To Cook Turkey.

A chef who has for many years pre-
sided over the cuisine Of one of New
York City's best hotels gives this recipe
for preparing and cooking the Thanks
giving turkey:
Silt the neck of the turkey from the
back of its head down its whole length
and with the fingers separate the skin
from it. Cut the skin little above the
middle and pull apart; then cut the
neck off at the base. That will leave
the skin intact for further use.
Take the intestines out through an
incision in the abdomen, but first take
out the crop by inserting the finger
where you have cut the neck off. Loos-
en- the strings, or pipes, inside, and pull
them easily, then the whole crop will
come out intact. Wash we'll, and the
turkey will be ready for stufing.
For the stuffing soak a small stale
loaf of bread in cold water, and when
soft squeeze all the water out: place ir
bowl, add salt, pepper, thyme OF
sage, or both; fry one onion chopped
fine in four ounces of butter and little
ham, bacon or salt pork; cut fine, add
whole egg and mix well. Stuff the
crop or wishbone part thoroughly, and
fasten the skin over it on the back OF
the turkey with a skewer or sew it; the
rest put inside. Bake the turkey in a
hot oven and cook about ninety min
utes."

Founder Of the Argentine Navv,

Moved possibly by the controversy
about the rival of Jack" Barry and
Paul Jones to the title of Father of
the American Navy" the Freeman's
Journal, of Sydney, Australia. prints
an interesting sketch of William
Brown, "the Irish founder of the Ar
gentine navy" The career of this
valiant sailor reads like a romance,
and his naval exploits were worthy of
Nelson or Farragut, Barry or Jones.
One of his memorable deeds was the
thorough whipping which he admins
tered in 1912 to Garibaldi, who, during
the little war between Argentine and
Uruguay, sailed up the Parma with
a squadron to the relief of Corrientes.
Brown received the highest honors in
the gift of his adopted country, and
died in 1857, at the ripe old age of
eighty, type of the many Irish Cath
Ollie heroes, who for centuries have dis
played in other lands the masterful
qualities for which no fitting field was
offered in their own.
