Elegant Tr,n,ng ut Dinner.

Another innovation which involves

has been introduced into fashionable
houses in Paris during the progress OF

the practice Of placing on the table
small receptacles in silver, rather
bluntly called marmites, or 'pots. p"
The marmites are carefully covered,
and may contain almonds. mats, cakes,
or any other tiny kickshaws of the
sort. The elegant trihing comes in
when the guests, brimful of mystery as

How to Cook Husbands.

A friend of this department finds
the following recipe of such practical
value that she hands it in for publica-
ton: IA good many husbands are
utterly spoiled by Encouragement.
Some women 60 about it as if their
husbands we're bladders, and blow
them up. Other keep them con-
stantly in hot water, others let them
freeze by their carelessness and in
difference. Some keep them in a
stew by irritating ways and words.
Others roast them. Some keep them
in pickle all their live. 1t cannot be
supposed that any husband 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 silvery appearance, as
in buying mackerel, nor by the gold
en- tint, as if you wanted salmon.
BE sure to select him yourself, as
tastes differ. Do not 60 to market
for him, as the best are always
brought to your door. 1t is far bet
ter to have none unlees you will pa
tiently learn how to cook him. A
preserving kettle of the finest porce-
lain is best, but if you have nothing
but an earthenware plpkin it will do,
with care. See that the linen in
which you wrap him is nicely washed
and mended, with the required num-
Der of buttons and strings, nicely
sewed on. Tie him In the kettle by
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 clear, steady fire out of love,
neatness and cheerfulness. Set him
as near this as seems to agree with
him. II he sputters and fzzes do
not be anxious; some husbands do
this until they are quite done. Add
little sugar in the form Of what
confectioners call kisses but no vine
gar or pepper on any account. A
little spice improves them, but must
be used with judgment. Do not stick

An Appeal.
CHRISTIAN WoMAN's EXCHANGE,
Cor, SOUTH AND CAMP STs.,
NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. ID, 1889.

oA1hA'pj iLh'5 LUZ. lOJ 1901.
At a meeting called today for the
purpose of adopting suitable resolu-
tions on the death of Jefferson Davis,
the Board of Managers of the Chris
tian Woman's Exchange determined
to inaugurate among the women of
the South movement for the purpose
OF aiding in erecting a monument to
his memory.
With that end in view register
was Immediately opened at the Ex-
change, and will be kept for the con-
venlence of those who desire to send
their contributions through this me-
dium. Mrs. P. W. Strong, the duly
appointed treasurer, will receive sub
scriptions, deposit the same in bank,
and publish list weekly.
1t was further determined to make
an appeal to all organized bodies of
women to call their organizations to-
gether at once to cooperate in this
great work, by making their associa-
ton domicils headquarters for, and
using their Individual efforts in col
Letting the subscriptions Of all women
in their respective communities.
AS it is especially desirable that
this should be voluntary and united
offering from all Southern women, it
is proposed that it be put within the
power of each one to contribute her
part by making the subscription fee
one dollar; but as many, who by the
ravages of war or the death of their
bread-winners, have been left so des-
titute that even this sum would be
burdensome, the widows mite is
earnestly solicited; and from those
favored by fortune, whose hearts
prompt them, larger amounts will be
welcomed.
This Exchange will gladly take
charge of and receipt for collections
of other organizations, turning them
over to the proper authorities when
they are ready to receive them.
Come forward, Southern women,
with one accord and without delay,
and pay such tribute to the memory
of him who was the soul of chivalry
and honor, as shall prove you worthy
the esteem in which he ever held you:
the bravest, truest woman the world
has ever known!

BIC FIRE Al fnMaHoKn.
ALI the Business Houses IN the village
Consumed Except One.

News reached here yesterday
morning TO the effect that all the
business houses in Pembroke except
the one occupied by McGehee Bros.
had been consumed by fire, and that
was considerably damaged, as was
its stock. II. G. Rollins with Me
Gehee Bros, this city, returned from
Pembroke this morning and furnishes
the following particulars:
The fire was discovered about 3
O'Clock Sunday morning under full
Roadway in M. G. Miller's house, oc-
cupied by Downey & Jornegan. hard
ware and grocery dealers. In few
minutes the flames communicated to
w. w. & J. p. Garnett's dry goods
house, and then to Boddie & Burrass'
grocery and whisky house, the
building Owned by John Stark, of
Springfield, Tenn, and then spread
to j. P. Bragg's dry goods store, the
house owned by w. d. Garnett, aud
to Robt. Wares grocery and saloon,
building and stock.
The fire had gained such a head
way when discovered that there was
no earthly chance to check it or save
anything of consequence with the
limited facilities at hand. The
building occupied by McGehee Bros,
also owned by Mr.. Miller, was dam
aged to the amount of about $400,
and the stock of goods considerably
damaged, but to what extent is not
yet known. w. w. & j. p. Garnett
carried large stock of goods and
had $4,000 insurance on stock and
5000 on house.
D0wney q Jornegan's loss is 81 900;
M. G. Miller lost two houses, valued
at $4,000, which were insured for $500.
Bragg had $1,000 insurance on his
stock; was valued at $4,000.
Robt. Wares house and stock
valued at SO 900 insured for ST 900.
Boddie & Burrass had $4,000 in
surance, which fully covers their loss,
The origin Of the fire was evidently
the work of an incendary, and sus
piciOn rests upon well know party
who will likely be investigated, but
no steps have yet been taken.

A Raliing mni q DIoFEonl

The following from the Dickson
Advance gives some idea of the ac-
tivity of the iron industry in the
two counties Immediately south of
us. The building Of the GAINESVILLE
Mineral will turn nearly all Of this
heavy freight through GAINESVILLE
and over The L. q Ms lines to its
destination.
The same argument used by the
Advance in reference to a rolling
mill will apply with equal or greater
force to GAINESVILLE, no matter if
Dickson should build several such
enterprises, and we hope she will
start at least one. The pig iron will
soon be manufactured within our
corporate limits and every pound of
it should be converted into finished
material before leaving the market.
Says the Advance:
Why not work up right here the
pig iron that passes through Dickson
daily, instead Of shipping it hun
dreds of miles away only TO see it
brought back South again in its more
merchantable 70 m?
There are now three furnaces whose
monthly production of pig iron aver
age nearly 1900 tons, and every
pound of it shipped through and
away from Dickson, the bulk going
north and west, whilea small portion
only is manula ntured at Knoxville,
Tenn, into car wheels. Some of this
iron penetrates across the borders Of
Canada, while hundreds and hun
dreds Of tons find a destination in
the smo&y city Of Pittsburg, Pa.
What is needed at this place is
first aud foremost, large rolling
mill, and if the citizens of this place
will lend helping hand, removing
all obstacles of a local nature, it is
fair to presume that an enterprise o
this kind viii be started here at ne
distant day.
1t will take from 300 to 500 hand'
to successfully operate snch a mill a

Let us take the lower estimate
Again taking liberal view, not les
than 81 so per day would be paid on
on an average to each hand in thu
way of wages. On this basis nearly
$4,000 would be distributed every
month in wages alone. Merchants
