MALE AND FEMALE. 



' I ""HE beautiful variety which social life displays 

 -*- with its harmonious inter-relations, is the 

 outcome of sexual 

 reproduction, and 

 depends upon the 

 in'herent differ- 

 ences between 

 male and female, 

 and their methods 

 of adaptation to 

 each other. 



Since sex is so 

 universal, and since 

 the sex character- 

 istics remain the 

 same from highest 

 to lowest, the results of sex 

 life are essentially the same 

 through the whole cycle of 

 living things. 



The female is the first 

 form of life ; primitive, un- 

 changing, lasting, she represents the conservative 

 element of life.
