What could it be? If only he had
specimen of it to study!
At that moment shock-headed lad

it?''

MINDS VARY LITTLE
SMALL DIFFERENCE OF THOSE OF
MEN AND WOMEN.
President Of Smith College Has Given
Expression to Views That VIII
Be Received With More or
Less Approval.

That there is very little difference
between the minds of men and the
minds of women, and what difference
there may be is caused by personal
ity, and not by sex, Is the opinion Of
DR.. Marion LIE Roy Smith, president
of Smith college
The differences that still exist in
the education of boys and girls are
not so much due to psychological diff
ferences between them as to social
conditions declared Doctor Smith in
defending this theory. They are
based on the functions that they will
fulfill in the world. For instance, to
date, and probably for some time to
come, more men than women will do
the worlds work as mechanical en-
gineers. And so there are naturally
more institutions to train men for this
work than there are for women.
But already the Massachusetts In
stitute Of Technology has opened its
doors to women, and I don't doubt
that before long more conservative
professional schools will follow suit,

conditions in schools for women
In Smith college, while there has
been an increase of l per cent in the
proportion of men employed during
my administration, the relative I'M
portance of women on the faculty has
increased. The college now has
woman dean, a position formerly held
by man. There are sixteen women
and three men in administrative po-
sitions, where there used to be six
women and two men, and there are as
many women heads of departments as
there ever were One significant rea-
son why we have not more women
on the staff is that there are not more
adequately trained women.
"As to economic independence, be-
lieTe that every woman should be
brought up to earn her own living,
If necessary" said the college presi-
dent. "But am not willing to say that
a wife and mother in a home does
not earn hers l believe that in most
cases she does. The average mar
riage is a partnership. in which the
wife does her share in keeping up the
home and caring for the children. The
children belong equally to the man
and the woman, and are joint respon-
sibility.
Il certainly do want women to have
all their rights. What ] look for
ward to is the day when no woman
shall be at disadvantage, because Of
her sex, and when no woman shall be
able to take an unfair advantage be-
cause of it. Both conditions exist to-
day"

Passing of the OIL Lamp.

The coal oil lamp business has
fallen into the sers and yellow leaf
and with but small chance Of ever
coming back, the New York Times re-
marks. The comparatively few styles
and kinds that still sell are cheap glass
lamps with corresponding shades and
burners, such as yet find place in
the lonely, isolated farmhouse. Scarce
a town now so small and unprogres-
sive in the West and South that has
not its electric light plant. sometimes
privately owned, more often public
utility.
So, too growing number of farm
houses tap the nearest interurban
trolley wire or draw their illumina-
ton from the neighboring4 town. So
the sale of electric light fixtures has
more than made up the loss in the
coal oil lamp business.
Watts and amperes and volts are
household words to those retail deal
ers who once knew only of wicks.
burners and shades. Lanterns are
sharing the fate of lamps, for flash
lights are spelling the disuse Of the
ancient '1anthorn" that goes back to
medieval times.

German Heroes Honored.

Gently there was reference to Bis
marck behring's, Bismarck cigars, etc.
1t appears there are also Buelow her
rings, which run the Bismarcks very
close in popularity, and also BueloW
hams. 1t is suggested that the failure
of Bethmann-dollwegt to associate him
self with any comestible is due TO the
length Of his name. But an entnusl-
astic admirer of Hindenburg has been
selling cheap cognac as Hindenburg
schnaps. and grog as I'indenburg tea
Also doubtful mixture of various In
toxicants has been christened linden
burg coffee. 1t seems rather sad that
the vendor of these connections. which
were sold in opaque cups, should
have been rewarded for his loyalty by
one months Imprisonment for infring,
ing the alcohol prohibition.

An old-fashioned way is to place
pears in a covered baking dish, with
out pairing. Add one very small cup
full of molasses to every two quarts
of pears; but little water is necessary.
Bake about two hours. If you wish.
you may pare and core them, using
one small cupful of sugar instead Of
molasses.

thirds of cupful of whole rice, one
