TO CHOOSE POULTRY

In the choice of poultry the age of
the bird is the chief point to which one
should attend. = <
"A young turkey has a smooth black
leg; in an old one the legs are rough
and somewhat red. . If the bird be
fresh killed the eyes will be full and
fresh, and the feet moist. When they
are young the comb and legs will be
smooth, and rough when they are old.
In geese. when they are young, the
bills and the feet are yellow and have a
few hairs upon them, but they are red
if the bird be old. The feet Of goose
are pliable when the bird is fresh
killed, and dry and stiff when it has
been killed some time. Geese are called
green until they are two or three
months old.
Ducks should be chosen by their feet,
WHICH should be supple, and they should
also have plump and hard breast. The
feet of tame duck are rather yellow,
those Of wild one red.
Pigeons should always be eaten while
they are fresh! when they look fabby
| and discolored, about the under part
they have been kept too long. The feet,
like those Of poultry, show the age OF
the bird; when they are supple it is
| young; when stiff it is old. Tame pig.
cons are larger than wild ones.

LORD SHAFTESBURY'S SISTER

The youngest sister of Lord Shaftes-
bury and the wife Of a popular baro-
net would naturally play a great role in
society, but Lady Maud Warrender has
the added advantages of beauty and
brains. She has long been known asone
Of the best amateur actresses in the great
world, and her exquisite voice might
have entitled her, had she been born
and bred in another sphere than her
own, to have become the serious rival
Of our leading operate singers. This
gift is one of several she shares with
her only brother, for Lord Shaftesbury
has an exceptionally fine voice. One
of five sisters, who all made brilliant
marriages, Lady Maud Ashley, as she
then was, elected to marry younger
son Of but slender means. A series of
unforeseen occurrences altered the
young couple IS fortunes and led to Cap
tain Warrender s succession to the fam
lily baronetcy. There was, however, ar
interval, during which the young nava.
officer saw something of active service
and when he entered Tientsin with the
British forces the queen of England
who was very fond of Lady Maud, sem
her a special telegram to tell her of hi
safety.

PAPER HANDKERcHIEFs.

The linen handkerchief, physicians agree, is ths
most dangerous article in the human wardrobe. Ii

dered, it should be destroyed But it can It be de-

A NEW GAME

. :: Did you ever try biographies7 For
rubbing of. angles and starting people
on an easy footing, there is nothing bet
ter. Try it.. just a sheet of paper each
and pencil. Write your own name on
the sheet, fold it over and return it to
your hostess, who mixes the sheets thor
oily and deals them out again for "a
past biography ''tto be written on each
below the invisible folded name. Again
the papers are folded and, again re-
dealt. A present-time description -
follows. Each writes sketch Of the
present position, hopes and charms of
the unknown individual. Then comes
.s1the prophecy''- sketch of what
will happen. That is the final. The
sheets are shuffled once again, unfolded,
and read thru, from the name at the top
to the close of the biography.
