"And do (hoj ninku honoy by nHim in

EngllHliinati, eagerly catching at what
seemed n tangible fact.

that wboro nulckiieHs and skill aro tho
qualities required a woman i just iih
likely to succeed iih a man, although
whoro weight and brawny inusclomoes
sentlul slio does not claim equality.
What is true of (ho body is tiuoof tho
mind in most cases; in fact, our friends,
tho thcosophistHiiml psychists, claim that
(ho body Is only tho outward and visi
ble sign of tho spirit within, and that
what a man is ho ho is bound to look, if
not nt the start surely at tho Mulsh. I
don't say this is true, for 1 havo not
inado up my mind about it, but it Is a
theory much In voguo just now.
I was saying very much tho sanio thing
tho other day (o a man, who replied:
"Yes, women often play well at bil
liards, but they win tho ganio by a ho
riea of tho most dm lug flukes mid impos
slblo hazards plays that no man would
uver venture upon and would bo howled
at if bo did."
"lint you say thoy win (ho ganio," ie
niarked 1, and ho grumpily responded:
"Yes, they win, but they've no right
to, and it's just tho same In fencing.
They dart under and over your gunul
and uso n foil mort) as if it uoio listing
than u recognized weaium."
"But if It were n wal combat they
would bo llkoly to kill (heir opponent Y
"Yes, tho poor fellow would bo spitted
while ho was trying to make out what
his fair enemy was doing."
"Capital! That is just tho parable 1
want (o support my theory. You men
can't or won't allow that a woman has
reasoning powers, but her tongue is like
hor rnpler sho may not use it according
to tho rules laid down by men, but while
hor opimnent Is wondering what IiIh fair
enoiny is doing he finds himself stabled
to tho heart."
"To tho heart, yes, but not generally
to tho brain," responded my friend, and
I assured him that his retort was quite
fomlnlno iu its patnoss and conclusive
ness. But it is not only in argument that
women show this hide of their complex
nature, but in achieving whatever end
they bet before themselves. They aro
not that Is, women, as r. rule, aro not
consciously scheming and cunning; they
do not say, "Tho best way to win this
success is to nppcnr iudillerent and to
seem bent uixm Boniuthing else," but
thoy all unconsciously act out that plan
and so achiovo their end they scarcolj
know how.
I havo a friend who possesses a great
many pictures nnd other ornamental
Kerns of furnishing a room. Sho is, like
uinny Anioricnns, very peripatetic in her
disposition, and nearly every year sees
her iu a new set of apartments. I late
ly visited hor in her latest homo and
noticed that very few of tho pictures
wero hung, nnd that tho bronzes, china,
statuettes, shrines, brackots, draperies
iu fact, all tho objects of "bigotry nnd
virtuo" xvero piled upon tubles in tho
back o rawing room, evidently awaiting
their fate.
"You havo been horo almost a week
nud not arranged your pretty things
yet!" exclaimed I, i.nd she with a little
sigh replied:
"No! Tho inspiration hasn't como yet.
Until it dooa I haven't tho faintest idea
of where any of those things belong, and

"Hut when tho light moment conn,"
suggested I, with n laugh, "ou will bo

"Hvietly," loplled my friend gi lively.

"Well, 1 shall come at any into, lor

"Yes, jou may coino, but the maid
will piobably toll jou tlmt I am in bid
with neuralgia. Then cmno light in to
my bedroom, mid wo will have a eo
cup of tea nil to ourselves."
Hut when tho leceptiou day came
round ami 1 pieseuted mvxelf with an
expectant Hiuilo just iiudii' tho mil fun
the maid simply usheied mo into the
drawing room, whole stood my hostess
iu the midst of hot dimming suriound
itigs, eveiy ouoof which had found the
very place of all others wheio it lookid
the best and tho most at home. Some
body was saying to her as 1 approached:
"I am sure, Mth. , that jou select
your apartments to tit your pictures
mid ornaments. You saw, for instance,
when you looked at this room that jour
Hoiigiieieau never could find another
such light, mid (hat Venetian mirror and
that pier weioinmlo for each other."
"An etei mil Illness for each other,

ing to mo with a twinkle of tlie oje as
sho nun inured:
"Tho inspiration never caino lint il.ioon

