Cut the tops from the peppers so they make caps that can be fastened on again. Remove every seed and place the peppers in fresh cold wa- ter for an hour or two. This draws. out the hotness. and the longer you keep the peppers in the fresh water the miIder they will be. Fill with a forcemeat made from meat and rice Ham and rice is especially good, and chicken and rice, well sea- soned, is also relished.

When a. man falls in love with a. girl sufficiently to wed her, the thought of money does not enter into his consdd- eration. After marriage he loves her more devotedly than before. If chill dren bless the union, he is indeed a happy man. If offspring is denied, wise man looks at it philosophica1ly- ]
 Life flows contentedly onward with the pair. A man may fbe a very good husband and yet forget the 1nst duty he owes to the woman who has chosen him from all others is to make good hisSvow at the a1tar-namely, to en- dow her with an equal half of his worldly goods. He has promised to give her all. The average wife is Fot so eovetous as to take over his bus mess and attempt to run it. She is usually willing to accept the amount he doles out to her for household ex- penSes, etc.
 What wife wou1d~think of asking a statement of her husband in regard to his business at the end of each year? I If the marriage bark glides smoothly, all is well She has nothing to fear. But if there's trouble in the matrino- nfa1 camp, and the husband becomes lparsiInonious toward his better half, she has every reason to fear.
 Many g. mans fortune is based on
 the prudence of a saving wife. She, may have elred along on a sum which barely enabled her to keep body and SOUL. CQS6Inerr EQ1lLs her spouse 1111Enu
 have the more money to put into his i business. She may have added her
 own little mite, which she had earned by sewing during those years of strug- 1 gle, to swell his profits.
 Should serious disagreement arise between husband and wife, which
 would cause the parting of their ways,
 the question of how much is wife
 worth, no matter how rich her ha1s-
 band may be, will cause many a wife perturbed heart when she hears what 1.-the law has to say about it. A learned 1 judge has decided that the wife can
 not, by law. gain from her husband any part of his fortune, even though the half of it should rightfully have belonged to her. If the man whom
 she married wishes to be mean with I her. he can see her face the world
 broken in spirit, penndless. After this, who can blame parents for having 'a satisfactory understanding with rich suitor who comes a-wooirlg their i daughter? A father who is looking j after his cfliIds future should not be l called merQenary if he insists that the
 husband should give the wife a cer-
 tain amount each year, if they are
 prosperous, which may be absolutely
 hers. She would never press the claim

After that MT. Frazier happily and virtuously made tour of collection, in the course of which he anhexed most of the loose money in HiggIe county.
