Select young turkey, ten pounds
in weight; SINCE, draw and wash quick
ly in cold water. Wipe dry with a
towel. Then season inside with half
a tablespoonful salt. Fill the crop and
body with forcemeat. Sew up, twist the
wings over its back, run skewer
through the thighs into the body.
Pass string across the back of the
bird, crossing it below the breast, then
catch it over the point of the skewer,
cross the string again and tie it en- the
back.
( Rub one tablespoonful salt all over
the turkey and lay in roasting pan.
Spread two ounces butter over the
breast, then place the pan in medium
hot oven TO roast. Turn often and
haste freely with its own gravy till the
bird is light brown on all sides. Add
one cupful boiling water; continue to
roast, basting frequently till done,
which will take about two and hall
hours. Or you may allow fifteen min
utes to a pound.
Place the giblets in a saucepan over
the fire; cover with cold water, add
half teaspoonful of salt. When it
boils add one onion and cook till done.
Shortly before serving lay the turkey
on a warm dish, remove threads,
skewers, also the fat from the gravy.
Mix one tablespoonful cornstarch
with one gill of cold water, add it to
the gravy, stir this over the fire and
cook two minutes. Add sufficient
giblet broth to make creamy sauce;
stir and boil FIVE minutes; then strain;
chop the giblets fine, add them to the
sauce and serve.

1t is c curious fact that there are

alike are fond Of alcoholic drinks, and
although some display aversion when

craving for it. Chickens and ducks,
after having once tasted brandy. be-
come absolute slaves to the drink.

animals frequently become intoxicated,
innocently enough, through eating de-
cayed fruit. In orchards, oxen and
cows, after eating overripe apples, have
been seen to display all the symptoms

the development Of their intelligence.
Elephants are fond Of wine and rum,

Insects have many opportunities to be-

Made By the Irish Athlete, Prof. New
burn OF Dublin.
Followers Of athletic sports have
been startled by the wonderful broad
jumping performances In Ireland and
England Of W. J. NJ. Nowburn. This
ithlste now holds the best on record of
The world, twenty-fcur feet six and
lhree-quarters inches, which he made
1t Mullinger. Ireland, recently. This
s SO far in advance Of anything which
ne most celebrated running broad
Jumpers Of the world have ever done
hat it could scarcely be believed.
Had II not been for the fact that this
great athlete cleared over twenty-four
teet In public six times last summer
IN different grounds and under differ
snt conditions 1t is doubtful II on this
tide of the Atlantic athletes would ad-
nit the genulneness of his best per-
lormanee. There are only about eight
jumpers who have ever cleared twenty
three feet or over in this country,
Great Britain and Australia. When It
Is considered that Newburn leads the
whole field by nearly foot his ability
Fan all the more be appreciated New
burn stands feet 6 inches In height
and weighs 20s pounds. His chest
measures % inches. thigh 25t1 inches,
and calf 16 inches. Newburn starts
with his run about 15o feet back from
the take-off, and approaches rather
slowly a certain mark, about ninety
feet away from the take-off. On arriv-
Ing at this mark he has given enough
momentum to his body to have quick
ened his speed. which he does after
getting the foot with which he jumps
at this mark His strides after leaving
this mark increase In length as his
speed increases, and the last three or
four measure over ten feet In length,
for by this time he is going at his ut
most speed The stride just In front
OF the take-off is not over seven feet
long, for he must gather himself slen
for the jump. and II he put his jump
Ing foot too far in front of him he
would more or less retard his momen-
tum. When Newburn leaves the
ground he gets great rise and lit
orally sails through the air. Just be-
fore landing II would seem that his
feet were going to touch, when he
tucks them under him, and their being
handled SO gives the uninitiated an i'm
preston that he is taking a second
spring. Then when his head and
shoulders are so close to the ground
that he can postpone the inevitable no
longer he shoves his feet in front OF
him, and the momentum Of his whole
body carries him forward and pre-
vents falling back. Like nearly all OF
the best running broad jumpers, New
burn is fast Splinter and has been
credited with running 106 yards in ten
seconds. His stride when running his
fastest in this race is from 10 feet 3
inches TO 10 feet inches, and he is
the longest striding athlete ever heard
OF since athletic sport has been ehron-
lcled. He is a professor in Claremont
College, Dublin, and practices his ath-
letics solely for health. He lays par
tlenlar stress on the fact that he
neither smokes nor drinks. He writes
that he intends to come to America
during the summer holidays next year.

The Inside water Route.

The Morning News mas time and again
urged the importance OF the inside water
route along the Atlantic coast as an adj.
junct to the nationaI defenses. With the
exception of a few miles, there Is con-
tinuous succession OF sounds bays, rivers,
creeks and canals for nearly the entire
length of the coast These waterways
are for the most part now navigable 10
light draft vessels. With the expenditure
of a reasonable sum of money, an unbrok-
en- inside water route reaching from Bos-
ton to the capes of Florida could be open
ed. A year or two ago the torpedo boat
Gushing made a cruise of examination
through the inside route from Wash
ington to Biscayne Bay, with the excep-
ton of lap by open sea from Beaufort,
n. c. to Bulls Bay, s c. The trip was
slow and tedious. but it demonstrated the
practicabnity of an inland channel. The
advantages of such channel in the event
of emergency is too obvious to need com
ment
Attention Is drawn TO this matter by the
fact that the government has chartered
the Watervliet arsenal, by way of New
York. to the South through this inside wa
ter route. This means OF transportation
is safer than sending the heavy guns by
sea on sailing craft, as witness the recent
loss of two heavy guns off Tybee from
freighting schooner, and is cheaper than
sending them by rail. The barge in ques-

a cargo of 200 tons draws feet of water.
She viii be able to keep the inside route
from New York as far south as Beaufort,
n. g., at which point, according TO the
New York Times she will take the open
sea and proceed 10 Savannah, where she
Will take the inside route again. A part of
her load is destined for Dry Tortugas. but
her sea voyage will be ended at Savan-
nah.
The inside route between this city and
Port Royal needs only a little improve
ment to make it practicable for craft even
larger, and with considerably more draft
than this barge. The torpedo fleet recent
ly came through it without difficulty. 1t
has been intmated that Port Royal will

of trouble with Spain. In that event, it
is at once apparent of how much advant-
age it would be to have an inland channel
by which the coast defenders could drop
down to Savannah and beyond, or hurry
to Charleston, without being obliged to put
to sea for the trip; for what has been said
of the route from Port Royal to Savannah
is true also of it from the former port to
Charleston.
The Improvement of the inside route
would, by the way, be of almost incalcula-
BILE value in time of peace, as well as in
time of war, since it would open up to
cheap transportation the rich coast and
sea island farming lands.