: o'clock. Not bad, is itV"
""eifect, my dear, but your demon Is
a very iinidiablo official."
"Wouldn't do for a business man,
would heV"
"Nor for a mini of any sort," thorght
I to mjself as I moved away, and pics
ently in my lonely diivo I fell Into my
favorite tit of musing iikii tho dilfereut
characteiisticHof man and woman mid
of the dlfticulty each basin comprehend
ing (lio other fully.
Probably of all tho problems that puz
zle the masculine student of woman the
most utteily insoluble is this matter of
intuition. It is far easier for a woman
to uiideistaud tho formal and laborious
methods of a man's mind than for him
lo grasp (he Idea of an iuluitivo process
which cannot bo formulated even by its '
owner. A man of intellectual nut mo
and regular education bases his eveij
aigiimeiit, his every conviction, upon
mathematical truths. Ho is fond of saj
ing, "It is as certain as that two and two
make four," and that to him is a pot feet-1
ly unassailable) standpoint, lie jHsrceives
that to the woman with whom he argues
the fact that two and two make four is
not of the slightest imiKirtauco. She
says, for instance, (hat a perfect army
of street roughs thieateued her, and it
was hours hcfoio sho could get through
them. The man corrects her with:
"Tlicro wore but four of tho roughs,
and it was not live minutes before you
f were out of their reach and quite safe."
"Only four indeed! More likely III"
cries the woman, with scorn mid indig
nation. "1 assure you thcioworo only four
two on one side of the door mid two on
the other, and two and two make four,
don't theyV"
"Not alwajs, by any menus," retorts
madmne, with all tho coinage of her
convictions. "Not in this cie-e, for in
stance. Two and two uiado a gieat deal
more than lour for me, I assure j'on."
Ami she is actually more correct than
the man is. Four sheet riitllausiiitlamed
with tho lavvicps spiut of the mob and
attempting to hustle and annoy a lady
simply because sho Is well diessed and
looks scornfully at them become in her
eyes and to her consciousness a great
many more than two and two thoy In
come a crowd, a mob, a phalanx, a ter
rifying and pel haps dead I j foico. Sho is
quite right iu saying that in thiswise two
mid two did not make four, but li,
and that the peiiod of time during
which she felt hoi self lu their iiovvor was
to her without bounds or limit, but a
chaos of endurance answering to many
hours of ordinary life. If the clock said
It was but live minutes, why, all tho
worse for tho clock, and it must have
been a male clock, although they aro
generally called "she."
Hut you can't make a man see this.
You, for instance you are leading it.
Tell mo, men't you saving to yourself:
"Sho means that to tho frightened wo
man, the mob memed huge and the time
seemtd long, but in point of fact two
men ami two men are only four men,
mid tlve minutes aro but live minutes."
Therol That is exactly the difference
between a man's mind and a woman's.
The man is fast bound, "tied anil fettered
in the chain," not "of his sins" perhaps,
but of his mechanical makeup. Hosini-
ply cttnnot take iu the idea that an event
is not what actually and literally hap
pens, but it is to each person the results
it produces upon that person's mentalitj
A volcanic eruption, for iiistauco, or
an earthquake is to the scientist a ior
fectly regular and coinprehensiblo pho
nomenon of nature tho combination
and explosion of certain gases and the
liquefying and projection of certain min
eral subterranean dejioslts. Ho guts out
of tho way of the rivers of lava just as
ho would get out of the way of a loco
motive, but lie is no more terrified by tho
ono than the other. It Is simply a phe
nomenon of nature, like a snowstorm or
a high tide.
But to a savage who had never seen or
heard of such a thing this volcanic ci op
tion is tho malignant or tyrannical act
of some mighty spirit, some nil powerful
demon who is threatening to destroy
mankind unless ho Is propitiated. Ho
accordingly propitiates him either by
throwing his eldest sou into one of (ho
piping chasms or by vowing (o do some
ireniendousactot heroism, or perchance,
If fio is n very, very good savage, by re
sult lug not to Hog his wifo any more.
Iu any case tho eruption makes a big
change iu this savage's career. It is to
him a matter of life and death. Its re
sults last perhaps after the man is dead.
Now, the scientist's estimate of this
phenomenon mid tho savages estlinnto
of the very sainooveiit are both true, ier
feclly (ruo to the Individual forming
the estimate. Neither one could possibly
view the occurrence from the stand
point of the other; ueithoroiiucould per
haps even put himself iu tho other's
place enough to see just what it was tho
othor believed. Hach is to the other a
poor deluded fool, mid the savagu de
spises and marvels at tho philosopher
just iih much iih the philosopher at him.
Now, who shall say that either is abso
lutely right, to the stultification of the
other, any more than a mirror is a false
minor because it shows von a different
imago from what it shows mo?
Ami so by this rather roundabout
course we come back to the different
workings of the man's mid the woman's
mind. Kach m rives at a solution of tho
piobleni, whatever it may bo, by a mute
utterly unfamiliar, oven impossible, to
the steps of tho other. Perhaps the sola
tiou is the same lu essence, although
somewhat dlfferendy expiessed; per
haps, on tho other hand, the results are
widely different; but iu either case I con
tend that both me right mid neither
wrong, and most women will be re.ulv
to agree with mo. Most men, on the
other hand, will disagree and exclaim
contemptuously:
"How lidiculousl How exactly like a
woman's aigumeut! Of course a tiling
Is either right or it's wrong. How can
twoopposinir views both bo correct? If
two ami two make four on one occasion,
thoy do on even occasion. It's all non
sense, utter nonsense."
So speaks the lonl of creation and con-
siders the matter settled, ami so it is tor lego, and although the library iu ln
him, but the lady of creation has an equal railroad ofllee contains II ol those inter

occasions when they make infinitely

If some leader of the masculine per
suasion asks mo, How do you know this
rather startling truth, ami how do you
prove It? I icply, with that grand sim
plicity characteristic of great minds and
great truths:
I know it by intuition, mid I prove it
by looking iu upon my own convictions,
which tell me it is a truth.
If yotiis don't toll you so.lt is not a

i ily of plajets. Mr. Booth spent fit) j ears
iu collecting the pictuies that embellish
his scrapliook. Its value is incalculable.
It is bound in Russia leather, and text
nud illustrations me laid on rough pi hit
paper. Ten pages are not illummatid.
Tho cuttings on thoso pages lelato to
lldwin Booth's first tour thtough tho
south 15 j ears after tlio war ended. No
plnjer ever made such a tiiuinphnnt
tour in
in this country. Two pages of cut-
I tings tell how tho hotel in Nashville wns
bo besieged, insido mid out, by admir
ing women that Mr. Booth did not daie
to leave his apartments and had to be
smuggled in and out of tho hostolry to
i each tho theater and return.
