THE q" THANKFUL DAY"

Thanksgiving Day has put aside the curtains of
the darksome night,
And all the world awakes to build the soft, glad
dawn of morning light.
My little one upon my knee
Thus seriously questions me:
Mamma, is it the Thankful Day because the
shine has come again?
Because God sent the dark, black night to hide
away the naughty rain,
Which teased me all of yesterday,
So could not so out to play?"
l tell the pretty questioner, the while my fond
arms clasp her tight,
Of all our hearts are grateful for, for comforts
and Gods blessings bright
For food to eat, and clothes to wear,
And Gods protection everywhere.
Outside the window, presently, a little barefoot
beggar stands,
Her heart of every childish hope as starved
and empty as her hands.
No s1nailo Jlpo1, tho vveo, sad face,
Where many grief has left its trace.
Oh quicker than the quickest thought springs
to her feet my dainty pet.
8 See See, mamma This little girl amt got
her Thankful Day quite yet.
1 got some comforts 1 can spare
To that poor little girl out therer'
We call the little stranger in, my loving-hearted
child and l,
And dimples gather with the SMILES as sunshine
clears the cloudy sky,
So gayly does my little May
With her new guest share Thankful Day."
L there are tears within my eyes, it is because
my heart is glad
With the young heart no longer grieyed, with
the young eyes no longer sad;
And for the ceasing of ''the rain,''
When hope and joy shine forth again.

To Make Postage Cheaper.
THE POSTMASTER GENERAL OUTLINES
PROJECT BE WILL DISCUSS IN HIS RE-
PORT

Postmaster-G General Howe was asked
whether it is his intention to recon-
mend reduction OF the rate on letter
postage, he answered: "While have not
finally decided not to recommend a re-
duction, must say that do not believe
the public generally feel the three-cent
rate to be burden. Among the many
facts which have perhaps influenced my
opinion [ may instance the condition of
affairs on the Pacific slope, where a pri-
vate express company CWells, Fargo &
Co.. are carrying good part of the mail
under fve-cent rate. They profess" he
said, ''to buy our stamped envelopes to
meet the requirements of law that full
postage shall be paid, and add their own
private stamp. The people of that sec
ton give as their Reason for patronizing
a private concern instead of the govern
ment machinery, that they thus secure
greater speed and security, but this l am
not prepared to admit. The real reason
is probably force of habit, inasmuch as
the express company had perfected their
mail system years before the govern
ment service was begun upon that
coast
81 am at present pondering over
scheme, " continued Judge Howe, " that
l shall probably recommend in my report
unless serious objections should here
after occur, by which think the public
would be greatly benefited, with small
loss to the Government. Simply stated,
it is to encourage the use OF stamped
envelopes, instead of adhesive stamps.
The saving would occur in the following
manner: The great bulk OF letters that
come to the Dead Letter Office IS made
up of letters which are either not stamped
at all or upon which full rate has not
been paid. OF course it would not be
possible to have such a class Ii only
stamped envelopes were used, ana the
expense of returning such matter to the
Dead Letter Office, and its subsequent
handling, is an item of magnitude. Inc
plan is to sell the stamped envelopes at
the present price of adhesive stamps,
which would practically amount to a
reduction of one cent to the class Oh
people who most need it. Figures that
/ have by me show that the cost OF manu-
facture would decrease the revenues OF
the department by about $z,ooo'uOo,
whereas the reduction of the rate TO Two
cents would mean decrease OF Sl5, ,0O0,-
600. / am not certain either tllat Vle

The Miseries of a Mean Man.

Sometimes 1 wonder what mean man
Burdette, in the HaaOkeye. When he
turns out the light and lies down. When
the darkness closes in about him and he
is alone and compelled to be honest with
himself. And not bright thought, not
a generous impulse, not a manly act, not
a word of blessing, not a grateful look,
comes to bless him again. Not penny
dropped into the outstretched palm of
poverty, nor the balm of q loving word
dropped into an aching heart no sun
beam of encouragement cast upon
struggling life; the strong right hand of
fellowship reached out to help some fallen
man to his feet-when none of these
things come to him as the "God bless
you" of the departed day, how he must
hate himself. How he must try to roll
away from himself and sleep on the other
side of the bed. When the only victory
he can think of is some mean victory, in
which he has wronged a neighbor. No
wonder he always sneers when he tries
to smile. How pure and fair and good
all the rest of the world must look to
him, and how cheerless and dusty and
dreary must his own path appear. Why,
even one lone, isolated act of meanness is
enough to scatter cracker crumbs in the
bed of the average, ordinary man, and
what must be the feelings of man whose
whole life is given up to mean acts ?
When there is so much suffering and
heartache and misery in the world, any
how, why should You add one pound of

November Notes ON Farm Stock.

