HOW TO COOK 4 TURKEY.
Something Which Every Housewife Does
Not Know.


A successfully roasted turkey re.
quires three things. The bird must
be young and tender; it must be care.
fully drawn, stuffed and trussed, and
it must be roasted by n hot fire. Select
n young turkey. One that does not
weigh over six or seven pounds is gen
orally the best. Heavy birds are apt
to be old and coarse in flavor. The tur-
key should he drawn the day it is
killed, but it should be hung in n cold
place at least "a hours after it is killed.
One of the mistakes of the ignorant is
to leave the fat in the bird. All the lay
ers of fat under the skin of the breast
and on the inside of the bird that can
be reached must be taken out If it is
left in, it gives n strong flavor to the
flesh. 1t is not of any use to the cook.
but may be tried out for soap lat.
Chicken fat, on the other hand, though
it should he removed from the bird
when it is cooked, can be tried out for
cooking potatoes and other articles,
and is very fair substitute for olive
oil in salad dressing. The removal of
the oil bag in the tail of the bird is also
necessary, to prepare it for roasting.
This is u matter often forgotten, but
even this small portion of oil imparts
an unpleasant flavor to the turkey if
it is left in. Remove the tendons
from the drumsticks. Wipe the bird
off carefully, and prepare the stufiing of
dry bread crumbs. This is now pre-
ferred, as more delicious and more
wholesome than the moist dressing of
olden times. Take about two medium
sized loaves of bread. Rub them, after
breaking them apart, on coarse crater
until the inside is evenly crumbed. Lay
aside the outer dry crusts for drying
and sitting for dried bread crumbs to
be used for breading meats and GRO
quotes. Take the soft inner crumbs.
They should make a heaping quart.
Add a tablespoonful of salt, an even
teaspoonful of pepper, an even tea
spoonful of sage, two of summer
savory, and large teaspoonful of
minced parsley. Rub all these ingre.
dents in the bread crumbs, and add
half cup of butter. Rub this in, and
fill the inside and crop of the turkey.
Skewer the bird carefully. If this is
done properly it will not be necessary
to use n trussing needle, dredge it with
salt and pepper and then thickly with
-four. Put it in very hot oven on a
meat rack Dredge little flour in the
pan. When this browns, pour pint
of hot water under the turkey. Turn
the turkey, to brown it evenly, and
every Is minutes haste it with the
| liquor in the bottom of the pan. AS
this liquor boils away, add water from
the teakettle. 1t will take about an
hour and three-quarters for seven
pound turkey to roast. The best gravy
is made by boiling the giblets slowly
while the turkey is roasting, and by
mixing the liquor from them with the
drippings in the pan. The liver is the
only portion of the giblets saved. Chop
the liver and add it to the gravy, after
Swimming and seasoning it and thick
ening it with tablespoonful of -four

CORRECT STATIONERY.
Suggestions That VIII BE Appreciated by
Letter Writers.

Letter Writers.
Striking novelties in writing paper
are plaided, blocked and brocaded in
elaborate and not-to-be-commended
fashion. Pale tints are also popular
u delicate blue, pink and cream. Pale
gray, lettered with black or silver, is,
used for second mourning. Mono
grams grow smaller; they are inclosed
in ring not larger than ten-cent
piece, and frequently backed with
green or blue enamel. These are most
expensive designs. Long, narrow en-
vclopes are superseding the large
square ones for wedding and other invi-
tations, with, of course, the sheet to
correspond.
To seal a letter properly, one should
have an alcohol lamp, or roll of the
wax taper sold for the purpose, and still
air in the room. With the seal and en-
velope before you, turn one end of the
stick of wax rapidly over the flame,
not near enough to ignite it, until it is
creamy and ready to drop, then deity
rub 1t round and round over the point
OF the envelope flap until enough is de-
posted, when the dab of wax may be
held moment Immediately over the
flame. Then firmly press the seal into
IL. If drop Of the hot wax is first
placed under the point of the flap, the
seal will be less likely to break. Awell
cutseal willnever stick and practice will
insure a firm impression, with the wax
nodded neatly and evenly around the
seal. In all this, pray be careful! Blaz-
ing wax in some hands is dangerous.

from the lace of her gown catching fire

WHY THEY MEET.
Incidents That Show why Even the
Infirm Travel Far

Those who are suggesting that an annual
encampment Of the G. A. R. is too often
and likely to become an intolerable burden
upon the large cities Of the country should
attend some Of the reunions being held at
this encampment, and if they did not change
their minds they must be hard and sordid to
a degree The touching pathos with which
the old soldier narrates or hears, as the case
may be, the story of the demise of some old
comrade; the delight, the wild joy that bursts
from the lips and sparkles from the more
eloquent eyes upon the recognition Of COM
rades who have not met since being mustered
out. or since being separated on a bloody
field; the boisterous mirth, over the telling
of an escapade, or the enthusiasm of fighting
over old battles and describing thrilling scenes
of heroism. 1t is all enough to make the
blood course quickly through sluggish chan
nels and send roseate hues into faces rem
dered pallid by sickness or age In very
truthT-&Then the old soldiers get together in
these reunions they are again verhable bows
and they enjoy these gatherings more than
one can tell or conceive.
The ranks of the old soldiers are getting
thin, and those that are left have not so
many years in which to attend these land
able encampments, and he who would be-
grudge them this great enjoyment must be
heartlesS curmudgeon.
Some of the reunions yesterday were we'll
attended, but at others there were only the
Scr1ptural two or three gathered together
Nevertheless. even In these great joy was In
the midst. The small attendance Of some Of
the reunions was attributed by some Of those
present to the idea that many did not know
where to go, although guides containing the
information were distributed freely. These
