Thanksgiving Bird.

Our domestic turkey was formerly
found wild in this country. It's name
was enormously given II, because it was
supposed to be Il native of Turkey, but
naturaliStS say il is only found native in
America. 1t has been taken TO the Old
World and dOmesticated, but does not
thrive, and the American bird is super
ior in size, flavor and beauty.
The turkey resided in New England
before the Pilgrim fathers landed, and
an early acquaintance of the latter with
his virtues went a long way towards
recOnciling our forefatherS with remain
ing there. From the first Thanksgiv-
ing he seems 10 have been firmly estab-
lished as a New England institution.
Iowa sends East thousands of turkeys,
while farmers in Illinois, Wisconsin,
Indiana and Michigan ship them East
in large numbers.
The habits of the wild turkey are in
radical contrast with those of domeSti-
Gated gobblerS. The viciSSitudes of his
migratory life tend to keep him at train
ing weight, and in bulk he will not, in
most cases, compare with the turkey
fattened for the table. Neither is he so
palatable. While his flavor may be
more gamey, the meat is found tougher
and stronger To the taste.
a young turkey is about as tender as
ANYTHING alive. Cold or wet renders
their young lives very precarious. But
they soon tougher, and the longer they
live the harder they are to kill. There
is nothing that walks, flies, swimS or
crawlS that a female will not face in de-
Tense of her young.
The domeSticated turkey is not so
hardy IL requires great care to rear
| him under the most favorable of barn
ward auspices. Whether or not he is Il
deScendcnt Of the wild turkey is queS-
tion that has never been satisfactorily
settled. Some authorities take an af-
irmatiye view of the question, while
Others are inclined to think that his
progenitOrS rs type are extinct. The
wild species found in this country are
similar I'm appearance and characters
/ ties To- those found in Central America,
Mexico and the table lands of the Rocky
Mountains.
Dealers insist that turkeys shall be
killed by bleeding in the neck, and
picked while the body Is warm. Wet
picked or scalded turkeys are not want
ed i'm the market. Shippers have to
be careful that the body is entirely
cold, but not frozen, when packed. If
packed while any animal heat remains
/ il is almost sure TO spoil. Experienced
shippers place turkeys back upwards
and legs out straight in boxes contain
ing from one hundred to two hundred
pounds. Old bull turkeys, as the deal
erS term them, have to be picked in
separate packages or with the poorer
grade Of poultry.

Iafavet,e's statue.

WASHINGTON. November 23.-Ihe
momeutous question As TO The right oil
the statue of Lafayette TO occupy
a place i'm the same park with
that of General jackson has again
been settled. The commission con-
siStiug of the Secretary Of War, the Lii
brarian of Congress, and the Architect
of the CSpitol, spent several months SCI
Getting a site for the new statue that is
now on its way 10 this country, a gift
20 America from the French Republic.
Ii was at first arranged To have it
placed in the White House lot between
the great fountain and foot pavement,
but somebody objected 10 this, and La
fayette was moved over into the
park bearing his name, directly
across the street, Although the gen.
orally accepted name Of this place is
Lafayette Park, il is officially called
jackson Square, because in the center
there IS a great bronze statue on a
stone pedestal Of tlr good old Democrat
riding a fiery horse. which stands on
his hind legs and paws the air with his
front ones.

Thanksgiving Benevolence.

a good deal of its charm in
preparations and anticipationS.
We discussed our dinner last
evening, and who should be invited
On the whole, did you ever get so much
happiness any other way as in making
others happy? So we agreed to make
up these for our neighborS. They shall
have their oysters and oranges at least
We lack most in positive and moral cul
ture. Why not make it part of edu
cation that our children shall engage in
kindly efforts to help others? | have q
conviction that in that way we shall
make them capable of thinking of some
thing besides themselves. and so the!
will be true and loving to ourselves.

old-FashIoned Thanksgiving Dinner.

