Husbands and their Habits.
Some husbands never leave home

Some husbands never leave home in
the morning without kissing their
wives and bidding them ''good-by,
dear" in the tones of unWearied love ;
and whether it he policy or fact, it has
all the effect Of fact, that those homes
are generally pleasant ones, provided
always that the wives are appreciative,
and welcome the discipline in a kindly
spirit. We know an old gentleman
who lived with his wife over fifty
years, and never left home without the
kiss and the "good-by dear" Some
husbands shake hands with their wives
and hurry off as fast as possible, as
though the effort were u something
that they were anxious to forget, hold
ing their heads down and darting
round the first corner. Some husbands
will leave home without saying any
thing ut I'LL, but thinking IL good deal,
rs evihced by their turning round at
the last point of observation and way
ing an adieu at the pleasant face or
faces al IL" v''r-!!"w Some husbands
never say word, rising fror.i :he
breakfast table with the lofty indifter-
encc Of lord, and going out with u
htarlless disregard or those left be-
hind. 1t is Il fortunate thing for their
wives that they can find sympathy
elsewhere. Some husbands never
leave home without some unkind word
or look. apparently thinking that such
Il course will keep things straight in
their absence. Then, Oh returning,
SOME husbands come home pleasant
and haDOv uuSOIlreI Ivy thn world :.
some sulky and surly with its disal-
pointment. Some husbands bring
home Il newspaper or book and bury
themselves for The evening in its con-
tents. Some husbands are called away
every evening 10y business or social en-
gagemenls some doze in speechless
on n sofa until bed time.
Some husbands are curious to learn of
their wives what has transpired
through the day; others are attracted
by nothing short Of child's tumbling
down stairs or the house taking fire.

VOLUME XXXIV.> NO. 50.
Cutting and Arranging Food.

1t pays to be nice about it. Never
use any but the bread knife to slice
bread, and if possible cut no more
than is actually needed.
1t is o good plan to follow the mod
ern fashion of "slice as wanted" "
though this may SAVIOR of stinginess to
our country mothers. A lot of bread
dry is not economical. 1t does not
add to the attractiveness of the table,
especially if lot of crumbs are allow.
ed to remain, hence we say just
enough.
See to it also that your knife is sharp,
or your slices will he ragged and irreg-
ular. Evenly cut slices, not too thick
or too thin, are more tempting.
In cutting a pie that is to grace a
table before serving, it is well to bring
geometrical fitness to bear. The eye
and little trained carefulness will
generally do it. A chicken pie 50 cut
that some pieces are a third larger
than others is not illustrative of this
carefulness. In the cutting of pies, as
all other things, it is a good plan to do
i well. A pie that is carefully, neatly
trimmed around The edges in making
looks nicer upon the table or plate and
slips upon the knife better.
Perhaps all housekeepers are not as
careful to have a cake knife as one for
bread, but I consider it quite essential.
Only yesterday I ate piece Of cake |
am sure was cut with knife used in
raeling onions just before, and 1t did
not add to the flavor of the cake.
And again, cut cake into regular
blocks; calculate little before begin
ming; you will have nicer looking
dish for your table.
We have not quite become accustom-
ed to "cut as you 60" in cake, but l
am not sure but the day is fast ap-
preaching.
Sauces for tea in a glass dish with
glass preserve plates besides adds to
the tea-table. 1t may be less conven-
lional, but surely has cheerful look,
especially if the berry spoon rests
near.
The butter plate also receives less at
tention in many homes than it should.
Glass is, Il think preferable, and
should have a good cOve:. Two cov-
cred butter dishes are within the
means of almost every family. They
should never be used. for anything but
butter, and alternate often. a tidy
butter dish will sometimes redeem a
poorly set table, and really there seems
little reason why we should ever have
Il poorly set table, yet such is the posi-
tive fact, Notwithstanding many cost
ly luXuries are upon it.
Good Housekeeping.

A NEW VERSION OF AN OLD STo-
RY. --"What did you like best in my
room::" I once asked visitor from
Texas, who spent two hours in my
Grade.
"Why, that pin business" he add
ell readily. "rhat was wonderful. /
didn't know 10 children could be SO
still. The silence was most oppress-
i've And l really heard the PIN" he
added, in quick, bright way.
| was greatly surprised, for "the
pin business" was an experiment.
was anxious to have the undivided
attention of the class, and, somehow,
the children seemed unusually restless.
All teachers know how that is!
Finally, | said, "Now, children, we
will have silence lesson. Let me see
if you can he so still that you can hear
u pin DROP"
Suiting the action to the word, | call.
ed up the smallest child, and gave hel
a pin, telling the rest to listen, and il
they heard the pin as it touched the
floor, to raise their hands.
The silence was breathless, almost,
as Minnie held up the pin, and when
she dropped it we distinctly heard the
sound. OF course the little hands
FLEW up" and we were ready for oul
next lesson. Try it, and "hcar it,"
