THE GIFTS WE HAVE.

THE GIFTS WE HAVE.
Few are horn into this worlC
without an inherent gift o.
some kind, says the CONNER
cial Appeal. Many are more
blessed than others. Artists arc
, born, not made. Genius may
slumber in the souls of men
and women without being
awakened, but it usually is
and finds its level.
Considerable discussion has
been INDUCED III as to the
right of developing certain
natural ifclinations. The wise
educator will sensible tell you
to watch your child and see
what his natural inclinations
are. If he is of a mechanical
turn of mind let his later edu-
cation be developed along this
line. If he has a penchant for
art, give him a chance to see
what he can do. There is no
question but what the best
work is accomplished when
the heart lis in it. A man fit
ted for professional career,
by inclination, can never make
a success in a commercial
pursuit.
If nature implanted certain
instincts it is not our mission
to help stunt or kill them.
This is only possible when the
instinct is of a hurtful ten
dency and not directed toward
the best given moral ends.
1t is our business to dis
criminate among the youthful
instincts and to decide what
ones ought to be cultivated
from their primitive ends into
activities which are compatible
with civilization, and what
ones should be left alone. |
Some instincts which crop out
now and then, and which |
might have been of advantage
in some distant day, are not
the least in touch with our
present day civilization. Ger
tainly the instinct of fear is
not to be cultivated as fear.
and the instinct to fight with
fists and teeth is one that
at least be modified.
We all know that the schools
of the past with their emphasis
upon formal, passive abstract
impressions took hold of our
educators and, of course, en-
thusiasts went to extremes.
In their endeavor to emphasize
the concrete and the physically
active expressions, they for
got the value of all apart from +
the concrete. Our cleverest
and quickest thinkers think !
in word images, not predomi-
nantly insense perceptions or !
images of the objects them. $

A, VARIETY OF ENTREES.

Entrees, or dishes which come be.
tween, include fritters, souffies, pat
ties, rissoles, croquettes and tim
bales. At this season, when chest
nuts are in the market the following
is a dish worth trying:
Lamb Outlets With chestnuts.-Take
pound of chestnuts and make an
incision in each; put them into a
sauce pan with cold water to cover,
bring to the boiling point and boil five
minutes. Drain and peel off the shells
and inner skin. Put them into a
sauce pan with three tablespoonfuls
Of butter, a few dashes of salt, and
sugar, and cook until tender, then
put through a sieve. Return the PURGE
to the stew pan, add stock, water or
milk. season we'll. Trim the outlets
evenly, brush with beaten egg and dip
In fine bread crumbs. Press them well
in and shake off all loose ones. Melt
two tablespoonfuls of fat in frying
pan, and when smoking hot lay in the
outlets, being careful that they all
lie in the same direction as when
cooked the first side is usually the
best looking. Fry On both sides and
drain we'll on brown paper before
serving. They will require ten to
twelve minutes to cook. Arrange the
outlets in crown, all bones to the
center, with the chestnut PURGE in the
center. Pour good brown sauce
over and serve.
Potato Border-Take pint OF po-
tatoes, cooked and mashed, two table
spoonfuls of butter, the yolk of an egg
and a little milk. Season with salt,
and work all together, using care not
to get it too soft. Flour a board and
turn the potato out on it, roll into a
straight, even roll Make round
piece for the center, lay on the roll,
flute with knife or fork and fill the
center with any desired mixture as
creamed chicken, peas or celery.
