I have a tried and tested recipe I would like to have the sisters try: How to Cook Husbands—A good many god husbands are utterly spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about as if their husbands were blad- ders, and blow them up. Others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze by their carelessness and indifference; some keep them in a stew by irritating nags and words; others roast them; some keep them in a pickle all their lives. It cannot be supposed that any husband will be tender and good, managed this way: but they afe really delicious when properly treated. Be sure to select your husband yourself, as tastes differ, | and it is far better to have none unless | | you will patiently learn how to cook | him. A preserying kettle of the finest porcelain is best, but if you have noth- ing but an earthenware pipkin, it will do, with care. See that the linen in which you wrap him is nicely washed and mended, with the required number of buttons and strings tightly sewed on. Tie him in the kettle by a strong | silk cerd called comfort, as the one| called duty is apt to be weak. They | are apt to fly-out of the kettle and be | { burned and crusty on the edges, since, like crabs and lobsters, you have to cook them while alive. Make a clear, steady fire out of love, neatness and cheerfulness. Set him as near this as seems to agree with him. If he sput- ters and fizzes, do not be anxious; some husbands do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form | of what confectioners call kisses, but | I no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice improves them, but it must be used with judgment. Do mot stick any sharp instrument into him to see if he is becoming tender. Stir| him gently, watching the while lest he | lie too flat and close to the kettl | | so become useless. You cannot know when he is done. If thus treated vou will ind him very digestible,agree- ing nicely with you and the children, | and he will keep as long as you want, unless you become careless and him in too cold a place. ARRAWANA.

Would likesto exchange cards with UNT ABBY, As Ned Wilson was opening the gate his Aunt Amy came hastily out of the* house and walked rapidly down the path to tell him that his father had fallen from his lumber wagon and the | dactor feared concussion of the brain. A trained nurse was installed in Mr, Wilson’s Toom and Aunt Amy and Ned assisted her while they wait- ed hopefully for the results. The doc- tor's fears were realized and within twenty-four hours Ned and his aunt were without a protector. The house was filled with silence; quietness and mystery reigned every- where, while poor Ned sobbed in his aunt's’ arms. She comforted him by talking of his parents and telling him that, even now, he could show his love for them by being a good boy, and when grown up a good and noble man. For several years Mr. Wilson had been unfortunate. His wife sickened and underwent two expensive opera- tions, which failed to restore her to health. Crops failed owing to four years of successive drouths and he also sustained several other large loss- es, which forced him to mortgage his farm to pay the debts thus incurred. During Mrs. Wilson’s sickness her sister Amy_resigned her position as teacher in Newtonville, and took care of Mr. Wilson's household, endeavor- ing to fulfill the duties which had been suddenly thrust upon her. The news of Mr. Wilson's accident was telegraphed to his brother in the west, and he arrived a few days after the funeral. Aunt Amy and he decided to sefl the farm and family effects at auction. excepting what furniture she needed for herself. The small sum realized after the mortgag paid was settled on Aunt Amy. Uncle (Paul regretted separating Ned and his aunt, but as he was wealthy he could only offer to give Ned a home and an education, After settling Aunt Amy comfortably in three rooms, one of which she fitted up as a schoolroom, to teach backward students to en able her to meet her expenses), they started for the west, where Ned re- ceived a cordial welcome from his aunt and cousins. Ned. learned to love his new home and relatives, still he would not have ration from planned to he had fin- been reconciled to the sep: Aunt Amy if he had not make a home for her after ished his education. Ned intended to work his way through college and become a teacher. His salary then would enable him to make a home f. him and aunt. His ambition re; was in the course of time to hecome a professor in the college from which he would graduate At the completion of the third year Ned's high school cour Aunt Amy wrote that her health had failed, th she had not been teaching for a ye: and would never be strong enough to do so again: her money was gone, and of Where There's a Will There’s a Way and bills had been | tering a home for incurables to re- main until he could support her. His aunt’s helplessness caused Ned to change his plans. Although he was only seventeen years of age,: after much reflection he decided that it was ‘his duty to provide for the aunty who vears before had cared for and made a home for his father and himself. He left school with his relatives’ consent, but they parted from him re- luctantly after siving him a pocket- book containing $50 in money, his tick- et and the heartiest wishes for his suc- cess in obtaining work. ‘When Ned reached his native town, he found that his.aunt’s friends had helped her to retain her rooms. Aunt Amy failed to convince her nephew that he was too voung, and that his salary would not be sufficient for their needs; but she consented to move into some rooms which he had rented in the nearby city of Queenstown where he had procured a position as clerk. His wages were low and he had many | expenses, which included a lady to care for his aunt, and he would have | failed to make the ends meet if he had | not “secured employment for hts eve- | nings. Three years later his aunt became nearly blind for cataracts were growing over her e: Ned puzzled | over the question of how to defray the expense of having them removed. Suddenly he recalled to mind that his aunt in the west had told him that a friend of hers had received a large sum of money for some antique fur- niture she had stored in her attic, and instantly he decided to seil the pieces they possessed.

GOOD ADVICE TQV MARRIAGEABLE | YOUNG WOMEN. | Dear Cornerites: Just a few lines this pleasant morning, My subject will be Intoxicating Liquers, which I believe to he a question of vital im- portance. It is doubtless the inten- tion of every girl to become a bride some day, vet I think if some of them only kmew the many heartaches and hardships before them they would hes- itate before aceepting such a rela- tion with the young man they may be “keeping company” with at the pres- ent time, 1 refer to the young man who uses intoxieating liquers at all, It seems to me it would be vastly wiser to go through life single than to_become the wife of a drunkard. Young men addicted to “taking a glass now and then” will doubtless at you if veu call their habit or even should you hint that dangerous practice; and should sk such & youns man to give up his secial glass for your sake, he would wonder “what you take him for” and probably say: “Haven't I conirol over myself?

Editor of the Social Corner:—That the telephone should ‘presume to at- tempt any role save that of a Mstener {may seem presumptuous on the face of it, but having remained receptive for so long It has come to have an opinion upon most subjects, and one is_that The Fulletin is a most ex- cellent family paper, One may not be educated, but can not regularly read The Bulletin with- out being well informed; and that iw not so far from being educated—it is on the direct path toward it. The giving of the Saint's days is admirable. This over the 'phone was what set me off on this strain—“Oh,< mother, dear, I _never knew until I read it in The Bulletin this morning that I was born on a Saint's day: and, by the ‘way, thank you for your prefty and welcome gift, it was’ just what 1 was wanting, and John says {it is becoming—but mother dear, I am s0 pleased to know that I have Patron Saint -t 18 worth the prce of the paper for a year. I am going tc read his Gospel and learn all I can about him and I hope it will make me a better woman, and daughter and wife and mother.” I am sure tha mother dropped a tear of joy for I heard her give a Ittle sob as she hung up the receiver. It is a good idea to learn all you can of your patron saint whose vir- | tues were remembered for years un- til his name was placed upon tha Canonical list of saints, It is much better to be *thinking and studying of good people than to be idly gos- siping over your most obedient ser- vant.
