THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.
With Full Instructions How it is to be Pre-
pared.

ROAST TURKEY.-Selcct a young turkey,
remove all the feathers carefully, SINCE
1T over a burning newspaper on top Of
the stove. Then draw" it nicely,
being very careful not to break any of the
internal organs; remove the crop care
fully; cut the head off, and draw the
neck through the opening where the crop
came out, and cut the neck of close to
the body; tie up the end of the skin Of
the neck. Wipe the turkey carefully
with Il cloth wrung from clean water,
but do not wash it, or the flavor will be
impaired. Chop stale bread for the
stutfing, season with salt. pepper and
thyme, mix with it the inside fat of the
turkey chopped fine, and moistcn with
hot water. Stuff the skin of the neck
and the breast and sew them up, stiff
the body and sew it up, tie the legs to
the ''popc's head" and tie the wings to
the body. Put it in the dripping pan
and set into the oven; fill the pan partly
full of boiling water. Have the oven
hot to begin with and aftcrward not so
hot. Basic every ten or fifteen minutes.
When about half donc sprinkle salt over
it and drcdgc it with flour. Turn it
round occasionally so every part will be
equally baked. A fifteen pound turkey
requires between three and four hours
to bake. When a fork is stuck in it if
the liquid that runs out is perfectly
white and clear the bird is done. If
any part is likely to scorch, pin over it
Il piece of buttcrcd white paper. While
