If Mr. Allen cannot throw oioiogn-ul liiit oa these points, who can? "Mrtiiufactu rinir is a hum in function.' s tvs Mr. 1 Allen, "women do not manufacture, therefore woiueu aie not humni. lint how about the time when women ;e the only nianuf ictuiers in the world? Women were theu the huma i part. And were men then merely creatures "tolled. off"! (the oftener . one sees this phray-e the more one admires it) to per form Mime other work? Is it po-sibie that Mr. Allen does not know tnat wo mn were tlie rirst manufacturers of our race? In the old davs when men were all savages ant I war was tiie bus iness of the.r bves, when man fought! niaii, trilie tribe, coUntrv couutrv, wo men pursued the peaceful :ms, spia uiug, weaving, tilling the soil w hen ever their predatory spouses permitted them to rent in long euongu in one place to-sow and reap.

The fox constructs his hole, the hog her lied, the mole digs her u.idergrotind roadway, the ant builds cities, roads andfortifieations; birds build their nests. It is said that in times of gre.it drought, the prairie dog digs deep wells to get water and construct stepjj by which to descend or ascend easily, but no animal, insect or bird ever cooked its dinner. As far back its history goes the function of cooking has falleu on jtr oinan.'

In Mr. Allen's next biological treatise of tins sul ject he Mionld not forget to bring forward the function of modesty to Mist iin his position of the sujerior humanity of men over women. Some time ago 4IerUirt Sjiencer wrote a series of articles on the Uirler eiit biae which distort nien's judg ueii:; the theological, the political, the class bias, were scientifically: analyzed.

The long and unbroken rule which men have held m er women has created a bias nior pot. ut for distortion than any Spencr vrote of the b.as of sex. This bias has bw?n h onied down from father to son Until it has become thoroughly Migraine 1 in the verv atoms oE mm s being, although every step toward civ liizition weakens this biai; still, even in i his dav, now and then it starts up with all its ancient power to distor". Tne teach n.s of Christ gave the fir.-t blow to tais ternicioui bias. For nLtuy yars after Christ, within Christian h irehes, women were on eq nhty wiih men. Women might preach ami perform religious rires eq tally with men; bits w.i sank out of sight. When the male priests gained a little temporal power the old spirit of domi nance sprung up in their breasts, and they legaii to hold church councils and is.su- canon laws to suppress w inen. Women were forb.d leu to preach, enter th altar, to administer the sacrament, to p rfrin baptismal rites. We have reason t i believe christian women did not so quickly submit. During several centuries church councils agin and again issued Cinon laws to silence wo ne . i rMchers. Daring all the.e centuries the m ile priests gave an the reason why women siiould not preach the old story that Eve's iiioled.eiice had brought sin in the worl l; that but for fve earth would be a ptradise, that Eve's female descendants are unworthy to preach the religion of Christ bec iuse female descendants are more prone to have de dings with the devil thin male. M'U . .1- i ne c.i triie ot bves disooed.ence in he nutter of the anole isra noticeable instance f sex-bias, and its distortion of the case (if we take the Bible acco mt :i f;lct.l 1 simiv " tb it. Aibini suit 1 nut ;ts) Eve was the guilty party. The com - m and not to eit tne apple was given to Adam liefore Eve's creation; there is no evidence in the B.ble on which any jury in America could convict Eve of tne sin of disobedience, for there is no evidence that the Creator ever for bade Eve to eat the apple. Should any theologian iussert that Adam told - a mires it ll the year ataniM, yet gives Eve of God's omin and, we reply there j his business support to fome ot tier, con is no positive proof -of this. Any cem whose business he jdetests, is not worn in acq lainted with the , natur u foroetf niness of men will be slow to believe Adam thought to mention the matter to his wife; yet for 2,000 years Eve ha- borne the 'stigma ; of that charge, and eloq lent preachers of this day repeat it. Not it.ng ago Mr. Tal- m age preached a sermon oa l!ve, ami declared that she w.o the cause of all the sin and sorrow on thin earth, de clared .. obe was responsible for every battle ever fomrht. every Quarrel, every erim eomm.ttfMl on earth. tjei-;iUus 2 a. m - d.storts Mr. Taltn tae's iud 'meiit ab most as much as it did those old bish ops who held a . council 'in the sixth centry in Macon, France, to discus and determine whether women have soul 4 or not This conned was com posed of forty-three bishops with sees and forty-six blshnps. w.tb.ut sees and rifteen envoy.

In their efforts to reduce Christian women to subjection the oh priests so persistently decried and depreciated all womanhood they poisoned th uiinds of the laity against them; it wai the warfare which brotnrht .ulxHit celibac of the pri. 8 hood. The first Christian priests were permitted to marry. St. Uhrvsostom summed up the 'priest I estimate of womanhood in a few terse lines. "Woman," s id this worthy saint. ,4js a necessary evil, a natural tempt. tion, a desirable calamity, a domestic eril and a deadly fascination.' St. Jer .me taught tint it was hardly jjOA-ible tor a married priest to euter heaven; if, by the skin of his teeth he managed to get in, he could never take that high pi ace reserved for the uumai ried. St: Jerome said that marriage was chiefly valuable because they furnish the rate with house builders, students of biology thrown in. If Mr. Alb h is not himself a lineal descend ant t f St. Jerome, it will not be denied that his ide. s of - woman" hate come d wu in a -straight line from that good old stint. These priestly teachings in t me bore the bitterest irui ; sex ani mosity grew so intense, it culminated in the most awful persecution of wo men the minds even of devils could conceive oi; a persecution which did iot cease until, as historians estimate, 9.UVl,0M) innocent women had been tor. 1 1 red to death by tire and fagoij In one day, oi.e hour, in the pn Ida q ntre of a Christian city n France. 4u0 Christian women, guilty of no crime whatever, were burned to death at the stake. The charges against tin jvomeii were thaV..thry,w had dealings vit h the devil. A traveler through Scotland c.tsmllv relates that in one i t.. i a-ty s journey ne saw nine women burning at the stake. Tno Hands ot Christian women were burned to death on the charge of being married to the devil. Every one of these false and foolish charges were based on theVton that Eve brought sin into the world. Every one of these KK),000 murders ol iiihocent women were eaiiM'd by the s one sex-'iias and distortion of judg ment which has com 4ovn through tne centuries and fallen so lilieralli on the miiid of Mr. Grant Allen. Only a short while ago in u Sunday school, the lesson of the creation w..s taught. : A bay of twelve took it in greediiy,;ai:d next day lieiug require . b. the public schtxd teacher to write a compo liion, he selected "Woman" as his these and wrote as follows: "tfy womtn wa Eden lost and man curst.

In Professor Goodale's ;Text B.Kik" it is noteil that in the tropics some plants twine indifferently from right to I -ft. A piper in a recent issue of the "Proceedings of the Academy-of Nat ural Sciences of Philadelphia," shows th it this indifferent twisting occurs in some parts of the plants in this and all other parts of flowers. It is the reason why flowers are oue-ided, or second as this character is technically called. The flower and the spike twist alter nately in oppose directions. This law'-i". essential toflowersfiom branch es ttjiilinir on the around. If all twisted in one direction, some flower would twist into the ground instead of all leing erex:t."JA teciTiid spike is a case where a flower branch, ouce prob ably horizontal, has acquired an erect habit.
