To make an attractive log fire which

cations of kindling wood now and then
shake out double sheet newspaper
and leave the edges loose so that it
will light easily. 1t will take longer to
ignite If crushed and spoiIs the effect
Of the kindling wood, which is thrown
loosely on the paper against the and
irons. Tie backlog should be of the
largest size the fireplace will hold. It
should be put close back to the wall.
Il it is split log, the inside should be
turned toward the front. Three logs
are enough to start FIRE with. Give it
a good start and then let it alone. Moth
ing is worse than smoky, constantly
poked wood fire.

Tie there III one person at the annual
Christmas feast who Is not really and
truly happy 1t u he to whom is intrust
ed. the important task of carving the
turkey. For the benefit of thos2 who
are called upon to prepare the turkey
for the plates of the feasters a few
words Of advice are always acceptable
And first and all important is the ad
monition to secure tender bird and
sharp knife, for upon these two cons:e
erations depend the peace of mind and
the success of the carver. incidentally
1t Is an excellent thing to have the
guests engaged in active conversation.
because no matter how skillful the.
carver he will surely be handicapped
1if the moment required for his task IS
marked by silence on the part Of those
about the board
Once the conditions made favorable
the carver grasps the fork In his left
hand and places 1t In the breast OF the
turkey. Then the knife. held in the
right hand. Is laid parallel with AMI

knife is brought down with a sweep
and the joint is disconnected The
carver continues the stroke downward
and separates the leg and then the sec
ond joint from the carcass This oper
alton is repeated on the members Of
the right side of the fowl.
The next task and one which seems
comparatively simple Is the slicing of
the breast meat. The slices should be
made parallel to the breast bone so as
to follow the grain of the meat The
meat appears far more palatable when
SO cut. After s,:cing off the breast
meat the wishbone is removed by sin

ward the neck.
The stroke which for ordinary sized
families is generally the last is that
which is taken upward from the
''pope's nose SO as to catch the "oys-
,~ter bone" This stroke reveals the stuff
Ing. which can be sliced off easily
And with the service of this the carver
lays aside knife and fork. happy be-
cause Of tine successful accomplish

THE CHRISTMAS PUDDING.
How to make II and what 60 ma
with the Remnants.


with the Remnants.
There il decided tendency among
our best cooks today to substitute
beef's marrow for suet in plum pud
ding. The beef marrow makes rath-
en- more delicate and fine Favored pud-
ding, which loses nothing of its rich
ness. The best marrow bone is that
obtained from the hind leg, or shank,
Iof beef. the meat of which makes an
excellent consonme, says the New
York Tribune Let the butt her split
the bone for you, 50 that the marrow
can be taken out entire. Scrape off
any bloody streaks. Weigh out six
ounces, chop it fine and set it aside
In. a kneading bowl. Add half pound
of dried currants. we'll washed and
picked over: half pound of sultana
raisins, half pound of the best mala-
ga raisins AID half a pound of candied
orange, lemon and citron peel in equal
parts.
Mix thoroughly and add three-quar-
tiers Of pound of bread crumbs " aich
have been dried, sifted and moistened
with half a cup of cold milk To this
also add quarter of pound of sugar,
an even tea3poonful of salt, six eggs
and finally half a gill each of madeira.
brandy and Santa Cruz rum. You may
substitute sherry for madeira If you
wish. Mix all these ingredients thor
oughly, using the hands to knead them
together. If the pudding is boiled in
tight tin mold leave about half an
inch space for 1t to swell, but il it is
boiled in the orthodox way, which is
by far the best way-in a bowl with
cloth tied over it--pack 1t in as tight
ly as you can. The cloth will give
sufficiently for it's swelling In either
case the mold or bowl should be thick
ly bntterad and slightly dredged with
-four to make smooth, shining sur
face in which to stick the proverbial
sprig of holly.
The mixture for the Christmas pud-
ding should be as stiff as it can be
stirred. AS there is some difference in
the size Of eggs it is best to mix the dry
ingredients first, then the moistened
bread crumbs, then the liqueurs, and
last of all the eggs. For the spices add
small half nutmeg, scant half tea
spoonful of powdered cinnamon and
the same quantity each of powdered
cloves and allspice. These should be
put in just before you knead up the
pudding.
If any of this pudding is left over
make some Christmas quits d'amour"
or wells of love- Cut the cold pud-
ding in slices an inch thick and cut
these into rounds about two inches
across. Cut half these again into rings,
using an inch cutter, and lay the rings
on the rounds Ice them thickly, be-
ing careful not to fill up the hollow, or
''well," in the center. In these wells"
put teaspoonful of branded butter or
hard pudding sauce favored with
brandy. Stick the tiniest spray of hol-
ly, leaf and berry in the center of
each cake. These are very picturesque
as well as delicious little confections.
They are favorite for children's holt
day parties, so frequent in Christmas
week. There are SO small proportion
of the pudding and so large quantity
of the icing that they can hardly be
considered in the light of heavy and
indigestible dainties.

now to Make christmas Tree Fairies.


