Make Silk SAUSAGE Skins.

Germany now is making sausage
skins of raw silk, according to the
Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung.
Even before the war experiments were
being conducted in the making of a
hollow casing of raw silk to be filled
with sausage meat. The Elberfeld rib
bon factory is now turning out great
lengths of this sausage casing. just
now, however, owing to the shortage
of meat, very large quantities of cas-
ing are not needed With the ordinary
prices of raw silk prevailing the new
casing is no dearer than the usual sau-
sage skins.
The Berliner Lokal Anzeiger of Au-
gust says that new invention has
been introduced by the Berlin inven-
lions bureau for putting meat up In
briquettes for transport. These
briquettes, it is said, are impervious
to the attack of insects.

BRONZE BEST LIKED
Beautiful PIumage and Large
Size Has Given This Tur-
key First Place.

"HE bronze turkey holds the
place of honor among it's tribe.
. 1t is q cross between the wild
and the tame turkey. Its beau
tiful, rich plumage and it's size have
come from it's wild progenitors To
maintain these desirable qualities
crosses are continually made. In this
way the mammoth size has been gain
ed. Their standard weight ranges
from 16 to SO pounds, according to age
and sex. Probably more of this variety
are grown each year than of all others.
The coloring of this variety is
with bronze. This shading is rich and
glowing, and when the suns rays are
reflected from these colors they shine
like polished steel.
The Narragansett turkeys are next
in size to the bronze. They are of
black ground color, each feather end
ing with band of steel gray, edged
with black. This imparts grayish
cast to the entire surface plumage.
Mixed with this is the finish of me-
tallic black and bronze luster.
The standard weights of this variety
are, for males, from "a to 80 pounds;
for females, from IL to Is pounds.
Some old males of both this and the
bronze variety weigh over 40 pounds.
The buff turkey is not generally
known throughout the country. In
many localities it is almost unknown.
The standard calls for pure buff col
or throughout, but this shade of color
ing is seldom seen. AS bred for mar
ket these turkeys are of reddish buff
'or light chestnut color mixed with
white and some dark standings. They
are highly valued in some localities for
their quick growth and for their at
Effectiveness when dressed. Their av-
erage weight is several pounds less
than that of the Narragansett.
The slate turkey might be called
blue turkey. They about average in
range from 10 to Is pounds, according
to age and sex. The black color ranges
from small spots to larger markings,
but the less Of this the better for ex.
hibition purposes. 1t might be sur
| missed that the slate turkey originated
from a cross of white and black tur-
keys.
In America the white turkey is called
the white Holland turkey. The reasom
for this is not apparent, though some
think it is so called because it origi
nally came from Holland. White tur
keys were formerly quite delicate and
rather small, but now are more gener.
ally developed. The standard OF
weight is less for the whites than for
other varieties. They range from 10
pounds for young hens to 26 pounds
for old toms. In color Of plumage
they should be white throughout Eek
cept that each has a black beard on
| the breast), with shanks and toes pink.

It's spread Of wings had indicated, but
a turkey none the less fit to grace the

The boy decided to tote 1t home as it

rifle barrel over his shoulder and was
picking his way down the mountain
side to find the trail at lower point.
1t was moonlight when he reached the

trophy, which was now quite still. Hav-
ing exhibited the bird to his mother

loft in the stable, and, after full
recital of his hunt, went to bed, as

Now, most surprising thing hap
pened the next morning. When Bob
opened the stable door the turkey was
still there, but it was standing on both
feet and with one wing trailing on the
ground. And, instead Of fluttering
away as a regularrwild turkey should,
1t looked up at him with a look half
curiosity and half appeal. 1t hoped
a few steps away when he approached,
and then allowed Bob to touch 1t with
his hand. 4t si@ ,si s.

Cause for Thanks.

There have been times in the history
of the country when Thanksgiving day
was rather the occasion of expressions
Eof hope for blessings to come than of
gratitude for those being enjoyed, but
even so the nation has not been un-
mindful of it's peculiar position as the
most fortunate of the countries of the
earth. Much more, then, should there
be .thankfnlness on every side today
when not ONLY are the people of the
land enjoying peace while thousands
mourn abroad, but with peace is plenty
In contrast with the hunger that stalks
elsewhere to- carry out the horror that
shot and shell did not complete.

