OF America:
A PROCLAMATION.
1t has long been the pious custom of
our people, with the closing of the year,
to look back upon the blessings brought
to them in the changing course of the
seasons, and to return solemn thanks to
the sll-giving source IRON whom they
flow. And although at this period when
the falling leaf admonishes us that the
time of our sacred duty is at hand, our
nation still lies in the shadow of great
bereavement and the mourning which
has filled our hearts still finds its sor-
rowful expression toward the God be-
fore whom we lately bowed in grief and
supplication, yet the countless benefits
which have been showered upon rs dur
ing the past twelve months call for our
fervent gratitude and make it fitting
that we should rejoice with thankful
ness that the Lord in His infinite mercy
has most signally favored our country
and our people.
Peace without and prosperity within
have been vouchsafed to us. No pesti
lence has visited our shores. The abun-
dant privileges of freedom which our
fathers left us in their wisdom are still
our increasing heritage, and if, in parts
OF our vast domain, some affiiction has
visited our brethren in their forest hom IS,
yet even this calamity has been tempered
and in manner sanctifed by the gen.
erous compassion for the sufferers which
has been called forth throughout our
land. For all these things it is meet
that the voice of the nation should go
up to God in devout homage.
Wherefore, /. Chester A. Arthur, Pres
ident of the United States, do recon-
mend that all the people observe Thurs
day, the twenty-fourth day of Novem-
ber, inst, as day of national thanks
giving and prayer, by ceasing so far as
they may from their secular labors ana
meeting in their several places of wor-
ship, there to join in ascribing honor
and praise to Almighty God, whose
goodness has been so manifest IL our
history and in our lives, and offering
earnest prayers that his bountles may
continue to us and to our children.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington on
this fourth day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty one, and of the in
of the United States the one
hundred and sixth.

Advertising Agents.
WHAT THEY WANT AND HOW THEY GET IT.

In his address before the Michigan
Press Association, Editor Hine, of the
Lowell Journal, said:
There are few things that / would
like to see the country press resolved
upon, for its own protection and profit,
and, considering my subject already
closed, permit me to make one or two
suggestions for your careful and prayer
full attention.
l. Invent some terrible but sure
method of disposing of those advertis-
ing agencies which insist on advertising
in your papers at their own rates.
Don't murder them in cold blood until
you have exhausted all other justifiable
means to extinguish them, but get rid
of them in some way. Why, if we had
their united cheek at our disposal, we
could put up brass monument to their
memory in every State in the Union,
and have material enough left to start
several bell factories. Let's see-that
would be only thirty eight monuments
Yes, I'll take in the Territories, too.
Not long ago received from we'll
known advertising agency a letter of
instructions, which read as follows:
"You will please insert the inclosed
advertisement in your weekly thirteen
times, top of column, on second page,
following copy as closely rs possible,
and charge us $5 gross. You will mail
paper regularly to our address during
continuance of advertisement.
1t was worth SO net to insert the ad-
vertisement that this agency wanted for
SIS gross. My reply was as follows
GENTLEMEN Your kind favor of the
18th inst, offering me the princely sum
of 50. rs for inserting for you $40 adj
vertisement, is received and accepted
on the following conditions:
l. That you send me SO. % to bind the
bargain before the advertisement is set
up.
2. That you remit the 1915 at the
same time to balance the account.
3. That You shall not lie to me by re-
plying that you can get the same adver-
tisement inserted in the best weeklies
for So gross.
You will please remit by postoffice
money order or New York draft, paying
exchange yourselves.
Ihaven't heard from that agency since.
I rather think the correspondence will
not be continued. Very likely the agency
will withhold its patronage from my
paper. If ] can have my way it will,
unless it pays reasonable rates and sends
the ''sugar" quarterly in advance.
1t is time the country press sat down
on all advertising agencies that insult
us with such propositions.
You go to clothing store and select
suit of clothes worth $50 and say &c
the proprietor, "You please do that suit
up and charge me S15 for it" and you
will probably continue to wear your old
clothes.
The country press is independent o.
such advertising agencies, and [ trust
the time will soon come when their lack
of business will compel them to shut ur
shop.

How to Boil Rice.

Few cooks seem to know how to pre-
pare this article of food properly, SO a
hint or two will not be ont of place here.
The rice must be carefully picked over,
and then washed in cold water until it
is free from all the loose starch which
which may adhere TO it, or until the
water looks clear. Then dry it. It can
be put in a flour sieve for this purpose.
In placing it over the fire, use three
pints of water to cup of rice and a
teaspoonful of salt. The water must be
boiling before the rice Is added. Boil
precisely twelve minutes. and then pour
off the water. Then place the sauce-
pan with the rice on the back part of
the stove, where 1t will be kept warm
without burning, for ten minutes longer
with the cover partly removed. In this
way it is not soggy, or too soft, and
every grain is cooked separately by
itself. After being cooked, if left
covered, it will soften and the grains
will burst open in their delicate tender
ness.

Z" looked and saw your eyes
In the shadow of your hair,
As q traveller sees the stream
In the shadow of the wood;
And said, My faint heart sighs.
All me to linger there.
To drink deep and to dream
In that sweet solitude
Il looked and saw your heart
In the shadow of your eyes,
As a seeker sees the gold
In the shadow of the stream;
And said, All me! what art
Should win the immortal prize
Whose want must make life cold,
And Heaven hollow dream?
Il looked and saw your love

As diver sees the pearl
In the shadow of the sea
And murmur, not above
Ny breath, but all apart
'Ah, you can love, true girl,
And is your love for me?"
