HOW TO CARVE A TURKEY.
The Art Made Plain For the Press
ident of the Feast.

- USTOM has made it usual here
81 abOuts to eat turkey for our
49, Christmas dinner, and accord
ingly the festive bird will
grace many table. But it is not ev-
erybody who knows how to carve a
turkey, and the hints given here may
help many a bewildered man to so de-
mean himself that the ordeal may not
disgrace him in the eyes of the wife Of
his bosom, as well as of those guests
who may be present at his board.
Have the turkey resting upon his
back. Put the two tined fork in about
an inch in front of the peak of the
breastbone, where it will sink into a
hollow formed by the peculiar con-
formation of the breastbone. The bird
is then held firmly while the carving
is being done.
The first thing to do is to take off the
legs at the second joint. Gut down
alongside the leg and bear outward a
little. with the knife set well in.
The knife is inserted above the leg,
and after making an incision it is
pressed outward. The second joint
then parts easily from the body. Aft
er both legs are removed in this man
ner the wings should be cut off, the
knife being used on practically the
same principle as that employed in re-
moving the legs.
The next point for the skillful carver
is to separate the "drumstick," or first
joint, from the rest of the leg. This is
done by fixing the fork in the second
joint Of the turkey. Then an incision
is made at the joint, and the end Of
the leg is then pressed down with the
knife.
The breast of white meat is now at
tackled. The fork is again placed over
the breastbone in the original position,
and slices are removed from the breast.
The slcing should commence near the
peak of the breastbonc, the cuts being
taken thinly, the knife held horizontal
~ and the cuts extending downward
toward the wings. After the meat has
been taken from both sides of the tur-
keys breast in this fashion the knife
is inserted transversely behind the lit
tie projection on the breast between
the peak and the neck. This is formed
by the ''wishbone,' - or merry thought"
The knife slips easily between this and
the breastbone, so that the ''wishbone"
is easily removed, carrying with it a
liberal portion of white meat. The re-
moval Of the ''wishbone'' makes a con
venient opening into the interior of the
turkey, through which a spoon may be
inserted for the removal of the tasty
dressing.
Nothing now remains but the car
cass Of the turkey, and the only task is
to disj0int it. This is done by first re-
moving the breastbone. By means Of
the fork the peak Of the bone is raised
and swung over toward the neck, dis
jointing it near the base of the latter.
The neck, if desired, can be removed,
leaving only one more portion of the
bird to be dealt with. This is the back
bone.
The backbone is broken about three
inches above the tail, and there you
are. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of your tur-
key is now complete.

LEGENDS ABOUT THE s
FLORAL EMBLEM {

"a Up ISTLETOE, associated with
EWEE both comedy and tragedy,
kW E owes it's elevation to the
glory of prominent Christ
mas decoration to the relics of Druid
ical superstition and again, even fur
Their back, to traditions Of Morse my
thology, in which it played an impor
tant part
Long before kissing was invented or
ballads were made and sung the mis-
tletoe was a sort of fetch and is as
capricious as most heather deities, in
asmuch as it has a marked preference
in the choice Of a tree to grow upon,
the oak, the larch and the pear being
the least favored, while it loves the
poplar, hawthorn, lime, maple, noun
tain ash and, first and foremost of all,
the apple tree. 1t roots firmly, grows
slowly, gradually stiles the tree it en-
braces and then dies ITSELF In ancient
lore it had rare medicinal virtues, but
these have found oblivion with the
lapse Of time.
Morse fables tell us that Baldur, the
bright and the beautiful, the god Of
light, was regarded with jealousy by
some Of the other deities, and Friga, to
protect him, made everything in heav-
en- and earth swear to do him no
harm. But disregarding the mistletoe
as being so slight and weak she omit
ted her precaution in it's case. Loki,
the malevolent fire god, seiZing this
chance, bewitched twig of mistletoe
till it sWelled to the size of spear
and, slyly giving it to blind Hodur,
when they were at play.
It struck Baldur and killed him, but
Friga miraculously restored him to life
and thereafter guarded the mistletoe,
which the gods at her pleading decided
should be unable to do any mischief
again unless it touched the earth. For
this reason it always hung on high, and
the vigilant goddess was propitiated by
a sign of amity and good will.
Many of the most important rites of
the Druids were performed in connec-
ton with it, and today men and maid
ems hold that it constitutes a sanction
for salutes that might otherwise be
too daring. Yet the old mysterious
glamour of it's power to harm still
clings to it and imparts touch Of SUI
perstitious witchery to the tragic fate
of the gay young bride who, mad with
merriment hid in the oak chest that
proved her tomb.

