Take out the giblets, which the buteber should have previously cleaned and replaced; put them into a saucepan with Plenty of hot water and boil them well. Tostuif the turkey, souk as much bread as you think will be needed, ill It can be eatly iashed; pour off the ‘water not absorbed, Pressing the bread well that It may not be too wet; add to this two well-beaten eggs, plenty of salt and pepper;ax much summer savory or sweet marjoram as you like, two tablespoon- fuls of meited pntier, and a little celery salt. Lay the turkey on its back and firststuff It at the neck, where the crop has been drawn. The skin should never be cut open there. but it always is; soft must be sewed up with darning cotton after stuffing 1tout to plumpness; com- mon thread tears the tender skin. Then stuff the carcass, sew up the opening, and, grasping the legs firmly, push them baek till the ends of the drumsticks can be tled to the rump: the place where the oll bug 1s eut oat makes a Rroove for the string: eut off the small pinion Of the wings, draw them close to the side of the bird. and secure by a string tied just at the ‘end of the breast bone; tie a siring about tthe and pull it down under the the neek should not be cut off this purpose. Rub the skin of the kev ail over with fine salt, and plentifully an- int it with sweet butter. Lay It ona rack in nd keep weil basted; roast urs, ooking judgment is more ns,since these must be mui sort of oven, the size of meator poultry, and the sortof fuel used. To make the gravy, skim off fall fat from the liquor im whieh the giblets are bolled, mash the liverand chop the gizzard and heart iine, omitting ail gristle und fat; put them: back into the liquor, season with salt, pepver, celery sait and a small pinch of clove; boil uy and thicken with a tablespooniul of flour rubbe Smooth In # tablespooniul of butter. THE HAM. A ham should be put on the fire fn a large pot of cold water; as soon as it bolls remove itto the back of the stove, and let it simmer till tender enough to receive a fork easily, not tender enoush to fall in pleces. Litt from the water then, remove the rind, put it ina dr pping pan bait tiled with elder or elaret, baste irequently then set away to cool, and J ornament with whole cloves stuck into the suriace. ROAST DUCKS must of course be youn. Stuff like the turkey, but flavor with sage and finely chopped onion, and do not over-do them. Make the gravy in the same way, only adding to it a wine-glass ot claret, or the juice of halt alemon. Wild grape jelly is better with ducks or game than cran- Ty sauce. THE CHICKEN PIE. For chicken pie, clean and cut up three or four chickens as you need, boll till a fork will penetrate, skim from the water and set away to cool; boil down the gravy well, skim off all fat, season With Sait, pepper, celery salt and a little nutmeg, thicken with flour and batter a littl For the erust,siit and weigh two pounds pastry flour, chop into this one and a haif pounds butter, chop weil, but not too fine; add & heaped teaspoon of suit; pour in gradually enough tee water to make the dough not too Stiff oF too soft; stir with a plated knife; never handle it at all: tarn always with a knife,” Tarn out on the pastry board, roll into a ‘square sheet, turn the sides over till they meet at the center and then the endsin the same way, and Toll out again; de this seven times and then set Your paste in the ice box or in the snow till you Want it. Itisso difficult to bake the under crust of a chicken pie that I prefer to roll out acrust a | little lonzer than the bottom of the baking dish, bake it well and lay tt in before putting in the chicken; but if you preter the soft paste line your dish with crust, put ima layer of chicken pueked neatiy, pepper and salt well; then another layer above that until the dish’ is ruil, cover with crust thicker than you use for the dish covering, cut a cross in the top with a sharp Knife and turn back each corner, leaving asquare hole; through this hole fill ihe dish with the gravy, set into the oven and bake tll well done. THE VEGETABLES. Bol! peeled potatoes thoroushiy, pour off the water and let them dry on the stove a minute or two; turn into a wooden bowl and mash tll no lumps remain; add plenty of salt, and hav- ing dissolved a liberal piece of butter in hot milk, add this gradually, still mixing with the Masiier till the consistence 1s but little stitler ‘Sweet potatoes should be well washed, laid on the oven floor and bakedat least an hour; serve in the skins, Take the roots and the white parts of the out- side leaves of celery, not used on the tabl serape clean, boil in ‘salted water till tender: pour off the’ water, add a little miik, boil up and thicken witi fur rubbed into hot butter; put in a little pepper; serve hot, Saisity is to be scraped clean, cut into lengths and cooked like the stewed celery. THE RELISHES. Piekled Cauliflower is made by parboiling the heads, previously cut in sinall pieces of the flower, then pouring off the water, packing in gla-s Or eartuen jars and covering with hot Vine ar spiced with whole cloves, cinnamon and broken nutmeg. Spiced Peaches: Seven pounds of fruit, three Of sugar, one quart of vinezar, one ounce of cinnamon, bali un ounce of cloves, Da oun of nutmeg: Wipe the peaches well, made a syrup of the other ingreaic fruit in tt til tender, and preserve in Wild Grape Jeily: Boil and strain the grapes.

