H AS WOM AN MOHR BRAINS j
THAN MAX?
No. as a rule it is the other way :
as the average mail's brain is larger
and between 1 oat. and <i o*. heavier
than the average woman's brain the
weight of the adult male being front
P* or to AO o . Tisis is partially
accounted for by the fact that the
do rag woman herself is smaller
than the average man. both in sine
ami weight.
But after allowing for a woman's
smaller si*e and weight, the man's
brain is still the heavier of the two
by a least 1 o.. It dot's not neeessar
ih follow, however, that a woman's
o'.iin |i« - is inferior to that of a
in. What she lacks in one way is
fully made up in another. Although
- u.v - u : a rn'i display so strong
a rc.i--.ming and. critical faculty as
man. sh , \ct s him in quick prece|v
ti.iii and intuition. Nature having
endowed women with different
physiological functions to man. her
brain power in like manner, but in
ot-rsons of sound mind aud body, in
both sexes, the brains in one way and
another, arc very nearly on a par
iu point of power.
The more frequent exercise of cer
tain faculties by men have hitherto,
r doubt, enlarg'd and increased
d o;,r brain power its those respects,
ar.d it is possible that with similar
; xervise of s.icb powers by women as
ray naturally be expected from the
re revising athletic, educated, and
r-vress-like capacities of the women
of the rising geueration, the women
if the future may be as tail and have
i brain equal in >ije and weight to
that of a man. But the main objection
to this enlargement of the brain in
the gentle sex ts the established fact
that while in such a case woman
may gain intellectually she will
lose iu beamy and grace and sym
metry of form. To support this theory
we have only to go to India, to the
people dwelling on a range of hills
between the Brahmapuvtra and the
lower valleys, where the women, are
supreme. They do the wooing, and
control the affaivs of the nation, and
[property descends through the
woman, and cot the instrumentality'
* *
of inferior man. They are dominant
'but at the same time they are the
uggliest women on the face of the
earth.

. A GOOD MOVE.
The liquor dealers of Skagway have
organised an association which they
hope may l»e made a branch of a
general organization to W known as
the“Alaska Retail Liquor Dealers' !
Association." The avowed purpose;
of this initial movement is to
make it the nucleus of an organ
iaztion through which the retail .
dealers of the entire district can act
harmoniously on all questions affec- j
ting their interests, tln> primary 1
object being to restrict the sale of
wet goods to strictly legal channels.
To accomplish this the fair inference
is that the saloon men purpose to
co-operate with the authorities iu
preventing the sale of liquors by any
and all persons other than those who
comply with the law by taking out
licenses and thus paying for the
privilege. Thus they projmse to.
assist in the enforcement of the law
rather than seek to evade any one of
its provisions. What steps, if any,
they may deem it wise or expedient
to take in any effort to secure a modi
tieation of the law itself in the way of
a just equalization of its burdens,
does not appear, but it is doubtful if
they themselves will he able to agree
upon any net on looking to the accom
plishment of that end. However, the
>teps taken by the Skagway dealers
is in the right direction, evidencing
as it does a desire on their part for an
enforcement of the law as it now
stands, and betokening no thought or
intent to violate or evade any of its
provisions,
SIMPLIFIED SPELLING.
The simplified spelling of three
hundred words of the English lan
guage. suggested by the Simplified
Spelling ”.oard. is by no means so
drastic as the furore it caused would
lead one to suppose. The Board, in
support of the suggested changes,
urges that as English is easier to
learn than any other language, and
must ultimately be the world lan
guage. the more simplified its
orthography the better, especially in
those instances where there are more
ways than one of spelling a word.
The English language is as much a
puzzle to foreigners as their language
is to us: for the singular and plural
of a word may differ so much that it
would puzzle anybody. For instance
watch the following:
Well begin with a box. and the
plural is boxes;
But the plural of ox should be oxer,
not oxes.
Then, one fowl is a goose, and two are
called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never
be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a whole
nest of mice.
But the plural of house is houses,
not hice.
If the plural of man is called men.
Why should'nt the plural of pan be
called pen?
The cow in the plural may be cows
or kine,
But the bow, repeated, is never
called bine.
And the plural of vow is vows, never
vine:
If I speak of a foot and you show me
two feet.
And I give you two boot* would the
pair he called beet?
If one is a tooth and the whole set
are teeth.
Why shouldn't the plural of both
he called beeth?
If the singular's this and the plural
is these.
Should the plural of kiss he ever call
ed keese?
The one would be that and two would
be those.
Yet hat in the plural is never called
hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, and not
cose.
We speak of a brother and also say
brethren.
But though we say mother, we never
say methren,
Then the masculine pronouns are he,
his and him.
But imagine the feminine she. shes
and shim.
So to get ali this straight is quite
far from a joke
For the English language is the
queerest that's spoke.