HORSES, with their winter coats, sweat
easily. When brought in warm, they
should be rubbed dry and blanketed for
an hour. Work horses should not be
blanketed in the stable, but carriage
horses or those used only upon the road,
may be kept warmly blanketed, for
though by this they become more sensi-
tive to cold, and must have more care,
yet their coat does not grow so close and
long, and they are much less likely tc
sweat when driven. Ground or crushed
oats go farther, are better digested, ant
mix better with other feed than whole
ones They are the best winter feed fo
horses, but may be mixed with corn OF
barley meal or wheat-bran and middlings
for work horses to advantage. Whole
grain is not fed without waste.
BEEvEs.-In feeding for beef, the no
tions of each animal should be consulted
his preferences, likes and disIikes. The
object of feeding usually is to get the
animal to eat all that he will digest we'll
Hence a variety should always be at
hand, and the ration should be varied by
feeding cooked, soaked, or dry meal, as
the case may be, with hay and roots.
Take great care not to over-feed, and in
case of over-feeding let starvation be the
cure. Thus the animal will soon take to
feeding again, but will be less likely to
fall off much in flesh than if ''physicked. ;"
Nature is the best physician.
Cows in milk need roots, pumpkins, or
similar food, to make up for the lack of
grass. Where silos are used, moderate
quantity of ensilage, if of good quality, is
the best substitute for grass we have in
cold weather.
SHEEP should have airy, well-ittered
sheds, with plenty of sunshine, and pro-
tected from snow. One great advantage
of keeping sheep is to convert straw into
Hence much litter is usually
strewn in sheep sheds, to the distress of
the sheep, unless they have hard places
to lie upon, because their feet and legs
get so hot. A few platforms, like old
doors, which can be shifted about every
few days by turning over, will be greatly
and will promote both health
and comfort.
SwINE.-Push fattening hogs forward
as rapidly as possible. Keep them warm
and cleanly. Charcoal broken fine and
mixed with the cooked feed, is an excel
lent regulator and tonic, aiding digestion,
and promoting fattening to such an ex-
tent that it is hard to believe it does not
serve as food.-An9ericdn Agricaltm'iSt.

POPULATION OF NEW ENGLAND.

DR.. Allen, a New England physician,
has an article in Popular Science
Monthly on the decrease of population
in that section. He says he has made
careful study of the subject, and he at
tributes the cause of this decrease to
"some change in physical organization.
In the last century, he says, the colo
nists of New England, made up mostly
of English stock, multiplied rapidly.
Their natural increase was so great that
they doubled in numbers in twenty-five
years. Nautilus regarded them as the
best specimens in this respect Of any
people or race, and based upon facts
from this source his great principle of
population.
But within the last hundred years
remarkable change has taken place.
Carefully kept records show that the
average number of children to each family
has decreased with every generation.
''They commenced with large families,
averaging eight or nine, but it is now
doubtful whether the average will exceed
three children to family, scarcely
enough to keep the original stock good
in numbers"
And ''this change has occurred in the
same places, with the same people, hav-
ing the same climate and plenty of food. y
The main cause, says DR.. Allen, is that
''the men are not so strong and vigorous
as their grandfathers and ancestors, and
the women have deteriorated physically
in surprising degree. A majority of
them have predominance of nerve It's
sue, with weak muscles and digestive
organs.
The most marked change in this one
hundred years, in organization, is this
loss of balance or harmony in the organs;
and especially in women it is far more
striking. They have been diverging more
and more from that normal standard upon
which the law of propagation is based. "
Only about one-half of the New England
women can properly nurse their offspring,
and this incapacity for nursing is con-
stantly increasing. This DR.. Allen re-
CARDS as very significant of some change
in organization to which the natural de-
crease is due.

The New Slave Trade.

A writer in The Figaro recently made
the startling statement that number Of
French citizens are growing rich in the
slave trade!
These persons build swift sailing ves-
sells, and are said to earn enough, after a
few voyages, to pay the cost of the ship.
The latter is generally supposed to be in
the ivory or ebony trade-and, symbol
cally speaking, the phrase sounds truth
full enough. In order, however, to avoid
the rigors of the law, legal for1hality is
never omitted. The blacks, who are gen.
orally prisoners of war, whom their own
countrymen find it more profitable to sell
than to kill, are forced on board the
trader and threatened with death by thei1
| captors if they return on shore. Th'
captain, then IN the presence of witnesses
| gives these unfortunates the choice tc
make contract with him, or return on
shore. 1t is needless to say that they
prefer the former alternative. Thereupon
certain papers are drawn up embodying
a contract on the part of the negroes to
y
for nourishment and shelter.
The vessel sails thereupon to some
Mohamedan region, or some tropical
colony of Europeans, where the blacks
are ''hired OUT as laborers. The cap
tain receives a compensation for his
''pains'-it is large price
Five hundred negroes at five hundred
dollars per head, for example, is cargo
which pays admirably. Of course the
victims are nominally hired; but they re-
ceive no compensation, nor is it possible
for them at the end of ten years to i'm
prove their situation.
The Figaro writer declares that he
knows of persons who have made quite
enough money at the business to retire
upon their income. fragrant as the vio-
lation of law is, the traffic is so cunningly
managed, that detection is almost i'm
possible and prosecution fOiled
