MAN AND WOMAN.
Tha TMfTerMice in the Quality of ths
Wood of Men.
Scientific observations are not yet
cnrrit'd fur pmnijjh to dotormlue all the
ossi iiiini difference, but they are suf
tie a nt to overthrow Mr. Herbert Spen
cer's Inferences that woman is "unde
veloped man," and anyone else's in
fereut'es that man la undeveloped wo
man. But while the science Is In the
present state, the acknowledged dif
ferences of the sex will be seized upon
toy one side as an argument for wo
man1 suffratre. and by the other as a
reason against it. Take for Instance,
metabolism. The difference In tha
quality of the blood of men and wo
men is fundamental and of vast Im
portance. Men have more red corpus--hs
n their blood than women. Tho
functional power of the blood is, how
ever, measured ny tne amount ot
haemoglobin, nnl women averaga
N per cent, less haemoglobin than men.
The specific gravity of the blood la
h Cher la men than In women. Nor
are these mortifying facts offset by
the discovery that the plasm In wo
men has a somewhat higher specific
gi-.ivity than in men. There Is a com
pensation In the observation that in old
w mien the speelilc gravity rises, and
tit r:se may be a factor In the great
er longevity of women, a direct bear
in if upon the result that once a voter
si. would be longer a voter. It is ad
mitted that women are more precocious
than men, and that their development
Is earlier arrested.
Continuing the same subject, we find
that the heart of the male animal
beats more slowly than that of the fe
nuie, depending greatly upon the ani
mal's size: The pulse rate of the ele
phant Is 12; of the horse. 42; of tha
dog, 75; of the mouse, 120. 'Women
have a more rapid pulne-beat than
m.n; after the age of seven their .beats
average about ten in the minute more
than men. Tills approach of the pulse
r-ite of the woman to the mouse has no
scientific connection with the fear of
woman for that harmless animai a
KU'i.;.-et which has not received the at
teiU'on It deserves. Like the matter of
re l):r.u!on. It may have something to
do with cloth'ns. The "vital capac
ity," as the breathing power Is called,
U decidedly less In women
than in men. Man's respir
ntion Is diaphragmatic; woman's
Is costal. Men produce more carbonic
ne'd than women, and ono result of
this d.fference Is that women have a
less .keen need of air; they have a bet
ter chance of surviving exposure to
charcoal fuuiee. From this we might
jur.io to the conclusion that women
are better adapted to bear the air of
a pol tlcal caucus. Rut this would
be a hasty generalization on an Insuf
ficient basis, for we do not yet know
what the normal woman Is. Recent
investigations of civilized women and
uncivilized that Is. to put it roughly,
those who wear and who do not wear
corsets is leading to a revision In re
gard to the difference of sexual breath
ing In normal conditions. The evi
dence goes to show that the sexual
differences In respiration are not na
tural, but are the results of the arti
ficial restrictions of dress usually worn,
by women. If this is so, the suffrage
movement will take on a wider sweep.
The object of the sex being vital cap
acity for public affairs, It will be ar
gued that the corset stands In the
way of the ballot. There are other
considerations quite as Important as
these, which cannot well be
handled except In a scientific physio
logical treatise. There Is the funda
mental difference in the voice and the
thyro'd sand. This does not affect the
mere act of voting by ballot, but It has
relations to other functions of public
life, civil or military. And this is not
so easily changed, even by a long pro
cess of selection, as the respiration.
The affectability of women and their
emotiona'lty will also have to be dis-
cussed. This makes women angels,
und makes them the other thing. It
may decrease in social evolution, but It
is physiologically fundamental, and
can never be reduced to the msle stan
dard, and perhaps it is 'not desirable
that !t should be. Charles Dudley
Warner In Harper's Magazine.
Not a Lover of Discipline.
The Chinese sailor is not a lover of
discipline. He prefers perfect free
dom, especially when the question of
leave is concerned. When Capr. Lang
had charge of the Chinese Navy he
discovered this weakness, and It gave
him a considerable amount of trouble.
He found ordinary methods of enforc
ing regularity utterly useless. OfHeeis
mid men alike showed a total indif
ference to his orders where leave of
nluscnet was concerned.
