HOW 10 CARVE a TURKEY.
The Art Made Plain For the Pres-
Bdent of the Feast.

The Art Made Plain For the Pres-
Bdent of the Feast.
UATOM has made it usual here
abouts to eat turkey for our
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 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. Cut 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 of, 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 fromsthe breast.
The slicing should commence near the
peak of the breastbone, the cuts being
taken thinly, the knife held horizontal
iy and the cuts extending downward
toward the wings. After.the meat has

keys breast in this fashion the knife
is inserted transyersely behind the lit
tie projection on the breast between
the peak and the neck. This isformed
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
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 bpt the car.
cass of the turkey, and the only task is
to 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
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.

The backbone is E.,c.-en about three |
Inches above the :.l::l. and there you
are. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF your tur-
key is now complete.

SHILOH,

Where ripping waters Of the Tennessee
In rhythmic flow
A requiem sing, historic Shiloh stands,
Her tragic woe
Is writ by sculptors art. In her calm face
There fingers, of her passion, not trace
To mar its peaceful glow.
We scarce can picture it all scanned and Scared
With crimson stain
Just while ago; nor scarce our ears can catch
The minor strain
Within the rivers flow. This sacred hill
Seems but place to pause in rest, until
Tired feet shall feel no pain.
This "slent city, shews nations love.
And honor, due,
Is paid unto the mem'ry VI her sons
Who wore the blue
And gained the victor's crown Yet from life toll
Beneath the same love-consccrated soil
Sleep other hearts as true.
This fair white city fairer yet shall be-
And some glad day
Beatitudes, anew, around her brow
In hallowed ray
Like nimbus crown shall shine. Forlove shall own
Her debt to vaor, by memorial stone
To those who wore the gray.

Maj. David w. Reed.

Maj. David w. Reed, secretary
Of the Shiloh Park Commission,
arrived in the city from Chicago
and awaited the arrival Of the
steamer Clifton Yesterday, bound
for the historic old battle grounds
to participate in the reunion of
the veterans OF both sides who
celebrate the anniversary OF the
great conflict next Friday and
Saturday. The Major is probably
the best known and most uni.
versally esteemed survivor of
that bloody battle. A contest in
which there were no hundred day
men nor bounty jumpers engaged
upon the one side, Eor guerrillas
or bushwhackers upon the other,
but all soldiers of their own free
will fighting fol the rights and
principles each held dearest. Ii
is perhaps owing in part to his
position, that Of secretary to the
commission and historian of the
battle, that the gallant old soldier
owes in a measure his great pop
ularity among the participant
survivors, but aside from this, his
genial manner, his impartial
treatment and his ever ready
disposition to render justice TO all
the veterans, especially those who
took part in the battle of Shiloh,
has endeared him to every old
"Yank and johnnie" with whom
he has ever come in contact.
Mai. Reed enlisted as a private in
the Twelfth Iowa, and through
undaunted courage and personal
merit rose to the rank Of Major Of

An Easily Tried Headache Cure.

"The most excellent and never-fail-
ing cure for nervous headache, says
the apostle of physical culture, sis the
simple act of walking backward.
Just try it some time if you have any
doubt about it. ! have yet to meet
the person who didn't acknowledge Its
efficacy after trial.
Nobody has as yet discovered or
formulated reason why such pro-
cess should bring certain relief. Ply
sicians say that it is probably because
the reflex action of the body brings
about a reflex action of the brain, and
thus drives away the pain that, when
produced by nervousness, is the result
of too much going forward. AS soon
as YOU begin to walk backward, how
ever. there comes feeling of every
thing being reversed, and this is fol-
lowed by relief. The relief is always
certain and generally speedy, Ten
minutes is the longest have ever
found necessary.
Gan entry or long room is good
place for such promenade, but even
better than this is long porch, or a
secluded walk in the open air. You
should walk very slowly, letting the
ball of your foot touch the floor first
and then the heel just the way, in
fact, that one should, in theory, walk
forward, but which, in practice, Is Sc
rarely done.

DANGER of Colds and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneu-
monia. If reasonable care is used,
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thou
sands who have used the remedy for
these diseases we have yet to learn OF
single case having resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that it is a certain preventive of that
dangerous malady. 1t will cure a
cold or all attack of the la grippe in
less time than any other treatment.
1t is pleasant and safe to take For

Not long ago F. NJ. Howard moved
from New Hampton to Stratham, in
New Hampshire, the towns being
about one hundred miles apart. In
the car with other goods was placed
the household cat, an Angora, which
upon arrival at Stratham was quickly
released. She soon disappeared and
was seen no more. IL few days Mr..
Howard received a letter from his
mother in New Hampton, saying that
the cat had returned to her old home,
the date of her arrival being four days
after her disappearance fromStratham.
The cause of the cats long journey
was revealed when she sought out a
family of kittens, of whose existence
the Howard family were in ignorance.
She was seen carrying them, one after

Hauling Children to School.

Muscogee county (Ga.) school au-
thorities are trying, on limited SCALE
a recent suggestion by the State School
Commissioner, DR.. Glenn-that chill
dren be hauled to school in sparsely
settled districts. In the extreme
northern part of the county there are
a number of families who have some
II or Is children.
They petitioned for a school for the
community, but the County School
Board did not think that the number
of pupils authorized school. The
nearest schoolhouse is some five miles
away at Double Churches. The board,
as a compromise, agreed to haul the
children to that school. A contract
was made with a man in that COM
munity who had wagon suitable for
the purpose. This gentlenan's 10
year-old son wished to attend school,
and so he was installed as driver.
Every morning he drives along the
road and collects the children, who
come to the main road from their
homes to meet him, and carries them
on to school. He and his team spend
the day, and in the afternoon he car
ries them home. He thus earns a
neat sum from mis- father and at the
same time is receiving an education.

Lille Lett of Him When He Died.

Adam -Garlick, aged &c years, a
Union veteran and sawmill operator.
who was killed last Friday night at a
railroad crossing at Tatesville, Bed
ford county, Pa, was the victim OF
more accidents than any other man
in the State. He was crossing a rail-
way when an engine, running back
ward to Tatesville, struck his horse,
killing it and throwing its rider vio-
lently to the ground. Mr.. Garlick s
head struck the end of tie and was
crushed. Thus the prophecy of this
rugged and reckless man, who often
boosted that nothing but lightning or
a steam engine could kill him, was
fulfilled.
An authentic list of the important
injuries received by Mr.. GaIlick, not
mentioning many minor mishaps, is as
follows: Last summer he had two
fingers sawed off, leaving only one
sound finger on each hand. He
served in the Civil War and was shot
through the wrist and struck in the
left eye by spent bullet; he also re-
ceived a cut from a sabre over the
right eye. He had leg broken five
times both feet smashed was cut in
the wrist and foot with an axe
dragged down the mountain by the
heels by runaway team, one OF his
ears being torn off and his jaw broken
in three places was bitten In the
hand by rattlesnake; was run over
by wagon loaded with a ton OF coal
was so severely stung by honey bees
that he was unconscious for several
hours; received cut in the abdomen
with an axe; was knocked down while
working at grindstOne and picked
up for dead; all of his ribs were bro
ken; one of his ankles was cut while
he was peeling bark, and a big cash
was cut in the other while he was
moving hay.
When the next to the last mentioned
mishap occurred Mr.. Garlick would
probably have bled to death if the
late Jason Hanks of Everett had not
sewed up the wound with thread
made of fibre from hickory bark.
