put tliein in a stew; otlicrs roast tlinii ; and others keep them con- stantly in a pickle. It cannot he supposed that any husband will he good and tender managed in this way, hut tiiey are really delicious when properly treated.

In selecting your husband you should not be guided by the silvery appearance as in buying mackerel, nor by the golden tint, as if you wanted salmon. Be sure and select him yourself, as ta.stcs difi'cr. Do not go to <<he market for him as those Ijrought to the door are always best. It is far better to have none than not to learn how to cook them properly. It does not make so much dift'erence what you cook him in as how you cook him. Sec that the linen in which he is wrapped is white and nicely mended, with the required number of strings and buttons. Don't keep him in the kettle by force, as he will stay there himself if proper care is taken. If he splutter or hzz, do not be anxious ; some husbands do this.

Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call "kisses", but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice improves them, but it must be used with judgment. Do not try him with anything sharp to see if he is becoming tender. Stir hiiu gently the wliile lest he stay too long in the kettle and be- come flat and tasteless. If thus treated, you will find him very digestible, agreeing nicely with you : and he will keep as long as vou want.
