Probably the great majority of American
citizens, II their Thanksgiving thoughts ran out
in that direction at all. gave thanks that they
were not born Indians. Their self-complacency
over their own superiority to the red man
would have been disturbed. perhaps had they
read the view Of the situation that was taken
by Chief BUsHY HEAD in his Thanksgiving
proclamation to the Cherokee Nation:
" The surviving red men have profound gratitude to
the Great Sacem for their prosperous and progressive
condition In this Territory Ia true their treaties pro
vide that the Indian should become extinct but
while Thanksgiving Days last and are sincerely kept
need not fear that magnnimOus people Will their
Government drag the remnant Of our people into the
abyss in order be able To return thanks for the bless
ing of the reyersion Of Indian lands"
Very few Of our Governors said as much In
their proclamatiens as that.

Food AduIteratlons.

The following is from paper read
before the Maryland Academy Of Sci
ences: The use of beer has become
much less general because of the sus-
pected use of harmful bitters and grape
sugar. A large piece Of this so-called
grape sugar, taken from the hands Of q
youth In this city, who said his father
manufactured it, proved, upon. analysis,
to contain quantity Of sulphuric acid,
enough to destroy some half dozen sets
of good teeth As this sugar is largely
used In adulterating cane sugar, can
dies and numerous other articles Of
luxury and necessity, further comment
is unnecessary. Yeast powders are
made and sold here which contain solu-
BILE salts Of aluminium. The use of tin
in sugar, of baryta in numerous articles
of food to increase their weight are
barely concealed. The agreeable odor
Of caramel in the neighborhood Of the
coffee mills tells its own tale, and to

Ancient Mining in North Carolina.

In prospecting the wild woodlands Of
Western North Carolina, says letter
from Raleigh to q New York paper,
curious evidences have been found that
years ago persons lived there who were
miners. There are the prehistoric
claims, with their tunnels, shafts, open
cuts, and dumps, and everything to in
dicate high order Of mechanical in
genuity; but who the miners were or
where they came from is question
that science has not yet fully revealed.
The vast heaps of dirt brought out by
hand are now covered with forest trees
Of great age, and the growth dates back
hundreds Of years. In The old shafts
are the ancient tools, disintegrating and
wearing away slowly. Many are found
as if hurriedly thrown aside by the pre-
historic miner, who, warned by i'm
pending disaster, fed never to return,
leaving the few rude tools and imple
ments to perpetuate his memory. The
mines are mica, ard for the want OF
better authority, the work in them is
referred to as that of mound builders,
and the only proof of the possibility Of
this is seen in the curiously shaped
strips Of mica in the collection Of the
Museum Of Natural History in New
York. These, DR.. E. L. Davis said,
were taken from the mounds by himself
and the late Mr.. Squier, and were evi-
IDENTIFY part Of some Of their religious
formulas. BIT the mounds were in the
far West and Southwest. where mica is,
or was, not known, and it is his opinion
that they either travelled to the North
Carolina country for it, or purchased
it from the Indians of that locality.

How Shoe Pegs are Made.

It was the privilege Of the writer 10
visit the picturesque little town Of Ar
lington, vt, which at the time boasted
population Of $500, three churches,
FIVE stores, two hotels, an extensive car
works, sash and blind and chair factory,
also peg factory, which, BY the courtesy
Of the foreman, Mr.. L. E. White,
(who had been employed there twenty.
nine years. he was shown through, and
received valuable information. The
timber used is black and yellow birch,
which is cut into pieces four feet in
length, varying in diameter from eight
to fourteen inches. These logs are
placed in building in winter and the
frost extracted by steam. They are
then run in on a tram railway to the
circular saw department, and cut into
slices or blanks Of the thickness de-
sired for the length of the pegs. These
are sorted and the knots cut out, and
are then passed on to long bench
which contains six machines composed
Of futed rollers. The blanks are then
run between these rollers, which
creases on both sides. They are then
run through again to cross crease, or
mark out the exact sizes Of the pegs.
They then 60 to the splitting machines.
which are set with double knives, and
cut the blanks into pegs. As they pass
the last machine they are sorted, and
all knots and discolored ones removed
as they are brushed off into large bas.
kets. The machines are under the care
Of young women, who appeared much
more happy and useful than do many OF
those who, humping at the piano,
would consider such employment
menial. The next process is bleaching,
which is accomplished by the fumes Of
birthstone, which is unhealthy-tth those
who labor here shorten their lives.
They are then placed in large cylinders,
which hold eleven barrels, and have six
hundred steam pipes running through
them, and revolve one and one-half
times to the minute, drying two charges
per day to each cylinder. They are
then passed into large wooden casks,
or cylinders, which, revolving rapidly
polish them by the friction, the refuse
falling through wire sieves on screen
openings, after which they are again
passed into asifter, which separates all
the single pegs and drops them into
tubs or boxes, leaving those which have
not been separated in the machine.
They are then put in barrels ready for
market. The factory running on full
time turns out one hundred and fifty
bushels, or fifty barrels per day. The
sizes go from eight up to sixteen to an
inch. The lengths 60 by eights two
and one-half to twelve. Tventy-six
hands are employed, half OF them being
women. The products Of this mill are
mostly shipped to Germany and France,
and enter largely in to the manufacture
of toys and fancy goods as we'll as into
the shoe mandatory. Thus the ''genii
of mechanism" converts, as by magic,
the trees from the Vermont mountains
into articles of use, which floating off
through the channels of commerce to
far away countries, anon return to
sparkle the eyes Of happy children in
toys. in which these toys have become
important factors.

