MEMORIES OF KENILWORTH

Scottish American.
Kenilworth-noW a crumbling ruin
has been in turn a baronial strong
hold, an historical fortress, and a mag
nificent castellated dwelling. Princes
have toasted in its halls and kings Ian
guished in its dungeons. Its feudal
glories and regal splendors, however,
have long since departed. It's once
lofty towers lie buried beneath the
green turf; and sheep feed peacefully
to-day where heroes fought-"now, in
deadly earnest of siege and storm, and
now in games of chlvalry, and beauty
dealt the prize which valor won"
Wall flowers blooming profusely, and
filing the air with sweet perfumes,
spring from ledge and crevice of the
massive walls from which the royal
banner of England has proudly floated,
and the standard of rebellion been Of
ten defiantly unfurled during the
stormy and turbulent reigns of the
Plantagenets al Tudors. Ivy and
briers clothe what time and devastating
hands have left of the mighty struc-
ture, once the home of kings and
mobiles. The irritating sound of a bar
rel organ grinding away in the neigh
boring village breaks in most incon-
gruously on a scene for centuries asso-
ciated with bugle call and trump of
war The destruction of romance,
however. is the price we pay for mod
kernization. So ground once traversed

The Pleasance, in which tradition
says Queen Elizabeth took great de-
light, and where romance has pic
tured her listening to the gallantries

den and orchard. Sir Walter Scott
also speaks of the i1l-rated Amy Rob-

of her meeting with the Queen in one
of its grottos.

Ter Is small affair, but very del;-
cious.
Turkey in the White House has al
ways been cooked one way. 1t is
stufed with bread crums, then roasted
In the oven by laying it upon it's
breast. This is a trick practical by
many famous turkey chefs. No matter
how often the turkey is basted it is
always returned to the breast, so that
the juices OF the pan and of the bird
ooze into the breast and the meat be-
comes very rich. Five minutes before
being taken out, the turkey is laif
upon its back and the breast is
Drowned, after which it is again laid
In It's gravy to moisten. For MANY
years it has been brought to the table
by the fair hands of a member of the
family. Turkey would not be turkey
without the final home touch.
Epicures who frequent hotels for

invariably ask for turkey with larded
breast. The Harding is done in this
way: Small strips of pork are placed

are larger than a bodkin The lard
ing needle is thrust into the breast and
withdrawn, leaving the strip of pork
there. This is repeated at intervals oe
half an inch until the entire breast is
we'll larded. The turkey is then
stuffed and roasted as usual. The
;c ,,1,, vii
Emperor Wilhelm long ago had his
hunting preserve stocked with wild
turkey. These he shoots before the
autumn feast and has served with a
very highly spiced stuffing. The stuff
Ing is removed before the turkey i.
brought to table and only lis flavor
remains to permeate the turkey These
who would like to try the Kaiser's
bird can make a stufing Of half bread
erums and half sausage meat. to which
Is added liberal sprinkling Of white
pepper. This rule makes very pal
atable dressing, which is eaten by
many.
The Tammany braves. at their pri-
vate banquet. long since invented \
turkey which is known as theirs. 1t is
nicely fattened bird, stuffed with
celery.
1t must be remembered that in pre-
pairing a turkey it can be made either
very good or very bad The latter will
be the case if the turkey is roasted
long and hard without flavor or spice.
But If nicely Drowned, with salt pork
and dressed with good tnin,,s, the
American turkey is an American cul-
mary triumph.

THE BIGGEST 70N
ENGLAND IS TO CI
It Was Built as Spite Tower to Spy Upon
the Grounds of the Late Sir Henry Edwards.

tower to let. 1t is one of the most not
able structures in the world. 1t stands
on the outskirts of the borough. overlook
ing the picturesque Calder Valley. and its
name is known thereabout as Wainhouse' 5
monument, so called after the builder.
The most remarkable thing about this
tower is that there is no practicable use
for it. There it stands in the valley, a
magnificent structure that can be seen
for miles around, yet useless, OF late its
owners have advertised. "A tower to let"
and numerous people have journeyed to
see 1t, but all of them come away with
a shake Of the head.
It's history is of no little interest. 1t

ORIGIN OF A TIME-HONORED
PHRASE.

The doornail in earlier times was the
plate Of the door upon which the old
fashioned knocker struck to arouse the
inmates of the house. AS the plate or
nail was struck many more times than
any other it was assumed to be more
dead than any other nails. Hence the
phrase Dead as doornail." If the
old ideas are to be revived, as now
seems possible, the phrase may soon
have a present application.

CUPID IN DISGUISE.

From the Penny Magazine.
Sweet Cupid sat on a messy bank
With tear in his round blue eye,
His wings were dragged with silver dew,
And his culver and bow flung by.
The butterflies came from the garden near
And perched on his dimpled toes
And a honeybee slipped at his crimson lip
And thought it an opening rose.
Not an arrow went to its mark to-day,
/ wasted them ALL he sighed.
"My wings and my curls too well they
know,
So the men and the maidens hide.
My mother must clip my pinions close,
And must braid my locks of gold,
And Ill borrow the frock Of damsel fair
My ro-eate limbs to fold
So now no more in the f1owery field
Or the wood where the thrushes sing
Do we hear the patter of naked feet
Or the sweep OF an airy wing.
He has stolen the gown Of a pretty girl,
AND her hat with its dropping plume
And a cluster of velvety violets blue
From his breast to shed Perfume
He has donned her veil with its broidered
edge,
And her gloves of the palest gray,
And he hides his bow in her fluffy fan
Before he goes out to Stay.
He has clipped his wings and braided his
curls,
But beware of his roguish eyes.
For sly little Cupid is still the same
In spite of his new disguise.

THE MA, WHO DOES THE WORK.
From the Century.
This life is strain and struggle;
We are born to a world of care,
And of all the scurries and woes and wor-
ries
I've had a bit more than my share
It's idle to say that It's even,
And there's no such thing as chance.
!, Though one has trouble. another has
double:
One scrapes for the other to dance.
And some they whine and they whimper-
That's the kind that will never be missed
For honest labor there's always a neigh
Dor
To lend him helping fist.
This much I have learned for my comfort:
It's never worth while to shirk;
Blow east, blow west, the world wags
best
For the man who does the work.
NEW ORLEANS IN 1855.
CWritten by Ella Wheeler Wilcox during

A queen of incidence and grace,
ROBBED in the remnants of a costly gown.
She turns the languor of her lovely face
Upon progression with lay frown;
Her throne is built upon marshy down;
Maarial MOSES wreathe her, like old lace
With slim. crossed feet, unshod and bare
and brown.
She sits Indifferent to the worlds swift
race.
Across the seas there stalks an ogre grim;
Too listless she for even fears alarms
While frightened nations rally in de-
fense
She lifts her smiling Creole eyes to him.
And reaching cut her shapely, unwashed
arms,
She clasps her rightful lover-pesti-
lence.
