on the whole day. There were in the whole
307 persons, who took more than 5000 single

one turkey is as good as that of hec.
atomb of beeves, and to the taste OF
to-day a dish of flowers on the table OF
rose at every plate is worth all the
uncut and untasted vianGs that are
only an ostentation of generous hos
/ pitality, and that, since they are to be
eaten cold or warmed over on another
day, are like the ghosts of picked-uI
dinners intruding on the banquet. a
rich and bountiful dinner does not de
pend on its appearance of prodigality
| and waste so much as on its pleasant
sufficiency, its good order andits nicely
of preparation. One can, indeed, if sc
sorely bested as that, dine on crust
with thankful heart that one is moi
starving, with no crust to hinder: it is
only Thanksgiving dinner, if the
chief thing is unforgotten, and that is
the thankful heart; and such banquet
as Michael Scott prepared in the
kitchen of the King of France would
not be Thanksgiving dinner if eater
without that thankful heart That one
may have an all-sufficient Thanksgiv-
ing dinner it is not needful to work
like slave in the kitchen and pantry
for a week beforehand because ones
mother and grandmother or because
ones husbands mother and grand
mother did. Let the dinner be the
tasteful and toothsome dinner of to-
day and this generation, not of yester-
day and the generations that thought
quite as much of the table as was good
for them.
| But, let the dinner be profuse OF
| spare, it is not the sole feature of the
| day; it becomes one to add other pleas
ures to the occasion-the pleasures OF
| welcome, of consideration, of amuse-
ment; to seek out new entertainment,
new method of enjoyment and OF
| passing the time, as much as new
dish or condiment; to make the whole
season thing to look forward to with
anticipation, and recollect with enjoy
ment.
That Thanksgivingday has not been
ordinarily looked upon as particularly
a woman's festival does not hinder the
| fact that it is so; for reflection will
| show how much the largest part women
have in it-an equal part with the rest
OF people in its enjoyment. prepon-
derating part in its preparation, and
| recognition in that inherent quality of
the day which makes respect for it
part of the things. revolving around the
orbit of home and the observance Of
the domestic sanctities where woman
is pre-eminent. Into Christmas, into
New Years, into the Fourth of July,
into harvest-homes, and the birthdays
of heroes, into all the other holidays
that we recall, a different element en-
ters-a religious, or a patriotic or a
poetical one Thanksgiving-day is the
only holiday of them all where,
throughout the length and breadth Of
the best portion of a continent, the
most conspicuous part of the celebra-
ton belongs to home and to women.-

THE SKUNK.
A Useful Animal Whose Importance Il
Not Properly Appreciated.

Not Properly Appreciated.
Among all the animals that roam
over our land, there are few, If any.
that are more universally despised than
the skunk, and yet he possesses some
qualities that are of great value to the
farmer, which he rarely gets credit for.
We remember when a boy that this
animal was very badly abused for push
ing his nose in every hill Of corn or
potatoes. 1t was then the custom to
put the larger portion of the manure
in the hill by SO doing the worms
were very sure to congregate under the
growing crops the skunks understood
this much better than the farmers did.
so they pushed their noses under the
growing crops that they might secure
the worms, which. if they had been left
to eat the roots Of the crops, would
have done much more injury to the crop
than that done by the skunks in dig
ging them out; but few of the farmers
of that day gave the skunks any credit
for eating the worms but would insist
that they dug into the hills to eat the
roots of the crop.
Since the practice of manuring in
the hill has been very generally aban-
doned, the skunk has not been abused
quite as much, but even now his life IS
not safe on many farms; heis known to
be very fond of young chicks, so that
ne must be deprived OF his life, fearing
that at some future period he may find
the chicken coop open, and eat up some
of the chicks.
The very unpleasant odor WHICH the
skunk sometimes emits is set down as
J very black mark against him; but
unless disturbed he emits no odor. more
than the domestic cat or dog.
Throwing all prejudice aside the
skunk is really very useful animal on
the farm; certainly. he does very much
more good than injury. He lives on
bugs and worms that are very destruc-
tive to. our crops; the large white worm,
tie larva of the May beetle, is his es-
pecial favorite; we ehave seen the ground
where these worms have been numer-
Gus enough to kill the grass, all rooted
over by skunks, and the worms entirely
destroyed. The cut-worm is another
fayorite of the skunk, large numbers Of
which there is but little doubt he de-
stroys. If the farmer coEld see the
amount Of worms which O skunk de-
stroys in single season, his feelings of
contempt toward him would cease, and
he would begin to respect as well as
protect him; he would conclude that he
had better protect his chicks by shut
ting them up every night than to kill
an animal that was capable of doing so
much good service. No doubt the in
crease Of the worms and bugs is par
italy due to the wholesale destruction
Of the skunks. Better have hundred
skunks on the farm than one wood
chuck, yet the woodchuck is not de-
spised half as much as~- the skunk.

HISTORY OF A PIN.