Following the example of the Em
peror of flermany, he determined on
a series of surprise visits, and on one
of these occasions he found that many
of the otilecrs and men were on shore
without have. IVtonninlng to enforce
dise'pllne nt any cost, he ordered all
th: delinquents to be placed under ar
rest when they returned. This was
too much for the eny-go!ng China
man. That night every man Jumped
overboard and went home, utterly dls-
Tusted with the service.
Dl.llke Their Prnteaeiona.
The almost universal disinclination
of parents to bKnc up their children
to the trades or professions they them
selves follow would suggest a large
number of workers In uncongenial
fields. You ask a dressmaker if her
daughter Is likely to take to that lino
of work, and nine times out of ten
she will answer: "I'd rather see her
dead than slaving away her life as I
do; no, tiu'am, he won't be a dress
maker if I can help It,"
And the theatrical peop'.e usually
say: "We keep the children away;
tfcpy seldom see a play. We don't
want them to take to ths stage. It'a
too hard a life."
The doctors seldom encourage their
fl"i:is towards pills and plasters. So it
jrues, nnd I wander if It's because what
you know seems hard and everything
i'lso seems easier because you don't

A QUESTION OF COLIARS.
Tha lJlotid Ynonsj Man Waa Not to H
ltrlrcn Into a Ilargaln.
A lily white blond young man enter
ed a well-known haberdasher's a ton
days ago to purchase some collars.
After examining the various styles,
from the low water mark to the twenty-eight
story flat, he selected two at
twenty cents each.
"They are three for fifty cents," said
the clerk.
"Well, give me two."
"Better take three for half a dollar,"
repeated the clerk. ,
"I only want two."
"Yes, but two cost forty cents, and
you get three for fifty one for a dime,
see?" said the clerk.
"Can't I buy two?" anxiously In
quired the blonde young man; "I onljj
want two."
"Of course, but you save ten cents
by taking three," responded the clerk.
"I'll just wrap up three for a halt
dollar."
"Look here; I know what I want.
You wrap up two collars."
"But, sir "
"I want two collars, and I have fort)
cents to pay for them, and "
"You lose a dime three for fifty,"'
Insisted the clerk, as he reluctantly
wrapped up the neckwear.
"I don't care a d ," howled the
blond young man, In a rage. "I know
what I want two collars, a beer and
a nickel to pay my street car far
home. See? Now, can I jet two col
lars for forty cents, or not?" and the
blonde young man foamed at tha
mouth In his righteous indignation.
He got the two collars. The clerl
swooned. He hadn't thought of tha
"beer and the street car."
II Oot a Mot On.
A Confederate soldier, after a bat
tle of Antietam, and when his regi
ment was on the retreat, threw his
musket on the ground, seated himself
by the roadside, and exclaimed with
much vehemence:
"I'll be dashed If I walk another
step! I'm broke down! I can't do It!"
And he sat there the picture of des
pair. "Git up, man!" exclaimed the cap
tain; don't you know the Yankees are
following us? They will get you
sure."
"Can't do it," he replied. "I'm dona
for. I'll not walk another step!"
The Confederates passed along over
the crest of a hill, and lost sight of
their poor, dejected comrade.
In a moment there was a fresh rat
tle of musketry and a renewed crash
of shells. Suddenly he appeared on
the crest of the hill moving along Ilka
a hurricane and followed by a cloud
of dust. As he dashed past his cap
tain, that officer yelled:
"Hello! thought you wasn't going; to
walk any more?"
"Thunder," replied the soldier. "Yon
don't call this walking, do you?"
War Relics.
The Jap m Jokara.
The Japanese are a very polite peo
ple, but they sometimes like to play,
a Jok3 In a roundabout Oriental war
upon the men In the West. In the day J
of the Second Empire Baron Gros waa
sent to Japan to demand the opening,
of certain ports to French commerce.
Among the rest he named to the Ja
panese Ministers a certain city. Tha
Japanese funclonarles smiled so
broadly when he preferred the request
that the French Ambassador asked
them to tell him what gave them so
much amusement, but Instead of an
swering the Japanese Ministers said:
"We will open the port in question,
my lord, if France in turn will open a
certain port to us."
"What port Is that?" asked tha
Frenchman.
"The port of Liverpool."
"But, you excellencies" laughing
"Liverpool is not a French port, but
an English one."
"Yes," answered the Japanese, "and
the port you named la not in Japan,
but in Corea,"
The French Ambassador was com
pelled to admit the joke was against
him. Tid-Bits.
