Women More Secret than we Suppose, s All the year Hound promnlges a new , doctrine oti this subject: ''We laugh , at the woman's long**, and wonde~ s when a woman keeps a secret; hut evej rv true woman keeps a box of choice ' reserves for her own private indulgence. 9 The man's inysleiiet are no; Iters ; if he 8 cannot keep them to hiinsolf, let him , expect them to be blown abroad. Her t own secrets of love, of h>*?, of self j denial, of unsuspected suffering, no j woman exposes altogether, even to her nearest friend. There never lived a husband happy in the true love of his 1 wife, -who fairly knew all the depths uf her mind about him. Every man prof its stupidly by the wise little percep tionu that Arise so quietly and hare no utterance, except in deeds, of which we vaguely ascribe the times* to a special J faculty culled woman's tact. Women, iu shsrt, keep to themselves four fifths * of the secrets of society, and do it v ith ' a winning air of franknessall thoir own. ? .1 1mhii ulllk h h-vlfl hill vv pof tenuous, or provokiugly suggestive; he e will keep hisinouth shut ostentatiously. r A woinuu is too aluiohitely secret to set tir n public sign over whatever may lie but led in her mind. She gossips, prat i; lies, jh>uih out what she does not care to hold, with such an air of unreserved simplicity that nil mankind is myslilied, and says, in friendly jest, 4 A woJ fnan only bides what she don't know.4 a Among the uneducated poor, this diffl ference between the woman and the man e is most conspicuous. The innate pow J ers of her s? * place her at once upon a an eminence which man can only reach J bv education. She must needs often be tied to one in whom there is not the I e grain of understanding requisite to the t formation of true sympathy. Hy fat |j the greater number of the wives of the d unskilled laboreis and mechanics live r. more or less happily, and more or less r conscious of thehiddeD life within them d having such a seal upon their minds ,e and hearts."

In a paper road before the Scientific Association at Newport, he says '] " l ake a sheet of foolscap or letter paper, roll it up so that the opening at one end shall be large enough to lake in lite full size of the eye, and at the other end let the opening bo not half no lurjre. Take il in the light hand, Induing it bo- 1 tween ihe thumb anil forefinger; plane lite large end to llie right eve, and look lit tough it both eye* upon toward* the light. You will see a hole through your build. ' If you take it in your left hand, and hold il to.your left eye, it will he the mnne. You ivill in both cases bo astonished to t>ee that you have a hole in your hand. The illusion is uiost complete." From this aud other experiments, he , concluded tl.al att impression made on J the retina of either eye cannot of itself 1 enable us to determine on which retina ' il is received, and that the visual per- I ceplion belongs to the part of the optical apparatus near or within the brain ' wbicb belongs in common to both ayes.