Christmas Feastine.

Christmas season was given up to rev.
els and jollity, in which eating and
drinking had a prominent part. The
Saxon instinct of our English ancestors
led them to make of every holiday an
occasion for feasting. Plenty to eat
and to drink was their idea Of a festi-
val, no matter how sacred might be it's
associations. On Christmas they not
only lined their stomachs with good
capon, as did Shakespeare's justice,
but stuffed themselves with all sorts Of
rich, nourishing food and strongly COM
pounded buildings and pies.

, MAIL FOR SANTA CLAUS.

Some Strange Letters at Christmas
Time.
nv WERE is an address I never
~ noticed until this year."
said postoffice clerk, sort
ing out some half dozen let
tiers with "Mr. Santa Claus, Joyland,"
on the envelopes. Variations were,
"Mr. Santa Claus, Joyland Co., N. Y,
Oil Happiness Ave." and @Mr. Santa
Claus, Toy and Candy Palace, Christ
+. NASHVILLE, Joyland."
Another child, perhaps of Hibernian
ancestry, had addressed his petition to
the saints residence in "Fairyland,
Ireland" One young writer, with
somewhat hazy knowledge of geo.
graphical names, had sent his letter to
"Mr. Saint Nickerlis, to the North
Pole, Mexico" Another, with be-
lief in the power and influence of
nurse, had addressed his missive to
''79 Bedford Ave, Kaar Meary,"
which, being deciphered, is found to
mean "Care of Mary
II am sorry I cannot allow you to
open any of the letters. It's as much
a criminal offense to tamper- with them
as with any other letters" said the
clerk to a reporter of The Commercial
Advertiser. There were, however, two
postal cards and one open letter, which
were fair specimens. The latter was
modest request for the relief of the
more pressing wants of the writer. It
read:
Dear Santa Claus-You say that good boys get
the best presents. have tried yery hard to be a
good boy. Will you please bring fire patrol,
train of cars, nice book, game box of tools
and little sailboat, candy, oranges and nuts.
Goodby, dear old Santa Claus. We will expect you
Christmas eve. DUDLEY.
A few letters were evidently written
Under the direction of seniors of the
family and dropped in the mailbox to
please the children. Most of the letters
were without stamps.
What becomes of the letters after
they reach the dead letter office? Most
of them are eventually destroyed, as
the children sign only their first names
and there is no way of returning
them.

The Christmas Tree.

Of all the Christmas greens the tree
Is the aristocratic monarch. Used not
as a background for decoration, it
figures as the central ornament in the
Christmas festivities. It's trimming is
a matter of mystery, it's burden Of
lights, tinsel and finery the rarest
spectacle that juvenile eyes ever lock
upon, and it's brief but triumphant
career an epoch in home life to be long

Faces of the loved and lost
Throng the courts where we assemble;
Rubicons of years are crossed
AS in Yule's sweet walks we ramble.
Oh, the dear, the ever mourned!
Ye, in more than olden beauty,
Are like angel guards returned,
Sharers in this holy duty.
Children with their banners, see,
In the chapel alcoves gather;
Happy they with him to be
Children Of common Father.
Hear the organs prelude ring
With the welcome to the morning,
While the festal censers swing
And the altar lights are burning.
Lovely Yule, though shadows steal
Unawares DER all thy brightness,
Though yon naked boughs reveal
Marble mounds Of snowy whiteness,
Yet the wreath of Christmas day
Green and fragrant ever liveth,
For the Hand that took away
Is the Hand that once more giveth.

Origin of Mince Pie.

English plum pudding and mince pies
both owe their origin, or are supposed
to, to an occurrence attendant upon the
birth of Christ. The highly seasoned
ingredients refer to the offering OF
spices, frankincense and myrrh by the
wise men Of the east to the Christ
Child.-New York World.