HAPPY IN SERVICE.
WHERE WOMAN REALLY FINDS
HER HIGHEST JOY.
Ambition and Success, According to
Writer, May Give Peculiar Salts
faction, but Not Always the
Greatest Happiness.

Who is the happiest woman in the
world? Is it the woman who has writ
ten a successful book, or painted a
great picture, or done some other note
worthy thing to bring her into the
public eye?
No, far from it. Fame never yet
made any human creature truly happy.
On the contrary, it usually seeks TO
spoil his peace of mind; it interrupts
his private life and makes all sorts
of insolent demands on his time and
thought.
When you are famous you belong to
the public, you cease to belong to the
little private circle of those who love
you.
ooh, for a quiet hour to sit down
and read a book with my family
sighed man who is famous on two
continents. But, no, l belong to thu
public, and the public does not give
me time to live"
Ask any woman who is doing what
the world calls great things, and she
will tell you, doubtless, that she is
happy in having satisfied her desire to
achieve some particular thing; but If
her face CLOVIS and she cries joyfully,
II am the happiest woman in the
world" you may come to one of two
conclusions: either she is very, very
new at her accomplishment, the reac-
ton is yet to come. or else 1t is some
more intimate, more personal JOY than
either her book or her picture that
gives the real crown to her happiness.
Ambition is aCbeautiful and neces-
sary thing; but it Is not happiness.
any more than a ten-mile tramp is
rest. And it never yet satisfied the
heart that was made for joy-as what
woman's heart is not, even though her
Joy gets half its bliss from sorrow.
Nay, the happiest woman in the
world is not she who is filling some
lofty seat in the full glare of the pub
lie eye. 1t may be right for that wom-
an to be there. It was not meant that
all women should be happy to their
fullest capacity. Doubtless she is Of
great use there. But she is not the
happiest woman in the world.
The happiest woman in the world is
she who is contentedly serving those
she loves.
That is the truth in a nutshell and
any honest woman who looks into her
own heart with understanding eyes
will confess it.
What Is life. anyway, but service?
All Of us find that out sooner or later.
And the woman whose privilege it is
to minister to those she loves-whose
place in the world is to make life glad
for those who love hers the hap
piest woman in it.
1t is privilege not given to all.
But let those to whom it is given
the sweet homemakers, the loved wives
and mothers and sisters-awake to
their joy while they yet have it, and
sing all through the glad days, for
theirs is the happiest lot on earth

Then he thought of Yank. Hardly
knowing why, he let go his hold.
There was a squawk and a fiut-
ter, man at the door was nearly
knocked from his feet, and a feathered
thing that half ran and half flew made
for the pike and the woods beyond.
HE got away!" 'Thar goes your
dinner, captain" and half-dozen
shots all came at the same instant. As
for the boy, he poured outdoors with
the rest and plunged into the woods
back of the cabin.
Two hours later turkey, both of
whose wings dropped now, the left one
stained with blood fluttered into the
Scott clearing. To go to the boy was
the fathers first thought, to go for help
the second and better one. 1t was q
bit risky, but over the ridge he went
and down the mountainside.
Bob circled and crossed the pike a
mile above. On white stone by the
road he saw drop of red. "Well, they
hit him but didn't git him." he said.
That evening, just as the sun dipped
to the West, there was another hor-
nets nest on the ridge. But this time
it was the enemy that walked into it.
There was time for only few shots.
But the guerrilla captain heard them In
the valley below and decided that 1t
would be well to move on, leaving his
missing men to join him as best they
could.
But they never did. Next night, &c
miles away, the captain turned to one
| Of his men and asked:
do you reckon that fool bird had
anything to do with it?"
AS for Yank, the battle-scarred vet
eran. what was one wing more or less
He lived to see peace return to the
mountains, and to all Tennessee, and
to the nation. And you may be sure
he never played the principal part ir
any Thanksgiving dinner.
