How to Cook WoOdcOck.

BY this time we will have cleared out
our little piece OF CRIPPLE and have
had our appetiles sharpeneu. Going
back to the boat, we will proceed sys-
tematically to prepare II breakfast,
firstly getting out and lighting our
little stove and putting on a pot of
water for making our coffee. Then
to gather a quantity OF dry brush and
bark, light it, and keep it well up to-
gether. This done, we will take about
SIX birds, and pick them nicely, draw
ing the outlet out, but not the trail.
Then we will season each bird, and.
taking six sheets of paper, grease them
we'll with some OF the butter, wrap
each bird in Il sheet. and twist the
ends of the paper; then going to our
brush fire, scrape away the Goals and
ashes down to the ground. Now we
will lay the birds side by side in the
cleared space, and rake the hot earth
lightly over them, Just sufficient to
cover them, and then scrape the hot
ashes and coal over all, leaving them
from fifteen to twenty minutes. During
this time we make our coffee and get
the other things ready; then we will
take the Goals aud ashes from of the
birds, pick them up carefully, take
off the paper, and lay them on a hot
plate. placing a lump of butter on
each bird. Then with our other little
cXtras-or without them if we haven't
got lhem-and some cold Maryland
biscuit, u gilt-edge butter. and a
cup of good Java. Well! We mag
inc our friend will by this time have

] are not so crazy as we look. and pos
slblv beg for the privilege of staying
another day. which, OF course, we
shall be too c~onsiderate to deny.
Now, MIR. Editor, in concluding, l
will say, there are woodcock and
woodcock. A young bird in July,
able to fly, weighing, say, four ounces,
is worth infinitely more. as a dellcacy,
than an old bird of eight ounces in the
tall; but still we shall be contcntcd
with both, aud feel grateful that the
law permits us to show Il affection
for them from the 9Th of July to the
the LIST of January Caterer.
Rag Mats L must tell you how to
make rag mats. l have one now
nearly completed which think quite
pretty. u cut my rags. all sorts
stocking-legs best of all-in strips
finer than for carpet Sew them
together, wind in ball and proceed.
Take very coarse crochet hook. If
mat is to be oblong make chain ac-
cordingly. If round, two stitches
will do, and go round and round in
single crochet; that is. draw rag
through with hook. put rag over
hook and draw through the two

quite a large space, and afterward hit

light and dark, have n pleasing
effect, which can be appreciated by

Cancer of the Tongue and Smok.
ing-As to whether smoking may be
the immediate cause of canoe sur
geons are not agreed; but there is a
condition of the tongue in which it is.
in many cases, the precursor of cpl
thelionla, namely, ''leucoplakla;" and
this disease is more geneally consid-
cred to be caused by smoking. Mr..
Barker, writing on this Inflammation
in Holmes System of Surgery"
points out that among seventy-tive
recorded cases, seventy-one smoked
and only four were non-snlokers.
Bnzenet used the term plaques dcs
fumuers' Tor this disease, because he
was convinced that smoking so often
gave rise to it. Mr.. Hulke has more
than once shown that '.leucoplakia''
may be the starting point of epitheli.

For canning raspberries fill glass
jars with fruit, pressing down gently
with a spoon as you fill them: lay al
old towel in the bottom of your wash
boiler to keep the Jars off the bottom
and set the jars in; pour cold water
into the boiler till it is within two
inches of the tops of the cans and pul
on the fire: as they cook. run q spoo1
down the inside of each several times
to let the all bubbles escape and a.
they settle down fill them up from
n of the jars until they are full
screw the lid on lightly, boil ten min
utes, lift them out, till each can ever
full with boiling water and screw tho
lid on as tight as you can. When cole
take your wrench and tighten her
again, turn them up for five minute.
to see that none OF them leak arount
the top, and if you have let all of the
air out at first they will keep TO,
years. ~Blackberriss, gooseberries ane
currants may be canned in the same
way.
