Man and Woman

The mental difference between man
and woman has been set forth In a little
pamphlet by Asaph Lewis. 6 he says of
woman:
"Her mind la higher, more refined. ThU
la where the principle of selection show
most bv endowing the weaker rjart
Ver with that physical grace and reflne
ent of organisation and her mental
Iculttes are correspondingly refined.
"Man, as we see every day, delights
S"Jf competition, and this leads to ambV
ylf Uon, which passes too readily into sel
Yfav fishness. Woman, who has never entered
W UTWin th, f tnl I ha, vwifr A-
eloped this selfish spirit. X woman is
more prone to sympathy; she Is more
human than man.
Man cannot understand woman the
elumsy Inability of a coarser nature te
appreciate the feelings of the finer. The
mental hide of a man through the dif
ferent stages of evolution has been hard
ened, and he oarriea into his home those
qualities of Insensibility, self -assertion
A f led to success In the struggle for exist-
w ana. This la tha ria use of so muf mfc.
happy homes today. Man, who U natur
ally coarse, cannot understand woman,
who la naturally refined,
1 have obtained sufficient proof of this
from the many homes X have had to
visit. The more ignorant the man the
more brutal is his treatment of his wife:
the more educated the less brutal he is
to his wife. The mental difference la
easily noticed between the sexes."
It has been the observation of this writer
that men are really more modest and
often more humane than'' women. We
pe only to look in the ballrooms, pub
la and private. In theaters and opera
houses, to see how immodest good, cul
tured, respectable women can be In their
dress.
Husbands, fathers and brothers of these
women suffer mortification of the spirit
In seeelng how their dear ones unneoes
saiily display their bodies to the pubito
gaxe.
Woman should be educated and woman
should have the franchise and woman
should have a voice in the government In
which she lies. But not because she Is
superior to man or more refined or more
humane, but because she is a thinking,
tolling human being like himself, and It
is her right to be his comrade and co
worker In all things. V
Mrs. Lewis, in a personal letter, writes:
"When I was writing my little booklet
I thought of Adelina Patti. Mtory Mr-s
den. Marie CorelU. Mrs. pfc.tr.ck Oomp
bell and many others, and what education
has done for women.- Before woman was
allowed to be educated she had only her
physical attractions, and when that was
destroyed by the hand of time she was
helpless.
"But now woman Is so advanced that
the one who depends upon her physical I
attraction to carry her through is but
the mere shadow woman. What woman,
I ask you, today will stick little bits of
i court piaster on ner iaco w u .
I M V ner beautyf What kind of a man Is he
71 ,r who admires such foolishness? Is It pos
sible that we can say such women are
educated? Is that the kind of education
ey receive at college?
y "Women depend now upon their men
talities. Toaay a woman now uim nor
Intellectual attraction Is the only attrac
tion worthy the notice of a real man."
Again the writer of this article roust
disagree with Mrs. Lewis. Much as X
approve of education, culture, equal fran
chise and socUl Industrial equality of the
sexes, the eternal , feminine appeals
strongly to me, even when It exhibits
Itself In the coquetry of a bit of court
plaster on the cheek or Chin. The woman
who Ignores an the pretty little arts , of
beauty-making and who cares only to be
clean and neat and never, alluring has
crossed ever the line from real femininity
to the masculine border line.
Tt la necessary always for a woman to
remember the importance of being beauti
ful, not only morally and mentally, but
physically. Just as It Is Important for a
man to be strong, mentally, morally and
physically, to be the complete man.
The woman who cultivates beauty , in
her personality has much greater power
in the world than the one who relies
wholly upon her intellect. It is Impossible
to change the idea of men on these sub
jects. The woman who undertakes to hold a
man's regard by simply being his mental
amuvlnte. Iraorlnr all the arts and frlvol-
. Itteg of dress and the care of her eom-
V jrAon, her hair and her figure, is more
than likely to find nerseir superseded De
fore middle age In the mind of the man
of her choice by some other woman,
mentally her Inferior, but possessing
physical charms.
Mrs. Lewis needs to study both sexes
a little more closely before she ex
presses herself too emphatically on this
subject.
A
The turn of the wheel has brought chil
dren's fashions back to the quaint frocks
worn msny years ago. The up-to-date
child now looks tike a llvtncr picture from
an old daguerreotype. Ruffles, plaids and
flounces are covering bare knees; scal
lops snd fur trimmed little Jackets are
giving a touch of qualntness to the cos
tume for the youngster.
A few designs taken from the Christ
mas number of Harper's Bazar give an
Idea of the daintiness and distinction
which have come Into vogue. There Is
first a dark brown velveteen Jacket with
brown silk braiding, bordered snd but
' toned with beaver. It Is reminiscent of
hollyhocks and old lavender. It should
be worn with a plaid skirt trimmed with
velvet.
A coachman's hat of black and a coat
of tan are the pride of the little girl who
walks In the park to give the great bull
dog an airing.
Like a Uttle doll Is the courtesylng
figure In ruffles of Victor n plaid and
white taffeta, scalloped en the edge and
bound with black velvet. The tiny plan
tight waist Is edged with a taffeta ruifle
which encircles the neck.
The little lady with the wlde-brlmmed
hat looks like the very p'cture of dignified
fashion, Navy velvet Is suggested for
this frock, the bottom of the sk.rt. the
I sleeves and the neck to bo edged with
white fur. Oey trimming of red, white
and gold hangs from each shoulder like
a stole, the ends creeping under a wide
black belt. Pockets of the same ma
terial are topped with white fur. '
For the baby, white velours Is gathered
full around the nock to form a raglan
coat trimmed with a broad band of
white fur at the bottom. Collar and cuffs
are of the same fur. His sister wears a
gray broadcloth coat with collar and
cuffs of white book mus'.ln edged with
seal. It la worn with a fetching pilgrim's
hat of black beaver with a sliver buckle
In front and a gray band to take away
some of the severity.

