WOMAN TO BE SUPERIOR.

SHE MAY DEVELOP A SIXTH SENSE, INTUITION. In "Thais" the keynote of the entire performance is the struggle for mastery between the animal and spiritual nature of Damiel, the anchorite, and this struggle is going on to-day the same as it was in the fourth century. It is not a question as to whether a man has an immortal soul or not,, but it is a question of his higher nature dominating his brutal instincts. The average man even to-day is three-fourths animal. He follows his instincts rather than his intellect. The position of woman has been very much raised since she w r as considered a mere chattel, a plaything and slave. Even in China to-day, according to the religion of Confucius a woman is a mere animal without a soul, and is merely considered in the light of a necessity to perpetuate the race. On the other hand ( it is a question whether woman is not destined eventually in civilised countries to take a higher position than man. If what Thomas A. Edison claims is truethat we may be developing a sixth >ense —woman is certainly nearer to that development than the lord of croafion, for that sizth sense promises to be nothing more or less tlnn a development of intuition, which, as we all know, is believed at present to be essentially a feminine ;i.'.nracteristic. However, there have been very few rrcat artists, musicians, painters, or -.vriters who have not had something if the nature of feminine intuition.— "Columbian Magazine."
