Fattening Oysters.

The business of planting oysters and
having them grow properly after they
are planted is not very well understood
by the general public. There is great
deal of money invested in the industry
along the Delaware Bay, and OCCASION
ally some of those heavily interested in q
financial manner come out at the little
end of the horn. The process OF catching
oysters and fatteniug them for the mar
kct is, to say the least, very interesting
one. After the oysters are caught they
are placed on IN immense float, which Is
alright on all four sides. There are
number of corks in the bottom OF this
float, and after the oysters have been
lad out on the bottom the corks are
Withdrawn, allowing the I'oat to fill with
water and 90 to the bottom of the bay.
The oysters will then open their mouths
like any other fish and drink to their
hearts content. After two or three
tide, hare swept over them they are
brought 10 the surface once more. By
this time they have become plump oys-
tcrs, ready for market. The supply at
the present time is about equal to the de.
mand. Choice prime oysters sell at
from s. to 50 per 1000, while "1uIlens'
rate at from $3.50 10 $3.50 per 1000.

THANKSGIVING.

We look to the hills for rest;
For strength we turn to the sea;
For the boon of these, and fair bequest
OF teeming lands to the seaways, we
With Joy give thanks.
Best thanks for the favor is
The fullest use Of the gift:
And pleasure expressed is song OF praise,
And praise is prayer whereby we lnt
Unceasing thanks.
Now at the time of the feast,
And OF bursting granaries,
Now sound of scythe on the grass has ceased,
And reapers rest with smile Of ease,
Do we give thanks
But now at the feast, alone,
But ever, from June to June,
While the harvest is budded and blown,
By the glad thought of the hearth tune,
Dove give thanks.
By full deep pleasure one has,
And so by he weet, swift joy,
A light of color and bloom of grass,
Or the touch OF winds, increasingly
Do we give thanks.
For suns that mellow the fruit;
For strong, clean winds and the SHOWS
Like fold Of fleece upon the root
OF the oak, and the root Of the rose,
Do We give thanks.
For dews and for warm soft rains,
That nfuse new blool in the wood,
For the herb and vine that flushed the lanes,
Through waving fields at the Summer S
food,
Do we give thanks
For thrill ON the line Of nerves,
That leap in quick response
To musics touch, and the thrill that serves
AS the souls applause to eloquence.
Do we give thanks.
For strength of the firm, 1.-THE limbs,
And wealth of body and long
Deep reach of thought, and hope that skins
Like bird, our heaven for light, with
song,
Do we give thanks.
For subtle force Of the brains
Keen power, and the fire thereof;
For the jubilant blood in our veins,
Thatleaps and bounds, when life is enough,
Do we give thanks.
By vigor Of brain and thought,
By reach of the sympathies,
BY much we'll doing and pleasure wrought
By color Of fields and flow of seas,
Do we give thanks.

Cooking the Thanksgiving Turkey.

The Americn Poultry Yrd thus d.
rects: Choose fat, tender turkey,
weighing six or seven pounds; pluck it,
carefully remove the pin feathers, SINCE
the bird over the fame of an alcohol
lamp or few drops of alcohol poured on
O plate and lighted; wipe it witha damp
towel and see that it is properly drawn
by Sitting the skin at the back of the
neck and taking out the crop without
tearing the skin of the breast; loosen
the heart, liver and lungs by introdnc-
ing the foretinger at the neck, aud then
draw them, with the entrails from the
vent. Unless you have broken the gall
of the entrails in drawing the bird do
not wash it, for this greatly impairs the
flavor and partly destroys the nourishiDg
qualities of the flesh. Twist the tips of
I the W ngs back under the shoulders, stuff
the bird with for1e-meat, bend the legs
as far up toward the breast as possible,
secure the thigh bones in that position
by a trusting col d or skewer; then bring
! the legs down and fasten them close to
the vent. Pound the breast bone dow:,
first laying Il towel over it. Lay thin
slice of salt pork over the breast to baste
1t until sufficient dripping runs from the
bird. Baste it frequently, browning it
on all sides by turning it about in the
pan. Use a clean towel to turn it with.
but do not run fork into it or you will
waste its juices. When it is half done
season it with two tesspoonfuls of salt
and one teaspoon!ul of powdered herbs.
When it has cooked about twenty min
utes to each pound, dish it and keep it
hot while you make gravy by adding
huff pint of water to the dripping in
the pan, first taking off little OF the su-
periuous fat, and thickening it if de,
sired with a teaspoonful OF -four mixed
with two tablespoonfuls of cold water.
Serve the turkey hot with gravy boat
full of gravy and a dish of cranberry
sauce. The same direction for drawing,
trusting and roasting will apply to other
poultry and game.

Traditions About StOrkS.

Innumerable traditions and legends,
centre in this interesting bird in Ger
many, in which country he is regarded,
by the children at least as some thing
sacred. He has always been regarded as
the herald of spring. A very old tra-
dltion, recorded as early as the thirteenth
century, states that they are human be:
ings, and merely undergo an annual
transformation into storks on visiting our
northern climes.
There is a theory in north Germany and
Swabia that when NEST is manufactured
for the stork, which IS occasionally done
by putting up an old cartwheel with
boughs twined round the spokes, he will
testify his gratitude to the owner Of theI
house by throwing down feather theI
first year, an egg the second year, and
the third year young stork. Then he|
recommences with feather, and SO on.
The demeanor of the storl1 on his first
appearance is very important. Should
he be chattering, the spectator will break
a good deal OF crockery during the en-
suing twelve month; if silent, he will bel
lazy; if flying, he will be diIigent. Thus
say the peasants of Hanover and Meek
lenburg. In the Altmark, a stork on the
wing signifies to maiden that she will
soon enter the bonds of wedlock; but 1t
stationary, she will be asked to act as
sponsor. Whoever has money in his
pocket on first beholding the stork will
never lack during the year, nor will heI
suffer from toothache.
The superstition that the stork brings
the children is current over all Germany.
In Silesia the flight of a stock over .
house denotes the speedy arrival OF 9
baby; while in the island of Rugen they |
say that, unless the stork lay eggs, thsI
house " i'll also be childless, and, as the |
young storks thrive so will the children.
Nobody dare shoot stork in Rugen,
for then he weeps large tears, and each
tear portends great misfortune .-Aa-

OF where he had been during his long
1bsence he never talked; what he had
done was never known. His reap, ear

him was his poverty.
The expense of his 'keeping" had

And she burst into little roulades of

bowl of stcwed cranberrles, counted the
pies, and looked to see if the turkey
was all plucked and dressed, ready for

For Lizzie Elston kept neither cook
nor waitress, but depended on herself
only for all these household details, and
no one understood better the necessity
for careful economy of time.
She had invited ncle Lemuel and
Aunt Rhoda, from Bayport, Miss Starkey,
her whilom schoolmate, now the teacher
of the nearest district school, and Mir.
and Mrs. Howard, who lived in the cot

Lizzie had ever kept, and she was de-
ten,lined on having it success.\

wife, looking down the road, saw Frank
Elston coming up from the wharf.

the sky.
"I'li 60 and meet him." she said to
herself.
For Lizzie had not been married long
enough to forget all these graceful men,
ories of the honeymoon time.
