A good wife is to man wisdom

There is no outward propriety

No spirit can long endure bad in.
fiuence. Man is strong but his
heart is not adamant He needs
tranquil mind and especially if he
is an intelligent man, with whole
head, he needs its moral force in
the conflict of life. To recover his
composure, home must be place
of peace and comfort. There his
soul renews its strength, and goes
forth with renewed vigor to en-
counter the labor and troubles of
life But if at home he finds no
rests, and there is met with bad
temper, jealousy and gloom, or
assailed with complaints and CEN

into despair Pen and Pi0lC.

Ham and Eggs.-To make dish
of ham and eggs as good as posi-
BILE, cut the ham nearly haitian
inch thick, boil it in plenty OF wat
er till barely cooked through, pour
off the water and put the frying
pan in place just hot enough to
brown the fat part of the ham
slightly, hut not hot enough to
make smoke or brown the lean
meat much, When this is finish
ed, remove the fry-pan from the
fire, take up the ham pour off this
fat into cup, and wipe the pan
till il shines like mirror, without
a single speck to mar the
polish. Then put in spoonful of
the clear part of the fat, break in
the eggs, and set the pan to cook
as slowly as possible for four or
five minutes, taking them up as
soon as they can be lifted out.
Place them around the ham, and
do not pour any fat on the dish.
Eat with mashed potatoes.
Oat- Meal Pie Crust. -Scald two
parts of oatmeal with one part of
hot water. Roll thin 1t bakes
very quickly, so that fruit which
requires much cooking must be
cooked before adding the pie.
This remark, however, applies on
ly to pies which are baked with an
upper crust. Oatmeal pie-crust is
very tender, and possesses all the
desirable qualities of short pie
crust with no deleterious proper
ties.
Rice. ITO boil rice as in India
proceed as follows: Into sauce
pan of two quarts of water, when
boiling throw tablespoonful of
salt, then put in one pint of rice,
previously well-washed in cold
water. Let it boil twenty minutes,
throw into a colander, drain, and
put back into the saucepan, which
should stand near the fire for sew
eral minutes.
.Bro,Un Bread. - Take three
quarts of good yellow Indian mea Il
and three pints of rye, sift them
together that they may be thor
oughly mixed then add one tea
cupful of molasses, two heaping
teaspoonfuls of saleratus or soda,
half a teaspoonful of salt, half a
pint of boiling water, or about two
quarts of good sour milk or enough
to stir easily with a spoon. Putin
small milk pan, or in brown
bread kettle, if you are lucky
enough to have one, and bake in a
moderate hot oven. After it is re-
moved from the oven, let it stand
a few hours to cool, and commence

bad luck. Now / remember once

he found a pocket-book with two

it, and / stepped on a woman's

One hundred years ago wedding
tours were not fashionable.
One hundred years ago farmers
did not cut their legs off with NOW
ing machines.
One hundred years ago horses
which could trot mile in 2:14
were somewhat scarce.
One hundred years ago our moth
ers did not worry over disordered
sewing machines,
One hundred years ago it took
several days to procure a divorce
and find a congenial spirit.
One hundred years ago there
were no disputes about the impo-
likeness of the street car,drivers.
One hundred years ago crooked
whiskey was not known. Our
forefathers took theirs straight.
One hundred years ago every
young man was not an applicant
for position as clerk or book
keeper.
pne hundred years ago kerosene
lamps did not explode and assist
women TO shuttle off their mortal
coil.
One hundred years ago men did
not commit suicide by going up in
balloons and coming down with
out them.
One hundred years ago England
was not very far behind the United
States in all that goes to make a
nation powerful and progressive.
One hundred years ago the
Dutch had taken Holland, but
they had not made France "come
down" with a handsome pile of
''smart money!
One hundred years ago young
woman.did not lose caste by wet
ting her hands in dish water or
rubbing the skin off her knuckles
on wash board.
One hundred years ago men
were not running about over the
country with millions of fish eggs
to be Matched to order. Fish super
intendended their own Matching in

One hundred years ago the ply

-"Oh, you're a demagoguen'-
The speaker nettled to one of his

the fellow, and pausing just mo-

audience, merely answered with
one OF his own unapproachable
