GREAT GIRLS.

Scientific and unscientific observers of this generation note' that the average stature of the girls is increasing, and that of the boys decreasing. Brothers are nowhere beside their sisters ■ husbands mere specks beside their imposing wives. Right through the English-speak-ing races this peculiarity is becoming general, arid m another p.eueration, perhaps, the man who is as tall or taller than his wife will be regarded as "a curiosity. It has always been the hypocritical habit of civilised society to affect to regard man as the master of his household, knowing full well that m ninety cases put, of a hundred THE REAL MASTER WAS' THE MISSUS. ■: and the man did but meekly obey. Almost invariably it was observed that the larger the man the more" obedient to wifely command, while the ■ small men were rebels and rulers to a man. Therefore, it may be assumed' that when all the imale w6xld is small, all < the male world's wife will be large and duly obedient, and that .wifely obedience will grow m proportion to the significance of ' husband)-rr stature. Then we may have Amazon soldiers led by pigmy generals,---j but, evolutionist Nature be praised, we j^ Will not have suffrairettes.
