Ducks and chickens should be
placed on the dish with the breast

out so as to leave the we'll Drowned

A sirIoin of beef should be placed

taken from the side next the cover

A tongue should be sliced as thin
as a wafer, its delicacy of flavor de-
pending in great degree upon at
tention to this matter. The middle
slices of the tongue are considered
the best, and should be cut across,
and the slices tax, n from each side,
with a portion of fat which is at the
root.
A ham may be carved in several
ways. First, by cutting long deli
cate slices through the thick fat in
the centre down to the bone, or by
running the point of the knife in the
circle of the middle and cutting thin
circular slices, thus keeping the ham
moist; and lastly, by beginning at
the knuckle and slicing upward

daughters by his side, and saying to
them .'This is my mother: she rep
resents to me the purest and nobest
womanhood, and that beautiful
schooner of beer that you see in her
hand is the symbol of her personal
liberty ; it means that she had will
enough to do as she pleased without
caring for the opinions of respectable
people, Can you imagine any sane
man holding up such a mother as a
model for the pure child of his pa

ignore the vile breath of the brewery.
How can any woman be guilty of an
act which will make the children blush
at the sacred name of mother? Let
woman be true to herself, and loyal
to Him who has given her richest
treasures into her hands. Let her
walk with him in white until her
weary feet shall find rest on the banks

Length of Days.
FIVE HUNDRED YEARS oLD-Is LIVING
LOST ART?
Is life worth living?

Is life worth living?
In the days of long ago people seemed
TO think it was, if the length of time they
devoted to becoming acquainted with its
lights and shadows is any criterion.
1t would seem as though life must have
afforded much of enjoyment in the good
old days. Sophocles hung on until he
was $50 years old, then persisted by an
accident Attila was 124 when he died of
the consequences of revel on the night
of his second marriage. This is a warn
ing to young men. Epemenides was 157
at his regretted decease.
Crowns did not sit SO heavily on the
brows of monarchs as they seem lattery
to do. Fohi, the founder of the Chinese
Empire, reigned ll5 years, and so did
Apaphus of Thebes Egyptian. Tacitus
gives It's years to Tuisco, German
prince. DaddOn, an Illyrian noble, lived
for 500 years according to Alexander
Cornelius.
The art of living seems to be one of the
many lost arts which the dark ages COW
cred over, and modern civilization has
not yet been able to uncover. 1t is GER
tain long life was not secured by using
mineral poison as remedies for disease.
That is essentially modern practice. The
ancients doubtless drew on the laboratory
of nature for their medicines, hence the
span of their lives was naturally extended.
We know that our immediate ancestors
found their medicines in the fields and
forests, adjoining their log cabin homes.
These natural remedies were efficacious
and harmless no poison in the sys-
tenn. Physicians were rarely called in,
and the people lived to rugged and hearty
old age. Is it not worth while to return
to their wholesome methods of cure for
common ailments?
H. H. Warner & Co., Proprietors of
Warmers Safe Cure, have introduced to
the public line of Log Cabin remedies,
and their name indicates their character.

Carving

1t is not difficult to learn to carve
well, and housekeepers are wholly
inexcusable for not acquiring the
art, as it is a most graceful accom-
plishment. The first requisite in
carving is very sharp and suitable
sized knife; all efforts or unneces-
sary exprtions are in bad taste, as
they show one of two things: the
toughness of the meat, or the awk-
wardness of the one carving. Dexter
ity and address in the manner of
using The knife, and not strength,
is what is requisite to carve well.
The seat should be sufficiently
high for the carver to have complete
command over the joints before him,
and the dish should be of good size,
placed suffi iently near the foot of
the table. For ham, or any large.
thick joint, long, sharp pointed
knife is the most suitable, while for
poultry or game short knife is
better.
In carving fish. care should be
taken to avoid breaking the flakes.
In serving salmon, long slices cut
from the backbone and along the
flank are the best. Mackerel and
shad should be carved so as to raise
one side of the meat from the bone;
the upper end is considered the best
The roes are much liked by epicures
in carving a turkey, cut off the
Wig nearest first, then the leg and
second ioint: then slice from the
breast, after which insert the knife
between the boRes and separate them.
