ifif (criiwinn Mrn .A i 'I WJ1DER WHAT MINE WILL Bf. M MUSSELS ARE GOOD FOOD. Their Uao lit the United Ptatea llua lleon Very Miich'lsnulccletl. "Thcro Is 0110 slicllllsli, tlio mussel, the U80 of which as an ilrllelo of fooil seems to bo totally neglected In tho United States," observed an Htigllsh niun of several years' residence In this country to a Star reporter recently. "In fnet It Is so seldom employed that It may do said to lie prncucuiiy iiiiKiiunu on this side of the Atlantic. It Is rare ly seen In your markets, and near tho salt Water bays and estuaries In which It la taken It Is used, 1 am told, its u manure for certain crops. This lack of recognition of mussels as nn eplcu rlan delicacy probably arises from tho popular superstition among Americans that this shellfish possesses poisonous qualities. Such an Impression Is, how ever, rather absurd, for In Hiiglund they are largely consumed by the poor and middle class people, and If they contained any Injurious properties their use would be promptly prohibited. "It Is well known that some persons are unable to eat of particular sorts of shell llsh to some oysters, clams or lob- i k tors are more or less poisonous, but 1 mussels are only 'noxious' to thu great 1 er number for the reason that they do- j terlornte more rapidly when removed I from the water than any other species, i There are mussel beds within a radius of ten miles of New York and other east ern cities of suttlclent capacity to sup- I ply millions of people with n clean mid nutritious article of food; one that , would lessen to n large degree the ex haustive demands made upon the clam, oyster and lobster fisheries. "To prepare mussels for tho tnblo they should be selected of medium size and care should be observed to wash them carefully and place them In a ves sel of salted water for several hours, so that they may clean themselves; that Is, discharge the dirt and grit found within their shells. When this pro cess Is completed the bivalves should be placed In water and boiled or steaming Is better In the vapor generated by their own Juice. When they are done they may be easily taken out of their shells and are ready to be used In one of tho ninny forms of which they are suscep tible." Washington Star.

ATE on the day before Thanksirlv JLAmR tlle JOys wero returning after ' a day spent In tho wood, and all were In high spirits. They had succeed ed In trapping a rabbit, which wair now Blunt: over Dick Morris shoulder In sportsmanlike fashion, for lo him was due most of the credit of capturlug It, and he felt very proud. "What are you going to do, with the rabbit, mckt" Edward White ashed, gazing aurairingiy at u. "les, that's It," exclaimed Archie Ilbodes, "wbnt will be done' with it? bomebouy tell," "Why, cook it, of course," said Dick, nnu men a nappy inoiigut struck mm. "Ob, I'll tell you what, fellows. We'll have it for dinner to-morrow. What did we catch It for If we didn't want to use It?" And glowing with pride, he gave all the boys a hearty invitation to dinner at his home the next day. "It's a go!" shouted Fred Miller; "It's a gol J'll come early in the morning so's to be on time." With a burst of pleasure his compan ions joined him In accepting the Invita tion, and then all went home to dream of flie morrow's feast when they would partake of the spoils of the day's udven turo "Did you bring anything from town for our Thanksgiving dinner?" Mrs, Morris i was saying to her husband as Dick step ped in the door. Mr. Morris laughed. "Did I bring anything? Ila! ha! I brought a thirty-Gve pounder. I sold the colt this afternoon and turned all the money over to Pritchard and that just raised the mortgage on our home. I tell you, I was mighty thankful, aud I thought we'd celebrate the occasion 'mong ourselves with the biggest turkey we could get. How's that?" he said, holding, the fowl at arm's length. "Couldn't we hnve a rabbit, too?" Dick suggested as be laid his bundle on the table. "Mercy sakes!" exclaimed his mother, "where did you get that?" With reluctance Dick told how in the spirit of fun he had trapped the rabbit "OH, I KNOW WHAT I'Mi DO." und how Fred Miller's father had skinned and dressed it for him, and how he had invited all the boys to dinner. "Well," said his father. "I don't mind havin' the boys come, but plain, everyday turkey's all they'll get and that's