SOME BREAKFAST DISHES
Haddock Balls


Stew some dried haddoCk in milk
until the flesh comes easily away from
the skin, pound it we'll in a mortar and
mix with it one tablespoonful of bread
crumbs, piece of butter, a little
cayenne and the yolk of an egg. Mix
thoroughly, and form into small balls;
roll each ball in the white of the egg,
cover with breadcrumbs and fry in

Kidneys and Bacon
Take four sleeps kidneys, one table,

HOME MANNERS

Why is it people have both company
manners and home manners? The
same set should certainly serve on all
occasions, unless one wishes to be
dsliked at home and laughed at
abroad. There are few so expert that
they may be rude part of the time and
polite the rest. Manners may not be
put on and taken off like garment
They have a quality of their own, and
the most casual observer soon dis
covers whether they are natural or
assumed. A gentleman is always q
gentleman, and a lady is always a
lady. A girl may not be disrespectful
to her mother, rude to her sister and
brother, and still expect to conciliate
! society by her beautiful manners. Her
home character is sure to appear, even
in some infnitesimal way, to show her
up as she really is.
L am not preaching, however, to
rude girls and selfish boys alone, says
a writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch 1t
is no more their fault than it is their
parents. PolitenesS and consideration
should be the rules of every household
If parents wish to point with pride to
the pleasant manners Of their offspring
they should give them examples to
follow. They should make it a point
to be polite to each other at home,
and never criticise each other in pub
lie They should remember all the
little amenities of life-"please" and
| thank you" and "I am sorry" Up
to certain age, which varies in indi-
viduals, a child looks upon his parents
as perfection. 1t is, therefore, most
important that they should strive to
maintain this standard in the child S
eyes.
If John is disagreeable and incon-
siderate at home six days in the week,
he may never expect to be thought
jolly and kindly on the seventh when
he dimes out. He has certainly had
more practice in being unpleasant
than pleasant. Can he, then, in a
moment expect to change?
If Susan eats with her fingers when
only the family are present, will she
remember to use her fork when there
are visitors? Certainly not. Habit so
deeply seated will catch her mapping
and surely humiliate her.
Why not always, then, endeavor to
be polite? You may be familiar with
your family without being rudely
familiar. You may say to your sister:
"How well you look" That is famil-
lar; it is a more personal remark than
you would make to a stranger. Yet
you need never say, "How bad you
look" This is no more familiar than
the other, but it is rude. No one can
afford to be at one and the same time
both familiar and impolte.

SOUP FOR EVERYBODY

If is never until one sees certain
startling figures that he realizes what
an enormous task it is to feed the peo-
ple of this country. The housewife
who cooks three meals day Tor u
small and possibly upappreciatiVe ram
ily may console herself with the
thought that she is connected with the
biggest industry in the world that OF
feeding its citizens. Sometimes one
runs across figures which give just a
little conception of what this means
For instance in a certain soup fac
tory in the east where they make con-
densed soups of a high grade, 1t is
automatically stated that over 2o'OOO
mounds of beef are usel in a single day.
Then. too, about $4,000 pounds OF eel
ery. nearly $4,000 pounds of poultry
10 O0O mounds of salt and 10000 pounds
of sugar in a day are put into the soup
that this company makes. And these,
one must remember, are the figures for
only one company of condensed soup
makers. not a general report of all the
canned soup used.
And than when one reads that over
a million cans of this particular brand
are used in New York city alone, and
that one can will serve six people, the
annette of the public begins to look
positively astonishing.
So when you sit down to can toma-
toes tomorrow, don't grumble at your
half bushels, but be glad that you
don't have the task of this particular
factory on your hands with 22,OOO bask-
cts of them, to put up in single day.

TN WRITING about Woman and
the Occupations" in the Septem-
Il ber American Magazine, w. L:
Thomas comments upon treatment Of
the factory girl. He says:
TT is, I believe, considered good
business policy in some cases to work
a horse to DEATH to wear him out fast
and take another. Certainly it would
be a good policy to do so if horses
had a very trifing value and could be
had in unlimited quantities. AT any
rate it is good business to wear girls
out in this way, for the initial outlay
in their case is nothing at all, and
they can be had in unlimited numbers
Professor James theory OF getting
your second wind and tapping un-
used reservoirs of energy is doubtless
sound psychology up to the point
where he leaves it, but there is limit
to it, and evidently working under
great strain is advantageous only II
the strain is relieved by considerable
intervals of rest and recuperatlon.
This is the condition under which the
artist works preferably, and is the

Florence Roberts, whose ability in
emotional roles needs no recommended

bring her new divorce problem play to

play, "The House of Bondage" is the
Y -rk of an English writer and is de-
clared to be one of the strongest
dramas in which Miss Roberts ever
has appeared. An incidental problem,
tense in dramatic strength, develops
when a certain celebrated surgeon is
summoned to perform a delicate opera

he loves and the woman who loves him.

owns 119 specimens, the last three ac-
Quired in Minneapolis.
One pair picked up in a shop in Los
Angeles was a rare find from Miss
Moulton's point of view. They are a
pumpkin yellow, with green lizards
printed upon them. A combination of
baby blue, canary yellow and vermiI-
ion enabled the offering of a depart
ment store to break into this fast COM
pany. Two things only fit a stocking
for Miss Moulton's collection. An alb
solutely outrageous combination of col
ors or a grotesque design. Among her
best specimens are a pair of highly
colOred stockings in which mo less than
seven colors appear, in prismatic order,
in circular stripes, a pair of embelished
scenes from the Old Testament in col
ors, silk open work, with a mosquito
design, the only existing stocking that
is decorated with the symbol of a prom
inent Greek letter sorority and bought
up and suppressed by the order, to the
manufacturers great profit, and a pair
decorated with representations of the
king of diamonds.
"The impressive thing about these
stockings said Miss Moulton, "is that

fellow, which has been enormously
stated.
In speaking of 1.-THE Winters Tale"
the play in which Charles B. Hanford
opens his weeks engagement at Ham
burgers Majestic theater on Sunday
night, William Winter says: There
is so much beauty in the comedy or
The Winters Tale'-so much thought,
character, humor, philosophy, sweetly
serene feeling and loveliness of poetic
language-that the public ought to feel
obliged to any one who successfully re-
stores it to the stage, from which 1t
is usually banished."
1t is said that Mr.. Hanford's produc-
tion of this play will be one of the
most pretentious that he has yet pre-
sented in this city, the scenic features
being elaborate and complete and MS
toricaIly correct as well. An unusual
feature of it's presentation is the fact
that Mr.. Hanford will be seen in not
only the leading role of Leontes, but
he will enact that of Atolycus as we'll.
