THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
Marin Psrloa Tells How TO Select n
Good One.

Good One.
New York Sun.
In this country only is the turkey found
In wild state. 1t is very fitting, therefore,
that in Thanksgiving dinner 1t should be the
principal dish, writes Maria Parloa. The
turkey should be short and plump, the meat
white, with some fat, the legs black and
smooth; and II there.be spurs they should be
short. The end Of the breastbone should be
flexible, more like gristle than bone. A tur-
key that is long in proportion to It's size, and
mas dark or blush flesh, may be tender, but
certainly will not be finely favored and iuicy
dry-picked turkey will be found to have a
much better favor than ecalded one. All
poultry that is dry-picked costs few cents q
pound more than tho scalded, but 1t is well
worth the extra price.

A fair audience saw Clarence Holt In
"Virginius' at Powers yesterday after.
noon. Mr.. Holt presents the character
as an clccutonlst rather than an actor.
HIS personation IL toned with intcli-
gcncc and his reading is at all times inn
pressive and thoughtful. There is In
his excited scenes true evidence Of SIN
cere dramatic fervor. qualities which
denote the possession of earnest theatric
feeling which is commonly called mag
netism.
Last night Mr.. Holt gave us the
Gladiator Saumets version, which is
familiar TO the memory OF those who
saw Salvinis' matches Impersonati6n
at Redmond's Christmas night, 1882.
Mr.. Holt FITS the character admirably in
n physical sense. He IS robust, COM
manding IN presence and forces fire,
but lacks that continuous motive
which thrills and holds attention.
There was in the audience many who
warmly appreciated his undertaking,
and this is just, for his acting was evi.
ds ltly the conclusion of studious con-
sidcration and purpose. The company
averages well and the familiar speeches
are given conventional sound and en-
phasls. The auditors were pleased and
IN mood of approval. and this augurs
well for Mr.. HOlt's return engagement
June /, when he will play for the benc-
Fl. of Manager Hickey.
