The Great American Bird.
louisville Courier-Journal

To northern mans eye there is
nothing more interesting than driving
turkeys to market" in Kentucky. From
about election day, in all northern cities,
until New Years day has come and
gone, the turkey is truly the great
American bird; but we seldom think
about where the thousands upon
thousands of tarkeys come from. am
prepared to take oath that Kentucky
furnishes them all. In one days ride
in Bourbon county Ibelieye I saw 10000
turkeys. They are punched together
in droves of from 100 to 900, their
wings cropped, and then driven leisureIy
to market, like great droves of stock. I
am told that nearly every town of any
size in Kentucky has its turkey abattoir,
where these fowls are properly prepared
for the more important city market.
The inkling got of the matter will
always bring with my Thanksgiving or
Christmas turkey pleasant pictures of
corn fields studded with girdled,
gathered corn, or bluegrass fields, and
of smooth, sinuous pixies crowded with
thesefowls of the festival time all in q
land of opulent plenty, lying placidly
beneath an autumnal Kentucky sun.

Toasts to the Gods.

The ancient Germans were mindful
of their gods at their feasts, when they
strove to distinguish themselves as
of drinking to the health of their divini-
ties was binding among them. The
North Germans were accustomed at
certain feasts to empty cup to Bragi,
and by that act to assume a promise to
emulate the bold deeds of that god.
Such promises were irrevocable. Bar
gains we're therefore bound by kind
of drink offering in order to obtain the
favor of the gods. At the heirs feast
bumpers were drunk TO the memory of
the departed one, and on other occa-
s;ons glasses were emptied in honor of
those who were absent.
These customs, from which our toasts
appear to be derived, were not abol-
ished in Christian times; only the saints
succeeded to the rights of the gods. st.
Martin, it is said, at his own desire,
took the place of Donar; st. Gertrude
received the honors that had been paid
to Freya; and Njord and Frey appear
to have surrendered their functions to
the first martyr of the church, st.
Stephen. At Freiberg the Johannites
were accustomed to hang stone, rep
resenting one of those thrown at
Stephen, to silver chain. Wine was
poured upon the stone and then given
to the faithful to drink. Memorial
drinks to st. Michael and st. John, the
evangelist, were also common. De-
parting guests and travellers were &C.
customed to drink y ohn's blessing" as
well as in memory of ST. Gertrude and
a number of my ythical stories are asso.
ciated with these draughts.

Head Foremost VS.. Feet Foremost.
Medical Journal.

There has been some discussion as to
whether.a person lying in sleeping
car should place his feet toward the To-
comotive or the reverse. One man who
travelled about $4,000 miles year with
his back to the locomotive became ex-
tremely i'll with q nervous affection,
and got we'll after he had given up the
habit. His doctor believes that persons
who travel much by rail should @take
all sorts of positions A German ply
sician, DIR. Outten. says that if person
lies with his feet toward the engine the
movement of the car tends to draw the
blood from the brain to the feet, cere-
bral an@mia is produced and then sleep.
But if he lies with his head nearer the
locomotive (as is the custom in Ger
many, there is produced cerebral
hyperamia, incompatible with sweet
repose.
DIR. Mcbride, OF the Milwaukee in
sane asylum. advises exactly the reverse.
He holds that with the feet toward the
engine the blood tends to the head. In
the starting of train momentum is first
given to the car. Bodies in the car
resist for moment, and then acquire
the same momentum. But on the least
increase of speed they offer resistance
they are not disposed to go as fast as
the car. A round marble placed on q
board will roll back when the board is
moved rapidly, and he thinks it reason
able to suppose that in human body
the blood constantly offers resistance to
the motion of the train. Therefore,
with the feet to the engine. the blood
will seek the brain. For this reason
DR.. Mcbride urges sleeping with the
head tow ard the engine.

The : Antique Rusn Folly.

!" Manhattan in Chicago Journal
No folly IN fashion has ever exceeded
or ever viii exceed the current craze IN
this city for antique rugs. These arti-
cles are brought from Asia, where they
are woven by hand, and where some
are used by Mohammedans to pray
upon. They are good exhibits OF IN
austry and taste in the blending Of
bright colorg harmoniously into intri-
cate patterns. OF course, the work is
not SO exact or symmetrical as though
done by machinery. The figures vary
in size, the shapes are little irregular,
and there are other blemishes insepara-
bic from labor done with the fingers.
But the dyes are fast, the wool aston
ishingly soft and fine, and q few years
of wear imparts to the surface pecu-
liar and beautiful sheen. These are
the plain facts about the eastern rugs.
Mark the distortion which an artistic
thing suffers when subjected to popu-
larity. IF age beautifies rug, then
rug can't be too dilapidated. That is
the reasoning of the fools, OF their con-
clusion, for to concede that they reason
at all is too much. The stores are
therefore stocked with rugs that are
worn threadbare, that are ragged at the
edges and patched in the centres, that
are extravagant in price on account of
these defects, and that, if that condition
has really been caused from the feet
and knees of Mussulmans and other
foul Orientals, ought to be so suggestive
of irredeemable nastiness as to be in
tolerable in q Christian parlor.
Whisper" responded dealer to
whom I made that criticism, In
month or SO I shall have lot of antique
rugs that your sensitive stomach needn't
roll at. They'll be tattered and torn
bet your life; but it'll be the neat and
quick work of machinery. I imported
q cargo of fresh, new rugs, and they're
now being worn out by machines of my
own invention. It's simply carpet
beating apparatus run ten times as fast
and hundred times as long as it usu-
ally is to clean piece of carpet, and
when rug gets through it is willing to
swear, solemn and conscientious, that it
has been knelt on by greasy Turks for
q thousand years"

A Senile Wake at Los Angeles.
["H. H." i'm The Century.l


In 1888 there was memorable funeral
of woman over 100 years old. Four
teen old women watched with her body,
which lay stretched on the floor, in the
ancient fashion, with only stone be-
meath the head. The youngest of these
watchers was 85. One of them, Tomasa
Camera by name, was herself over 100
years old Tomasa was infirm OF foot,
so they propped her with pillows in a
little cart, and drew her to the house
that she might not miss the occasion.
All night long the fourteen squatted or
sat on rawhides spread on the floor,
and sang, and prayed, and smoked as
fine wake as was ever seen. They
smoked cigarettes which they rolled on
the spot out of corn-husks, slit fine for
the purpose, there being at that day
in Los Angeles no paper fit for cigar
cites.
Outside this body-guard of aged
women knelt a circ.e of friends and
relatives, also chanting, praying and
smoking In this outer circle any one
might come and go at pleasure; but
into the inner ring of the watching
none must come, and none must go out
of it till the night was spent.

Disadvantages OF Extracts.


The chief objection to our system of
cookery is the hygienic tendency of the
essence mania, the concentration of nu-
tritiye elements. Ours is an age OF ex-
tracts. We have moral extracts in the
form of bible-house pamphlets, lam
guage extracts in the form of compen-
dious grammars exercise extracts under
the name of gymnastic curriculums; air
extracts In the shape of oxygen blad-
ders, and vast deal of such food con-
centrations as Liebig's soup, fruit jellies,
condensed milk, fayoring extracts, and
branless flour.
But, somehow or other, the old plan
seems, after all, the best. And, for
some reason (not easy to define without
the help of such analogies), concen-
trated nourishment does not agree with
the nature of the human organism. The
lungs find it easier to derive their oxy-
gen from woodland air than from q
ready-made extract, and the stomach,
on the whole, prefers to get its nourish-
ment in the form for which its organism
was originally adapted