One of the most difficult things that
we girls ever have to do is to draw the
line between prudery and prudence. We
don't want to be little prlKgy, prunea-and-prlsma
girls, In a constant state of
being shocked at nothing. Neither do we
want to be the sort of girl whom noth
ing shocks. . -
a nit it Isn't easy to strike the roiaen
mean between these two extremes, where
a girl can be friendly with a man with
out his trying to get familiar wun ner.
Of course every girl likes to have lota
of beaux, and to be popular with men.
She wants to be one of the lucky ones

and supper, and who always has plenty
of partners at' a dance.
And only too orten tne gin wno naa
ho mod thlnas la one of the free-and-
easy-sort who drinks and smokes with
men. and laughs when they tell question
able stories, and whose lips are free to
any man who wants to kiss her.
This makes young girls think that it
they want to be admired they must be
a bit giddy and sporty, and, above ell.
t,t tfcav mustn't "keen a man at arm's
length." as my grandmother used to say.
Why, I have even heard gin say wai
unless you let a man kiss you when he
brought you home from a party It was
truly "good niht" for him, for . he'd
never see you any more.
Poor little dears I

Men are terribly unjust In this respect.
A man will use every argument and per
suasion to Induce a young girl to drink
cocktails until she gets silly, and have a'
contempt for her for doing It. He will
spend da' s pleading with her to kiss
him, and be suspicious of , her if she
does.
No girl can tell by what a man says
tn her what he's really thlnkln. and
many a man who tempts a girl is praying
In his heart that shs wt I have the

