Judgment and insight AS 1t Is legitimate to
have a prejudice against your son becoming
a bartender or your daughter marrying
gambler, so you may tolerate certain types OF
hobbies and discourage others. But these in
huences should not rest on our own tastes;
there are more fundamental considerations
Thus you and are fond of going to the thea
tire. but it is better for Louise to cultivate
amateur theatricas than fascination for
popular actress 1t is better for Harold to
play baseball until sunset than for him TO be-
come baseball fan. Again, it is for the child
to determine whether he will make study OF
medieval armor or OF orchids, whether she
will conduct propaganda for the protection Of

TvTTH THE coming Of colder weather the
M breakfast naturally takes on a more sub
stantial character. Probably in the ma
foritv of households this meal consists of fruit
cereal. relish Of some kind, eggs, toast and
coffee.
Bacon ham or pork in some variety IS very
largely used for the relish, as its piquant haYo;
seems particularly appetizng on n crisp autumn
morning. and the careful housekeeper should Sc

l. i, curious what difference the cutting will
make in the taste Of a rasher of nam or pork that
is to be broied or fried The latter when properly
cooked is as good as the former and more econo-
mieal since none Of the fat is wasted.
The rind Of either should be pared away with
sharp knife. If the pork is a rib piece the bones
should be cut out as clearly as possible. These
NAV be used to flavor soups,.9r stews OF kidneys
veal or chicken and in fact my dish where the
flavor Of the pork will give an added zest
If the ham or pork is to be fried 1t should be
cut in thin slices with very sharp knife, put INTO
a hot frying pan that has been rubbed with piece
Of salt pork and cooked quickly Until crisp and
brown The meat will curl almost Immediately

seconds Cooked in this way its juices are pre-

delicacies The pork should be cut into cubes and
fried brown and crisp Then drain off the fat and

dren need not take our preference for etchings

At every stage the child should be encouraged
to pursue his hobby as intensvely as time
and chance permit Some hobbies will last
but a short time; others may last into the ripper
years. But in any case these represent inter
ests that carry with them motives for applica-
ton and effort and sacrifice. and they carry
with them stimulation and recreation that are
nowhere else to be found.
The selection of hobby, like the selection
of an occupation or spouse, must always be
left to the person most concerned. You may
give your children a certain bias, however,
that will have a value proportioned to your

In practice we shall be annoyed frequently
by the intensity with which the girl or boy
will pursue hobby. We realize only too we'll
the folly OF setting the heart too firmly upon
this or that. But the child in these things
often is wiser than his elders For whatever
is worth doing at all is worth doing with all
the energy and enthusiasm that can be mus

what is worth doing. We have learned the
folly of air rifles or of reading all the writings
of favorite author not by suff ering any in

that were better worth while. And the chill

The Mission Mine

So many inquiries come to this
Office for information about the
Mission mine from people who
bought stock in the old Mission
mine company, we beg to inform
them that the old Mission Min
ing Company is a company in
name only and has no property.
The company went bankrupt a
long time ago, and the property
was bought in by other parties.
1t was promoted by some fellows
who had no conscience when it
came to selling stock, and after
it was put into the producing
class they broke it up by having
too many high salaried officers.
The mine is running every day
now, and is making money, but
the old original stockholders have
nothing but some fancy looking
stock to show for their money.
The Mission is one of the good
mines of this country.
