frantic fear of losing . what ahe loved, the desperate aense of her powerleasnesa to hold a man who was tired of her, that may at last have driven her to commit murder. But ahe alao knows the old sex-antagonism, that nine times out of ten, will make a woman take a man's part agaiwtt another woman, and condone a man's of fences at the expenae of a woman, and assume whatever he did that waa wrong he was beguiled inlo.dolng by the woman. Women do not like to work for other women, and from the forclady In the factory to the housekeeper, the woman who must manage other women -has a hard time of It Thta Is not because the woman employer la any more difficult to get along Willi, or any more of a slave driver than a man ta, but because women resent being bossed by ether women. They are accustomed to yielding obedi ence to men. They ara used to having men crltloix them, and to taking meekly men's reproofs, but when It comes to having a sister woman call them down, and hold them up to their work, they simply can't atand for It. , If a woman and a man go Into a res taurant where the serving la done by waitresses.

But the woman patron will be left to settle herself as best she can, and wait the pleasure of Borne haughty damsel to condescend to serve her, and when her food Is brought her It will be banged down on the table in any old way. The explanation of this used to be that men tipped and women didn't, but the woman who goes to restaurants nowadays no more withholds her gratuity than does the man, and so the explanation of this phenomenon goes back to woman's In herited habit of serving man, and feeling It an honor to minister to him. Shop girls do exactly the same way. When a man ventures Into a store tha clerks vie with each other for tho priv ilege of waiting on him, and show endless Patience in hunting up snythlng ho may wish, while they let women customers stand and wat. That la why many women drag their poor, protecting hus bands shopping with them. They know that husband will get an amount of at tention that nobedy but a millionairess. with a charge account, ever rw-a from a saleswoman. And. curiously enough, this woman-m,alnst-woman feeling finds lis most pronounced expression In the family where the mother never treats hep rfniirh- tera aa she does her sons.

Where both sons and daughters go out to work, the mother expects the girls to turn In their wages toward the family support, and she - accepts their earnings without gratitude; but if her sort con tributes anything to the family exchequer she can never sufficiently praise Ma gen erosity.

Luxuriant, glossy hair grows from a fat, loose scalp for the rea son that this cushion of flesh provides room for a plentiful amount of blood vee sels and oil glands. A tight scalp, that ta one that adheres to the skull.

When the scalp la very tight and slilny It is generally an Indica tion that the hair follcles are completely atrophied and that there Is little chance that the hair will ever again grow from them. Aa a rule women have fatter, scalpa than men. This la pointed out by some writers aa a sex difference and the ex planation as to why women have more luxuriant hair and are less prone to bald ness.
