Cooking Husbands.

Miss Cors0n said at the Baltimore cook
ing school that Baltimore lady had writ
tan a recipe tor cooking husbands" so as
to make them tender and good. 1t is as
follows: "A good many husbands are
utterly spoiled by mismanagement. Some
women 90 about it as if their husbands were
bladders, and blow them up. Others keep
them constantly in hot water; others let
them freeze bv their carelessness and in
difference. Some keep them in stew by
irritating WAYS and words. Others roast
them. Some keep them in a pickle all
their lives 1t cannot be supposed that
any husband will be tender and good man
aged thus. but they are really delicious
when properly treated. In selecting your
husband YOU should not be guided by the
silvery appearance. as if BUYING mackerel,
nor by the golden tint as if you wanted
salmon. Be sure to select him yourself,
as tastes differ. Do not 90 to market for
him, as the best are always brought to
your door. 1t is far better to have none
unless you will patiently learn how to cook
him. A preserving kettle of the finest
porcelain is best, but if you have
nothing but an earthenware napkin,
it will do with care. See that the
| linen In Wnlcn you wrap MIN Is
nicely washed and mended with the re
quired number of buttons and strings nice
ly sewed on. Tie him in the kettle by a
strong silk cord called comfort. as the one
called duty is apt to be weak. They are
apt to fly out of the kettle and be burned
and crusty on the edges, since, like crab
and Holsters, you will have to cook them
while alive. Make steady fire out of
love, neatness and cheerfulness. Set him
as near this this as seems to agree with
him If he sputers and fizzles, do not be
anxious; some husbands do this until they
are quite done. Add a little sugar in the
form of what confectioners call kisses, but
no vinegar or pepper on any account. A
little spice improves them, but it must be
used with Judgment. Do not stick any
sharp instruments into him toOsee if he is
becoming tender. Stir him gently, watch
the while lest he lie too fiat and close to
the kettle and so become useless. You
cannot fail to know when he is we'll done.
If thus treated YOU will find him very
digestible, agreeing nicely with you and
the children. and he will keep as long as
you want, unless you become careless and
set him in too cold place"

At the Ironing Table.

As in washing, Everything should be
ready and in proper order before the days
work is begun. The irons should be
scrupulously clean and smooth this can
be done BY rubbing them with beeswax
and salt. or powdered bathbrick. The
heaviest irons accomplish the best work.
and should be used with rolling motion
and a strong pressure. Muslins and
prints do not require very hot irons, but
stiff, white garments need hotter ones.
The ironing table and board should be
firm and strong, and covered with coarse
wooden blanket, over which a clean, coarse
sheet should be pinned. A bosom board
about eight inches wide, and long board
for skirts and dresses, are necessity TO
the laundry. Iron holders should be pad
ded to protect the hand from burning
Collars, cuffs and similar articles should
be covered with clean, thin cloth, and
the iron passed over it several times, when
it NAV be removed and the iron passed
directly over the article. Fine. soft laces
and musins that do not require polishing,
should be carefully unrol.ed. one at a

and purling picked out; those needing
ironing carefully smoothed, and those
that do not, folded. Always iron by the
thread of the material. Embroidery
should be ironed on the wrong side on a
soft blanket.
10 ironing shirts use heavy irons we'll
heated First iron the thick bands, then
the bodies and sleeves. and last the bosom,
which shonId be rubbed over with clean
cloth wruDg out of warm water. Then
the iron should be passed over it rapidly.
then rubbed again with damp cloth. and
ironed until it is polished. To gloss the
linen polishing iron with smooth, round
edge should be used with all possible
force The thickest parts of dresses, such
as the Wristbands. the gathers and sleeves,
should be roned first. Dresses should
ALWAYS be ironed on the wrong side first,
and finished on the right. Fine muslins
look much better if they are ironed twice
in opposite directions. Caps, fichus and
aprons, where the lace is full. should have
the frIl ironed first. In plating frlls,
each plat should be laid by the thread,
and held until ironed in place.
While ironing is difficult work to ac-
complish nicely, any housekeeper who
will take the trouble to give personal su-
pervision to the work will soor teach even
an Indifferent servant to do it properly.
A willing hand guided by a kind and in
telligent instructor, will soon overcome
all obstacles and make the work easy

Golden Trout.

There is trout in whitney creek, a
tributary of Kern river. in Kansas" said a
veteran angler, 1.-THE like of which does not
exist in any other water on the globe 1t has
an abode of its own in the upper waters of
the creek. and it is not invaded by any of the
other breeds of trout which swarm in the
waters below simply because it cannot be
got at by them. The reason of this is very
simple. About six miles from the head of
the creek there is perpendicular waterfall
$50 feet high, The rock down which the
water tumbles is solid and smooth on its face
from base to summit. There are no protrud-
ing lodges or holows at short intervals on
the rock, by means of which other trout.with
leap after leap, from ledge to ledge and hol-
low to hollow can scale this waterv precipice,
rs they do in the case of thousands of high
waterfalls elsewhere, and no trout or salmon
that ever climbed from mouth to head of the
steepest mountain streams can go up this
sheer fall of $50 feet. Consequently the
trout above the fall have never been dis
turbsd bv interlopers of different variety,
aud they live by themselves in the pure cold
water. the most splendid family of fresh
water fish.
They are a fish literally bespangled with
FURNISHED gold and dashed with spots of the
brightest crimson. The first time ever saw
one of the trout | actually thought il had
been ornamented BY the person who had it
with flakes of gold leaf and its red spots had
been heightened in color with brush. But
this is their natural appearance, and when
thew are taken from the water and the sun
tight strikes them they glitter as if they were
clad in brilliant armor. They are called the
golden trout. and they take fly the same and
fight just as gamelv. Their flesh is no bet
ter. 1t is their beauty alone that places
them at the head of this great fish family,
noted for its beauty."-St. Louis Globe
