After careful estimates were made by
experts. John M. Carson, chief of the
bureau of manufactures, was able to
make this statement in the annual re-

not represent finished products entire

be placed on the table with the breast to
the left of the carver, who commences
operations by first getting firm grip on
the fowl by sticking the carving fork deep
down through the upper part of the breast
bone. Now, holding the fork securely. in
the left hand, take the knife in the right
and remove the legs and the second joint
together by passing the knife around the
joint next the body. Then take off the
wings in the same manner and disjoint
them, cutting through the ligaments.
Before carving more from the turkey
IL is well to separate the leg and cut It
into two pieces. After this the breast of
the turkey can be carved in thin, delicate
slices with the knife held fiat against the
breast bone and faced away from the
carver. Then the point of the knife can
be inserted under the wishbone and it car
be lifted, pressed backward and removed
Good carvers now turn the turkey
slightly and without removing the carving
fork cut the shoulder blades from the I'M
der side of the carcass. Each helping"
should contain piece of both white and
dark meat and generous spoonful OF
dressing.

crossing 1t in light touring car and
was pretty near the further margin
when his attention was attracted by
something thrashing about in the sand
a little distance away from the beaten
track. He stopped the car and went
over and found a hoop snake with a
sand crab firmly fastened to the tip Of
Its tail. The man said the snake look

promptly released it. When he started

lifted the wheel, took Off the tire and
found that the inner tube was practi-
cally ruined. He hadn't another inner
tube and didn't want to run on the rim.
He was feeling good deal discouraged
when the hoop snake suddenly rolled
up and unhesltatingly coiled itself
around the wheel in the place Of the
useless tire.
The man says he ran about three
miles with the snake tire, and didn't
stop until he came within sight of a
sign bearing the word Garage" Then
he thanked the snake and released II.

plain gratitude or merely instinct that

HOW TO CARVE A TURKEY.
sharp Knife OF Greatest Importance
In Cutting Up Fowl.

In Cutting Up Fowl.
Some are born carvers, some after pain
full effort achieve carving and some-un-
fortunate few-have carving thrust upon
them. In order to become skillful in
the art it Is of the first importance TO
have a sharp knife.
Daniel Webster so the story goes, once
undertook to carve the turkey az an old
fashioned dinner. The knife was dull as
the traditional hoe and the bird proved
refractory, giving the great man more
trouble than one of his celebrated cam
paign speeches. Finally after an espe-
c.ally desperate effort to cut through the
hide of the troublesome fowl, the knife
slipped and the bird turned a complete
somersault and landed in the lap of a
lady who sat next to the famous man.
But even after this effort Mr.. Webster
never turned a hair.
Madam. I'll trouble you for that tur-
key" said he, and went at the struggle
again with might and main.
But we are not all born with the
aplomb Of the great orator, SO it is as well
to take the precaution to have the knife
sharp.
The turkey should always be served on

IncUBArINa ALLIGAroRs.
1900 Arc Raised Yearly on One
ArLausaa

Arkansas Farm.
Quincy. H., has achieved good
deal of fame as manufacturer Of in
cubators. The chicken Incubator Is the
oldest Of all. and from the first lnven-
ton there followed the manufacture Of
instruments TO hatch out birds Of ev-
cry description.
Bat the strangest incubator OF all is
the alligator Incubator. says the Clin-
ton (Iowa) Herald. The industry Of
alligator raising has grown to q sell
ence within the last few years, and one
or two very extensive farms are being
operated In the South.
The most successful Of these is that
u the Arkansas alligator farm near
Hot Springs, Ark, which raises the
animal for the market ON large
scale. About 1900 young alligators
are raised each year, and from this
supply the menageries and ZOOS Of the
country are stocked.
The chief profits in the business
arises from the sales of the young alli-
gator for show purposes and for pets,
and not. as usually supposed. from the
sale of their skins for ornamental
leather work.
With the saurians raised in such
methods of incubation had to be invent
ed. and as in the poultry business the
Invention was not long delayed. AS
the incubator took the place of the
motherly hen, so the artificial hatcher
superseded the female alligator as q
mother of her young.
When the need of some more expedi-
tious method of Matching alllgators be-
gan to become urgent an incubator
was made particularly for raising tine
brood of the inhabitants of the South
ern bayous. The machine was some
what larger than the ordinary chicken
hatchery.
The eggs are placed in the trays rs
In any incubator and when the young
are Matched the wiggling mass pre-
sents a curious sight. The eggs are
covered with straw, which is moisten-
ed every day. The temperature is
maintained at 80 degrees until the
eggs are Matched.
The little animals are nursed In 'the
brooder for several days before being
turned out into the babies Enclosure.
1t is claimed by the operators of the
farms that the introduction of artif-
cial methods has appreclably reduced
all uncertainty in Matching.
The percentage of eggs which fail TO
incubate is very small and as the eggs
are worth So a dozen it is seen that
any improved method of incubation
which reduces the loss of eggs which
do not hatch is of immense value to
the alligator raiser.

Of White Race and Giants in Stature. Memories of a Pioneer Priest
 Are Recalled.
From the New York World.

CnlcaSO, Aprll I.-lne ReV. ffanclS Barnum, $. J., at present in Chicago, says he has discovered race of white giants in northern Alaska. They are of unadulterated Caucasian blood, inn mense fn stature and muscular develop ment, members of one tribe found be- yond the settlements of the Alaskan Indians, north of what is known as the Indian line. During stay of more than eihgt years among these people the who was not much larger and taller than the average American.
 Several years before the discovery of gold at Nome Father Barnum was sent as missionary to Alaska. Preaching from village to village among the Alas kan Indians, but journeying northward always, he finally passed the Indian line, beyond which the population be- comes strictly Eskimo.
 Finally he came upon not the band of hardy hunters he had expected, but a race of purely white men of gigantic stature. He says they are without the faintest strain of Mongolian or Indian ancestry. He was with them long enough to master their language.
 Father Barnum, the alleged authority for the above remarkable story, was well known by the early pioneers of the lower Yukon. Capt. A. II. Mayo, of Rampant, the oldest white resident of this part of Alaska, was quite intimately acquainted with the priest and never heard him allude to q strange race of men such as is spoken of in the fore going. So thoroughly has northern and northwestern Alaska been explored that it is practically impossible for even a small number of such men to exist un- known to the outside world There may be inhabited islands in the Arctic ocean of which no knowledge has got abroad, but if SO Father Barnum would have been unable to reach them without q well-equipped ship. The story is per haps the result of the over-wrought imagination of some correspondent to whom the priest had talked.
 Father Barnum is nephew of the late P. T. Barnum, the famous snowman.
 The priest was always a companiona- ble man and he and Captain Mayo en- joyed each others society very much. The captain relates an incident with which Father Barnum had somewhat to do nearly fifteen years ago.
 Captain Mayo was master of the steamer Artic and was proceeding down the river. At Holy Cross he found Father Barnum and two or three other priests, half dozen sisters of mercy, a few native women nurses and lot of orphaned infants which the good sisters had undertaken to care tor--all anxious Co proceed Co Anlraci.ki aboard the Arctic. The captain explained that the heat was already iall, there was no place to sleep, the season and thc day were both Gar advanced and it would soon be dark and cold, etc, etc. but they de- elaFed they would stand it tili they got Co Anslreai-ki, Hext day. and got aboard.