A Subject on Which the Small Boy Could
Give His Father Points Every Time.
The parlor lamp she'd its peaceful
rays on a happy group of five persons.
There was the head of the family and
the one who called himseH-the head of
the family, their two daughters, aged
respectively eighteen and eight, and
boy of eleven years. The father care
fully removed a bent pin from the seat
of the rocking chair. and stood holding
it between his thumb and forefnger
my son. he said pompously, .'did
you ever, when you saw discarded,
bent, little pin, pause and reflect how
long it took to make it, and how many
different hands contributed toward
fashioning it as it was? 1t is an in
structive and beneficial subject of con-
temptation. In the first place, there
were the miners who dug the metal it
is composed of; the men who trans
ported it to the factories; the workmen
who made the pins; the workmen who
sharpened them; the men who packed
them; the dealers who sold them to
tradesmen; the men that carried them
to the stores, and the statesmen who re-
tailed them over the counters-iu Just
think what an army of laborerS
handled that crooked little pinr'
Yes said his son and heir reflect
lively, "but you left out a lot, pa.,,'
'How so?n asked the old gentleman,
in a tone of surprise.
'Why, there was the old lady who
bought paper of 'em; there was her
biggest daughter who took one to pin
up. the rip in the waist of her dress; the
young man that told 'em at the office
that it was cat that made that rail
road-map scratch on the back of his
hand; the girls little brother who bor-
rowed the pin to make into fsh-hook:
the little sister whose straw hat he took
to keep his angleworms in, and his old
father who set down on the bent pin
when his little boy got tired of fishing.
They all had hand in it,. toor'
No said the gentleman, as he
threw the pin in the fire and took up
his newspaper. You are drawing on
your Imagination, my SON. never
found pin that went through such
series of experiences in my life"

remarked his son and heir
No, no. Run out and play" re-
piled his father. Il am going to sit on

ticed that his eldest daughter was
mending tear in her dress, while the
little one was wiping the stains from a
straw hat, so he pushed his armchair
aside with a suspicious glance at a
cleaning point on its seat, and sank
wearily on to the sofa. However, ere
he had fairly touched its surface he
bounded toward the zenith with a yell
of anguish. N@

A THANKSGIVING TRAGEDY.

James sat down to eat his dinner
On bright Thanksgiving day,
And he murmured Il will tackle
Everything that comes my way
"James," his mother gently warned him
James, you mustn't eat too much;
You will find it dangerous business,
Eating turkey, quail and SUCH"
James paid no attention to her,
Save to give passing frOwn,
But continued doing business
Putting all the viands down;
Ven'son partridge, duck and rabbit,
Lobster, goose and chicken-pie,
Salads, sauces, entrees vanished
In the twinkling of an eye.
"Come, my son." exclaimed his father,
''You have eaten quite enough,
Or you'll catch dreadful collie,
Filling up on such rich stuff"
All in vain-hts heir apparent
Would not listen unto him,
But continued masticating-
Naughty, foolish, silly Jim!
Bigger, bigger grew his stomach,
Filled with pies and cakes and meat
Rounder, fuller, tighter, plumper-
Still he did not cease to eat.
When at last appeared the pudding,
James indulged smothered groan;
Darling, are you sick?" his mother (;
Queried, in an anxious tone.
Then the foolish little fellow
Placed one hand upon his head
And the other on his stomach
"Gosh!" he feebly, family said.
Papa FASTENED for the doctor,
Mamma shrieked and tore her hair;
But before assistance reached him
James had climbed the golden stair.
For there came a loud explosion,
Rending foolish James asunder-
Filled too full of toothsome viands,
He had burSted all to thunder;
And for several weeks they labored
Ere enough of James was found
To adOrn a modest corner
4 In the family burying- ground.

An American exchange states that
experiments have recently been made
along Milwaukee railway with the
object of determining whether or not
the barbed wire of the fence on either
side of the road could be utilised for
telegraphic purposes. The fence
wire was placed in proper condition
for sufficient distance to make a
satisfactory test, the wire being run
under the surface at road crossings.
The plan was found, however, to be
impracticalble, at least during the
winter months, when huge snow
banks completely cover the fence,
and the line wonld be made useless.
There are thousands of miles of wire
fence along the Western lines, and
it has been commended it should be
utilised for this purpose.-Federa1

0UlRK's SENTENCE.

Thomas +. Quirk, the ex-wharf-
niger of the Pacific street wharf,
who pleaded guilty to embezzling
$93.75 of the States funds, was
sentenced on Tuesday by Judge
Toohy to three years imprisonment
in the San Quentin Prison. In pas
sing sentence Judge Toohy referred
to the fact that Quirk had pleaded
guilty to the embezzlement and thus
saved the State the trouble and ex-
pense of probably long and tedious
trial. This fact would not be for
gotten by the Court in passing SEN
tence. He thought that every man
who acknowledged his errors showed
that his good character is not en-
tirely extinguished and that at some
future time he would regain his
standing and position in the comlnu-
nifty. He said he was sorry to have
to send Quirk to the prison, but the
law gave him no latitude other than
exercising discretion in the passing
of sentence. Judgment was then
pronounced. Quirk received the adj
dress and sentence with consider
able show of feelings. r. Giro
