Gather y'r peas 'bout sundown. The folwin day, 'bout leven
o'clock gowge out you'r peas with yo' thum nale, like gowgin out
a man's eyeball at a Kotehouse Rinse y'r peas, parbile 'em, then
fry 'em wid sum slices uv streekt middlinn, mcouragin uv the gravy
to seep out and intermarry wid yo' peas. When moderately brown,
but not scorcht, empty into a dish. Mash 'em gently with a spoon,
mix wid can termatars, sprinkle wid a little brwn sugar and the
the immortal dish am quite ready. Eat mo and mo. It fattens, you
up and makes you sassy, goes thro and thro yo' very soul. But eat
on, eat. Stop never while thar is a pea in de dish. (Given bv an ex-
slave in South Carolina).
Copied from an Old Cook Book
WOMAN'S SPHERE
KATE FIELD
They talk about a woman's sphere as though it had a limit;
There's not a place in earth or heaven,
There's not a task to mankind given,
There's not a blessing or a woe,
There's not a whispered "yes" or "no",
There's not a life, or death, or birth,
That has a feather's weight of worth
Without a woman in it.

RECIPE FOR A DAY
MRS. JACK N. VAIL
Take a little dash of water cold,
and a little leaven of prayer,
And a little bit of sunshine gold,
dissolved in the morning air.
Add to your meal some merriment
and a thought of kith and kin,
And then as your prime ingredient
a plenty of work thrown in.
But spice it all with the essence of love
and a little whiff of play;
Let a wise old Book and a glance of love,
complete the well made day.
HOW TO COOK A HUSBAND
Mrs. G. A. Brown, Watervalley, Miss.
"Many a good husband is spoiled in the cooking. Some women
keep them constantly in hot water, while others freeze them with
conjugal coldness ; some smother them with contention and still others
keep them in pickle all their lives. These women serve them with ton-
gue sauce. Now it is not to be supposed that husbands will be tender
and good if treated in this way, but they are, on the contrary, very
delicious when managed as follows : Get a large jar, called the jar
of carefulness, place your husband in it, and put him near the fire of
conjugal love; let the fire be pretty hot, especially let it be clear;
above all, let the heat be constant. Cover him with affection, garnish
him with the spices of pleasantry and if you add kisses and other
affections, let them be accompanied with sufficient portion of secrecy,
mixed with prudence and moderation."
