For the Husband Well.

For the Husband As Well.
Many 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 il you
select him yourself. as tastes differ.
Do not go 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 aye roasted too much in
cooking and some keep them constantly
in hot water, while others freeze them
in conjngal 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 it is not to
be supposed that husbands will be ten
der and good if treated in this way, but
they are very delicious when managed
as follows:
Get large preserving kettle, called
the kettle of carefulness, which all
good housewives 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 af-
fectior; garnish him with the spice of
pleasantly; add little sugar in the
form of what confcctioners call kisses:
let them bo accompanied with suffi.
cient portion of secrecy, mixed with
prudence and moderation. Never use
vinegar or pepper on any account In

of the best and the tie strings newly
sewed on. Tie him in by Z strong 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 II
he has become tender, but stir him
gently, and you can not fail to know
when he is done. If he should sputter
aud fizzle do not be alarmed. Some do
this until quite done. lie sure he is
kept we'll in the kettle 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 good din
ner. Unless you become careless or
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 in this way
must always come home good tenn
pered, leaving business cares behind,
and do not vent its annoyance 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 cannot keep
a dinner waiting without its being
spoiled. If you should be in a hurry do
| not expect she has two pair of hands.
Be as kind and attentive to her as you
were before marriage.
Don't be afraid Of little fun at
home and make her shut the house up
for fear the sun should fade the car
pets, for a merry heart in the home
does good like medicine. Home should
be woman's heaven in the world, aud

does her best to please, let her see you
appreciate her, and she will be pre-
served in the jar of perfection, as you
have been cooked in the kettle of care
