"In purching a turkey," says Ta ble Talk, "choose a fat hen not weigh ing over thirteen pounds.

The turkey should bn basted with its own fat cycry fifteen minutes while roastingja tcasponful of salt should be added at the end of the first hour and the tur key should be well dusted with pep per." m m The following is a little girls essay on a cow: "A cow is an animal with four legs on the under side. The tail is longer than the legs but is not used to stand on. The cow has cars that wriggles on hinges, so docs her tail. The cow is bigger than the calf, but is not so big as the elephant She is made eo smill that she can go into the barn when nobody is looking. Some cows are black and aoae book. A dog was once tested. She tossed the dog that killed the cat that wor ried tbc rat. Black cows give white milk; so do other cows. Milkaaea sell milk to buy their little girls dressc s, which they put water ii and chalk. Cows chew cuds, and each finds its own chew. That's all there is about a cow. " Do figures lie? Let as see. Two women had thirty chickens each, which they took to market. They aggreed to divide equally the pro ceeds of this sale. One sold her chick ens two for $ 1, getting for ber thirty chickens $15. The other sold hers three for 1, getting for her thirty chickens $10. This made $25 realiz ed on the sixty chickect. The mer chant called on to divide the aoncv at said:'1 You sold your thirty chickens two for $1, and you sold yours thirty three for $l.That makes sixty chick ens at the rate of five for $2. Well. five into sixty goes twelve times twice twel?e is twenty four. That makes $24 your chickens brought" But, as shown above, the women actually bad $25 ia tkeir pockets, and were rightfully eatklei te it, although seemingly the merchant's figures arc otrreet, Caa aaj pamil of the ataoai tell ma wherein tkey are wroag?

Marsh our worthy P. M. had moved the post office to the Outhwaite building on 4th avenue, decidedly the b?t and most centrally locate 1 position for the post office in the eity. Then' was scarcely an early riser but what went marching down to the old place for the mail never discovering that "it was not where it used to be" un til he had gone to the lear end of the building. It is a good move and should be appreciated by the general public. Bl'MTLES MUST ('A. In the early days of Methodism it was the custom in church for saint and sinner to humbly kneel during prayers, and in those days it was con sidered wicked and worldly for a sister to dress except in the plainest manner Feathers, sealskin sacquc.- and jewelry were an abomination, and there was not much hope that a woman dressed in the fashions of the day wou'd ever even get within sight of the pearly gates. But what a change has come of late years; the sisters dre.-s in the highth of fashion, the brothers sport Uold watch chains, diamond shirt studs and other jewelry, and even the ministers in the pulpit look as though they had just stepped out of the fish- ion plates of some elaborate merchant tailoring establishment. Well The CHIEF is not going to quarrel or cavil about the change, for we believe well dressed men and women can enjoy re ligicn as well as the good old Chris tians of homcsitun davs. and it is a pleasure to go to church and see such congregations. But a great change has come into the form of worship, the humble position f knceliog in prayer has been abandoned, and both saint and siunor now sit bolt upright, and while the minister is interceding in their behalf both men and women are gazing around taking an inventory of each other's dress and appearance. This fact worried one of our eminent divines living not more than a thous and miles from this city, and recently he saw fit to rebuke the members for not kneeling in prayer, a they u-cd to do, and deplored the evil days into which Methodism had fallen. He in sisted that at least in the social pray er meetitg every devout worshipper should get down to business and pray in the gcod oli fashioned way. He thought perhaps the architectural con struction of the pews might have a little to do with it, and made that at an excuse in general service, but thought that at prayer meetings the members ought to conform to tbc old i nsaces and kneel.
