Know black pan?

KNOW black pan!
There are those that do. The man
who has essayed the voyage between
the seaport town of Dan and the ma
rine haven OF Beersheba without the
price to satisfy the purser, he knows
what black pan is. 1t is relief from
the crews dietary schedule with its
tasteless succession of soup-an bully
peas, salt junk and salt horse on al
ternate days.
The man who has gone across the
Western Ocean waiting on a ship
msnt OF cows has not had the wisdom
to better his condition II he has not
learned the ms and outs Of the black
pan. The opulent voyager who Is
80 reckless as to sQuander his sub
stance on a steerage ticket when it's
80 easy to work it out counts on the
black pan to make his voyage toler-
able for all the days that may lie
between thence and thither, wher-
ever these terminal points may be.
Black pan exists aboard the pas
ssnger ships through the intermedia-
ton Of some scullion underling in
the galley. When such an under
strapper mentions black pan with a
question infection Of the voice the
traveller, wise through having gone
that way before, enters upon con-
sideration Of ways and means.
Sometimes it is a fine work of bar
gaining, the rapacity of the galley
sailor and the capital of the voyager
delimiting the range of prices. In
the end some bargain is struck and
then the traveller feeds on black pan
for the voyage, really great amelio-
ration Of his condition.
Black pan is cabin waste. but it is
GOOD even at that. It is by no means

THY HOSIERY.
The socks I darn for thee, dear heart,
Mean quite pile of work to me;
count them over, every one apart,
Thy hosiery, thy hosiery.
Each sock mate, two mates pair,
To clothe thy feet in storm and cold;.
I count each sock unto the end, and find
I've skipped hole.
Oh. carelesness, this thy reproof,
See how it looms across my sole,
grind my teeth. and then in very truth
] darn that hole, sweetheart, l darn that
hole!

young man. When courtship and
marriage are taken thoughtfully, and
neither as matter Of mere impulse
and emotion nor as a business ar
rangement, there comes with them
strong intellectual stimulation, and in
most cases a widening Of the field of
observation and thought. With the
coming of children the mother not
only experiences new joys and new
anxieties, but also has many new
things to learn and new difficulties to
contend with.
"In imparting training to the chill
dren the mother herself practices
keen observation, the comparative
study of her different children, pa
thence and gentle decisiveness which
is quite as much an intellectual as a
moral trait The mother of several
children-four, five or six-has bet
ter opportunities of developing her
own intellectual life than the mother
of one child or two children, because
ferences of disposition and capacity
among the children, and the children
react on each other and on their
mother in more ways and more inter-
esting ways.
$50 soon as the schooling of the
children begins, numerous intellect
ual problems are set from day to day
for the parents. Any mother who fol-
lows the mental development of five
or six children will get herself Sec
ond schooling greatly superior to the
first. If son or daughter goes to
college the sympathetic mother will
find her own mind enlarged and in
formed. Again, when her children
begin in their turn to mate, all the in
tellectual force the mother possesses
will come into play. 1t is a lively and
profitable mental exercise to keep in
touch with the successfully developed
interests of group Of children from
five to twenty years of age.
Thinking of such subjects and
working for such ends is an intellect
ual pleasure and a civilizing influence
for the household and the neighbor-
hood.
''It will be observed that the wom-
en- who are most apt to lose their
chances of obtaining their intellectual
life as mothers and heads of families
are those who are able to employ SER
wants, nurses and governesses to do
their work for them. They do not so
surely secure the natural opportuni-
ties for mental growth which the d.
rect and unadied care of children pro-
vides."
In conclusion DR.. Eliot said that
when the name of any serviceable man
or woman arises in conversation 1--WE
ask who was the mother, the one who
in most cases is the guiding hand at
the helm when knowledge and right
eousness are instilled into the youth
full mind which in later years blossom
in the field of life and give forth good
fruit That the Christian nations are
so successful to-day is because they
have a higher estimate of the intel
lectual and moral capacities of woman
and of the dignity and informing
quality of her normal occupation"

Charles w. Eliot, President Emeri-
tus of Harvard University, believes
that home-making should be the
browning desire Of woman. In an in
terview at Cambridge, Mass, he said
that for the normal woman the real
intellectual existence was to be found
in the exercise of her mind upon the
problems presented by home-making,
companionship with her husband, and
the vital problems Of the rearing of
children.
There is common idea," said Dr.
Eliot, that to procure for herself an
intellectual life, as distinguished from
a life of sentimental or mechanical
routine, a woman needs to have some
occupation similar to those of men
that is, she needs to keep shop,
carry on business, have some trade or
profession, be skillful in some art
which has commercial use, or be a
professional artist or writer. The
common life of women in bearing or
rearing children and making a home
for family is not thought of as af-
fording the wife and mother the
means and opportunities for an intel
lectual development.
II do not think this is a rational
view. 1t does not conform to the real
experience of woman of good parts
who marries at twenty-four or there
abouts and brings up family of five
or six children.
There is no question that a wom-
an who does not pursue the natural
and common vocation of women may
enjoy an intellectual life in employ
ments similar to those which procure
for men large and enjoyable intel
lectual development. Many such eX-
ceptional women can follow with sat
isfaction the ordinary professions for
men, keep shops, carry on business,
labor for churches, schools and char
table societies, and take an active
part in the various social movements
which are furthered by public discus
sion and the active stimulation of
public opinion, but these exceptional
women will, as rule, contribute far
less to the real progress and develop
ment of man than the normal women
whose intellectual opportunities they
are apt to underrate.
s'The normal girl, who learns to
read, write and cipher at school, and
acquires there a little knowledge of
history and literature and taste for
reading, finds her means of intellect
ual development outside of the
schoolroom in her practice of the
household arts, in her study of clothes
for herself and her family, in her en-
forced careful expenditure Of money,
in reading, and in her daily inter-
course with father and mother, broth
ers and sisters, companions and ac-
Quaintances. From these things much
intellectual training can be extracted
by a girl who thinks, and the girl who
does not think before she is twenty
four is not likely to much at any time
Of her life.
Suddenly this girl takes into her
heart and brain the personality and
interests Of another human being, a

OLD SUIT SETTLED.
Conrad Water Works Case Adjudicated
Out of Court


Conrad. Sept. 1.-The long drawn out
damage case against the town of Con-
rad was settled out of court. The city
council and Mr.. Bohannon came to
terms and the matter that has been
hanging fire for SO long brought to
very satisfactory termination.
Shortly after the erection of our
water works system Mr.. Bohannon
laid complaint before the council that
the nearness of the pumping station
and the water tower had seriously
damaged the sale of his property and
was source of annoyance to his fam
lily. The council and Mr.. Bohannon
could not come to any satisfactory un-
Outstanding and he commenced suit in
the district court to recover damages.
The case was continued from time to
time and the costs kept piling up until
they amounted to about 500 The
council elected last spring has been
trying TO bring about a settlement OF
the trouble with the result that they
bought the property. paying Nj.
Bohanon 5000 for the one lot with
house, he to pay costs in the case.
This seems TO be a very just and
equitable settlement of the difficulty
for all concerned.
