FifHtYon Get Your Tirrt ami Hero Are Directions for Cooklne it- Homo TliniikHKlvliifj Me nus The Dcbscrt. So few persons have the privilege of a perfect Thanksgiving dinner , for the lm pie reason that the majority of in dividuals live at a distance from the abundant markets of our lurgor cities writes Mrs. S. Y. and Miss'Anna Rorer , In the Ladles' Homo Journal. I3ut for nil this , the succobs of a dinner depends greatly upon the tact and talent of the housewife. If she has the power to hold the appetite of her guests until the end of n thoroughly good dinner , and can assure them getting up from her table In u comfortable state of body and mind , she is indeed nn artist , and would prob ably have the power to servo a lovely dinner , oven in the midst of a forest. Do not attempt a grand dinner , but liavo a satisfactory ono. Begin your dinner , if it is convenient , with throe oysters to each guest. This may scorn a small allowance , but it Is preferable lo the conventional six. Have the plates filled with cracked ice and nicely garnished with water crest , the oysters in tholr deep shells , neatly disposed of in the ice. Lot your tnblo bo well laid with the best china- you posses , and a Spotlessly whlto table cloth. Allow no ilngylooking goblet or dull silver to do- stroy the whiteness of the linen or the brightness of the table. Carl Benson tells us , ever and ever again ho has had generous feasts transformed into bar baric meals by hick of clean plates , clean forks and clean glasses. On Thanksgiving day every American family makes an effort to dine on tur key. The turkey , being a gift for which all Americans should bo thankful , seems especially appropriate lisa Thanksgiving offering. If you are a town dweller you must secure your bird from a poulterer ; and lot mo whisper to you not to rely too implicitly on his judgment. Tastes dlllor , and upon this occasion you wish to suit your own. Some persons prefer a gobbler to a hen turkey , but I will advibo you n hen. The moat is whiter , sweeter and more tender. The bill and toes should- soft , and the ilosh have a bluish-White east , twelve pounds being nn exceedingly good weight. The fortunate country dweller has his own turkeys , or should have at least , and can mold them at will. The feed can bo so managed that the meat will bo white , tender and of a dollcato flavor , or the flavor may bo greatly heightened by a change of diet. Chopped turnips , cabbage and parsley , varied with corn meal , boiled rice and chopped celery tops Impart a peculiar gamoy flavor , which to many persons is very uosirablo. This food may bo given three or four days before killing. Select a largo , fat , tender turkey , and have It nicely dressed , drawn , washed , wiped dry and well singed. Rub it allover ever insldo and outside with popper and salt. Make a stulllng of the following ingredients : Ono pound of light bread crumbs , half a pound of butter , n , heap ing tablespoonful of finely minced onion , salt and popper , ono raw egg and enough water to inlx rnthor soft. StulT the breast first , and sow it up , then stuff the body. Rub'tho turkey all ever with molted butter , and dredge well with sifted Hour. Lay It in the pan on its breastand pour In a quart of cold water. IIuvo the oven well heated but not too hot , as the turkey must cook slowly to bo done. Allow a quarter of an hour to encli pound. Hnvobomo butter In a plate with u lardlug mop. Frout time to tlmo baste the turkey with the gravy in the pan , rub ever with the larding mop and and dredge again with Hour. As it browns turn from side to sldoand last of all brown the breast. Frequent basting , dredging and turning will insure uerfoct cooking. When done it should bo a rich , dark brown all over , and when a fork is stuck deep Into it no red juice should run. Remove it to a hot dish and , if the erravy is not qulto thick enough , add a tcaspoonful of flour creamed smooth with some of the grease skimmed from the gravy. If while cooking the gravy in the pan boils away too much , more water should bo added , when the turkey is done there'should bo about a pint of gnwy , The following menus are simple , and composed of dishes easily procured , by all people : Oysters on the Half-shell. Clear Tomato Soup. Salted Almonds. Olives. Ccjery. Tlinbnlo of Salmon. Sauce llollandalso. Potato Balls with Parsley Sauce. Turkey. . Cranberry Sauce. Boiled Uice. Pens. Sweet Potato Croquettes.