Dancing Christmas fairies always
enhance the children's delight In the
Christmas tree, and once made can be
used year after year. Buy dozen or
more five and ten cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the
number some japanese and colored
dolls. Dress these to represent fairies
in bright hues Of spangled gauze, tar
latan or tissue paper and literally
sprinkle their hair and garments with
diamond dust powder. Each doll
should be provided with dainty pair
of fairy wings made from spangled
tissue paper and fastened to the body
by means of concealed wires. These
wires should be coiled to obtain mo-,
ton in the wings, and nothing better
can be used than the fine spiral coils
that come out of wornout wire stitch
ed brooms.

How to Make Scotch short Bread.
Many people either buy or make
Scotch short bread during the hol
days. 1t is exceedingly difficult to
make properly. The Scotch housewife
remembers the proportions as follows:
"a quarter, half, pound, by
which she means one-quarter of a
pound of granulated sugar, one-half
pound Of butter and one pound of sift-
ed -four, but as a matter of fact little
more sugar is required, at least five
ounces. These ingredients must be
thoroughly mixed and kneaded on a
board like bread, then rolled out about
an inch thick, the edges crinlzled or
ornamented I'm the same manner as pie
crust and baked In slow oven. Some
times seed candies. white and red, or
strips of citron are used for making an
ornamental pattern on the cake.

How to Prevent Christmas Tree Fires.
People cannot be too careful in guard
ing against fire when trimming a
Christmas tree. says writer in Coco
Housekeeping There have been scores
of Christmas tree fatalities in homes
and in Sunday schools which very
little care might have prevented. The
B writer once set ia tree in blaze,
consuming nearly half of it, tinsel
tournaments going with the green
J branches A tiny candle mad been
wired too high. and it took only few
kminutes of its brisk heat to char
branch above it and start a flame. 4
a2hick portiere was torn from its pole
s|and thrown over the blaze. If it had
j not been at hand. the light window cur
tains in another minute would have
caught fire. Since that Christmas our
N tree has always been placed in the cen
ter Or the room. and we haze aeschewea
cotton wool tissue paper angels and
eelluloid ornaments. First of ALL we
wire each candle securely in place at
the farthest end of branch which has
nothing above it, either fir tree or
trimming. Then as the tree is denuded
we watch carefully the fast disappear
ing candles. Sometimes one of them
nearly burned down, will topple over
or be merely a spark Of flame, but nea~
to something infIammable, and be
menace.

COURT ROOM
IN DEMAND
Five Courts With Only
Four ourtrOOmS

Too much pilikia about court rooms
for tomorrow and some days after de-
yeloped in the judiciary building yes
terday Judge Dole of the United
States court is involved in the situa-
ton. Including his court there are no
less than five of the higher tribunals
due to hold sessions. The trouble arises
from an custer of the Supreme Court
by the superintendent of Public Works.
It's courtroom floor has long been re-
garded as unsafe. habitues of the court
house having often viewed with con-
Germ the gathering of large assemblies
there. When an attorney stamps his
feet upon the floor in front of the
bench, to give emphasis to his tongue.
the furniture and window easements
tremble as from an earthquake. Even
the firing of a salute at the naval sta
ton several blocks away, makes the
room vibrate.
Tomorrow morning the Public Works
carpenters will begin tearing up the
floor in the Supreme Court chamber.
Consequently the appointed session will
be held in Chief Justice Frear's cham
Der. So far well, but the United States
District Court room is directly beneath
the Supreme Court room. Judge Dole
viii not hold court with the noise OF
hammer and saw over his head, not to
mention the risk of ton OF hard plas-
ter overwhelming the court and all
persons in attendance. Therefore he
has preferred a request for temporary
quarters on the second floor. This, with
all three Circuit Judges holding jury
sessions, makes the difficulty. Judge
Viewers Land court room is entirely
too small for the Federal court with
jury business on, and the stenographer's
room and chambers of judges are all
similarly unfit.
Perhaps it may occur to Judge Dole
to move across the way to the hos
pitable old throne room.

Plaintiffs motion for a new trial in

1, that a motion for a new trial was

notice of a motion for q new trial was
given by plaintiff at the time of the
decision and judgment of nonsuit.
