In Johnson's Encyclopedias is an article

fraught with such danger to the CONNER

their various departments, while that

A Prize for a Husband.

L will say one thing in praise of
my daughter said happy father,
at tina tdaughter's wedding break fast.
She is thorough and practical
housekeeper' Yss
Gould any compliment have been
higher2 What an Endorsement it
was of the good sense and prospective
comfort of tho husband. For a man
has so much of tho animal ia his ma
ture that be cares more for good
dinner than many think he does SO
long as his appetite is unappeased--
to listen to the music of the spheres.
Heavy bread has made many heavy
hearts, given rise to dyspepsia and
its herd of accompanying torments
Girls who desire that their husbands
should be amiable and kind, should
learn how to make light bread. A
story is told of a happy wife, who,
when asked how she managed her
husbandso successfully, replied, with
smile, MY dear, feed him well'
There is great deal in that. Those
wives who are entirely dependent
upon hired cooks make sorry show
at housekeeping. The stomach
performs very importent part in
the economy of humanity; and those
who are forgetfal of this fact commit
serious mistake. Even the lion may
be tanned by keeping him well fed.
