Geese are sent into market at all

usually send their geese to market
unit they are too old to pluck without
fear of killing them. If the web OF the
feet is tender and the under part of
the bill breaks easily, the goose is
young and tender, but very few of that
age find their way to market. A goose
ranks among fowls as a hog among
animals, having the faculty of taking
on an abnormal quantity of fat. SINCE,
clean and dress the goose the same as
you would a turkey or chicken. The
intestines are larger than those of a
turkey and much fatter. The skin
should receive a good washing in clear
water before being stuffed. To make
the stufing take two cups Of mashed
white potatoes, one tablespoonful of
butter, one tablespoonful Of onion
juice, or grated onion if you like, one
teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls
of finely chopped celery, one-half
teaspoonful of pepper and one table
spoonful of juniper berries chopped
fine"
Epicures of the modern school all
know that the delicate flavor of the
priced canvas-back duck is due to the
fact that it feeds largely upon juniper
berries, and the colonial ladies dis
played rare knowledge when they
favored the dressing of the goose with
these berries
Another Thanksgiving dish highly
priced by colonial epicures was ham
baked in cider, and if the same deli
cacy We're prepared today it might
make the fortune OF some ambitious
chef. This is the way it was done q
hundred years back:
Wipe whole ham clean and put in
baking pan, skin side down, and
over the flesh sprinkle one-half a tea
spoonful each of pepper, cloves and
allspice and one-quarter of a teaspoon
full Of mace, and cover all with little |
onion juice. Into the bottom of the |
pan put sprig of celery, two bay
leaves and a slice of onion. Put a cup
Of flour in a bowl and add sufficient |
water to make a paste, cover the ham !
with the paste as far down as the |
skin and then turn into the pan two |
quarts CT cider. Put in hot oven and |
cook for three and one-half hours, |

A MEMORABLE DINNER

1t was Thanksgiving, and the first
lime that joyous occasion had fallen
since young Mrs. Lambkin had ac-
quired her matronly title. All the rel
atives on both sides of the house had
been invited to dine with the young
pair, and all had accepted. Conse-
quently, it was unfortunate that the
cook had, that morning, decided that
she couldn't abide no such doings"
and taken a triumphant leave
Mrs. Lambkin sat weeping among
the unwashed breakfast dishes when
her husband appeared, staggering I'M
der market basket laden with holi
day fare.
"Oh, Alpheus, my heart is brokenr
she walled. What will your mother
say?"
But, you know, you have been so
proud of your cookery, doubtless you
can prepare dinner yourself"
But 1 only told Laura how to do
it, sobbed his wife. why was

which another man drank. He was

They'll overlook things, anyhow"
"Alpheus, is your mother the woman
to overlook her daughter-in-law's mis-
takes?'' And Alpheus was silent.
However, by O'clock-dinner was
at 6-matters had progressed fairly
well. The turkey, somewhat 7ecked
with feathers, was in the oven; the
potatoes were on and a quantity Of
cranberry jelly had arrived from Mrs.
Lambkin's mother who was i'll and
unable to come herself.
No other vegetables are necessary"
remarked Mrs. Lambkin. Il once
read that cold slaw and canned to-
matoes were unwholesome anyhow"
Nobody wants more than turkey
with jelly and potatoes remarked her
husband, sagely.
Then there's the wedding cake and
fruit; we shall do finely"

"And put on the best china with the
prettiest linen. l only wish Laura
could see the dinner"
At 2 quarter past seven, Mr.. Lamb
kin cautiously opened the kitchen
door, finding his wife kneeling by the
stove
isn't the turkey done yet" he
hazarded, "they are all a little i'm
patient. Mother says, though, she
never knew anyone before who could
cook big dinner with no odor in the
house"
'Alpheus, that turkey will never be
doner'
"The man said it was tender"
Il know, but--but I forgot to light
any fire in the stove"
That Thanksgiving day was memoir

family as the one on which they dined

habit of referring to her son

shortcomings of men make nossih1e
want or suffering anywhere. Among
this people is the greatest personal
liberty. Broadcast Interpretation of the
rights OF the individual, highest as
plrations after comforts and luxuries
ana greatest general faith in the
promise and fulfillment of more ex-
allied condition of universal happiness
with this people, as with no other
people, are greater diversity of eli
mate, more varied yields of vegetation
and a wider range of employment for
the masses than is found anywhere
else upon the globe. In this country
men have need to their comfort to
employ less hours for labor and NAV
devote more time to enjoyment and
pleasure than their felIow-beings in
other lands.
Recalling these superior benefits our
people have cause indeed for
gratitude; not because they enjoy
privileges that would seem to be
denied others but for the reason
that their lines are cast in
. peasant places. The grateful heart
is best capable of approaching. and he
who remembers his blessings cannot
fail of according praise where praise

