A Boned Turkey

For this purpose you must have fine,
large, tender turkey; and after it is drawn
and washed and wiped dry, lay it on
clean table, and take very sharp knife,
with a narrow blade and point. Begin
at the neck, then 60 round the shoulders
and wings. carefully separate the flesh
from the bone, scraping it down as you
proceed. Next loosen the flesh from
the breast, and back, and body; and then
from the thighs. 1t requires care and
patience to do it nicely, and to avoid
tearing or breaking the skin. The knife
should always penetrate quite to the
bone scraping loose the flesh rather than
cutting it. When all the flesh is COM
pletely loosened, take the turkey by the
neck, give it apull and the whole skele-
ton will come out entr, from the flesh,
as easily as you draw your hand out of
a glove. The flesh will fall down flat
and shapeless mass.
With a small needle and thread CAREFUL
ly sow up any holes that have accidentally
been torn in the skin. Have ready
large quantity Of stuffing made Of bread,
butter and eggs, seasoned to the taste.
with sweet marjoram, sage, parsley,
onions or shalots, mix the whole together.
With this filling. proceed to stuff the tur-
key; gil full every part and then SOW up
the body.-And with spit, skewers and
tape, put the turkey in its usual shape.
Bake three hours.or more, basting it
occasionally with sweet butter. Make

BETTER LATE THAN NKvER.--The Hon
Theodore Frelinghuysen, Of N. J. who
stood chance fifteen years ag, Of being
Vice President of the United States, took
to himself wife two years ago, at the
ripe age Of seventy two, himself, not his
wife, and last week he had born to him
a son and heir. He will probably name
the boy after himself, Theodore, meaning
God given--it will certainly be appro-
pirate. Such instances of "better late
than never" are not very common. but
there have been some very remarkable
cases. Sir Stephen Fox the father Of
James Fox, was married at the age Of
eighty, and was afterwards blessed with
three sons, Mr.. Frelinghuysen is now
married for the second time, He had no
children by first wife.
