IT IsA misconception to regard the
wife as a beneficiary or dependant Of
the husband, or to regard the money
he gives her as a gift, for which she
ought to be grateful. In spending it
she spends only what is her own; for
the woman who faithfully discharges
the duties of a wife and mother. does
her full half of the joint work of man

no money.

How TO Cook WATER. The late
Charles Delmonico used to talk much
about the hot water cure. He said the
Delmonicos were the first to recon-
mend it to guests who complained of
having no appetite. ''Iake a cupful of
hot water and lemon and you will feel
better" was the formula adopted, and
the cup of hot water and the lemon
Juice in it take away the insipidlty.
For this anti bilious remedy the caterer
charged the price OF a drink of their best
liquors-twenty.fiYe cents or moro
and it certainly vas a wiser way to
spend small change than In alcohol.
Few people know how to cook water"
he used to aGirm. "The secret is put
ling good, fresh water into a neat ket-
tie already quite warm, and setting the
water to boiling quickly, and then TAX
ing it right off to use in tea, coffee or
other drinks, before it is spoiled. To
let it steam and simmer and evaporate
until the good water is all in the atmos-
phere, and theIllme. iron and dregs only
left in the kettle-bahI that is what
makes a great many people sick, and is
worse than no water at all" Every

maker. Allow two leaves for each sec
