the rice carefully with fork to let the

the tomatoes which were left, season
them quite highly with salt and pepper,

LOCATING HE BED.
A Task Requiring the Exercise of Consid-
cradle Judgment


There is considerable difference of
opinion as to the necessity to the health
Of sleeping in bed placed north and
south. The old-fashioned idea that the
currents of electricity going from pole
to pole affect the sleeper is now sup
posed to be superstition.
Yet the habit that most of us have
acquired of placing our beds wherever
1t is possible with the head to the
north will probably cling to us. One
thing, however, that is of Importance
is that the bed should not be placed
against the wall, but should be accessi-
bio on both sides. The old fashion of
placing the bed in an alcove, which
cannot be ventilated as we'll as large
room, is considered to be an unhygienic
one. An excellent reason why bed
should not be placed against the wall
is that the person who sleeps at the
rear of the bed is likely to have his
face, during sleep, so near the wall
that his breath, striking the wall, will
be rebreathed again.
So large a portion of existence Is
necessarily spent in sleep that the To-
cation of the bed, the bed covering and
bedding and the furniture of the bed
room should be the subject Of consid-
Grafton and thought. AS 1t is, too
often this is the last room considered.
In many families good-sized closet,
with no opening into the outer air, is
considered good enough for bedroom.
Not only should the bedroom be thor
oughly ventilated and exposed to the
rays of the sun, if this is possible, but
the bedclothing should be taken Off
and hung in the air and sun for several
hours before the bed is made up. The
fashion of the double bed is rapidly
passing out of use. Where two per-
sons occupy the same room two single
beds, or twin beds placed side by side,
take its place, for two persons can
rarely sleep together without one of
them feeling Ill effects. 1t is a most
injurious practice for child to sleep
with an adult, but it is equally bad for
a strong, vigorous child to sleep with a
delicate, nervous one. The stronger
person may sometimes draw strength
from the weaker, but usually this is
reversed, and the more vigorous person
is the sufferer.-N Y, Tribune.

these pests. One was industriously
boring into the ear of my little daugh-

the back of the hand of my wife, and
third fastened on to my hand, and in
each case inflammation had set up as
the result of the boring of the insect.
All these specimens were minute black
specimens, resembling splinters OF

specimen of the tick, which had
commenced operations upon my head
and at the back of my ear. This fel.
low had SO firmly attached himself tc
my skin that it was necessary to use
force to remove him. He was of
light brown, was of the shape and
about the same size as the common
house bug, and his legs were armed
with barbs, which fully accounted for
the tenacity which he possessed.

Some of Their Peculiar Habits and Co.'S

Corean women to the western eye,
are both hideous and ungainly, whereas
the men and young boys are often
handsome and picturesque. There is
neither grace nor elegance in the fe-

spects resembles that of the Chinese,
and consists of loose pair of trousers
reaching to the ankle, tied round the
waist with a thick cord, on the top OF
this is worn a short petticoat reaching

The Allotted Time For Czars.

The czar has reigned for nearly four
teen years. This has been, it is worth
noting, the average length of Russian
reign since the beginning of the seven
teenth century. Since about the same
date the average length of Spanish
reign has been twenty-one years, of an
Austrian reign twenty-six years, of a
Prussan thirty years, and of British
reign thirty Or thirtyfive years, accord
ing as George l is included or excluded.
Royal mortality in Russia is higher,
too, than in France, where the last six
eovereigns reigned, on an average,
twenty years each, although one Of
them was guillotined, one transported
to st. Helena, one deposed and one
forced to abdicate. Pail Mall Gazette.

THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
How to Prepare tho Bird for the Oven
Toothsome Dressing.

HOW 10 Prepare tno firu 1or tne OVon-
Toothsome Dressing.
Draw the turkey and rinse with sew
eral waters. Prepare a dressing of
bread crumbs, mixed with butter, pep
per, salt, thyme and wet with hot
water or milk. Add the beaten yolks
of two eggs. Mince dozen oysters
and stir into the dressing, and, If you
are partial to the taste, wet the bread
crumbs with the oyster liquor. Fill
the body of the turkey, and sew it up
with a strong thread. Dredge 1t with
flour before roasting, and baste often,
say every fifteen minutes; at first with
butter and water, afterward with the
gravy in the dripping-pan. After lay
ing the turkey in the pan, put in tea
cup Of hot water. Many roast always
upon a grating placed in the pan. In
that case the boiling water steams tho
under part of the fowl, and prevents
the skin from drying too fast or crack
ing. Roast to fine brown, and II it
threatens to darken too rapidly, lay
sheet Of white paper over 1t until the
lower part is also done. Stew the
chopped giblets in just enough water
to cover them, and when the turkey is
lifted from the pan add these with the
water in which they were boiled to the
drippings. Thicken with spoonful OF
Drowned -four, wet first with cold wa
ter to prevent Jumping; boil up once
and pour into the gravy boat. If the
turkey is very fat, skim the drippings
well before putting in the giblets.
Serve with cranberry sauce. Some al
ways lay fried oysters in the dish
around the turkey. In roasting, II
your fire is brisk, allow about ten min.
utes to a pound; but it will depend
largely upon the turkeys age whether
or not this rule holds good. Home.
