widow, and her three children had
been murdered and the house set on

The western settIer's Chosen Specific.

With every advance OF emigration into the
far West a new demand is created for Hos
letters Stomach Btters. Newly peopled re-
gions are frequently less salubrious than
older settled localities, on account OF the
miasma which rises from recently cleared
land. particularly along the banks OF rivers
that are subject TO freshets. The agricul-
tural or mining emigrant soon learns, when
he does not already know, that the Bitters
afford the only sure protection against ma
Iaria. and those disorders OF the stomach,
liver and bowels, TO which climatic changes
exposure, and unaccustomed or unhealthy
water or diet subject him. Consequently.
he places an estimate upon tbs great house
with its intrinsic merits. and is careful TO
keep on hand a restorative aud promoter OF
health so implicitly TO be relied upon In
time of need.

How 10 Select q Turkey.

How to Select Turkey.
In this country only Is the turkey
found in a wild state. 1t is very fit
ting, therefore, that in the thanks
giving dinner it should be the princi-
pal dish, writes Maria Parloa in her
department in the Ladies Home Journal
The turkey must be wisely chosen
well cooked and properly served. 1T
should be short and plump, the meat
white, with some fat, the legs black
and smooth and if there be spurs
they should be short. The end OF the
breast bone should be flexible, more
like gristle than bone. A turkey that
is long in proportion to its size, and
has dark or BLUSH flesh, may be ten
der, but certainly will not be finely
favored and juicy. A dry picked
turkey will be found to have a much
better flavor than scalded one. All
poultry that is dry-picked costs few
cents a pound more than the scalded,
but is well worth the extra price.

Another Middle,

Ithas now leaked out, that the pub
llshed statement of the directors of
the Commercial Exchange to the
effect that the fifteen thousand dol
lars originally required to make sub.
scription binding had been raised,
" as not correct. 1t is said that fully
thirty-two hundred dollars of bona
fide subscriptions We're really needed
to make the full amount wanted. The
late secretary of the Exchange in his
report on subscriptions, recommend
ed that the soliciting of funds be coz
tinued until enough bonafide sub.
scriptiOns had been gotten to make
the fifteen thousand dollars. Some
who were directors at that time
thought the same way, but it seemed
that others who. were impatient, had
come 10 the conclusion that surbur-
ban lots were not selling as rapidly
as they would like to see them 90,
and SIS the Exchange was expected TO
bring people in by the car load every
day the thing ought to Ue started, so
the people were informed through the
press by the directors that the money
was up and would begin. Fhe sub
seribsrs arc finding out about this
matter and several refuse to pay any
thing more to the Exchange.
