''Rheumatiz, Henry; it's come

The warden showed him) into a
long," low room, : full of beds. It
seemed to be the sitting-room, too.
Half a dozen convalescents were
huddled round the stove, and from
a distant corner distressed breathing
told of a very sick. man. 3 :
' U was a poor place; -thereWere no
nurses; old men loafing there
through the -winter on pleas of ill

TJacIe Jerry -was very homesick.
He was seldom but of pain, and It
turt .him tojee how little chance to
get .well the poor fellows had. The
doctor's orders were often disre
garded, or carelessly,, fulfilled.
- One young boy was very sick with
the pneumonia in the bed next to
him. Uncle Jerry took to nursing
him.4 ' ?i -. . . -
"The poor had," he thought; "he's
too young to lose his chance of life."
He began to do things for the
others,; o. keep account of tho hours
for medicine, andi-Pin; it to each
rough Jhead board. He made gruel,
heated milk, and fixed; the fire.-The

WHEN BUYING THE
THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
When buying. ,the Thanksgiving
turkey have the butcher remove "the
leg sinews, as ,this will render the
drumsticks tender and' eatable; it can
be done with a fork, but it is difficult.
Put two tablespoonfuls of alcohol
in a saucer, light and over it singe
the bird; this is -much better than
paper, as it does -not blacken the
skin.
Cut off the feet below the joint:
.after roasting, the Ragged bones can
be broken off, leaving the leg ends
white. ' "
Cut off the" head as close . to the bill
end as possible. Slit the neck skin
along the backbone as far as the
shoulders. Draw it back and . pull
out the crop and windpipe, then cut
off the neck close to the body. The
long flap of skin is to be folded over
the back "leaving the breast 'un-
.marred.
Make a slit .just below the breast
bone, insert" two fingers, and loosen
all the organs from the sides of the
cavity. - Firmly rasp the gizzard; the
largest organ, and pull steadily out

moving the intestines intact. Ex
amine the cavity, making sure that
all bits of the lungs are removed, as
well as the kidneys.
If properly done, all that is now
needed is to wipe out the cavity with
a wet cloth. Cut out ..the oil sack.,
just above" the tail, and wipe the skin

under the breast skin and fill the
bedy cavity, drawing the edges of the
