credit upon our people. The ripe

more than fit him to cope with the

Cooking Husbands.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
Miss Corson said at the Baltimore
Cooking School that Baltimore lady
had written a receipt for Cooking
husbands so as to make them tender
and good" 1t is as follows: ga
good many husbands are utterly
spoiled by mismanagement. Some
women go about as if their husbands
were bladders, and blow them up.
Others keep them constantly in hot
water; others let them freeze by their
carelessness and indifference. Some
keep them in a stew by irritating
ways and words. Others roast them.
keep them picked all their lives.
1t cannot be supposed that any hus-
band will be tender and good man.
aged in this way, bnt they are really
delicious when properly treated. In
selecting your husband you should
not be guided by the silvery appear
ance, as in buying mackerel, nor by
the golden tint, as if you wanted
salmon. Be sure to select him your
self, as tastes differ. Do not go to
market for him, as the best are al
ways 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 por-
celain is best, but if you have nothing
but an earthenware napkin, it will
do with care. See that the linen in
which you wrap him is nicely washed
and mended, with the required
number of buttons and strings nicely
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 crabs and Holsters,
you have to cook them while alive.
Make steady fire out of love, neat
ness, and cheerfulness. Set him as
near this as seems to agree with him.
If he sputters and fizzes, do not be
anxious; some husbands do this till
they are quite done. Add little
sugar in the form of what confection-
erscall kisses, butno vinegar or pepper
on any account. A little spice i'm
proves them, but it must be used
with judgment. Do not stick any
sharp instrument into him to see if
he is becoming tender. Stir him
gently, watch the while lest he lie
too flat and close to the kettle, and
so become useless. You cannot fail
to know when he is done. If thus
treated you will find him very diges-
tible, 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 a
place."

of his glory, and in the full possession
of his powers, an awful retribution
came upon the great strong man. The
shame of his splendid life had planted
its poison thick and deep, and the
ruin was complete. A cloud fell upon
the strong mans reason, and his ma
jestic frame crumbled and withered
with disease. Where then were his
fiatterers, and where the comely
sirens that with their false charms
had allured him from his hearthst0ne?
AT the first warning of impending
danger they disappeared like sun
beams before the advance of a thun-
der cloud. Where was his fame now
where his greatness, the worlds
homage, the power of riches? All
gone-dissipated, or, at least, as futile
against the handof characterization
as the winds that play around the
tops of the everlasting hills.
From'a living dream whose horrors
we may never know, the shattered
enfeebled man awakened one day.
The cloud was lifted from his brain,
and ere he went to his last Judgment,
his eyes looked once more for a short
moment upon the woman he had so
grievOusly wronged. She, woman
that she was came with forgiveness
upon her lips and love in her broken
heart, to minister to him in his last
moments-to bear him back to the
hearthstone he had abandoned. He
felt her arms about his neck, and the
death damp on his brow was warmed
by her caresses.
Then, at last, we may suppose, this
mighty wreck--this shattered fabric
of human idolatry-saw and felt the
Incompatible sweetness and grandeur
of wifely love. AT least we are told
he stretched out his hands to her as
though he pleaded for forgiveness.
His lips moved, but from them there
came no sound-as if memorable retri-
button decreed that he should not tell
that gentle, noble wife how sweetly
her love soothed him. But we are
told that his eyes were fixed steadily
upon hers, and we knOw-yes, we
know it well-they spoke tenderly
and reverently to her, and pleaded
on, oh, so earnestly, for her love and
compassion. We know, too, that all
the love and compassion the dying
great man craved was given freely
aye, even before trembling hands and
pleading eyes reached out for it.
Such is thy charity, o godlike wo-
manhood and in its sweetness and
tenderness and purity God grant we
all may live and die.

A Beautiful Tribute to Woman.
Chicago News.

Chicago News.
A man whose greatness had brought
him wealth and fame lay on his death
bed. A woman clasped his hand,
and with her kisses and words of love
strove to soothe his dying agonies.
Many years ago this man and this
woman were made husband and wife,
and side by side they started on LIES
journey. Youth, love and hope gave
them strength. No other possessions
had they, yet the future was full of
promise. ra.f
The man gloried in his majestic
manliness. Health made him mar
vel of noble beauty. His frame was
of iron, his muscles were of steel, and
his brain was clear and vigorous as
the sturdy heart that thrObbed in his
rugged breast. Success, which is an"
other name for wealth and fame,
came to him as certainly as it always
does to the brave and strong. Who
was there that did not admire the
manliness of his art?
But in the years that followed this
success the man neglected the wO-
man, his wife. Dazzled by the glory
of his triumphs, his eyes were blind
to the beauty, to the loyalty, and the
sweetness of her love. Perhaps he
thought the woman whom the sturdy,
unknown youth had taken to his
heart was unworthy to share the fruits
of the great and hOnored mans con-
quests. But he put her away; in all
charity let it be said the wrong came
not from an evil heart, but from the
false glitter by which an unparalleled
prosperity blinded his eyes and turned
his head.
To this wrong succeeded greater.
Women who knew not the sweetness
and sacredness OF purity, glorled in
his unholy homage. And into this
popular idols life there crept a shame
that meant inevitable and irretrieva-
BILE ruin.
Who counted the tearS-who heard
the agonized prayer of the heart-brO'
ken wife in all the years Of this mans
proud exultation? That divine al
mighty Power that has written in
every human bosom this eternal
truth-that he who puts stain upor
