Woman's SiSraso "Woman':: Brain. Si'it nl A merit. r . The pre -nt very active and enlight ening agitation over the question o woman's suffrage calh up again the man- now established facts about the physiological differences in the ner vous .-yfeni of the sexes. Not very long ago, Sir James Crichton Drown delivered a series of lectures in which lie aimed to show, from actual data, that the brains of women were not on ly relatively smaller, but essentially different in structural arrangement and functional characteristics from those of men. He in particular showed that the vertebral arteries in women are larger in proportion to the carotids than they are in men, and that the eerelel lum and posterior parts of the brain were therefore more nourished proportionately. The brain of woman is four per cent smaller than that of man after deducting the factors of height and weight (Debierre), and wo man's brain, as sron as it reaches its apogee, immediately begins to decline in weight, so that sen' le atrophy is man ifested sooner than in man. There is no doubt, we lelieve, in the minds of physiologists, that the mental characteristics of women have a struct ural basis in the conformation and amount of her nervous tissues, and that no amount of training will make the male and female brain alike. Of course, all this does not in the least prove that woman's mind is not ajwlapted to the demands of suffrage, or of political, jury, and militia duty. It only shows that the result of confer ring suffrage cannot be positively pre dicted cither one way or the other, sdnce it would be injecting into our political system an entirely new fac tor. V.'e udmire the eloquence and are af fected by the enthusiasm of the agita tors for and against suffrage. But we have little faith in those who assure us that it would surely be a blessing or a curse if women went to the polls and sat in the jury box. It is an experi ment which may or may not turn out Aviseh". Jltd. Jlrcard. specimen cases. S. II.

A big crowd of villagers recently viewed the movements of an enor mous bird that hovered over a field in the vicinity of Landisville, Lancaster county, Pa. A flock of sheep were grazing in the field. From a height of several hundred feet the bird would swiftly descend to near the earth, and after circling in long sweeps again mount on high. John Mussel man, one of the crowd, went for his gun. Then lie watched for a chance to shoot. Suddenly the big bin! darted downward, seized a good sized lamb in its talons, and be gan to fly off with it, the lamb mean while uttering plaintive bleats. Musselman fired when the feathered robler wa two hundred feet away. The bird fell dead. It was an enor mous bald eagle, measuring 7 feet 2 inches from tip to tip. The lamb, still in its clutch, was also dead when found. o A Household Treasure. 1). Y. Fuller, of Canajoharie, X.
