Hoyt. with a playwright friend. was
once witnessing the production of n
play-not his own-says the New York
Clipper. The leading man was well
known to be a poor study" and this
night was on very unfamiliar terms
with his part. The voice of the prompt
er was continuously in evidence, though
this was overlooked. for the actor was
great favorite.
Just before the end OF the act Hoyt
went out. but returned n moment later
Just as the curtain went down on deaf
ening applause.
"Who are they calling for" he asked
of his friend, who answered by naming
the leading man, whom, TO spare his

Al Hands Smoking.

Tobacco is in Tehuantepec a great
industry. One evening some of our
party of sixteen were kindly given 4
nights shelter, Mexican fashion, at a
hacienda or farmhouse. Hotels, eX-
cept in the large towns, are unknown.
1t was about 8 p. IN. when we arrived.
Sitting on the wide veranda to receive
us we beheld the entire family. On the
right of the door was the lady of the
house in Il white cotton gown, smoking
n cigar. Below her were the daughters
and handmaidens, also smoking. On
the Qsher side of the door was the
ranchero or master himself, with his
sons and manservants. Every one was
employed in rolling the tobacco leaf
into cigars, and every one was smOk-
ing. including n little boy not quite
three years old. who had a full sized
cigar in his baby mouth, while in his
left hand he held 4 banana from which
he took bites between the puffs, occa-

HOW TO CARVE A TURKEY.

The Art Made Plain For the Pres

- USTOM has made it usual hero
I'll abOuts TO eat turkey for our
~ Christmas dinner, and accord
ingly the festive bird Will
grace many a table. But IL Is not ev-
erybody who knows how to carve 4
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
brcastbOne. where IL will sink into a
hollow formed by the peculiar CON
formation of the breastbone. The bird
Is then held firmly while tine carving
Is being done.
The first thing to do is to take Off the
legs at the second joint. Cut down
alongside the leg and bear outward q

The knife is inserted above the leg.
and after making an incisiOn ii is

then parts easily from the body. Att
or both legs are removed i'm this man.
ner the wings should be cut of. the
knife being used on practically the
same principle as that employed I'm 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 incisior
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 i'm tire original position,
and slices are removed from the breast
The slicing should commence near the
peak Of the breastbOnO. 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 n 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
10 disjoint 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
iointinG it near the base of the latter.

akin to these Of . drunkard who has
been under alcoholic stimulation for Il

system feels the lack of the irritation
and stimulation Of the city noise, to
which it has become accustomed. The
stiffness actually ap.lIs and depresses
him.

Forty, a multiple OF four by ten, is
one OF the sacred numbers. The pro-

years. The rain fell at the delugc 40