Inere is O wheel-hOrS in every
family; some one who takes the lead on
all occasions. 1t may be the Oldest
daughter, possibly the father, but
generally it is the mother. Extra COM
pany, sickness. etc, give her heavy
increase of the burden she is already
carrying.
Even summer vacations bring less
rest and recreation to her than to others
of the family. The city house must be
put in order. to leave; the clothing for
himself and the children which a coun-
try sojourn demands seems never to be
| finished; and the excursions and picnics
which delight the hearts of the young
people are not wholly a delight to the
''provider."
Woman's work is never done. She
would never have it done. Ministering
to father and mother, cherishing her
husband, nourishing and training her
children--no true woman wants to see
her work done. But because it is never
done she needs resting times.
Every night theheavy truck is turned
up; the wheel horse is put up in the
stable, and labor and care are dismissed
till the morrow. The thills of the
household van cannot be turned up at
night, and the tired house-mother can
not go INTO quiet stall for repose. She
goes to sleep tonight feeling the pres
sure of Tomorrow. She must have
"an eye " over all until every one is in
bed, and must keep an eye ready to
open at any moment to answer the need
OF children, and open both eyes bright
and early to see the machine wen
started for the new day.
There is never any time that seems
convenient for the mother Of little
children to leavs home, even for day;
but with little kindly help from her
husband. and little resolution to her
elf, she may go and be SO much better
for it that the benefit will overflow
from her into the whole household.
She will bring home some new fdea
and will work with enthusiasm that
comes from fresh start.

The bamboo OF. the East are asso-
ciated in our recollections Of the gecgra-
ply, but it is little surprising to
read that the plant serves at least five
hundred different purposes in China,
according to the American Consul Gen
eral at Shanghai. It frequently answers
for both iron and steel. The roots are
carved into images, lantern handles, and
canes the tapering cuIms are used for
every conceivable place where poles
and ribs can be put the leaves are
worked into thatches, umbrellas and
screens cut into splints, the wood is
woven into baskets, plated into avn

chop-sticks for eating, beds for Sleep
ing, brooms for sweeping, pipes for
smoking, fuel for cooking. skewers for
the hair, paper for writing, rods for
whipping, tables to eat on, buckets for
water-drawing, and the tender shoots
are highly esteemed as vegetable to be

used. At Foochow, and Swatow, the

A correspondent Of the Poultry Ydyd
suggests to owners Of egg-eating fowls
how to get rid cf The trouble. In the
fall replaceall the old hens with pullets ;
procure some china nest eggs, and
fetch in the new-laid eggs every night
in cold weather, and oftener, ifyou
wish to save them from freezing and
prevent the hens learning to eat them.
Give the hens, instead Of frozen or
other eggs, ,refsusemeat from the slaugh-
terlhouse or meat market boiled tender
with the bones pulverized. If these
directions are followed, the writer says
the hens will not learn to eat eggs.

The Pool Of Bethesda.

We visit the pool of Bethesda. 1t is
full Of benevolent, nay, angelic memo
ries, for did not the angel here 20
down at certain season and trouble
the water, go that those who we're dis
eased and waited along its five porches
for the moving Of the water should be
made whole? Did not the sick man
here receive from the Savior his cure,
for which be was reproached, it being
the Sabbath dayp Now, how changed |
There is no water in the pool, save
little green pond in the corner. AS we
enter it the air is dusty and full Of the
cries Of boys and men driving donkeys
within, loaded with the refuse OF the
city, and whose basket panniers are full
of dirt, to be emptied here, to make
room elsewhere for buildings. But to
our mind it is now, as ever, blessed
with the sweet waters Of healing. An
English engineer offered to the govern
ment to clean it out, connect it with its
olden sluices and fiji it with pure
water. The proposal was rejected.
The tender shows that these sacred
memories are not all dead, nor is the
land altogether left desolate. It is said
that one Of the chief agonies Of the
Savior was that ''an forsook Him and
fed" So they did, and it was the bitterest
drop in His cup of misery but now,
after two thousand years, His name is
in the household of hundreds of mil
lions Of the racei Out Of this desola-
tion, sacrifice and crucifxion, there is
ascension for these millions, as there
was for Himl Who can describe the
healing and consolation which have
emanated from these scenes of suffer-
ing and salvation2 Now, asthen, there
is the same deep meaning in the beauti-
full verse:
"Sad one, in secret bending low,
A dart in thy breast that the world may not
know.

Guitesa;uisnl.

In a discourse on ''The Plague of
Guiteauism," the Rev. DIR. Talmage de-
fined Guiteauism to be in the first place
able bodied beggary. He said:
There is q large class of persons in
all communities who live by begging
living. They often do it under the
name Of borrowing. The assassin now
on trial had plenty Of capacity, but re-
fused to do what he could do, and gave
himself to that for which he had no ca
pAcity. There are. as near as / can
tell, in this country about 100000 of
what are called ead-bests. Many Of
them have a smattering Of learning,
and think they are called to edit news
papers, or to write books, or to take
the lecture platform. One would think
that after ten or fifteen years failure
they would take the hint and go back
sand earn livelihood by just as honor
able and just as respectable toll Of
hand or foot. No; they will not do
that. They borrow. Guiteau bor-
rowed all he could, first in Freeport,
then in Chicago, then in New York,
Boston and Washington. He borrowed
the pistol to commit the crime. He
borrowed the clothes he wore. He is
borrowing the time of his counsel and
the resources OF the government to. de-
fend him. You and I, if we are tax
payers, must pay the bill Ny friends,
it seems to me that it is high time that
we men and women who work should
cease paying taxes to support the lazy
scoundrels Of America. With the sick,
the decrepit, the helpless and home-
less, let us share, but for the wander
ing vagabonds who have been put like
leeches on the arm Of honest industry
until they have sucked out the blood /;
who crawl into the prisons, and crawl
into the court-rooms and crawl into
the church, and crawl into lecture
rooms-they are fit for nothing but ex-
tirpation.
