The Art of Cooking a Hus-
band.

An Amusing Recipe Given by a
Baltimore Cooking School
Lecturer.
One of the lectures before the
Baltimore Cooking school recent
ly gave the recipe for cooking
husband, which is not commonly
found in books on cookery:
A good many husbands are ut
terly spoiled by mismanagement.
Some women go about as if their
husband were balloons and blow
them up. Others keep them con-
stantly in hot water; others let
them freeze by Indifference and
carelessness. Some keep them in
stew by irritating ways and
words. Others roast them. Some
keep them in pickle all their lives.
It cannot be supposed that any
husband will be tender and good
if managed in this way, but they
are rather delicious when proper
|ly treated. In selecting your hus-
band do not go to market for him,
as the best are always brought to
your door. It 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 ahe
mended. with the required mum
Der of buttons and strings tightly
sewed on. Tie him in the KEITH
by a strong silk cord called "com
FORT as the one called "duty" i
apt to be weak. They are apt T.
fall out of tho kettle and be burn
ed and crusty on the edges, since
like crabs and Holsters, You hav
to cook them while alive. If b
lsputters and fusses, do not be an
xious; some husbands do this ut
til they are called done. Add
little sugar in the form of whs
confectioners call kisses, but n
vinegar or pepper ON any sccoun
A little spice improves them, br
it must be used with judgmen
Do not stick any sharp instr
meht into him to see if he is b
coming tender. Stir him gentl,,
watching the while lest he adhel
to the kettle and so become u.s.
less. You cannot fail to kno
when he is done. If this trea
ment is closely followed, you vi
find him all that is desirable, b

At Corpus Christi, Tex, Fitzsimmons
said yesterday: "Corbett has acted a
coward and sneak in the whole bust
ness, and if l ever meet him I'll tell him
so to his face"
A dispatch from Hot Springs says !:
st now almost a certainty that Corbett
and Fitzsimmons will never fight their
much advertised battle. Corbett said
yesterday that unless Fitzsimmons' new
stake money of Sc, 900 is placed in the
hands of the stakeholder by noon to-
day he will stop training, announce his
permanent retirement from the ring
and leave for New York at 8 o'clock
this evening""

in Washington in favor of the recent

American States. Is the fact that the
Cuban insurgents are mostly negroes,
WHO were recently emancipated, a good
and sufficient reason for offending a
friendly nation by public expression
of sympathy with them at the very seat
of this government?

If General Longstreet was reported
correctly in his recent interview, he has
lost his memory and is irresponsible; as
nothing is better known than the fact
that General Johnston, instead of urg-
ing an advance on Washington after
the first battle OF Manassas, when the
war could have been ended, opposed
such an advance, and was the chief
means by which it was abandoned.
President Davis advised an immediate
march upon the federal capital, which
would have been evacuated at the first
CLINT of Confederate bayonet on the
Virginia shore, but as General John
ston was in command of the army, he
wouldn't interfere with him, and there
by committed the only, but fatal, mis-
,ake of his administration, by failing to
exercise his own authority.

A CAT AND SQUIRRELS FIGHr.-
Some days ago as Mr.. Wade Hawley
and party of friends were sitting on
his porch, near New Baltimore, cat
saw squirrel playing in the yard, and
and with stealthy thread crept within
her distance and then sprang upon it,
As quick as lightning, the squirrels
mate, nearby, came to the rescue and
for half an hour the two squirrels and
the cat fought furiously. All three
showed the truest grit and for a long
time it was hard to say which would
win, as they rolled together covered
with blood and neither side abating
their efforts for an instant. Finally
one squirrel was killed and then the
other was dispatched by the cat who
sat licking her wounds and adjusting
her toilet for a few moments and then
daintily picked her way back to the
house, never once looking at her fallen
foes.-Warrenton Virginian.

Southern Railway Prospects.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-President Sam.
uel Spencer, of the Southern Railway,
said to-day: "The successful forma-
ton of the Southern States Freight
Association and the putting of the
agreement into practical operation have
had steadying effect on rates and
created confidence which has not ex.
listed in the South for two or three
years. If rates are well-maintained,
as now expected, the small cotton crop.
as compared with last year, will not in
juriously affect the earnings of south
ern railways. The large grain crops of
the South and the good price of cotton
will give the farmer more money than
last year. This will be the means of
increasing the miscellaneous traffic.
The revival of manufacturing indus
tries promises also to far more than
compensate for any possible shortage
in cotton. This shortage has apparent
ly been much exaggerated. All in all,
the outlook for the autumn and winter
railroads is encouraging"
