HOW TO COOK THE TURKEY.
Some Practical Advice Given by a
New York Chef.
There is a chef in one of the larg
r New York w ho is famous for
his roast turk.y.
Turkey under li -
hands comes out net only a beautiful
brown, but of a delicious flavor quite dif­
ferent from any other turkey that ever
was seen. The turkey meat Is positive­
ly rich, and even the white meat that is
generally dry has a moist, spicy taste.
This is his recipe for roast turkey:
Clean the turkey with as little handling
as possible aud rinse with water in which

Charlie’s Thanksgiving
NE year ago, Charlie had come t
the city to make his fortune. II

He was standing on a street corner
with hands thrust deep down into his
pockets, and wearing the same clothes
lie hud brought froui home. Hut th.
clothes were soiled und worn threadban
and shiny, and the shoes were unblacked
and the hat lacking part of its brim; and
long ugo he had discarded such extras
at collars and cuffs. The lingers i.f one
hand played idly with his two last half
dollars, both of which were owed lot
the poor little room lie rented on on.. <f
the back streets; and the other fingers
touched several pawn tickets, which in
had no expectation of redeeming, in
deed, he was wondering dully it there
were anything else in his trunk which
could be pawned. He liad hud no break
fast, and there was no prospect for a
dinner—and this was Thanksgiving.
A few yards away, a street boy was
sitting on a dry goods box, swinging
his bare feet industriously to the turn
he was whistling. But his eyes were
fixed on the listless figure of his neigh
bor.
“Say, country,” he called, suddenly.
“what you thinkin* of?”
Charlie flushed, but did not answer.
"Come, don’t make an owl o’ y<»ur-
Belf,” the boy went on; “there’s nothin’
iu this world to fret over. Look here,’'
swinging his legs upon the box: “no
clothes to spare, an’ what there is ain’t
much for cold weather; an’ my jacket’s
lost an arm, an’ my shirt most o* one
shoulder; an’ furthermore,*’ pausing to in­
dulge in another bar of the street ditty
he was whistling, “I ain’t h id no break­
fast. an’ only a cold pertater for supper
last night; an’ still I ain’t no spilt milk
to cry over.’* Hi.« legs swung back into
space and beat a lively accompaniment
to the conclusion of the tune. Then he
looked at Charlie.
“Now, what’s broke with you?” he de­
manded. “You ain’t stalled, an’ you’ve ,
got shoes on your feet.”
“But I can’t eat my shoes,” Charlie '
retorted; “ami the two pieces of money
1 have left are to pay for my room. And
—and what’s worse, I’m out of a job
*Twa«n*t much—«weeping out offices but
it meant a room and something to « it.”
The street boy stopped drumming and
looked at him w ith more interest.
“’Tis sort o’ bad.” he acknowledged;
“an* you bein’ from the country an’ know-
in’ nothin’ makes it worse. Wbat'd you
come for?”
“Why. to get rich, of course.” Charlie
answered, “what does any one come to
the city for?*’
“Huh!” derisively, “an* here I’ve been

A RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL.
Significance of Thanksgiving Day
Should Not Ke Forgotten.
There is danger tu it the religious slg-
nifitance of Thanksgiving day may be
for-otten. We so soon grow accustom­
ed to <>ur blessings that we accept them
as a part of the general order of things
ami naturally become ungrateful by pure
forgetfulness or IndifTerenoe. But as a
matter of fact most things which come
to us come by the pure favor or courte-
sy of others, and bow unworthy do we
consider the ingrate! writes ltev. S. T.

with which we meet. We consider him
even uncivil who does not spontaneously
xay or write “Thank you” for the *.ivors
and kindm'ss shown him by his fellow
man. And this word of grateful «¡.pre-
elation is never lost. Even if It m.iy
stem to have no effect upon him for
n »ffi it w;i« given, it will not be ' -t
upon those who hear, nor will its influ­
ence be powerless upon him who bestows
it. A cultivation of the thanksgiving
habit will make to grow the sense of ap­
preciation. an«l as a result our spirts will
be sweet» ned. our souls enlarged end
the whole horizon of life b» aut:fi-d. Then
the ordinary affairs of life will never
more be .mmonplaee: our conditions and
surroundings will always appear in a
fresh light. This iff significant. The

Now break up about half n pint of lucid

links of pork sausage. Stuff the turkey
with this mixture and just before put­
ting into the oven bind suit pork on the
breast of the turkey. Remote the pork
just before the turkey is taken from the
oven.
When the meat is carved, its
flavor will lie found very superior. Tins
is particularly to be recommended for
the Thanksgiving turkey, which, with so
many other dainties rivaling it, must
be very appetizing to be enjoyed.
The First Thanksgiving.
The fishermen were ordensl “to scoi.r
the sens for spoil,” the hunters "to
shoulder their matchlocks and bring in
such game as would allow the Mayflower
colony in a more special manner to re-

contributed to ft» feast five doer and s

introduction of the young colony to its
afterward favorite shellfish and the wom­

The menu of that immortal dinuer has
not, alas! been preserved, but it is known
that the two di«h»s most fully appro
elated by the Indians ns well as the
Americans were the “brown roast tur­
key” and the pmnpkin pic. The great

l or flu* Thanksgiving Dinner.
J think a Thanksgiving dinner table
should be differently decorated from one
for any other occasion. It should look
loaded. My centerpiece will be a big
scooped out pumpkin. with the edges scal­
loped, tilled with fruit arranged prettily
on leave, l.unamis, oranges, lady apples
and grapes.
At one end of the table will lie a rep­
resentation of a mammoth pumpkin pie

low tissue paper around the edges und
filled with sawdust, In which Is conceal­
ed trifles, one for each person present,

will make the top of the pie. At tile close
of dinner it will be passed, and every
one will get a pull slid » package. At

a bowl of yellow chrysanthemums- the
