TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. (Continued from first page.) son College student. Mr. Lodge is a native of this county and an other uf our boys, of whom we may be well proud. Last period of the session was taken by Dr. Woodruff. Sub ject-heading for culture." Some points brought out were: "Read some of the masterpiecos of literature," "Practice concen tra'ion of attention." Read much. The Honolulu Students drew a full house Tuesday evening, and their entertainment gave general satisfaction. Of course, space forbids any thing like a detailed account of the excellent talks by tbe instruc tors, and through the courtesy of Miss Blanche O Peck, the follow ing is the substance of Dr. Wood ruff's talk Wednesday morning on "Shakespeare." Among oth er things, Dr. Woodruff said: "There are two classes of liter atureliterature of fact and lit eratureof power and life. We will take for instance the scien ces. In a very broad way, we can say that literature includes all the writings of mankind. In the literature of law, history, medicine, botany, and Latin, the writers aimed to set forth fasts and principles not having any par ticular bearing on life or of beau ty, happiness and pleasure; and on tbe other . hand, there comes the literature- of power. You take the great writers that have moved the thought ot the world- writers like Shakespeare, Milton, Chaucer, Burns, Cowper, and Tennyson. Have these writers been talking about mere facts? No; they have not; they have been talking about things, principles, and-truths, as they are through out common humanity. It is the literature of power the litera ture of life and that is the kind of literature that always enables it to last. "In 1844, Emerson wrote "Now literature, philosophy, and thought are Shakespearized, his mind is the horizon beyond which, at present, we do not see." Two years afterwards, Walter Savage Landor wrote as follows: "A rib of Shakespeare would have made a Milton, and a like portion of Milton, all the other poets. Shakespeare was a phe nomenon." We will endeavor this morning to account for him upon the usual basis, setting aside a Divina intervention on the part of humanity. We believe that human nature becomes what it is by the three laws environ- meat, heredity, and effort Shakespeare's lather was John Shakespeare, a man who had a very fine standing in his own com munity a man who made money, 4 man successful in business up to a certain period; a man who be came the highest officer in his own town, and a man, on the oth er hand, who could not write and perhaps not read. It was com mon in England, at' that time, for men not to be able to read. His mother was a woman of extraor dinary qualifications. It is be lieved that she drew from the Ar den family that winch was the no west and the best, and that she gave to her son, William, that which was best HUST0NT0WN.

Glnd topynu outagain, brother Hurt Winegardner at Clear Ridge, invited Preacher Moyer and family, Jane Kerlin and daughter, and James Stevens all in on Thanksgiving to help him devour a big turkey. It is needless to say that Bert's crowd was equal to the occasion, and they have been giving thanks ev er Bince for his thoughtful gener osity. Rev. Moyer and family were the recipients last Wednesday of a generous donation from their friends at Hustontown and at Fairview, and arte very grateful to the donors not only on ac count of the material value, but on account of the evidence of ap preciation and good will.

" The people in this corner seem to be hustlers, they are all nearly through husking corn and some through hauling in. Bert Kline has about three days husking yet.

Last Wednesday night along about midnight some one visited Bert Klines chicken coop. We think he got away in time to save his life without any chickens. . , Sam mie Kline and wife were guests at Bert Kline's last week. John Bard completed Joseph B. Mellott 'a barn on tbe farm -on which Joe Swisher lives, the oth or week. 1 George Morton was in the Cor ner last week coon hunting. There was a great fire in tbe Corner during the past week. It commenced Saturday and lasted till Sunday at eight o'clock. - The Dinner. A simple dinner easily prepar ed consists of soup, turkey, mash ed potatoes, creamed onions, plum pudding and cheese. The soup should be a clear variety with noodle alphabets, vermicelli, or a few vegetables cut into cubes It must on no account bo heavy with vegetables. In olden times a jlear oyster stew preceded the turkey, and many people adhere still to this custom. There are so many delicious brands of soup on the market that one may be used for the Christmas dinner and thus make easier the task of the Christmas day. The soup may be served in soup plates io the kitchen and brought to the table, or from a tureen placed in front of the 'host. Warm the crackers in a slow oven before serving, or small crisp rolls may be passed. In selecting the turkey do not have it weigh less than ten pounds for anything less than this weight will be more of bones than flesh. From ten to twelve pounds is a good weight for a small family. Ii the breast bone is pliable when pressed, you may be sure it is a young bird, for this shows that the cartilage has not turned to bone, as is the case when the tur key is old. The flesh should be firm and dry. What variety of stuffing to use in the turkey or chicken depends on one's taste, but the old standard bread dress ing is generally liked. Space will not allow the detailing of how to truss and dress the fowl, but if, when ready to bake, the wings are folded back under the upper joint, tlie legs fastened to the body by a skewer, then the fowl laid in the pan breast down, the back up, the white meat so usual ly dry and tasteless, will be juicy and delicious. The basting and drippings running to the bottom of the pan are absorbed by the breast instead of the back, on which is very little meat. An hour before the fowl is done the breast is turned up and browned. Remember the fowl must be only two thirds full of the dressing to allow it to swell; if filled full the dressing will he soggy. If turkeys are too high priced, then substitute a chicken or joint of beef. In some localities capon is more reasonable than turkeys and just as delicious, some pco pie even preferring it. The fowl may be garnished with curled celery for tbe legs, a strip of lem on peel or green pepper fasten ing them in place, or a ring form ed from a slice of uncooked carrot may be used for this purpose. Should the plum pudding be con sidered too heavy, then let the meal conclude with a mince pie. Black coffee may be served at the end of thea dinner or during the service; it in the latter case use large cups. "A Christmas Din ner," in The Ladies' World for December. THOMPSON.
