JOYS OF MARRIED LIFE.
There's Nothing Like It in Bachelor
Quarters.

They hadn't met since the old col
lege days, ten years before, and. of
course, the benedict insisted that the
bachelor should come to dinner with
him, says the Chicago Post.
Married the year left college"
he said, "and I have the incest little
home and the finest Tot of youngsters
that you ever saw. I want you to
come out and see how nicely I'm fixed.
1 tell you a man doesn't know what
life is till he's married"
"No?"
well, I should say not"
And so it happened that the bachelor
went with the benedict, and met the
latter's wife and played with his chill
dren, and made himself generally use
full and popular until they were seated
at the dinner table.
It was over the coffee and cigars,
after the benedict's wife had left the
table, that the benedict finally sug-
gested:
Pretty comfortably fixed, amt I,
old man? Children, why don't you go
into the other room?"
Every nicely, indeed answered the
bachelor, replying to the first question
and ignoring the second.
ooh, there's nothing like home life"
went on the benedict. willie, stop
trying to climb on Mr.. Browns knee!
He wants to smoke. Do you know,
old man, I laugh when I think Of my
foolish idea that I knew in those old
days what happiness was! Why. a
man doesn't begin to live until-Mag'
gle, put that nut pick back on the
table. You'll jab it in your eye the
first thing you know. Yes, sir; I
actually have to laugh when I think
of it. Our idea of contentment in
those old days was to get pipe and
book and a bottle of Scotch and
lock the door and lie down and-Would
you mind moving your coffee cup a
little further back on the table, old
man? Tommie's trying to reach it,
and my wife would raise my scalp if
| should let him break one of her very
best cups. That's it. Thank you. AS
was saying, we didn't know what
! days. No single man does A man
has to have a big armchair and his
slippers all ready for him, and every
thing sort of restful and quiet iefore
Now, don't cry, Mabel. If you didn't
want to get hurt, why did you grab
the end of my cigar. Tommie, take
her in to her mother. There, Willie,
l told you you'd stick that nut pick
into you hand if you didn't look out.
Run into the other room and ask your
mother to put bandage on it. Let's
see, where was l, old man? Oh, yes,
I remember now. I was about to say
that there's nothing homelike about
a bachelors quarters
NO." Interrupted the bachelor with
considerable emphasis, there isn't"
The benedict couldn't quite see the
reason for such an emphatic assertion,
but he wisely changed the subject,
just the same.

REMEMBER IN COOKING.

That most vegetables should be put
on to cook in freshly boiling water.
That salt should be added when
they are about two-thirds done.
That lying in very cold water for
an hour or more will partially restore
to wilted vegetables quality and
freshness.
That every green vegetable should
be cooked rapidly, and uncovered, to
retain it's color.
That if the water is very hard, a
tiny bit of soda, not larger than a
pea, added, will make the vegetables
cooked in it tenderer and of better
color. Ordinary water does not re-
Quire such addition.
That when soft water is used the
salt must be in from the first, to pre-
vent loss of flavor and substance.
That cooking a vegetable after it
is done toughens, darkens it and de-
tracts from it's flavor.
That the best dressing for vegeta-
bles at their perfection is butter, pep
per and salt-caulifower and perhaps
asparagus excepted.
That older or staler vegetables are
improved by cream or drawn-butter
sauce-the basis for the latter the
reduced liquor left when the cooking
is finished-Woman's Home Compan-
ion.

CONFIDENCE.

