A Fascinating Fad.

One of the latest fads is the col
lection of portraits of noted peo-
pie; and a very fascinating fad it
is, also a profitable one, providing,
of course, it does not cost too
much. A new feature in Demo.
rests Family Magazine, CON-
menced in the April number, is
especially timely, and offers an
excellent opportunity for forming
a superb collection at minimum
expense. Two pages are devoted
to exquisite half-tone portraits of
celebrities, quite equal in effect to
fire photos, and about cabinet
size, which are printed so they
may be removed without mutila.
ting the Magazine and arranged
in an album especially designed
for the purpose. This is to be a
permanent feature; and those in
terested in making portrait col
lection should avail themselves of
this exceptional opportunity, as
the portraits furnished during the
year would cost quite 500 in
photo form.
1t is impossible to specify all the
brilliant attractions of the April
number. "The Santa Barbara
Floral Festival' ia exquisitely il.
Illustrated; "The Story of Lost
Letter" is also illustrated and gives
lots of information about the
United States Postal Service;
many noted people tell in "Helps
in Many Careers" what aided them
most toward success, and their
portraits are given with their opin-
ions; Society Fads" will interest
everybody; in "Home Art" there
is a goodly showing of Easter
gifts that can be easily made at
home; there arc some excellent
stories; and the children are not
forgotten. The frontispiece is a
charming half-tone, "The Angel
of the Resurrection" after a paint
ing by Carl Gutherz, and there is
an oil panel picture, Lilies and
Heliotrope," both of them beauti
full Easter souvenirs. There are
besides, over 500 illustrations

lily Magazine, and is published fol

poets for its early passage.
No fancy prices will be paid for
any of the land on which the bat
tie was fought, but the committee
will treat all alike. Parties who
own these lands that have not yet
given the committee options
should do so during the reunion.

joke and gave us a lecture through
his paper.

District of Hardin county, Tenn,
held on the 18th day of March
1894, the following resolutions
were adopted
Whereas, Hon, Il. ID. Patterson,
Judge of our Circuit and Criminal

pressed a determination in the flu
ture to impose a penalty of i'm.
prisOnment in addition to the fine

in his Court for carrying conceal

worship, and whereas, we believe
that such a policy would in very
short time, result in great benefit
to our county not only morally
but financially, be it therefore
Resolved, that the thanks ofOul
Society are rendered Judge Pat
terson for his efforts to protect
peaceable and law abiding citi
zens In their just rights under thu

Poultry for the Boston Market.

For Preparing, Packing and Shipping
Poultry for the Boston Market.
Killing and Dressing. Food in crop
injuries the appearance, is liable to
sour and purchasers object to paying
for this worse than useless weight;
therefore, keep from food twelve hours
before killing. Ali poultry, but more
especially turkeys, should be killed by
bleeding In the neck, and picked while
the body Is warm; and in no case
should poultry be scalded; wet picked
poultry Is not wanted in this market,
and will not sell for what it is really
worth. AS soon as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat.
strip the blood out of the neck, peel
back the skin a little, remove a portion
OF the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warm weather, draw the
skin over the end and tie and trim
neatly. Draw tie intestlnes, making
Ieava cision as small as POSSIBLE, and
ont the e gizzard, heart, etc. m: Pull
Undraw32g and tail feathers clean.
limited extent when there Is sRRtBG o t IL z
to be had, provided there is no food in
the crop, or entrails, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices.
Packing.-Poultry should be entirely
cold, but not frozen, before being
packed. If packed with the animal
heat in, it will be almost sure to spoil.
Sort your poultry carefully, and have
the No, 1 stock of uniform quality.
Pack the No. 2 stock in separate pack
ages. Ifyou have any old bull turkeys,
put them in a separate package or with
No. 2 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but never use straw in packing
and wrap the birds in paper. Pack as
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out straight, and see that the boxes are
so full that when the covers are nailed
on, there can be no possibility of the
contents shifting about. Boxes are
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger boxes
are inconvenient to handle, and more
liable to get injured