Now, whenever ! think of an ideal
Thanksgiving dinner, picture an old
farmhouse among the hills. | see 4
great. wide, roomy kitchen and a long
table with Il snowy cover. | see no
fashionable dinner, served in courses
from soup to desert, with colored wait
ers to deity change the dishes, but the
table is loaded down with all sorts of
good things, so that each one can see
Just what is expected of him. and ar
range his meal accordingly. And around
that table are gathered the old, white
haired father and mother, with their
children and grandchildren and old
! friends and neighbors. The table is an
appetizing sight, and there are three
things on il that are celebrated inStitu-
tionS, the turkey. the cranberry sauce
and the pumpkin pie, and these are es-
Sentially American dishes and so are
particularly appropriate for the cele-
bration of our National holiday.

Mr.. HENRY V. SMITH, of Belmont,
West Va, says he considers his cure OF
Scrofula by 5. S. s., one of the most
wonderful on record He had the dis
ease of the worst type all his life, until
he was 30 years of age, and his whole
youth was embittered by it. OF course
he had all sorts of treatment, but moth
ing benefited him permanently until he
took 5. 5. s., which cleaned the poison
from his system, and cured him sound
and well. Mr.. Smith has been well for
over four years, and has had no return

there are now many varieties. Their,

tavor and its crispness, and gardener:
tell us in selecting this variety to take
the lunches which are short, fiat and

While celery is recognized as a whole
some and an agreeable vegetable, it i.
rarely served ut oGr tables cooked. but
IS usually eaten raw, with salt or cheese
or in the form of salad. 1t may be
cooked in a variety OF ways and with
much satisfaction, as can be attested by
those who have thus tried it, and theii
commentator is sufficient TO warrant
the trial of it by those who are not used
TO preparing it in that way.
CELERY SALAD.-Celery salad Is the
choice of salads for game, especially fol
small game. Cut the best and whitesi
parts of the celery into small pieces and
serve with mayonnaise or French dress.
ing. Arrange the salad on lettuce
hearts and garnish with nasturtium
blossoms. A very excellent salad Is
made by adding finely shredded and
bruised cabbage to the celery-a half a
head to three heads of celery. Cut the
best and whitest parts into half-inch
pieces, mix with the cabbage and cover
with the following dressing: Beat to-
gether the yolk of one raw egg, two
tableSpoOnfuls of olive oil Tor melted
butter), a tablespoonful of sugar-level
full it should be-a teaSpoonful each OF
salt, pepper and mustard. Stir in half.
cupful of vinegar and the powdered
yolks of four eggs, which have been
boiled for ten minutes. Pour over the
salad at serving time.
STEAMED CELERY.-Wash two OF
three heads OF crisp, white celery. Re.
serve the best parts, cut in pieces,
sprinkle with salt, add lump of prime
butter, and place in the steamer in q
dish suitable to serve it in. A few min.
uteS before removing from the fire add
some rich cream. Celery cooked in
this manner is regarded us one of the
daintiest and most appetizing of celery
dishes.
TO KEEP CELERY FREsH.-Roll it in
brown paper Sprinkled with water.
Wrap in coarse, damp cloth, and
keep in cool, dark place.
ImmerSe in cold water an hour before
serving.
CHICKEN CELERY.-Cut boiled
chicken in small pieces, mix with the
same quantity of celery, season with
salt and vinegar or cover with salad
dressing. Turkey and veal (coldboiled
may be served in the same manner
CELERY AND CHEESE.-A favoritC
dish with many is celery and grated
cheese, the celery being dipped in the
cheese as it is eaten. 1t is much useC
at formal dinners in England as 4 last
course.
CELERY SALT Wash and rinse celery
roots until quite clean, and then scrapC
them. When dry CRATE and mix will
One-third fine table salt. Use for soups
gravies, haSheS, oysters. etc.
BOILED CELERY.-Cook the celery
with as little water as possible, with ;
pinch of soda added. Season with sal
and butter.
