How to Cook a Turkey.
A good authority on the sub ject gives
the following full directions for cooking
a turkey: French works on cooking
tell us that poultry and game should
never be washed. This may do for
French markets and appetites, but where
poultry is sent to market undrawn, the
inside is sometimes sour, and apt to give
an unpleasant taste to the starting and
the flesh as well. If the fowl has been
drawn as soon as killed, and the gall has
not been broken, it will not need wash
ing; biit if there is the least suspicion
of taint, wash it well in cold water, to
which a teaspoonfu! of soda, and two of
salt, have been added. There is an

of the will depend upon the
skill of the cook. Add all seasonings a
little at a time, and taste to see when
you have it right If you have not served
an oyster soup previously, an oyster or
celery smiling is most excellent. Use
as much of the oyster liquor as may be
pece-sary to moisten the bre id, diluting
it with half the quantity of water or
milk, and about two dozen small oysters
to a ten-pound turkey. In this case an
oyster sauce must be served with it.
For this, bring to a boil the juice of
half a pint of oysters and one-half pint
of milk, also boiling; thicken with two
teaspoonfuls of flour wet with cold
water, *dd the oysters, give one boil,
and serve. For a celery stuffing the
celery must be stewed and mixed with
ihe bread crumbs, which should have
been mqistened w ith hot milk. A sauce
is made a half of

pieces and stewed until tender: season

giblets chopped fine, and put a dash of
lemon-juice to the seasoning. Serve
currant or cranberry-jelly, ’ ’ or spiced
plums with the turkey.

The Thrifty Natives of India.
There is no abstemiousness in the
world and no thrift like the thrift and
abstemiousness of the average native of
India. Millions of men in India, espe
cially deltas, in the richer soils and in the river
live, marry and rear apparently
healthy children upon an income which,
even when the wife works, is rarely
above two shillings a week, and fre
qucntly sinks enabled to eighteen do pence. The
Indian is to this not so much

is cheap, a European who ate the same
food, would want live times the money