Are the Australians Right in ning ‘Their Horses Barefooted.or are We?— Diflerent Steeplechasing—The Acei- dent Room. From the London Referee. In Australia all the horses race without plates. The Australians hold up their hands and wonder at our benighted ignorance when they are told that we still adhere to the princi- ple of racing with plates. To me the most ex- traordinary feature of the day at either Rose- hillor Randwick, in New South Wales, or at Monee Valley, in Victoria, was that of the smiths who removed the horses’ shoes before they went to the post, and replaced them di- rectly the race was over. So much is racing barefoot @ matter of creed here that fan owner were to run a horse with bis shoes on, even though they were only as thick as wafers, he Would be regarded as having run the horse without intending to win with him, and would in all probability be hauled before the commit- tee of management. If two horses, known or supposed to be of exactly the same calibre, were going to run in Melbourne or Sydney upon what we should consider exactly level terms, and one of them ran with plates and the other without them, long odds would be laid on the latter, and nobody would believe that there was not foul play If he was returned the loser. Tam assured that this belief is the result of ac~ curate and oft-repeated experiment; a set of the thinnest plates is looked upon as retarding @ horse (any horse) three lengths in the mile. What makes this difference from ourselves still more peculiar is that, asa rule, the Aus- tralian courses are much harder than our own. Except a couple of months in summer, and not, ways then, our tracks and training grounds are as soft aS the most tender-footed animal could desire. In Australia they go month after month without a drop of rain, Extremely dry and therefore hard ground, is what the Au! tralian horse always has to race over. ‘The more confident the Australians are that their system of racing without shoes is the only cor- rect system—und they are more confident about this than they are about anything else in connection with their departures from our- selves—the more extraordinary does itseem that some owner or trainer in England does not lay himself out to make the experiment under such conditions as will leave the result no longer a matter of dispute or discussion. Just as the riders make the best of thel home In the flat races so is the same §: ‘ursued in thesteeplechases, The way in which wen and horses gallop at their fences—and such fences!—inakes an Englishman hold bis breath in apprehension until he sees them get safely over. This te does notalways see. In the half dozen cross-country races ut which I have assisted no one of them has ended with- outcasuaity. Ihave already told you of the Jumps, as Fmeasure them at Flemington and Caulfield, at Rosehill and Randwick, and they are not s0 formidable, but they are all stout EXHIBITED AMONG NEW CLOAKING FABRICS are beaver cloths as soft and flexible as velvet which show a nap both outside and inside. ‘There are also other fancy cloths which are so thick that they need no lining. “These have canvas checked and netted meshes woven on their suriaces. Others are blocked and striped, and ail these goods come In most of the tashion* abie shades ot coior. VELVET BoNNETs are brought out in all the handsome shades noted in felt models, and are either plain, or embroidered in beads of various colors, or wrought in delicate devices in gold and silver threads.

Topaz trimming has the stoues set in fire gold cord meshes and bordered by tassels of tiny topaz beads and of chamois leather snd gold cord. Ruby and eimeral trimmings are arranged in the same anner. THERE 1S BUT LITTLE CHANGE to note in the fashion of furs. The most important this sea- son is the Introduction of a pelerine, with long “stole” fronts, very much atter the style of the cape with very long square ends worn o hundred years ago. The ascendency of furs this season is only in keeping with the preierence for deep-bued coiors in every portion of street attire, which with women ot refined and cultivated tastes nas passed beyond a caprice of fasion, and reached a fixed principle. Gray and golden brown furs are about the only exception to the rule, and these are used as linings and trim- mings. Natural beaver. otter tur and blue fox maintain their acquired position, and will be even more fashionable this winter than ever before. ————_-e+______ ‘The Trial of Biscoe.

A man takes his life in bis hand when he starts for @ cross country race in Australia, There is no allow- ance for mistakes, or for want of courage, or for exhaustion on the part ot either rider or ridden. It is sot much of a stretch of fancy—I am almost sure it is absolute fuct—to say that over such a steeplechase course as that at Rand- wick they gallop a couple of miles quite as fast as We gallop the same distance on the flat in England. I never realized what was meant by a horse taking a tence tour feet and a half in his stride until I reached the antipode: Really, it does seem as If steeplechasing were a trifle, or more than a trifle, overdone in these colonies. The entire business is very wouder- ful, but it has more than a soupeon of the shambles about it. The beautituliy dressed gentlemen who crowd the stands and lawns of Flemington when a big steeplechase has to be run have about them a good deal more of the Greek and Romans who went out to see with unflinening eyes combats to the death and other human sacrifices that we have or wish to have about ourselves in quiet, humdram, commonplace i.

