Finishing8 Touches Nature tells us that she cannot form the matrix out of vhicli commanding intellectual geniuses of the female sex would proceed. Why this is so we nny partly guess, but cannot wholly know. We see that nature has divided the world into sexes for her own purposes, and that to each sex peculiar functions are assigned. We see that the physiological functions of woman necessitate a different anatomy from that of man, and we infer that these functions and this structure preclude, speaking generally, the kind of effort which we call supreme genius, as also that kind of effort which we call sustained executive power, j While women are not so far differentiated j from men that they cannot enter with pleasure into men's work, and, often in j a great measure, share in their produc- I lion, it remains a fact that it is man's particular organization which is alone capable either of the highest manifestations of genius or the most sustained exhibition of energy. Whether it wi 1 always be so we do not know, for we cai - not peer into the future. It is sufficient that it not only is so now, but that it always has been s>, and that science does give us some good grounds fur believing that the fact is deeply rooted tn the very j structure of sex.—London Spectator. Th£ weightier brain would seem also to indicate, a priori, the greater intellectual power, and this, too, is borne out by undoubted facts. Women, it has often tieen said, have yet to produce their New - ton, their Dante, their Pascal, their Goethe. The assertion is very feebly met by the contention that women's education has been for centuries neglected. It was not education which enabled Pascal as a child to see his way through problems which not one man in 1,000 can understand after prolonged mental dfill. It was not education which gave the race its great men poets. "They lisped in numbers for the numbers came." Bit where are their feminine equals? We J will, however, take an art in which women have enjoyed far more training than men—the art of music. There are some excellent women pianists and violinists, but where are the female Bachs. Beethovens, Mozart s and Wagners'? Nature only can explain the absence of great woman composers as c-f the feminine compeer of Titian and Raphael the technique of whose art seems peculiarly fitted to women. Opp. Public Square.