Guess I'll hang it up right there,
Where he's sure to find it,
On the ole broke rockin' chair,
An I'll hide behind it.
When 1 hear him boiler "Whoa!"
I'll bet he won't catch me;
I'll sneak out of bed so slow
An see what he'll fetch me.
Hung it up last Christmas too,
But he went right by it,
Just as ma told me he'd do
When I said I'd try it.
Ma says he don't come around
Where poor kids are living;
Says That's what she's always found
Bout this cheerful givin'''
But guess ole Sanity Claus
Maybe was too busy
For to stop last year, because
He's no mean guy, is he?
Kind of wish he had a-come
Just to fool my mother
He brought Jimmy Bates drum,
Though, somehow or other.
We amt got much left in here;
Ma says she's a-wishin'
Christmas wouldn't come this year
Count of her condition.
But I'll hang it up right there
Where he's sure to find it,
On the ole broke rockin' chair,
An I'll hide behind it.

Joy at finding her mother. The rest o.
the happening is best told in the mothers
own words. She said:
"On the 2Sth of Sept. 1896, while in
the bloom of health Beatrice was sudden
" and severely afflicted with spinal menin'
gitis. Strong and vigorous before, in five
weeks she became feeble and suffered
from a paralytic stroke which twisted her
head back to the side and made it impos'
sible for her to move limb. Her speech,
however, was not affected. We called IN
our family doctor, one of the most eXperl-
enced and successful practitioners in tho
city. He considered the case a very grave

'Busy in my kitchen one afternoon
was startled by the cry of Mamma
flom little Beatrice, who was creeping
toward me. I had placed her on an i'm
provised bed in the parlor comfortably
close to the freside and given her some
books and playthings. She became tired
of waiting for me to come back and made
up her mind to go to me, so her story

Life and the Liver.

Success in life depends upon the liver
is the way Chas. Lamb, the poet and pun
ster, put it. Medical science has proven
that nine-tenths of the ailments of living
have their origin in the liver, and in con-
stipation caused by it's arrangements.
Keep the liver lively and all will be well.
Modern science points out Cascarets as
the only perfect, gentle, positive liver reg
ulator fit to be used in the delicate human
organism. All druggists sell Cascarets
10c, 25c, SOC, and we recommend them
most heartily.

AN OLD TRAGEDY.
Killing Of Magruder in Maryland by
the Father of Chief Justice fancy.


So many garbled accounts have been
published recently with regard to the
fancy Magruder tragedy in Calvert
county in the early part of the present
century, says the Baltimore Sun, that
the following authoritative statement,
by Mrs. Lydia B. Brown, a Baltimore
lady, seems, as she says, demanded in
the interest of truth and justice. Mrs
Brown received her information direct
ly from her mother, who was perfectly
cohversant with all the circumstances
of the case and who repeatedly told
them to her children and friends, and
went over the whole ground again not
long before her death in 1898. Mrs.
Browns statement effectually disposes
of the sensational and false stories

PREPARING TO LEAVE CAMP.
IT IS THOUGHT THAT DELAWARE
SOLDIERS WILL MOVE SOON.


Mlddletown, June 6.-The visitors at
Camp Tunnel yesterday were not as
numerous as on previous Sundays, due
chiefly TO the fact that there were no
excursion trains. : The clothing which
arrived a few days ego is being dis
tributed, the men being fitted out by
companies. Company II is now COM
pletely uniformed and It is thought
probable that Company G win next be
given attention.
Men and officers are still being kept
rigidly within the lines, and it is
thought the regiment will be ordered
to move as soon as the equipments have
all been distributed.
Nearly all Of the company officers
have ordered new uniforms. Some are
being made in Wilmington and some
in Philadelphia, and there is complaint
that the clothing is not being turned
out, in some instances, as rapidly as
had been anticipated.
There is likely to be considerable
dissatisfaction over the proposal to re-
cruit the Delaware regiment up to 1900
men. Under the first call for troops the
states quota, according to population,
was 341 and the regiment has been re-
cruited to 1,02S officers and men. I'm
der the second call the state is not
asked to furnish more soldiers. Should
third call be made there is a DISPOSE
ton to commission colored officers to
organize a battalion. The regiment
was, however, recruited to its present
strength after the most strenuous ef-
forts Of the officers, and many persons
| think no further attempt should be
made at present to obtain soldiers from
| Delaware.
