The OId-F ashioned THANKSGIVING.

Charles Dudley Warner writes as fol-
lows:
The night before thanksgiving was
perhaps the best of the whole, the an
ticipation and excitement almost reached
their climax.
Whatever the breakfast was, and it
was abundant, it always had one dish
chicken shortcake. I still believe that
nothing else ever made is so good as
chicken shortcake. What lot of s'dip %
it had; and how it assimulatsd with the
brown-coated, crystal-faked baked pota-
toes.
Everybody went to meeting, every
body, young and old, except the mother
OF the trusted oldest daughter, who
stayed at home to forward dinner. The
Westinghouse was full-fuller than on
Sunday. The sermon was a sober,
political "rouser.' Was it Parson Hal
lock, or Parson Circuit or Parson Field
preached it? It didn't spare the Am
monites,' nor the Utilities, nor the
other "ites," who had strayed away
from the good old federal principles.
It was all much like Sunday, and yet
cheerful Sundry-bright faces, greet
ings, and eager inquiries about "who
had come" After the services and the
long, long sermon ended, we did not
stay, as on Sunday during the inter
mission, to eat our doughnuts and APP
pies in the church, and nobody warmed
piece of half-trozen mince pie on the
stove; we went home, and went in per-
ceptibly gayer spirits than when we
came. Dinner was late, as late almost
as 3 o'clock. Every body was as hungry
as if he had tasted for year. What a
dinner it was, the blossom of all the
year! What could the boy do with a
choice of roast turkey, and roast chicken,
and roast duck, with chicken pie tc
come? A dinner is nothing but dinner
anyway, and no person at q given time
can possibly eat as much as he expects
to eat when his imagination has been ac-
tive on the subject for some time! And
then the dessert I remember a dinner
at which an attempt was made to serve
twenty-three distinct kinds of pie. Will
anybody not born In New England be-
lieve there are SO many kinds of pie?
1t was not certainly till after dinner
Eyes, there was little ciuer, but it had
not done much work yeti that the
solemnity Of the day could be fairly said
to have broken away, and the friskness
Of the youngsters began to have play.
But by evening real festive air pre-
vailed, and even drew the old folks into
it. Apples, cider, nuts, toasted cheese,
roaring wood fires, puss-in -the-corner,
unrestrained till the great tall clock in
the corner struck the awful hour of 10

THERE IS general impression that a
farmers life is one of the healthiest of
all. And SO it is if it be guided by iudg-
ment. But there are hundreds Of farm
ers and double the number of farmers
wives and daughters whose health has
been completely broken up by too much
work. Women on farms are often 3D.
pressed with work. Besides the house
work, they are often looked too to help
at the milking. There is no use in this,
or in trying to do too much. Planning
goes a great way toward tightening
work. Every morning, let reasonable
days work be contrived, and then when
it is accomplished stop. Don't think
because you have finished the settled
task long before night, these endless
days, that you must keep trudging on,
hunting up new things to do not laid
down in the days programme; unless
you want to wind up with fresh clean
house and the wreck of woman to en-
JOY it. If farmer can not make his
farm pay without making drudges of
his wife and daughters, he should quit
the business. A woman should have
some rest.