There are those who sorrow, because
from the beginning the laughter of the

hearts made desolate; but there is the
/ universal promise OF comfort to the
mourner. At this season of the year
the once green leaves are sered fallen

Between now and the 2Sth of this
month six millions of young, old and

lives to afford this great nation an OPP
portunity to return thanks in be-
fitting manner. Twelve millions OF
quarts Of cranberries will be consumed
for the same reason. Enough pie will
be baked and eaten to pave a hundred
miles of roadway.
When the Pilgrim fathers and moth

DELEGATES OF OLDEN FEASTS

If we go back to the days Of Queen
Elizabeth, only short time previous
to the Plymouth thanksgiving cooked
in the woods, we shall find some curl
GUS dishes in vogue. There was

soused turkey, boiled in white wine
and vinegar and soaked for month !;

but made of cold fowl chopped up
with flour, currants, eggs, cream, etc.,
and then fashioned into the form of
pears and baked. Among the delica-
cies of the age can be enumerated ON
elets of mallow stalks, cheese made of
ounces. hartshorn jelly. stalks of tu-
lips cooked like pears, apple syrup and
candied fruits.-CEristian Work

the remains Of preserves and syrup
or the lees of the wine not quite clear
for drinking. Everything helps. The
pastry for mince pie should be almost
puff paste. Give a small piece, but
have it fine.
Plum pudding has the great advan-
tage of requiring very little care aft ar
once made. You only need to keep
the kettle beside it full of water and
fill your pot as the water boils down.
Take three-quarters of a pound OF
bread crumbs. three-quarters of a
pound of suet chopped fine, three
quarters of a pound of currants, three
quarters of pound of well-chopped
apple, one grated nutmeg, two ounces
of candied lemon peel, the rind and
juice of one lemon and two ounces OF
candied orange peel; citron will do
though not so we'll.
Boil five hours and eat with wine
sauce. Pour brandy over it immedi-
ately on its arrival at the table. Set
it on fire, and, if you like it strong
add the brandy to your taste. If yor
use wine you will need no advice as
to its serving. Almonds, raisins anC
fruit form a very social part of the

PROFESSIONALISM IS RUINoUs.
Proving Injurious to the True Sporting
Spirit in England.

Professionalism is driving the sport
ing spirit out Of England altogether
Our young men, says Today, used
to be players of games; now they are
only gaping spectators at a shilling or
sixpence a head. They cannot play
cricket; they have to hire a set of men
to play it for them, while they sit
around and shout. They have only
muscle and pluck enough to carry
them through the gate of a football
field and to enable a few thousand of
them who have lost their wretched
half crowns to attack the referee. The
game itself is played by a set Of pro-
fessional rOwdies who do not care a
toss Of d halfpenny whether they win
or lose, provided the takings are big.
England hires SCotchmen to play foot
ball for her against Scotland, and TINS
contemplate piece Of tomfoolery is
dignified by the name of sport. With
the exception of the university boat
race, there is not a bit of fair and
honest sport left in England 1t is like
our precious mCrality-all talk and no
fact. The whole system is a disgrace

Thanksgiving Porridge.
SHARE YOUR JOY WITH OTHERS

The pilgrim Colonists shared the
first Thanksgiving feast with Massa
soft and his ninety Indians. We should
invite to ours not only those near and
dear to us, but some of those others
who would eat it in solitude if we did
not remember them. To many minds
this will seem an almost unjustifiable
sacrifice of the coZiness of the family
party. The blessedness of giving and
of giving something more than of our
material substance will compensate
for it. Those who have never known
what it is to be alone in the world or
even temporarily divided from their
own kindred cannot conceive what it
is to the solitary ones to be welcomed
into a home. A far more substantial
benefit would not give a 1.-THE of the
pleasure that is felt when lis doors I'M
close to them.-EXchanG

THANKSGIVING A JOYOUS DAY.

Thanksgiving, unlike Christmas, is
not especially the children's day. 1t
is time for the reunion of families, IN
which, of course, the children are in
Guided, but they do not occupy the
chief place, as at their own festival.
But we all desire to make the specie
holidays bright spots in the lives o.
the children. The peculiar features of
each should be emphasized so that az
they come round in after years they
will bring with them something of the
old childish joyousness, which no
lapse of time can wholly deprive them
Of if they have been surcharged with
it in early life.-Ladies' Home Jour-
