Advice to Young Wives as to Meth
DDS Of Selecting and Serving.

Many a good husband is spoiled in
the cooking. In selecting your hus-
band you should not be guided by a
silvery appearance, as in buying mack
erel, nor by the golden tint as if you
wanted salmon. The best way is to
select him yourself, as tastes differ.
Do not so to the market for him; the
best are always brought to your home.
Having caught one, you must learn
how to cook him to make a good dish
for your home.
Some men are roasted too much in
cooking and some keep them con-
Stantly in hot water, while others
freeze them in conjugal GOODNESS.
Some keep them in pickle all their
lives. Some IN serve them up
with tongue sauce. Some women use
too much spice. A little spice im-
proves them, but must be used with
Judgment. Now it is not to be sup
| posed that husbands will be tender
and good if treated in this way, but
they are very delicious when managed
as follows
Get a large preserving kettle, called
the kettle OF carefulness, which all
good house wives should have on hand.
Place your husband in it, and place it
near the fire of conjugal love. Let
the fire be clear, and above all let the
heat be constant; cover him over with
affection; garnish him with the spice
OF pleasantly; add a little sugar in the
form OF what confectloners call kisses;
let them be accompanied with a sui
ficient portion of secrecy, mixed with
.-..Io.an - a no1opatiAn NAvar noe
vinegar or pepper on any account. In
getting him ready for the kettle see
that the linen YOU wrap him in is OF
the best and the tiestrings nicely
sewed on. Tie him in by astrong silk
cord called comfort, keep your cover
of duty well over him and your steady
fire Of love burning bright.
Do not stick him with a fork to see
if he has become tender, but stir him
gently, and you cannot fail to know
when lie is done. Ii he should splut-
ter and tizzle do not be alarmed.
Some do this until quite done. Be
sure he is kept in the kettle well until
done; for, like the lobster, he is
cooked while alive. When done, take
him from the kettle and place him at
your neatly spread table and serve
him o good dinner. Unless you be-
come careless, OF set him in a cold
place, he will keep well cooked in this
way.
Now to be fair we must look at the
other side. The husband, who is pre-
pared for his home table i'll this way
must always come home good-telm-
pered, leaving business cares behind
Do not ven it's annoyances on
YOUR wife. Make yourself agreeable
to your wife and friends. Be
lenient to your wife's faults. Be
punctual at your meals. Remember,
a cook can not keep a dinner waiting
without its being spoiled. Ii you
should be in a hurry do not expect
she has two pairs OF hands. Be as
kind and attentive to her as you were
before your marriage.
Don't be afraid of a little fun at
home and make her shut the house
ID for fear the u should fade the
carpets, for a merry heart in the
house does good, like medicine.
Home should be a woman's heaven in
this world, and If your wife keeps
your home in order, her meals regular
and we'll served, and does her best to
please, let her see you appreciate her,
and she will be preserved in the jar OF
perfection, Is you have been cooked
in the kettle of carefulness. Fired

Friends hips.
There is a great difference between
friends in the matter of companion
ability. Friendships that should have
been helpful, cheering and as endur-
ing as life itself are often seriously in
terrupted or finally destroyed by the
lack of u little adaptability OF both
sides.
The thing that most charms and at
tracts us may be some point of ex-
IRENE unlikeness to ourselves; but
even in that case "a friend must not
make her popularity prominent lest
she make it offensive.
OF two friends one will perhaps be
talkatiye and the other silent. Usu-
ally one talks while the other listens,
putting in an occasional question,
comment or suggestion, and both are
satisfied.
But sometimes the quieter one does
not want to listen, while the talker
still would like to talk. Then
the need of tact and consideration.
Let the talker moderate her pace,
speak quietly and occasionally, not
chatter a steady stream; and let the
t~aciturn friend take the trouble to IL
swer patiently and Understandings,
though as briefly as she chooses, and
there is small danger OF either feeling
annoyed or sighted.
Friends do not need speech in the
sense that mere acquaintances do.
True friends never need to make talk
for the sake of conventional polite
ness, and that in itself is a great
thing.
They are not rude if they are silent.
They may work or read in each
others presence, taking pleasure in
affection which there is nc need to ex-
press. They may ride or row or walk,
each enjoying everything through
her friends eyes as we'll as her own.
and speaking or not as the seem and
her feeling suggest.
''Ohl" said one of two girl friends
after they had walked two or three
miles together in the country without
a word, show delightful it is some
times not to be on speaking terms
with one another"
Her friend briefly agreed in this
opinion, and they proceeded another
silent mile.
On the next birthday the first
speaker received a gift from her coin-
panion inscribed with the line from
