By Nixola Greeley-Smith. “The chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is shown by man attaining to a ligher eminence in whatever he takes up | than woman can attain. If two lists were made of the most eminent men and women in poetry, painting, sculp- ture, music, comprising composition and performance, history, ecience and philosophy, with half a dosen names under each subject, the two Mats would not bear comparison.” This is not & quotation from Prof. Frederic Starr of Chicago, the latest | chivalrous defender of woman's in- herent incapacity, but from a wiser and greater man, Charles Darwin, in Chapter XIX. of “The Descent of Man.” Man, according to the father of evolution, owes his greater emi- nence to his greater energy and in- ventiveness, characteristics which he aaserts were developed in primitive times by the struggle through maay tions for existence and for the oeatice of the female. There is hope for women in this statement, For if man obtained his distinguishing mental traits through the struggle for the female, surely, now that times have changed and woman is compelled to be the pursuer, the inter-feminine warfare for possession of the male may likewise de- velop inventivens and energy which they will in turn transmit to tt sir female offspring.
