the delicacy of the dish that today there
are probably more veterans of the trade
among the latter than the former. The
opossum deserves its reputation as a first
class viand. It is a remarkable animal
and is very choice in its feeding. Its
flesh is firm, finely fibred, tender and
well-flavored. It occupies a half-way
place between an English hare and a
squirrel, but to many is superior to both
these creatures.
In the fall and early winter it is usual
ly over fat, the animal resting during the
cold season and living upon the stores of
oil accumulated in its little body. In
the the spring it grows thin and in March
and early April it is quite lean. These
facts should be borne in mind by the
housekeeper a fat opossum, according
to the darkey cooks, is one thing and a
lean opossum is another. The former
should be parboiled before cooking.
During the operation a large part of the
fat melts and rises to the surface of the
pot, where it may be strained off. The
lean opossum requires no preliminary
boiling. According to Southerners a fat
opossum should be boiled and then roast
ed in a hot oven until it is a crisp brown
on the outside. A lean opossum should
be stewed, jugged, pot-roasted, or con
verted into what the Germans call a
"pfeiler." Another way of cooking the
animal, especially when it is fat, is first
to boil it, then cover it with flour and
bread crumbs. Acidulate the surface
with vinegar; rub in sugar, spike it with
cloves and pieces of cinnamon, and then
bake it. The flavor of the spices and the
vinegar permeate the flesh and give it an
aromatic zest of no mean order.
As to 'taters ! Only the Georgia sweet
potato is meant. This is better flavored,
richer and more nutritious than the pale
yellow tuber of the North. It is good
boiled, roasted, fried, saute or baked
and best of all when cooked in the pan
with the opossum itself.
'Possums are numerous about Pine
hurst, but they are not much in demand
among the Northern visitors. The col
ored residents of the vicinity, however,
show the whites of their eyes when the
animal is mentioned.

She Was Iart and l'arcel of the
Noutltem Home.
The old black mammy was an incarna
tion of motherly love and sympathy,
writes a contributor to the Century Mag
azine. She stood between you and dan
ger ; amid the turmoils of childhood there
was always one sure rock against which
the waves of parental ire could beat in
vain. When mother was severe, the old
nurse used to run into the yard, carrying
her charge and crying, "Put down dat
slipper, Mis' Lee ! Yer ain't gwine tech
my chile, dat yer ain't!"
Although slavery days were passed,
yet old Ca'line stoutly maintained, "OP
mis' and de chillun 'longs ter me jes' de
same, an' Fs jes' as happy as I was 'f o'
freedom broke out."
One fine day little Alice, aged seven,
came sniffling home from school with a
bad report. The teacher had hurt her
sorely by telling her it was the worst re
port in school, and that if she did not
study harder she would be punished
severely.
Alice hunted up faithful old nurse
Ca'line, and found her perched on the
railing of the back gallery, combing her
hair in long "corn rows."
She quickly spied the heart-broken
child, ran to her, and carried her up the
steps on her shoulder. Then, setting her
down and untying the little blue lawn
sun bonnet, and wiping the tears away
with her own clean white apron, she be
gan indignantly :
"What ails ma precious baby, humph?
What's dat yer say? Bad erport? Don't
yer neber let mecotch yer bringin' home
anudder bad erport. I'll w'ar yer out ef
yer do."
"Why, Ca'line, I didn't know you'd
mind!" sobbed Alice.
"Mind!" screamed the mammy. "Co'se
I mind! Don't neber bring 'em home!
Burn 'em up! Dat's what yer do wid
'em ebery time, honey burn 'em up.
Don't yer mind what dat good-fer-nullin'
teacher say. Jtllss Susie ought ter be
"shame' on herself, great, big, tall 'oman
like her a-mekkin' ma leetle baby cry !
She done fergot when she lib near our
house; she was a perfee' limb ob Satan.
Ax her ef she done fergot when she's a
chile, an' de time she done put de daid
cat in de teacher's desk. Dese heah
teacher ladies seem like dey-all done fer
got dey eber was chilluns. Go 'long;
you're de smartest chile us eber had. l's
tuk notice, honey, dat dese chillun what
neber misses a lesson, an' stand at de
head ob de class, dey it mighty hard ter
lib wid, an' dey ain't vvuth killin,' an'
when dey is growed up, dey cyan't make
a half-way libben.
"Come 'long in de house; nobody'd
fink yer been cry in,' an' I'll wash yer
face. I sabe some gingerbread fer yer."

MiNft TetYltNliui'y's Calendar of ine-liui-Kt
Heady for delivery.
.Miss Tewskbury's "Souvenir Calendar
of Pinehurst" is off the presses and ready
for delivery ; easily the most dainty and
attractive thing of the kind ever issued
here. The cover is an appropriate pine
bough design in gold and green, printed
on low-toned cover paper, and the inside
is a pretty effect in red and green printed
on heavy plate buff paper.
Each calendar page bears two months
with a verse for each month, and a pho
tographic reproduction of some local
scene of interest interwoven through the
calendar are several large reproductions
of Pinehurst environs, accompanied by
appropriate verse.
Here are two of the verses.
J is for January
The month in the year,
When from cities afar
Pinehurst's friends gather here!
F is for February
Height of the season ;
There is no winter here
A very good reason !
For the present the calendar may be
obtained of Miss Tewksbury at The Marl
bsrough. The edition is limited and the
calendar has been copyrighted. It is
probable that the demand will exceed
the supply.
A Lament.
I wish I could, I wish I might, have
the good will of all at sight; but lean
not no use to try it ! Exchange.
Which?
