One of the lecturers before the Balti-
0 Cooking School recently gave this
receipt for cooking a husband, which
Is not commonly found in the books on
cookery:
"A good many husbands are utterly
spoiled by mismanagement. Some
women go about it as If their husbands
were balloons, and blow them up.
Others keep them constantly in hot
water, others let them freeze by indif-
ference and c~arelessness. Some keep
them in a stew by irritating ways and
words. Others roast them. Some keep
them In a pickle all their lives. 1t
cannot be supposed that any hsband
will be tender and good IL managed in
this way, but they are really delicious
when properly treated. In selecting
your husband do not go to market for
him, as the best are always brought to
your door. 1t is far better to have
none, unless you will patiently learn
how to govern him. See that the linen
in which You wrap him is properly
washed and mended, with the required
number of buttons and strings tightly
sewed on. Tie him in the kettle by a
strong silk cord called comfort as the
n called duty is apt to be weak.
They are apt to fall out of the kettle,
and to be burned and crusty on the
edges, since, like crabs and Holsters,
you have to cook them while alive. II

are called done. Add a little e in

es, but no vinegar and pepper on any
account. A little spice improves them,
but 1t must be used with Judgment.
Do not stick any sharp instrument into
him to see IL he is becoming tender.
Stir him gently. watching the while
lest he adhere to the kettle, and so be-
come useless. You cannot fail to know
when he is done. If this treatment is
closely followed, you will find him all
the more desirable; but do not be care
less with him and keep him in too cool
q place."

What IL q 7O

1t would never enter into my head to
think a person Of great wealth and pos
sessed Of a fine establishment, q lady,
If she could turn in her own house from
beaming recognition Of some star of
contemporaneous fashion to bestow q
frozen greeting upon a social make
weight, or a poor friend of other days
who had not kept pace with her in
progress up the ladder Of society, writes
Mrs. Burton Harrison in an interesting
discussion of the proper usage of the
terms woman and "lady," in the
Ladies' Home journal.
To lay down a law for the use Of the
word in the present condition Of Ameri-
can society would. I think. puzzle the
most ingenious makers Of social codes.
For the time it must remain a matter
Of intuition when and where to apply
the graceful courtesy title Of 'lady."

Washing a silk Rlou.e.

Make a good lather with white curd
soap and hot water in q small tub or
pan and add a small wineglass Of vine
gar, pouring the same amount into an
other pan containing about two quarts
of cold water. Place the blouse in the
water. holding 1t by the neck band,
and rub 1t downward, taking care not
to drag it in any way and never to rub
soap upon 1t. AS soon as it appears to
be clean place it in the cold water, stir
it about to remove all trace of o and
squeeze carefully, but do not wiring;
roll In a dry cloth for a few minutes or
pass through an Indian rubber wringer
and iron both sides, keeping the grain
Of the silk quite even. If the blouse
needs %stiffening 1t can be passed
through a solution of gum arabic made
by adding a quarter of In ounce Of gum
arabic to n quart of boiling water,
and then ironed, but the use of gum
spoils the texture of the silk.

bodice fitted snugly to the hips the un-
fortunate maker was a hopeless mis-
filter. The bodice Of the fourth sketch
is not of this sort, because it has that
other stamp of newness, a slightly full
front, the remainder fitting tightly.
Coming over the skirt, it Is ornamented
front and back by a large rosette of
bluet satin ribbon, the dress stuff being
bluet cheviot. A deep yoked collar Of
ecru lace falls prettily over shoulders,
back and front, and the sleeves have

the most popular sleeve ut present, a

the elbow on the outer side Of the arm
and that is not nearly so long on the in
side being the desired shape. Some are
the size of great pumpkins, and some
times they look a little like them, too.
Unless n can elaborate a gown q
great deal, it is better to keep to entire
simplicity. In the midst Of all the cur
rent gorgeousness, a gown made Of
soft fine cloth with a bodice fitting
closely, save for the little baggy place
in front, its skirt cut just right and a
pair of huge sleeves, will give an CT

MANY MINERS DROWNED F.!
Caught Like Rats in a Trap Near
Central City, Colo.
THIRTEEN MEN PROBABLY DEAD
The Water Came Rushing Upon Them Be-
fore They Could Seek a Place of
safety-The Accident Due to the
Neglect of the Mine Managers.

CENTRAL CITY, Colo, Aug. 3O.-The ac-
Cidental flooding of the American and
Sleepy Hollow mines yesterday afternoon
caused the death, it is believed, of thir-
teen miners. Every effort is being made
to rescue the unfortunate men, but little
hope is entertained A little after3 o'clock
the water in the lower workings of Fisk
mine, east of the main shaft, broke
through the old workings of the vein,
that has not been worked for a number of
years. Coursing eastward, it struck the
Americus where two Italian miners,
whose names have not been learned, were
at work in the lower part of the shaft.
They were both drowned. In its course
the water diverted to the Sleepy Hollow
mine, the easterly portion Of the Fisk
mine, Fifteen men were working in the
Sleepy Hollow, three of whom escaped.
a courier was sent to the adjacent mines
and all their workmen escaped.
In the Sleepy Hollow, whose escape was
shut Off were the following: N. Vegas,
b. Brocken, Brewer Brisk William
Brisk, Thomas Pease, Thomas Williams,
NJ. H. Lacon, Thomas Colbus, j. Harris,
S. Vallero and John Parks.
The sounding of the whistle gave the
first signal of distress, and soon the shaft
building of the Sleepy Hollow mine was
so crowded with the families and relatives
of the imprisoned miners, and those want
ing to give assistance that it was almost
impossible for the work of rescue to go on.
Sheriff Williams finally arrived on the
ground, the building was cleared and
practical miners offered their services in
lowering the bucket The farthest depth
attained was $50 feet, the accumulated
gas forced up by the rising water being
such that candle would not burn at a
greater depth. A second effort was made
larger sized safety lamp having been
placed in the bucket.
The first rescuer who decended in the
bucket found Mr.. Brisk at the 33O foot
level. On reaching the surface he was
almost in an insensible condition. An.
other man went down afterward, but was
unsuccessful in reaching a lower point in
the shaft, owing to the rising of the
water The managers of the property
were on the ground and were very assidu-
| Gus in their efforts to relieve the men.
| The two in AmeriCus are without doubt
dead. Those in the Sleepy Hollow, unless
they can be found in some outhole, have
met death in "a similar manner.
Ever since the closing down of the
pumps in the incline shaft of the new
Gregory Mining company the waters in
the shaft have been gradually rising, t-.1
| Fisk mine having been driven out of the
| lower to the upper workings. This was
| due to the INABILITY of the owners of the
! Fisk and Sleepy Hollow to agree upon a
plan to prorata the drainage.

The work of making connections with the
public water works has not stopped, as some
people suppose. This idea no doubt arose
from the fact that the contractors have their
men at work in a remote part of the town.
They are pushing the work ON South West
and Poplar streets and Mayherry alley, and
making excellent progress.
