Eggs vs.. Meat.

Would it not tie wise To substitute more
eggs for meat in our daily diet? About
one-third of the weight of an egg is solid
nutriment. This is more than can he said
of meat. There are no bones. no tough
pieces that have to be laid aside. A good
egg is made up of ten parts she'll. sixty
parts white and thirty parts yolk. The
white of an egg contains siXty-siN per cent

New England FrOnt Yards.

There might be written q history OF

wild flights OF Imagination about the
culture of plants under glass, the APP.

and the curious mngling and develop

in the simple time of the early colonists.
1t must have been hard when, after
being familiar with the gardens and
parks of England and Holland, they
found themselves restricted to front
yards by way of pleasure-grOunds.
Perhaps they thought such things were
wrong, and that having apeaSant place
to walk about in Out-OtdOorS would en-
courage idle and lawless ways in the
young; at any rate, for several years it
was more necessary to raise corn and
potatoes to keep themselves from
starving than to lay out alleys and
plant flowers and box borders among
the rocks and stumps. There is a
great pathos in the fact that in so stern
aud bard q life there was time or
place for any gardens at all. can

think that civilized New England is no
older than the little red roses that
bloom in June on that slope above the
river in Kittery. Those earliest gar
dens were very pathetic in the contrast
of their extent and their power of sug-
gestion and association. Every seed
that came up was thanked for its kind
ness, and every flower that bloomed

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The President on the 9TH issued the
following Thanksgiving proclamation:
BY the President of the United States 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 seasons, and to re-
turn solemn thanks to the all giving source
from whom they flow; and, although at
this period, when the falling leaf admonish-
es us that the time OF our sacred duty is at
hand, our Nation still lies in the shadow OF
its great bereavement, and the mourning
which has filed our hearts still finds sor-
rowful expression toward the God before
whom we but lately bowed in grief and sup
plication, yet the countless benefits which
have showered upon us during the past
twelve months call for our fervent gratitude
and make it fitting that we should rejoice
with thankfulness that the Lord in His inf
mite mercy has most signaly favored our
country and our people. Peace without and
prosperity within have been vouchsafed
to us. No pestlence has visited our
shores. The abundant privileges OF free
dom which our fathers left us in their wis
dom are still our increasing heritage, and
if, in parts Of our vast domain, some af-
Fiction has visited our brethren In their
lOfeSJ homes, YET even InlS Calamlty has
been tempered and in manner sanctiied
by the generous compassion for the suffer-
ers 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
deyout homage.
Wherefore l, Chester A. Arthur, Presi-
dent Of the United States, do recommend
that all the people observe Thursday, the
24th day of November instant, as a
day of National thanksgiving and prayer,
by ceasing, so far as may be, from their
secular labors, and, meeting in their
several places OF worship, there to join in
ascribing honor and praise to Almighty
God, whose goodness has been so manifest
in our history and in our lives, and offering
earnest prayers that His bounties may con-
tinUe TO us and to our children.
In witness whereof, / have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal OF the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the City OF Washington, this 4th
day OF November, in the year OF our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and eighty zone,
aud OF the Independence Of the United
States the one hundred and sixth.

A Rare South American Beetle.

The golden cucuyo which has been
at Titfany's for some time is dead. 1t
was one of four or five specimens of this
rare South American beetle in this city.
They are regarded with superstitious
reverence by the women OF South
America, and the few that are caught,
for the beetle is rare in its native coun-
try, are fastened in tiny letters of gold
and worn as an ornament A gold
or gold and jeweled band is placed
around the thorax to which is attached
slender gold chain about four inches
long which ends in long pin. This
pin is thrust into bouquet of flow
ers on the shoulder or on the hat, and
the beetle is left TO ramble the length
of the chain. 1t lis an uncanny. looking
black thing about two inches long. The
true South American cucuyo is a tree
beetle, a single specimen giving out
light enough in dark room to
enable one to read a newspaper. They
are capable of living without food for a
great length of time. There is one in
the city which is not known to have
eaten anything in two years. The bee
tie at Iiffanys probably died of over
feeding. 1t had not eaten any food for
six months. Its appetite was tempted
with sweetened water and rotten wood,
but the creature paid no attention to the
food. A piece of banana was placed in
thu box which served for its cage, and
it eagerly began eating it, and clung to
it for three days, when it was found
dead. 1t should be mentioned in con-
nection with the use of the living beetle
as an ornament to the hat or dress that
they have powerful jaws, and gnaw
Their way through anything except
metal in few hours ". Y. Tribune.
Both for its effect upon fattening
