ISIT A FAILURE Il?

Mrs. Mena Card has raised a sort of
social cyclone with her article on mar
rage. She attacks mairimony in its pres
ent form vigorously and boldly, hold
ing that it is "vexaiious failure eX-
actly in so far as il agrees with orthodox
ideas upon the subject and it can be
regarded as a success only in cases where
those ideas are more or less disregarded
But then there is the vast majority. all Of
whom 20 TO marriage as!ineyitably as the
great majority to the other world.
Besides, there are bright instances Of
people who like it any way II goes, as is
shown by the following statement clio
tied by Mrs. Cards article;
A st. Louis lady says: owe have
been married eleven years, and in that
time he has never allowed me to make
the fires, frequently getting breakfast
{when had no girD. He never allows
me TO be worried with the babies at
night, walking the floor with them if
necessary, and he never fuses with his
mother law, who has been with US for
ten years. He never flirts with the girls,
always stunning them and thereby
showing his preference for me. He gives
me all of his monthly salary and never
asks me what have done with the last
money he gave me, trusting to my good
judgment in spending it. We are still
happy and have no fear Of a divorce.
He says he loves me better now than the
day he married"

THE SPORTING SEASON.

The approach Of October is the signal
to the sportsman to get out HE gun and
call his dog, for the Virginian is natu-
rally given TO field sports Of aii kinds, as
yotary of Saint Hubert, follower OF
Walton, or a good shot on the wing
OF the inspiration ard the animal spirits
IN al these sports we all know, whether
practically hunters or not. But there is
one phase Of The sporting season In when
people are Interested regardless OF sex or
Of skill and that is the way 10 COOK The
game and fish, whether pnrsued IN the
field or the stream or in the market. 1T Is
mite certain that the simplest way OF
cooking is the best, and, strange to say
the primitive way of the 'avsge' II
adapted 10 civilization, is better than any
metbod-that is, TO the healthy and al
the same time critical palate.
The best thing is often spoiled by being
mt in the oven OF stove and cooked in
a dry heat which evaporates the juices,
and to obyiate this the epicure has learn
ed that pan of water put in the oven
will cause the desired result.
II WAS the old custom in Maryland and
Virginia TO roast the meat beef, mutton
yenison or any other kind Of game in a
"lin kitchen" in an open fireplace full OF
hickory Goals and, this was the perfec-
ton OF cooking.
But the principle involved can be
maintained in the modern cuisine by the
method stated above.
One way of cooking a fish is to wrap
It in several layers of brown Paper,
the inner one fabricated with batter, aud
if it is properly and carefully put under
Goals and ashes for fifteen minutes the
fish will be beautifully cooked and The
paper will come off easily without mar
ring the proportions of the delicate NOR
sci. The origin Of the "Chateaubriand
steak" was the way that the American
woodsmen had of beating the venison
steak to jelly With the tomahawk and
then broiliug IT on spit. This fascinet-
ing subject, however, demands more
space than we have at present.
We intend to impress Colonel Fred
Skinner to reinforce the TIMES with some
more valuable hints in the way TO DO the
game after II comes into the hands of the
cook.

Mrs. CHAMBERS poem of "Asmodeus"
cannot yet be measured by the standard
of the others as We only have about
thirty stsnzas in the first instalment, but
as it begins with courtship between
the intangible fend with wings of fame
and the radiant maiden we may expect
something glowing with warm romance
and osculatory poesy.
But We insist beforehand that there
shall be no prudish comments because
the lover is not exactly material but only
hot air current In q vision.