SOME INTERESTING COSTUMES OF THE PERIOD OF QUEEN ELIZABETH. ‘From the Magazine of Art. The reign of Elizabeth may fairly be consid- ered the turning point In the history of gloves. Through long years, and keeping line with the growth of refinement and courtesy, the glove had been invested first with one asso- clation and then another, given part and lot in this custom, and that until it had come to hold a very prominent place in the economy of life. Both at wedding and funerals gloves Were offered as gifts so commonly as to be made a recognized feature of the social cere- monial proper Lo those occasions, Either for peace and in favor, or defiant and In dead!y anger, it has come to’ be as binding upon ordinary ‘transactions as a written deed, and as evident of purpose as if the presence of its owner had eniorced its evident intent. Par- licularly as a token of love, as though it gave in pledge the hand and regard of a fair lady, or as ucartel of war, threatening so much of ‘the venzetul punishment as the hand 1t had cov- ered could inflict, dia the glove play its part in Umes when both these sentiments were es- pechally cherished and avowed. It was made the regis of trade, insuring to chapmen_and chaffering purchasers of the wares they offered peuce an protection, and in agreements of grewter moment the glove was made witness fa promise given and the pledge of its fulfilll- ment. The donation of land toachurch, and some- times even the offer of bodily service was made good by the plucing of a glove upon the altar, and in the transfer of land—or, in occasional instances, of kingdoms—a glove was made a veritable’ lease, by virtue of which possession was taken and held. As securing sae paxsage, like a passport; as an offer of ‘unity, ike as thoush a friendly shake of the hand were profivred; even as a bribe, when It was often “lined” with good gold pieces to tempt men from their atlegianee or induce them to view a suit favorably, glove had many a mo- mentous message to convey, many an import- ant negotiation to open or to bind, See ee Nares Unbreakable Glass.

He at. once procured the ser- vices of Constable James Waillug, and about two miles from this place Mrs, Anderson was overtaken by the officer, who wok the child from its mother.

Pace, of this city, will be president of the Danville system. ‘some time past it has been evident thata tight race has been going on between whatis kaown as the Scott party aad the Logan parte for the control ot the Rich- mond and Danville_sysiem. The Terminal company controls 1,874 miles of the Richmond and Danville «ystem, including the Virginia Midland, the Western North Carolina, the Rich- fond and Mecklenburg, the Charlotte, Colum- bia and Augasta, and the Columbia and Green- ville, The company was incorporated in 1880, nedersue laws of vireinia, = broad = — for the pul of building, buying, leasing, Operating, “Rey lines of sfailroade’ because by its charter the Richmond and Dan- Ville railroad company could not lease oF operate any road that did not con- nect directly with its main stem. This charter has since been amended, however. The terminal stock was originally $3,000,000, but in 1882 it was" .creased to $15,000,000." The company received in cash from the sale of its stock $7,500,000, or $50 per share, and. spent this money and all iis reveaues in acquiring and building the properties mentioned. The meeting of the stockholders ot the Terminal company called for to-day was adjourned until Friday.” Mr. James B. Pace, who only in the last few mouths went into the Terminal, is considered the richest man in Virginia. He is President of the Planters’ National bank, of this city, and made his fortune In the tobacco business. His friends allege that he will not desire to take the presidency, but that it will be furced on him. He was ih New York last night, and is understood to have bought very largely of the Terminal, It is thought now that the Logan-Pace party have control of the Richmond ‘and Danville system, that the offices recently removed to Washington will be brought back to Richmond. After Thirty Years. AN ESTATE WASTED IN LONG-CONTINUED LIS IGATION. ‘Thirty years of litigation has been brought to close at Washington, Ga., by the settlement of the Eubanks estate. In 1840 a young man named Alired Eubanks came here from North Carolina and became overscer tor Dr. Randolph. Bg sharp trading he soon became the owner as well as the overseer of the estate. In 1857 he died, childless and intestate. Elzht brothers set up aciaim for the property. Of these five were whole blood and three were half. The five {ull-blood brothers enjoined the administrators from paying anything to the three half-bloods. It was shown that the half-bioods were the children of the elder Eubanks’ second wife; that she had married him without the formality of a divorce from her first husband, whom she Supposed to be dead; that after the birth of her third child the Enoch Arden in the case reap- peared and created a sensation in the family. This Injunction suit wax carried in the state supreme courtin 1858, which decided that the half bloods were illegitimate. An appeal was taken to the United States Supreme Court, which decided that the unfortunates were legitimate. ‘The war prevented further settle- ment until its close, when the original $20,000 wus reduced to $3,000.