The dessert of a Thanksgiving dinner which , if * properly managed , can bo made the most attractive feature of the dinner , should bo arranged with skill and good tasto. Arrange the various fruits on high glass dishes , decorate them with nn abundance of lovely fresh leaves , and have them placed on the table from the commencement of the meal. These , , with the addition of plenty of carulully selected flowers placed in small yases and mixed freely with some delicate ferns , will impart a most dainty nn'd artistic appearance to the whole. ' A Win no mo Missouri Girl. Ella Ewincr , a-.timid country girl from Scotland county , Missouri , poked hot head through the transom of her room at the Commoroial hotel the other night and called to the porter to put more coal on her fire , sn.ys the Chicago Times. Miss Ewing wasn't ' standingon a table era a chair when she did this , but on the lloor. She is weight foot high in her stocking feet and weighs 234 poundsand is not yet dono- growing or fully devel oped. Her fath'or can walk , with a plug hat on , under her outbtrotohcd armsand her mother can hldo beneath the gen erous folds of her skirts. The girl was brought up to agriculture and is a model farm hand. Two years ago , Mr. Ewinp says , she raked thirty acres of hay with n sulky mko , and there are very few young mon'of her ago in the northern part of Missouri who can more skillfully handle a team of horses. Louis I. Ep- stean visited the Ewing mansion a num ber of times before ho finally succeeded In securing1 the girl for exhibition pur poses. She is now holding daily levees at Epstein's Randolph street museum. Her father and mother accompanied her hero. llio liciiKtli nrthoMU ; . Stanley makes the length of the Nile 4,100 miles. Dr. Blrnoys.ourea catiiiTU , I5cobldg' THANKSGIVING EVENING. Games and Amusements for the Chil dren to Cclobratn It. If you can't make "the children's hour" happy every night , lot something go by the board and do BO on holiday nights. Lot Thanksgiving bo a night of rollicking fun for the children , little and big. In after years when they are away from homo its Influences will linger around them still , says .the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Your son or your daugh ter may bo kept "in the straight and narrow way" by the remembrance of just ono happy homo night. A simple game that oven the baby can almost take part in is called "Pish , flesh or fo'wl. " The loader must stand and to "Fish Ilosh fowl " say ono , , or ; then , if before ho has counted five , that ono does not give the numo of some fowl , lie must pay a forfeit. Tlioro islets lots of fun in this game , for , in his ef fort to think of some fowl quickly , ono is likely to got confused and cry out "eels , " or "elephants , " forgetting that those are unlikely fowls , The leader must talk rapidly for the older folk , but more slowly lor the little ones. It will incite the latter to look up all the avail able names of fowl when they know this game is to bo played. If there Is a largo party of boys and girls , if cousins or neighbors have boon asked In , "Tho .Tolly Mariners" is an enjoyable game. liavo the pallor doors opened so as to pass throuph ono door and out at the other. The boys all march around , the ono who takes the load with a handkerchief ever his shoulder , and all singing : Wo are a set of jolly , jolly lads , Who have Just arrived on shore ; Wo spend our days in many merry ways , As wo have done before. And no will turn around and 'rounil , Anil ho who llnds a very pretty pirl Must kiss her- kneeling down. Having chosen his "very pretty girl" and saluted her , ho sprcaus his hand kerchief for her to kneel upon , while the girls sing : It's a bargain , ix bargain for you. young man , It'sabarBtttn , a bargain for you ; You've ' given your word , now keep It true , Aud love her ull you can , For this Fine Cook Stove , Worth $13.00. Then another lad takes the load and the song is repeated until all the girls have boon chosen. There isn't much to bo said for the motor or rhym of thnso vor.scs , but the boys and girls will not bo too critical about that , and those who object to boys and % girls of tender years kissing ouch other may loach the former to make u ourtly bow instead. "My father's got homo from India , " is a game thnt never fails to briny down the house. Seat the children on three sides of the room , and let the loader Bit so that ho can bo facen by all. Ho must then say , ' 'My father's got homo from Indiii , " "What did ho bring you' ? " one must bo inbtructed to ask. You reply , "A fan"and , then begin to fan yourbdlf with your hand , which all must imitate. Then you repeat the remark about the return of your father and another nsks , "What did ho bring you ? " 'Two fang , " fanning with both hands , which all must imitate. To the next question the answer is , "Two fans , n boot and a shoo , " which necessitates that both hands go through the motion of fanning , while the foot tap the floor. To the next you reply , "Two fansa boot , a shoo , anil a hat , " and then the head must ho nodded. The first one who mthsos nny motion muht imy a forfeit , and it lo neediest * to say that the for feits arc many. Jt is really good exor cise , and nltor the little ones have boon thoroughly instructed in gnmes'of this kind , they will relieve you of tholr care through many a busy hour.by playing them among themselves. An impiosslvo ceremony that can scarcely bo called a ( , 'iimo , in to ask each one what lie has had to bo thankful for through the past year , beginning with the youngest. I do not need to dilate on this , it will harm none of us to re count our mercies. Tlwt yours may have been , and may ever bo many , is my sinccro wish. ThlnkB the Mormons Mean It , "I bollovo the Mormons really mean this latest revelation against polygamy , " said theHon. . 13.1J. . Ferry of Park City , Utah , to a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. "Wo'vo ' got to take It in good faith. Of course all this stuff about it'/ being a revelation is nil bosh , but it means t&at the church has seen that it's time to stop. The saints carried the state , but the liberals run tliroo cities- Salt Lake , Ogden and Park City nifiT came pretty near to a majority iu Provost and Corinno. It's only nquosi tion of tlmo when the liberal party-will bo In the ascendancy. Then It will bo time to talk about Htatohood. It isn't that wo object to the church BO much. You people in the east don't scorn to BOO that it iin't ' a question of religion nt all , but the thing wo kick nguinst is the hierarchy. Why , the Roman Catholio church in the palmiest days of the in- qulsition never so thoroughly controlled every member as lees the Mormon church. The bosses of that organisa tion can swing every man. The church has got a great hold on the first genera tion. The church runn a sort of immi gration agency. It picks up the com mon peasantry ever in England , Wales , Norway , and Sweden ignorant folks - who have never had n foot of land or a glass window in tholr houses and fetches them ever hero and lots thora have land pretty cheap and on long time. They go to work anil pay oil the ( debt. They swear by the church. 13ut ( if their children got into town and llnd t out how rosnoctablo folks live and that { it Ibn't fashionable to marry ono woman because she's a good cook , and another because she can do the up-hlairs work , and another to tend to the hurnes , then they break away from the church , ThaS second gcnoration is largely liberal , and it nlbo dochii't ' believe in anything nbova the roof. It is agnostic. Thatlsth < way Mormon Urn works. " Tlio nrocm ami tlio Itnroinatci- .
