HOW TO COOK HUSBAHES.
A go :d many husbands are entirely sp iled by mis
management in cooking, and are not tender and good.
Some women go about it 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
ways and words. Others roast them. Some keep'them in a
pickle all their lives, I-t cannot be supposed that any
husband, will be tender and g >od managed in this way.
Turnips wouldn't, oni ns wouldn't, cabbage heads would
n't and husbands w~n’t. But they are delicious when
properly treated, in selecting your husband, you should
not be guided by the silvery appearance, as in buyint
mnckerel; n r by the g lden tint, as if you wanted sal
m on.
Be sure to select him yourself, os tastes differ. An'1,
by the way, do not go to market fcr him, as the best is
always brought to the door. It is bettor tc have none un
less y.'U will patiently learn hew to cook him. A pres rv
ing kettle of the finest porcelain is the best, but if you
have n.thing but an earthenware pipkin it will d, , with'
care. See that the linen in which y.;u wrap him is nicely
washed an'1 mended, with the requisite number of buttons
and strings nicely sewed on. Tic him in the kettle by a
strong silken cord called Comfort, as the one colled’I'uty
is apt to be weak. Husbands are apt to fly Ait cf the
kettle and be burned and crusty on the edges, since, like
crabs and lobsters you have tc? cook them while alive.
Make a clean, strong, steady fire out of Love, Neatness
and Cheerfulness. Set your husband as near this as so ous
t.: agree with him. If he sputters end fizzles do not be
anxious. Some husbands do this until they are quite done.
Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners c°ll
kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little
spice improves him, but it mxist be used with judgment.
Le not stick any sharp instruments into him to see if
he is becoming tender. Stir.him gently; watch the while
lest he be too flat and close to the kettle; and so be
came inert end useless. Y:u cannot fail to kn''w when bo is
done. If thus treated, you will find him digestible, agree
ing nicely with you ard the children, and he will keep as
l^ng as you went, unless you become careless and set him
in too cold a place.
