It seems only the other day that Mr. Darwin wa3 investigating the nature and origin of the onc familiar and feminine habit of blushing, and wrote his famous circular to British missionaries asking them, in his passengers. His porter, whose name is Allen, armed with a hatchet, took a position with him at the door. But the passengers were not molested by the highwaymen. Mr.

Another woman removed her shoe and crammed the toe full of bills.

A thoughtful male passenger lifted the lid off the water cooler and dropped his gold watch and chain into it. He had a great amount of fun fishing his jewel out of the cooler after the robbers had departed.

Mr. Darwin has a prejudice in favor of the doctrine which he invented concerning the survival of the fittest, and naturally brings it into service whenever there is an opportunity. He claims that chairs had not been invented when women began to wear shoes, and that hence they were necessarily obliged to eit on the floor when they wished to take them off.

When chairs first came into use they were very expensive, and were handled with care. The thoughtful young man, of course, preferred to marry a girl who would never fut her foot on a chair, and therefore ejected a wife whom he knew would sit on or something of the sort. And distant as that was, we were the nearest and only connection she had in the world, so that his gray topknot."

As he hugged his horse he saw his 6ix companions go down, one after the other.

Thus it was only the girls who practiced that judicious habit that secured husbands. They married, being the fittest for matrimony, and the occasional women who used chairs in connection with removing their shoes gradually became extinct. This is an ingenious theory, and, coming from the source that it does, it deserves respectful consideration. At the same time, it must be noticed that it is based upon a gratuitous assumption that feminine shoes preceded chairs in order of development.

This still remains to be proved, and until it is proved Mr. Darwin's theory cannot be regarded as anything but an ingenious hypothesis. Mr. John Stuart Mill insists that the difference between the two sexes in their manner of removing shoes is due to distinctive mental peculiarities. Man, so he asserts, delights to make all things subservient to him, while woman prefers to be herself subservient.

Hence, man, when he proceeds to take off a shoe, compels his foot to approach his hand, whether by placing it on a chair or by laying it across his knee. Women, on the contrary, are perfectly contented to sink gracefully and gently to the level ot her foot by sitting down on the floor.
