Some parents want to choose the
future calling Of their child them
selves, without regard to his or her
hkes or dislikes. A man often wants
his boy to acquire his own particular
trade or profession. when 1t often hap
pens that the child positively dislikes
the work, and possesses talent for
something else, II he is only given
chance to cultivate 1t. This opposi-
ton, however, is sometimes more OF
Z help than o hindrance, for the boy
= filed with ambition, and is deter
mined to succeed, to show father that
he can make his way in the world,
notwithstanding the parents objec-
lions, and he goes to work with
courage and resolution that nothing
can daunt He overcomes objections
after a time, and generally gains the
help and appreciation Of his father
after he has shown that he possesses
the grit, perseverance and independ-
ence essential to success. This d.
versity of tastes is often strikingly
illustrated in family of girls. There
is usually one girl that always helps
mother with the cooking. and at an
early age is skilled In all the myster-
les of bread and cake-making, putting
up fruit in various ways, converting
1t into jelly, jam, preserves and
pickles. She can wash, iron and
scrub and is spoken of among her &C.

In the building trades several small
strikes are threatened in number

members of which are unskilled.

uniform wage of 50 day minimum
In metropolitan Boston but there will
be no strike as the wage question
will not be adjusted until later.
The most serious condition exist
ing In Boston is due to the strike

it is said an attempt will be made to
advance wages In Fall River some
