A WORD ABOUT
CARVING A FOWL.

1t is not alone the fact hat the anna,
teu carver misses the joints and tries
to cut through the largest bones, that
fills him with regret and his lap full OF
sage and onions. 1t is horrible though
that the entire company is looking at
him.
No matter how the perspiration may
trickle down between his shoulder
blades, or how the hot flashes may
chase the chills up n down his spinal
column, or how much his eyes may be
dimmed by unshed tears, the rcDt of
the company never allows his interes,
to flag a moment.
We remember one time we were call
ed to assume the management of a
frce-for-all carving ,ournamnt at the
home of a dove,eyed dumping whose
kind regard We desired to catch on to
as far as possible.
How clearly come back to us now
the smiling faces of the guests. the rip.
ping laugh. the b~aldheaded joke, the
thanksgiving conundrum, and all as
merry as a marriage bell.
We call to mind the girlish Taught
err of that one whose very existence,
as she sat on our left hat day. SEEM
ed cemented and glued to our own.
AS we %sharpened the glittering blade
on the ringing steel. we felt buoyant
and proud. Proud to think how we
would slice the white, calm bosom OF
H.. I-,--.I how DrrIt1 tn think
how in our mn we had laid out the
different ~pregnable points about that
old cackler. and in the anticipation OF
applause glad and ,ree, when we a
accomplished the warfare and victory
and stuffing had perched upon Il ban
ner.
We softly jabbed the shimmering
fork a-straddle of the breast bone, tore
off a few goose pimples from under
the wings of the late lamented, gouged
out a few shattered fragments from
the neck and tried to cut a sirloin
steak off the back.
An oppressive gloom seemed to per-
wade the air. The old hen didn't have
her Joints where we had them laid out
in our mind. She was deformed. She
seemed to be a freak of nature.
1t ratified us and unnerved us.
We gouged wildly at the remains.
squirting the gravy right and left. n
filing the air with fragments of bread
,rumhs and sage.
t;y some kind of omission or miscal-
culation. we made a wild stab at h
back of the lamented hen. and with a
frenzy born of repeated defeats n de-
pressing failures, the knife struck the
platter with a loud crash, and ceaslng
and ceasing not in its untamed Jury,
glanced aside, and in an instant buried
itself with a sickening thud in the cor
set of the hired girl.
With difficulty We drew out the gilt
tering blade, now ensanguined with
the gore of a fellow creature, wiped it
On the table cloth and fled. Out into
the cold unsympathetic world. out into
the crash and confusion of struggling
humanity, to battle on through life un-
Ter an assumed name.
This is why we tremble and turn
pale when our past life is inquired into
by biographers. That is why a baked
owl makes us quail.
This is why we always sign our nom
lie plume to promissory notes. That.
TOO, is why we travel incog and with
out baggage.-Bill Nye. .

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW
By Marion Acott Prentice

BY Marion Acott Prentice.
Cooking Tough Meat Tender.-It Is said
that a good cook can prepare tough
meat so that 1t will be tender and pa'at-
able. VIII you tel! me how?-N. M. J.
1t is quite true that a good cook can
prepare tough meat so that it will be
tender and palatable. The secret is in the
selection of the meat, in the correct sea-
soning of it and cooking 1T slowly. Con-
tinuous rapid boiling makes any meat
and particularly beef, dry and tasteless.
Rapid boiling for five minutes to seal
the juices in the meat, then slow cooking,
just below the boiling point for several
hours, according to the quantity and quail
ity of the meat, makes it tender and pal
atable. Putting meat in cold water or in
water below the boiling point draws out
the natural juices and leaves the meat
tasteleSs; adding salt as soon as the meat
is put in the water also impairs it's flavor
by drawing out the juices, leaving the
fibre fiat and tough. The most approved
method Of cooking tough meat tender Is
as follows: Suppose you have a piece OF
beef from the under round, which is rich
in nutritive qualities but tough from de-
veloped muscles. Trim off all the outer
skin, which imparts a strong and un-
pleasant IldVOr, rinse quickly anu Qry. EuC
two tablespoonful of fresh beef suet, cut
in small pieces, in kettle and. when the
fat is partly tryed out lay the meat in the
hot kettle, turning it from side to side
until the surface is scared over; this
coating prevents the escape Of the juices
and also the absorption Of water. Then
add sufficient boiling water to partly
cover the meat boil rapidly for four OF
five minutes, draw toward the back Of the
range and simmer slowly until the meat
is tender, allowing about twenty minutes
to each pound if the meat is In one large
piece. After the meat has cooked one
hour add palatable seasoning Of salt
pepper and a slice of onion, carrot OF
bouquet Of kitchen herbs, If liked. If ad.
ditional water is required it should Away:
| be boiling hot and it is also importan
that the kettle cover fits perfectly or tina
portion of the meat not covered by waite
will be tough and rare when the part ii
the water will be overdone.

Minnesota was so recently represented
in the list of national officers that the
delegates will not strive to obtain any
office, altho Mrs. Milham of ST. Paul is
being prominently mentioned for national
treasurer. No special business will be
brought before the national body, but un-
usual interest centers in the convention,
as 80 many Of the delegates are from the
New England states, and they will return
in time to attend the "old home gather
ings in many Of the towns.
The Ladies of the Grand Army Of the
Republic will also be we'll represented, and

DISHES FOR ONIONS

Onions au Gratin-Boil three or four
onions for one hour in two quarts OF
sailed water. Pour off the water and
then cut up the onions. Put them In
baking dish and pour over them half
pint Of cream sauce and half cup OF
grated bread crumbs dotted with bits
Of butter. Place in a quick oven and bake
for twenty minutes.
Escalloped Onions-Boil the onions until
tender in sailed water to which has been
added little milk. Drain and put the
onions in baking dish with alternate
layers of bread crumbs, salt, pepper and
a dash Of powdered sage. Dot each layer
Of bread crumbs with pieces of butter.
Pour over the whole a, half cup of milk.
Cover the top with bread crumbs and
small pieces Of butter. Bake it a light
brown and serve hot.
Buttered Spanish Onions-Peel large
Spanish onions carefully SO as to remove
only the outer skin. With a sharp knife
cut off the top, make hole in the mid
die Of each onion and fill with the follow
ing stuffing: Cut into squares some veal
kidney and good bacon. Chop separately
a little parsley and suet and mix all to-
gether, adding salt and pepper to taste.
When the onions are filled the tops are
replaced and secured with string.
Place them in buttered pan and bake
slowly, basting with melted butter. When
| perfectly done remove the string and
serve on thick slices of toast.
Fried Apples and Onions-Use twice as
many rather sour apples as onions. Slice
the apples without pairing them, and also
slice the onions fine, and fry them to-
gether in butter, being careful to keer
the pan covered to hold the steam, which
will prevent burning. While cooking sprin-
| kle SLIGHTLY with sugar to give added
flavor.