The Bible says that one of the mys

Immediate Triumph in
Wireless Telephony
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
As a beginning of ' fulfilment of pro
phecy nothing could be more stsrtllrul
than the wireless conversations held the
other day between Arlington, near Wash
ington, and Mare Island, near Ban Fran
cisco, when tho "winged words' flew
clear across the continent, through the
crisp autumn air,' over rivers, lakes,
prairies and mountains, . a tremendous
leap of two miles, a good tenth of the
circumference of the earth. The prophet
who predicted this seventeen years ago
was Prof. Ayrton. an Englishman, and
his words are remarkable.
'We are coming." said he, "within
thinking distance of a time when if a
person wants to call a freind he knows
not where, he wUl call in a loud electro
magnetic voice, heard by him who has
the electro-magnetic ear, silent to him
who has It not. 'Whsre are your he
will ask. A small reply will come, 'I am
at the bottom of a coal mine,' or 'Cros
sing the Andes.' or 'in the middle of the
Pacific,' or", perhaps. In spite of all the
calling, no reply will come, and the man
wUl know that his friend Is dead."
The recent experiments were a strict
fulfilment of the first psrt of this pro
phecy. The man with the "electro-roag-netlo
voice" was on the Atlanfle shore
of America, the man with the "electro-magnetlo-
ear" was on the Pacific shore.
The former spoke and the latter beard
him, but not possessing, yet. the elee-tro-magnetio
voice, would only repond
by telegraph. When the system is per
fected, and both voice and esr are In
possession of each person. Prof. Ayrton's
prophetic dream will ' be completely
realised.
It there had been someone with, the
magla ear on the rlghest summit if the
Rocky mountains he might have heard
the words transmitted across the con
tinent. If he had been in the midst of
a prairie, or at the bottom of a canyon,
or deep in a mine he might have heard
them, They would have passed over the
sea as easily as ovsr the land, so that
a ship's captain, or a passenger in the
middle of the Atlantic, sailing through
sunshine or storm, might also have heard
them.
The prophecy speaks of a man calling
to a friend of whose location on the
globe he la Ignorant That emphasises
the peculiar differences between ordinary
and wireless telephony (the sains dif
ference existing between ordinary and
wireless telegraphy). When you use a
common telephone your voice is trans
mitted by means of a fixed eUctrle wire
to a definite place. But when you speak
with the free, "elect ro-magnetio voice"
It is heard on all, sides, wherever cor
responding "electro-magnetic ears" sxtst.
It spreads round ' the earth, as the
sound of a ' dinner- horn reaches ths
laborers la the fields over the entire area
of a farm. But Just as the housewife In
blowing the horn turns east and west and
north and south, so that the sound waves
may be sent clearly In each direction, so
the electro-magnetic waves are capable
of a certain amount of guldanoe, and
may be concentrated, more or less, in a
chosen direction.
And, as special conditions of ths at
mosphere, and Intervening obstacles on
the ground, interfere with the convey
ance of sound waves, so the electro
magnetic waves are affected by speclst
conditions of the medium through which
they pass.
A very Interesting Illustration of the
difference between the directed messages
of the ordinary telephone and the. free
messages of wireless telephony, together
with the transmlssihtllty of the one Into
the other, was furnished during the
Washington experiments, when the vqlces
of persons In New Tork sent to the
Arlington station by ordinary long dis
tance telephone were automatically
passed ever to the free waves which sped
them across the continent!
The man of science Is no Mother Ship-
ton. He makes no random prophesies,
but undertakes to foretell only . . things
which appear to him to be Inevitable
consequences of already established facts.
Yet, in view of what has now been ac
complished. It would seem not at all a
raeh prediction to aver that, before many
years have passed, it will be virtually
Impossible for anybody to be lost, any
where on earth. In the manner in which
explorers have been lost In past times.
A man caught by stress of weather at
the north pole, or drifting off on an
arctic ice-floe. If only he has the electro
magnetic voice, may call for help, and
his call will be heard and answered. But.
In truth, that Is no more than Prof.
Ayrton's remarkable soientlfk) prophesy
has already pointed out. ,
most improving and to coin a word
happlfylng effect upon the coming gen
eration of women.
Even if their training In the use of
weapons went no farther than to show
them how to hold the business end of a
gun away from themselves and have the
courage to pull the trigger and hear it go
off without shutting their eyes and
shrieking, It would be quite sufficient for
all ordinary purposes of protection
against burglars or tramps.
An Interesting illustration was fur
nished Just few weeks ago In the re
sult of an attack by a burglar upon a
house containing three well-to-do maiden
ladles and one servant.
One of the ladies had been trained in
the manual of arms, and hearing a sus
picious noise In the night caught up her
trusty shotgun (which is far the best
weapon for a woman, because you hardly
can possibly point it toward yourself)

are the main sources of danger, could

To her horror, she almost collided with
a burglar at the foot of the stairs. With
out stopping to take aim; and almost as
an Instinctive reflex from the shock, she
pulled the trigger and banged the whole
charge of buckshot Just over the man's
head and through the glass door of the
hall. Half stunned by the nowdor btast
he fell upon his knees with yells for
mercy.
.Realising that she controlled the sit
uation, she pointed the musxle of the gun
toward him, threatening to blow his
brains out If he didn't keep still, and be
gan to scream for help.
In the meantime the two sister up
stairs had begun to scream? and the
neighbors, aroused by the shot, were bat
tering on the door and begging to be let
in. But as neither one of the four parties
the burglar, the lady with the gun, the
sisters upstair and the rescue party-
could hear the others for the noise they
were making themselves, the situation
was . complex and prolonged.
When the rescuers broke their way In
through a window (at Imminent risk of
getting a load of buckshot In their heads)
the burglar fairly fell upon their necks
in welcome and relief.
He said that to 11a there and watch the
mutate of that there shotgun wabhllng '
round all over him and never knowing
when the lady was going to cut loose
without meaning to, was the most awful
experience of his career of crime.
If one lone woman In every house hsd

and every burglar knew that there was
such a deadly combination on the prem

would soon have to go out of business,
as well as half our police force.
How Sanatogen Relieves
Poor Digestion and
Nerve Strain -
DIGESTION and the nervoui
system are interdependent. For
while the products of digestion
nourish the nerve cells, the nerves in
turn control digestion
Thus if aught wrongly effects either the
nerves or the digestive organs ths other also
must suffer.
When, for Instance, worry, overwork or shock
Interferes with digestion, the resultsnt lack of
nouriahtnsnt w saltans the nervous system,
causing nsrvs-etrein. This nerve weakness
then reacts snd still farther disturbs the faulty
digestion.
At such times Sanatogen is specifically help
ful first, because it is so sssily assimUaisd by
even an enfeebled digestion, and, second,
because Sanatogsn'i chemical onion of purest
protein and organic phosphorus furnishes pre- '
cissly ths two elements most needed to restore .
not only the weaksnsd digestion but the im
