COOKING HUSBANDS.
some Suggestions Relative to the Cook
Ing school to Open This Week.


Ing school to Open This Week.
The cooking school which opens this
week in Savannah appears to be attract
ing considerable attention. A gentleman
remarked yesterday that he hadn't had a
taste OF corn bread for a long time, and
that he couldn't get any at his boarding
place. He heartily approved of the school
PROVIDED 1t would open way for him to
get corn bread,
A lady is credited with saying that it
would De a good idea to teach cooking to
those who intend to follow it for liyeli-
hood, so that families could get good
COOKS. While she believed it was a good
tnlng Tor every woman, whatever her
station In life, to know how TO cook, it
would be advisable for the proposed
school to devote some Of It's time to giving
instruction TO those who are now en-
ployed as cooks and those who are think
ing OF becoming cooks.
Another lady has a receipt for cooking
husbands which she furnishes for publica-
tlon. IL was written by a Baltimore lady,
ana is warranted to make husbands ten
der and good. 1t is as follows:
Z A good many husbands are utterly spoil
ed by Encouragement. Some women 90
about as II their husbands were bladders,
and blow them up. Others keep them
freeze by their carelessness and indiffeT-
ence. some keep them in a stew by irri-
tatlng ways and words. Others roast
them. some keepthem in pickle all their
lIVes. IL cannot be supposed that any hus-
band Will be tender and good managed in
this way, but they are really delicious
when properly treated. In selecting your
husband you should not be guided by the
suVery appearance, as in buying mack
erel. nor by the golden tint as if you
wanted salmon. Be sure and select him
yourself as tastes differ. Do not 20 TO the
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 peTseverlng kettle.
OF the hnest porcelain is best, but if you
nave nothing but an earthenware pipkin
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 il 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 a clear, steady
ire out of love, neatness and cheerful
ness. Set him near this as seems to agree
with him. II be sputters and hzzes do
not be anxious; some husbands DO this
till they are quite done. Add a little
suRafIn 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 instrument in
them to zee if he is becoming tender. Stir
him gently; watch the while, lest he lie
too nat and close tOsthe kettle, and so be-
come useless. You cannot fail to know
when he is done. If thus treated You will
find him very digestible, agreeing very
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,