cood enough for anybody. There won't be any frills on our dinner. And look ahere." he added sternly, "I don't 'prove of your irappm- ruuuits lor run." Dick was deeply disappointed and soon went to bed, but he couldn't sleep, and In the dead of night be stole out of his room. "This Is a nice Ox," he said. If he hadn't invited the boys, he wouldn't have cared. How would he tell them of the change in the menu of the expected feast? He simply couldn't do it, that was all. JSy the light of the moon that came -In the window he saw on the table before him the nimble little animal that he bad captured lying by the side of the big turkey, which had been made ready for tho oven find was fairly burst ing with delicious dressing. "Oh, I know what I'll do! There!" he said, as he unfastened the stout cord that bound the bulging sides of the turkey. scooped out the dressing, stuffed the rab bit in the ample cavity and fastened the cord again. "We'll hnve the rabbit any how, but nobody will know till it's cook ed." Then ho went back to his room. When he awoke In the morning the first thought that struck him was thnt his mischievous prank might spoil the whole dinner. Ves, he was sure it would, He had never heard of such articles of food being cooked together and he be came badly frightened. He hastened to undo bis work of the night, but It was too late. The turkey, with its strange consort, was already roasting to a nice brown In the oven, He felt very sorry and when the hoys came he took them aside and told them everything. "Say, that's the jolllest kind of fun," Archie laughed. "I'm clad I came!" "So an I," put in Edward. "What's the matter, Dick? You don't seem to en joy this." Dick thought only of' the spoiled dinner and what bis parents would say when they discovered bis trick. Soon dinner was ready, and the guests were seated. Then came the vital mo ment. Mr. Morris took his place at the head of the table and was about to cut the turkey. "I wonder what he'll say when he pulls the rabbit out," Fred whispered to Ar chie Rhodes. "Guess he'll wonder what the turkey swallowed," was the humorous answer, and then both laughed. "Cut that turkey. Sam." Mrs. Morris said to her husband; "what are you wait- ' ing for?" Mr. Morris looked around at the smll- j ing faces of his guests, then dug the knife ( deep into the savory fowl und suddenly stopped. "Salry!" addressing his wife, "you " ! The boys burst into n fit of laughter. Dick turned a deep crimson and stood I up: I "She didn't do it; I did it," he con fessed. "Sairy," Mr. Morris repeated, ignor ing his son, "you burned the gravy. I smell it." No, I didn't. There! Pass the dress ing around." With a spoon he scooped the delectable filling of bread crumbs aud chopped sau sage and chestnuts out of the breast of the fowl, piled it on the plates, which were then passed around Each boy star ed In astonishment ns he received his plate, and the meul began In silence. "And now, boys," Dick's father sold with a smile, '"when you're finished with thnt we'll fetch in the rabbit." And sure enough, it was brought In, covered with rich brown gruvy and slices of lemon. "Won't we have n fenst, though!" he exclaimed, looking at Dick. Hut this was too much of a surprise for Dick, and he hardly knew what to say. When the dinner was fairly started his father arose to make n speech while Mrs. Morris tried to repress a smile. "As this Is a day of thanksgiving," he began, "well all give thanks. First, 'cause the mortgage is all paid now, and second 'cause by a lucky streak the rab bit got cooked alone. It was discovered just In time. When two strange feet are found sticking out of a turkey where it ain't held together, 'taln't hard to guess what's happened, especially when all the dressln's left In a bowl right beside it and cverythln', generally, looks as If It had been done In the dark. But seeln' 'ut you'd captured the poor little thing and. wanted it so had, we Just thought we'd fix it up and serve it to-day, hopin' thnt In the future yaou'll never trap any more." All laughed heartily as Mr. Morris con cluded. For the first time that day Dick's mind was relieved of its crent lmninn and he Joined In the merry laughter. He never heard the end of his trick, hut ,, his parents had taken it so kindly he re spected their wishes aud never again In dulged In the sport of trapping rabbits.'
