CARVING THE TURKEY.
The Proper Way to Take the Fowl to
Pieces.

The Proper Way to Take the Fowl to
Pieces.
Free the ends of the drumsticks from
the body. Place the turkey on the
platter with the head at the left. I'm
less the platter be very large, provide
an extra dish, also a fork for serving.
Insert the carving fork across the mid
die of the breastbone. Cut through
the skin between the breast and the
thigh. Bend the leg over, and cut off
close to the body and through the
Joint. Shave off the breast in thin
slices, slanting from the front of the
breastbone down toward the wing
joint. Tip the bird over slightly, and
with the point of the knife remove the
oyster and the small dark portion
found on the side bone. Then remove
the fork from the breast and divide the
leg and wing. Cut through the skin
between the body and the breast and
with a spoon remove portion of the
stufing. Serve light or dark meat
and stuffing, as preferred If carved
in this way, the turkey will be left
with one-half entire, and if placed on a
clean platter, with the cut side nearest
the carver, and garnished with parsley,
will present nearly as fine an appear
ance, to all but the carver, as when
first served. When there are many to
be served, take off the leg and the
wing from each side and slice the
whole of the breast before removing
the fork, then divide as required.
1t is pleasant to see woman carve,
if she does it deity; there seems to be
something appropriate and almost
scriptural in a woman dispensing food
to her household. English women
nearly always carve, but in this coun-
try the work is almost invariably rele-
gated to the men. To save strength,
time and patience in carving it is abso-
lutely necessary to have sharp knife.
As general rule cut across the grain.
A turkey should be placed with the
head toward the right hand of the
carver. The breast is generally cut in
slices parallel to the breastbone; but if
the turkey is large, first cut the wings
off close to the body and then cut
across A good way to keep knife
perfectly sharp, and make your hus-
band think you give him the tenderest
joints, is to use a rifle" such as the
farmers sharpened their scythes upon.
A few turns on this will give an edge
that will cut through anything.-Good
Housekeeping.

lingo PRAYERS.
From n. o. States.

From n. o. States.
In view of the jingoism recently
INDUCED in by the chaplains of
legislative bodies, especially in
Washington and Alabama, the
suggestion has been made that it
would not be amiss to have form
of prayer prescribed for them
which will not give Offense to
foreign nations or needlessly en-
barrass the home administration.
Indeed, good many people think
that the chaplain's offices might
with advantage be abolished alto
gether. 1t is quite safe to say that
not one member in every hundred
listens to the invocation and that
this one is not thereby morally
benefited a little bit.

EPIDEMIC OF MAD CATS.
Their Bite Harder TO Treat Than That of
Mad Dogs.


Mad Dogs.
An epidemic in Paris of "enraged
CATS" as the French call them, has
called forth some interesting state
ments from DIR. Chaillou, the director
of the anti-rabies staff at the Pasteur
institute in that city, where from l, 500
to /, 500 persons bitten by mad animals
are treated annually Contrary to
the popular belief" he says, ''cats go
mad frequently, and about per cent.
of the cases we treat are caused by
bites inflicted by them. Horses and
other domestic cattle are rarely sub
ject to madness.
1.-THE bites of cats which have gone
mad are generally serious and difficult
to treat for two reasons. First, the
teeth of the cat are fine and sharp,
and the wounds they make are deep,
introducing the virus into the system
thoroughly. The dog, on the other
hand, has larger, blunter teeth, which
tear rather than penetrate. Cauteriz-
alton is excellent if done Immediately
in the case of dog bite, but when the
wound is caused by cats teeth it is
impossible to cauterize more than the
edges, while parts below the surface
remain impregnable with the virus.
SIN the second place, the dog bites
at the hands or legs of the person he
attacks, and not often at the face,
while the cat almost always attacks
the face first for it can jump more
easily and clings with its claws to the
clothing. Bites in the face are much
more dangerous because of the proxi-
nifty of the point of entrance of the
virus to the nerve centers, it having
much shorter distance to traverse than
if it entered the body through wound
upon the legs or arms.
zone thing which makes a cat much
more dangerous when it goes mad is
that it seems to become furious and
attacks whatever it sees, while dog
frequently will crouch in a corner and
seem to be subject to sort of partial
paralysis"
Among cats, another authority says,
insanity is most frequently brought
about by indigestion, which causes a
congestion of their feeble brains The
reason they have commissions moro
frequently in hot weather is that the
heat of the direct rays of the sun is
especially difficult for them to endure.
The Angora cat is the species most
likely to become mentally disordered,
for it is continually making its toilet
and swallows great many of its long
hairs, which form ball in its stom-
ach and cause cerebral congestion.
This has been established by number
of autopsies which have been made
upon this variesy of felines.-N. Y.

WRITTEN IN THE SKY.
A Monogram Signal Which May BE Used
on Land or Water.

The electric monogram signal is a
sort of typewriter delivering its mes
sage, letter by letter, in midair, or at
any distant point in gigantic characters
of light. The observer may be miles
away and yet read the message with
ease.
The keyboard is manipulated pre-
cisely as in an ordinary typewriter,
and its function is to switch in, or di-
rect, the current through a series of
distributing wires, which are carried
in a cable to the monogram or display
frame. According to predetermined
scheme the keys exercise a selective
function and each one switches in the
leading wires only, which connect
with the members of the monogram
constituting the letter OF the alphabet
which that particular key represents.
By reference to the monogram one
may easily trace any letter of the al
phabet in form so nearly conventional
as to be readily understood. Thus if
on the keyboard the A button is
pressed, the lamps of all the members
of the monogram entering into
that letter shine out simultaneously,
while all other lamps upon the display
frame remain dead. And so on, for
every letter.
The observer has only to follow the
letters as they flash out one after an
other to spell out the words of the mes
sage. 1t will be seen that this is a sort
of visual telegraph, and that it may be
made to talk in almost any language
spoken by man. 1t is also serviceable
for cipher writing according to any
prearranged code. The monogram
frame is five feet high by three and
one-half feet wide, equipped with To-
candle power lamps. Signals flashed
from this frame are visible to the naked
eye for distances from one to three
miles, depending on the weather
With a glass the signals may be easily
read up to ten miles. Some frames are
made much larger and can be seen
farther. -Electrica Review.
