it. If he loses her love by and by, he
loses his one chance of happiness on
earth. No matter what temporary infat-
uations he may experience or inspire he
will never be really loved again.
The man who crucifes such a love as
this wife feels, must some time. some
way, pay the penalty. 1t is the unpardon-
able sin.
A sorrowing wife writes me for coun-
sci. She was very happy and content
ed woman during the first five or six
years of her married life. Her husband
was devoted to his home, and proud of
his wife and two little children
Then he was sent "on the road" by the
firm which employed him. Two weeks
of each month were passed away from
home, and he wrote Of being lonely and
very homesick.
After he nad made six or eight of these
journeys to other cities, there one day
came revelation to the wife. She found
a letter from a young woman written to
her husband which called for expIana-
tions. The husband came forward and
made a clean breast of 1t. He said he
had been desperately lonely while away,
The San Francisco call., 1899-06-11

and he had made the acquaintance of this
young woman at an interior hotel, and
he had taken her out twice to the the
ater, merely 10 Kill time. He had not
mentioned the fact of being a married
man to her, and he had no intention of
pursuing the acquaintance any farther
the matter so seriously to heart, as he
had done no real wrong; only yielded to
a weak impulse in a moment of loneli-
ness"
Meanwhile the wife writes me that she
feels all happiness is forever over for
her, and thinks she might as well take
her two children and go away now as to
linSer along for years in wrechedness.
She asks me If 1 can see any excuse for
her husbands conduct
This wife must take into consideration
the way men are brought up. They are
never taught Self-denial or self-controi by
their parents. Girls learn early in life to
curb their impulses and to bear loneli-
ness and solitude with patience. They
learn to go without pleasures, for the
sake of duty or appearances. But boys
are given a night key and are allowed to
amuse themselves.
No happiness can be restored by con-
slant nagging references to this expert
ence. Let her try to be her old sweet
self, and see if he will not recognize the
great blessings which have been be-
slowed upon him by Providence, and rea-
lie that a little sacrifice and suffering on
his part is small price to pay for a
wifes trust and the respect Of his chill
dren.-NeW York World.

Is Woman a + all
ure as a Cook?

Many are the arguments volubly en-
ployed nowadays which make for prov
ing the eternal superiority of the eter-
nal feminine. Mentally, Intellectually,
morally spiritually and otherwise we
hear of her Grom herselO as a being
set apart, away from and overhead the
opposing and decadent gender, whom in
her greater strength of numbers she
would now force into the novel attitude
of a conquered combatant.
How is it that woman, while occupied
in waving her flag of independence so
busily from the battlements, should yet
be obliged to cede first place even in
the basement to mere man, and that,
while ambitioning the post Of control
ler she should not be altogether COM
petent as cook?
Did woman ever thoroughly grasp or
govern the great art of Brillat-Savarin,
or Ude, or Francatelli, or Grimaud de la
Reyniere, or a hundred others besides,
the creators of ancient. medieval or
modern epicureanism? AS chatelaine or
hausfrau we know her; as a chef how
often? And why?
Physically and mentally, she is un-
fitted for the various labors that at
tend the man cooks way while gradu-
ating from kitchen boy to Gordon bleu
He moves upward by degrees as q re-
suit of his thorough course of training,
ascending the stairs of culinary promo
ton through club, college, hotel or man
sion, applying knowledge, extending ex-
perience at each.
Woman, with less artistic instinct
and industry, generally finishes her
downstairs career where she began it
in poverty. Moving from one place
TO another, her ambition rarely takes
higher flights than unlimited beer and
kitchen maid.
Ihe natural indifference Of her sex to
food of fine flavor is also against her,
for, whether. cook or countess. the
gourmet is never developed in woman
as it is in a man.
OF practical training, the ordinary
woman operator has, moreover little OF
none; she experiments on a long seriea

moreover, always treated the gentle art
of gaStronomy more as q profession
than as menial Office. When in great
houses or colleges, clubs or hotels, the
modern chef of to-day receives a hand
some income, but in feudal England his
salary represented ten times its modern
equivalent, not to mention lucrative
patronage and the ultimate prospect of
a gift of lands. And 1t was this munifi
cent manner of treating it that caused
men of birth and family to frequently
enter what in olden times was treated
as an honorable profession.

Sugar Beets at the Fair.

Many farmers and gardeners of Yaki-
ma county are preparing to compete for
the magnificent premiums offered by
Hon. Levi Ankeny for the best results
from sugar beet growing. The Fair Com
mission has been in correspondence with
the Agricultural College in regard to the
method of obtaining proper analysis and
find that the beets will have to he anal
yzed at Pullman. Prof. Spllman, to
whom the matter was referred, says the
beets will have 20 show three points in
testing: the yield per acre. per cent. of
sugar ia the Juice and the purity Of
the juice will also have to be
taken into consideration. To raise good
beets the grower must have them thinned
to four or six inches apart, keen down
the weeds and properly irrigate the
plants. 1t is not always the large beets
that show most saccharine value, nor
those having most water that contain
the purest juice. As this $50 prize is
offered to induce parties to experiment
in beet growing it is advisable that every
person trying for one of the premiums
secure all information possible and make
the experiment success. The number
Of beets grown npon given area will de-
termine the yield per acre, so that every
grower should have good stand. If the
beets are too thin in one place they may
be transplanted successfully from the
thicker places thus insuring a uniform
stand. The commission will give more
explicit directions about harvesting
when the specimens are wanted for ex-
hibit.
