THANKSGIVING. RECIPES.

Dear Editor. The following recipes have been in use for many years in our family and are especially in de- rnand during the holidays, which seem so incomplete without the neces- sary accessories of turkey, ,nince pie, rEoC iDgs. sauces, pumpkin pie, and the scent of spices, etc, so I will send a few recipes to try to fill up the place where they are needed:
 Eoned Turkey-Select a large, ten der turkey, pluck the feathers, wash with a cloth, remove entra ills, lay the fowl on the table; take a knife with long, sharp, narrow blade and point; oerin at the neck; then go round to the shoulders and wings and carefully separate the flesh from the bone, scraping if down as you go: next, loosen the flesh from the breast. back anc body, then frcm the thighs and legs. When loosened, take the turkey by the neck. give it a quick jerk, and the whole skeleton will come out. The flesh will fall down. but sew any breaks made in the skin; have ready quantity of stuffng, pack in well, and make plump. 6lling in wings legs, etc. te look natural. Place in d nat ural position, lying the wings, legs aeck in plAcs-Flth 1apes, Bake three

Some day the routine of things takes change; even the meadows and the mountains change, as well as our looks, our feelings, our hearts Some times it is death that changes us, and makes us pull out of the ''rut" of con- stant travel of years.
 So it was with Silas Brainerd, now sixty years old. Never a romance or sentiment in his life. Left without parent or home when a mere boy-he had been a hard worker-practicin g close economy all his boyhood, until at thirty years old when bachelorhood came, he had seen little of society and found himself sort of machine. His days were spent in his factory, where he had worked out a small fortune, in which he had an office dreary and dingy. He never varied five minutes in his arrival and departure, nor did his few worlSmen. With him had followed old Ben, working the same hours, always there, the same homely old face, never a smile or more than the plain greeting of years. No thought seemed to come to these that it would or could ever be different. But when "Old Ben" dropped at the wheel heart disease-Brainerd was bewild- cred. one clog in the wheel had stop ped: old Ben, his assistant, was gone.
 When business friend said: Get a young man for bookkeeper. and a young woman for stenography and typewriting," Silas was fairly fright ened. He had always written his own letters, he had not spoken to a wo- man for years, nor had young people about him for years. They would whiS- tie, and be late mornings. and want halfdays off. and talk baseball, things old Fen never thought of.
 But after some days of worriment as well as loneliness, Brainerd was forced to make the change, and was surprised to see how quiet and sys- tematic both these young people were. how quickly all business was disposed of, and a little sunshine came into the old office. It was tidied, a new chair came in, a vase of flowers on the desk, and after a few days Brainerd was not afraid of the young woman.
 A month passed. The master sat at his desk in scerious thought. He was not given to reviewing his life, but on this day he saw plainly that he had missed about all the things that make the ordinary mans life worth living. No home, no wife, no children, no amusements, no senti- ment; he couldn't remember when he He had lived in a sheil-he had let the world alone-and the world had no interest in him. What was the awakening? And who was responsi- ble for it? Was it this fair haired girl who sat for hours with a pleasant
 Brainerd began to plan more changes. even though it frightened him, who had known only one path, to and from the boarding house to the office. That evening ne went to a theater. saw the first show of his life, restaurant dinner and missed for the first time in twenty years a meal at his boarding house. Then came changes in his habits and attire, which
