than their lords and masters have
often succeeded in doing.
A good knife of moderate size and
great sharpness is a necessity. The
platter should be placed near enough
to the carver to give her control OF it.
In roast pieces, such as loins, breast,
forequarters and the like, the butcher
should have been instructed TO sepa-
rate the joints so that carving may not
be impossible. In carving beef, NUT
ton, lamb and veal, thin, smooth, neat
slices are desirable. They should
always be cut across the grain, taking
care TO pass the knife through to the
bones of the meat.
In carving n leg of mutton the best
slices are obtained from the centre and
the next best from the broad end.
The pieces from the part next ths
knuckle are apt to be dry. \ sirloin
of beef yields its best slices from the
end near the tenderloin. Ii it is cut
through in this part, the pieces must
be fairly thick; if long thin slices are
desired it should be cut across.
Ia carving turkey or chicken, place
the head to the right, cut oil the wing
nearest, then the leg, and then the
second joint; then slice the breast un-
til rounded piece appears. Insert
the knife between that and the bone
and separate them; this is considered
the best part of the bird. Next comes
the "merrythought. After this turn
over the bird little and just below
the breast will be found the "oyster,
which can be separated as the inner
breast can be. The side bone lies be-
side the rump and the morsel can he
taken out without separating the whole
bone. Proceed in the same way with
the other side. Philadelphia Times.

OF affairs or conditions. 1t is not haZ-
arding much to say that III compar-
lson TO returns, the common or Oft
decried native COW is turning about as
many dollars into the Golfers of her
owners as Is this mixed blooded COW.
This very unsatisfactory state of affairs
Is owing to the unstable dairy iudg-
ment of the owner, who seeks to Sc
cure great results without pursuing
the onl y safe path-choice breeding of
likes, and coupling with it vigorous
selections. In his haste to secure
great results, the Jersey with her
smaller mess OF rich milk was mated
with the Holstein to secure Il flow of
both milk and fat; then the Ayrshires
contributed their blood, ana often the
Shorthorn was called into requisition
TO enrich along tie beef lines, and az
last the product of this high bred
mongrelism had no distinctive quality,
Tor the peculiarities that made each
breed OF sterling worth as n pure

themselves in antagonism, instead of
resulting in combining excellences.

garden. The currants and -gooseber-
ries are thinued TO six stems, taking
out the Oldest and leaving two of the
best of lust years new shoots. The
raspberries and blackberries are
thinned i'll the same way, only all the
old canes are cut out, and four of the
best of the new ones are left to fruit
the coming season. The canes are
cut TO five feet in length, and should
be tied TO stakes set in the middle of
each set. a good forkful of manure
may be spread about each plant, and
III the spring the land between the
rows should be plowed and cultivated
ut intervals during the summer, if fine
fruit is desired. New York Times.

'I fluid great difficulty in getting

with arms that conform 10 the stan

than n graceful, well-mOldel forearm
tackled on to thin, scrawny upper
arm.
CORRECTNESS Of form is not tho
only thing necessary for good arm.
The owner must possess the power of
expression with her arms. American
women are deficient in this as rule.
Those nationnlitie5 which show the
most expression in their arms are the
Spanish, French and Italians. The
warmest admirer of Sarah Bernhardt
would not claim that she had beauti.

divine Sarah ever appears ungninly

generally supposed"

over $4,000 has just been completed at
Uplands, the country place of Robert
Garrett, says the Baltimore Sun. The
buildings were all constructed under
the direct supervision of Mrs. Robert
Garrett, who, like many ladies in this
country and in England. has become
interested in poultry culture. The
poultry house is ali under one roo,
and IS over $50 feet long. 1t has three
turret towers, one at each end and
one in the centre. One of the towers
will be used for choice fowls, pigeon
lott being in the second story. The
feed will be kept in the other end
tower. A reception room, well fur
nished and equipped with library of
poultry literature, occupies the first
story of the centre tower, the second
story being the bedroom OF the poul-
try keeper. On the right OF the cen
tire tower are accommodations for
brooding 1000 "broilers" at one time.
