The cotton crop in this section was
never better. The plant is small, but
it is heavily fruited from top to bot
tom. If the fall is late one the
yield per acre will be as large as has
ever been known. Very little, if any,
injury seems to have been done cotton
by the drought.

Good Cookery.
s|]sss sssyss - 1855 ~
Copyrighted.

Mrs. Smith:-Your letter is but sam
pie OF several received. suggesting din.
Guilty In cooking turkey so 1t will not be
DRY. Tue complaint is a natural one for
the bird is not u juicy one. II requires
some skill to cook turkey just as ii
should be. as you have learned. A first
requisite is to lard 1t before it goes into
the oven.
Larding is really not difficult or expen-
sive. The necessary needles are pro-
cured for Il trilling cost, and il success
Is desired have the bacon as cold as pos
sibie. Lnrding is often very useful for
lean meat, poultry and game, and
greatly adds to their nourishing value.
Take great care to cut the strips of fat
pork or English bacon the same length
and thickness. Pull each through gently,
ana leave half out at each end. IL one
should break, when being pulled
through, take 1t out, and thread a fresh
piece through. A very useful length is
about two inches aud an eighth of an
inch In thickness. and ii must always be
little smaller than the needle. A very
short practice will make you quite clever
with this process.
Having larded the bird properly and
made 1t ready for the oven, be sure the
oven is hot when first put in; cook
smartly for at least fifteen minutes and
at the end of that time haste. Continue
to haste at brief Intervals, but you may
close the drafts and use less sharp oven
after the first period
The larding and basting are essential
III cooked In the ordinary style, but you
may escape the latter duty by using the
double baker, an excellent device for
inexperienced and many other cooks.

FOR A PRES ENT.
Silk Book That VIII be Appreciated by
Needle-women.

Silk Book That VIII be Appreciated by
Needle women. ,..
Philadelphia Telegraph.
When planning your gifts for the
Christmas season, now so swiftly ap-
preaching, you can make few articles
more appreciated by the maker of
pretty fancy work than a silk book.
Every needle-woman knows the value
of case which can be relied upon to
keep her silks smooth and in order.
The foundation of this one consists Of
two pieces OF heavy cardboard. the
materials are linen embroidered in any
effective design, and two pieces of white
tape.
The boards should first be cut 10
inches in length by Ga wide; then the
linen into a strip 10 inches long by IL
wide, when each end of the strip should
be turned over for depth Of 215 inches
and firmly creased. When SO much is
done, the chosen pattern should be
embroidered on the outer space be-
tween the two folds, which will form
the back, and upon each of the narrow
turned-over strips, leaving half inch
free all round to allow Of turning the
edges. .
When the embroidery is completed
anu pressed, the carQDoardS must be
laid on the under side, so that there
is quarter inch space between the
two when they should reach just to the
two folds and within half-inch of the
upper and lower edges of the linen. and
should he basted into place. AS next
step, white cotton cloth or muslin Is
cut to fit over the boards and is com
pletely covered with tapes running from
top to bottom and fastened at each end,
then interlaced with others running
the sides to produce checker.
board effect. When the tapes have
all been made secure, the cloth is
to be stretched over the cardboards and
basted, after which the upper and
lower edges of the linen are turned
ever and caught to them with invisible
stitches, and the ends are turned over
as marked, and also caught firmly into
place. When thv whole is folded in the
centre, it takes the form of an attrac-
tive booklet, and the skeins of silk can
be run under the uppermost lines of
tapes with large bodlsin.

Plans OF the Queen Anne's Railroad Com
papy.
Denton, Md, Dec. 7.-Officials of
the Queen Anne's railroad except to
develop coed traffic to New York via
Lewes, thence by boat. Years ago
there was an extensive business in
freight and passenger transportation
over the water route. 1t is thought the
new line will afford fruit growers living
near Queen Anne's road cheaper and
more satisfactory way of reaching the
New York market. At present there is
no way Of freighting fruit to the
Northern markets from most Peninsula
points except by the all rail route, on
which rates, when fruit sails at low
price, are frequently prohibitory. When
the railroads extension to Love Point
is built there will be about 10 miles of
fine fruitgrowing teri itory made Access
sible to the New York market by the
new line. On December 10th the
steamer Iris will begin semi-weekly
experimental trips.
Nearly all the preliminary work of
the survey of the Love Point extension
has been made and no serious opposi
tion to the securing of right OF way is
anticipated.

The Only Brother of Nicholas Heir to the
Sceptre. q

The Only Brother of Nicholas Heir to the
sceptre.
| New York Journal. az
| To Grand Duke Michael Alexsn-
drovitch, the only brother Of the Czar,
will come the Russian soeptre should
Nicholas die.
Michael is only % years old this
month. He became Ozarowitz, or heir
apparent, upon the death of his brother
George, who was the second son Of the
late Emperor Alexander III.
| Michael inherited the strength Of
body of his father, being the most
robust Of the three sons.
Michael, like his brother Nicholas,
has comparatively liberal ideas. He is
we'll disposed toward the Firms. He
has travelled extensively and profited by
what he has seen.
The Czarowitz must not marry q
Roman Catholic. and for this reason
his choice of a wife must be made
within a limited circle.
1t was reported in the fall that
Wedding was to be arranged for him
| with Princess Margaret, daugh'e Of
the Duke OF Connaught and nd
daughter of Queen Victoria.
The marriage is one eminently proper,
| as far as purposes of statecraft CO. Il
is one of which Emperor Nicholas, the
| Queen of England and Kaiser Wilhelm
would approve. The only obstacle to
| it lies in the heart of Michael himself,
who is in love with his cousin, the
Grand Duchess Helen, daughter of
Michael's uncle, the Grand Duke
| Vladimir. sl.{
| The little Helen, because Of her in
fatuation with the Czarowitz, Tilted
Prince Max of Baden and spurned the
hand of Prince Louis Bonaparie, as
well as those of Prince Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, King Alexander Of Seryia and
number Of other rulers. The Russian
church forbids the marriage of cousins.
The Grand Duchess Helen has a
violent temper as we'll as q will of her
own. When things have failed to please
her she has been known to pour boiling
water over her governess. Her mother
has temper of the same kind.
Princess Margaret of England is very
anxious to become the wife Of the
Czarowitz. She is pretty and attrac-
tive. with the typical Guelph face, moi
particularly strong. s
