Some men are roasted too much in cook.
ing aud some keep them constantly in
hot water, while others freeze them IN
conjugal coldness. Some keep them in
pickle all their lives. Such women serve
them up with tongue sauce. Some women
use TOO much spice. A little spice improves
them. but must be used with Judgment.
Now il is not TO be supposed that hus.
bands will be tender aud good IL treated
in this way, but they are very delicious
when managed as follows:
Get large preserving kettle, called the
kettle of carefuness, which all good
housewives should have o0 hand. Place
your husband in it, and place il near the
fire of conjueal love. Let the fire be clear.
and above all let the heat be constant;
cover him over with affection; gRrnish
him with the spice OF pleasantly; add
little sugar in the form % what confec.

tie until done; for, like the lobster, he Is
cooked while alive. When done, take

Now, to be fair, we must look at the
other side. The husband who Is prepared
for his home table in this way must al
ways come home good tempered, leaving
business cares behind, and not vent il
annoyance on his wife. Make yourself
agreeable to your wife and friends. he
lenient TO your wife's faults. BE epuDctual
at your meals. Remember cook can
not keep dinner waiting without ia
spelling. If you should be in hurry do
not expect she has two pair OF hands BE
as kind and attentive to her as you were
before your marriage.
Don't be afraid of little fun at homo
and don't make her shut the house up
for fear the sun should fade the carpets,
for merry heart in the home does good, !,
like medicine. Home should be a wo
mans heaven in the world, and If youI
wife keeps your home in order, her meals
regular and well served, and does her
best TO please, let her see you appreciate
her, and she will be preserved in the jai
of perfection, as you have been cooked
in the kettle of carefnlness Minneapolis
