SCRAP BOOKS.
Something of Value to All, Especially

Something of Value to All, Especially
Farmers and Housewives.
There is no better habit one can get
into than that of keeping a scrap-book,
and it is also a good plan to head it for
items, so that they will be classified and
readily found without turning over so
many pages. Forinstance, head page
Recipes" and under this heading paste
all such recipes as you may have cut,
and so on. A scrap-book in a few years,
if properly kept, becomes valuable, and
it is very compact form to condense a
vast fund of useful information and costs
nothing but a little time. You can
scarcely pick up paper but what you
will discover something you would like
to remember, and the best way to do
this is to cut it out and at your conven-
fence paste it in the scrap-boOk. Keep
ing files of papers is a great bother, and
even if you had the files it would be a
tedious job to find recipe or a certain
article on cattle, hogs or poultry when
desired, but if these articles are in your
scrap-book they can be readily found.
The rule of the farmhouse might be this
When any one reading the paper sees
anything they would like to save, let
them put their private mark upon the
article with a red, green or blue pencil;
then let it be the duty of some younger
member of the family, when paper has
acquired certain age, to cut these all
out and paste them in their respective
scrap-books, for each department Of the
family, the females as well as the males
having their subjects of interest. BY all
means do not let the useful matter your
paper contains from time to time be lost
for the want of little care in this direc-
ton. San Francisco Chronicle.

CASSY'S THANKSGIVING.
Her Prayer for Patience, and How
1t Was Answered.

She was an orphan, brought up in the
family of her uncle, Mr.. Gideon Blake,
of South Peachum. 1t seemed hard
that she, the prettiest of all the children
of the household, should be subjected to
life of constant toll and MOL in the
kitchen and nursery of the Blakes. But
then, according to the oft-repeated as
sertion of the heads of the house. 'she
ought to thank her lucky stars, that she
was adopted into a respectable family
in her childhood instead of having been
sent to an asylum, as many helpless
orphan was obliged to be-"
But to-day matters of a trying nature
had reached painful climax, and
Cassy's pretty face was dishgured with
crying, and her heart was in turbulent
state of anger and disappointment.
She was no longer a child, but of
years emitting her to the name and DO
sition of a young lady, but her claim to
such rights were totally disregarded by
the entire Blake family.
There was a perpetual baby in the
nursery, and after the other duties of
the day had been performed it was in
variably Classy who must remain home
from the concert, fair, or social party
to ''mind the baby"
1t was Thanksgiving time, and even
in families crowded by the ordinary
routine OF household duties, there was
a strong suggestion of more than usual
preparation going on. The ''lOng pan
try" of the Blake's showed a goodly
array of pies of different kinds, pud-
dings and cake; and neither pie, pud-
ding or cake in all the array but Cas-
Sys busy, faithful hands had helped in
In the mixing, or superintendent the
baking thereof
Aunt Abby Thayer, maiden lady of
rather advanced age, was in the habit
of spending all the holidays at the house
Of her nephew, Mr.. Gideon Blake, who
lived in township about five miles dis
tant from her own. Her visits were
somewhat dreaded by the young ladies,
Kate and Louise, as she was critical
and observing, and occasionally severe
on ''the habits of young folks now-a-
days" But Aunt Abby was supposed
to be worth a comfortable little income.
Of which she was very careful, and Mr..
Blake being her only living relative,
to whom else would this boarded treas
ure, with its accumulating interest, be
likely to fall due, at the decease of the
old lady, but her nephew? SO it became
The highest policy and good judgment
always to accord Aunt Abby a proper
degree of respect. Yet she owed Mr..
Blake nothing for her repeated visits,
for it was one of her eccentricities al
ways to pay certain amount of ''board
money" upon leaving the house.
But to return to Cassy's tears and dis
content Thanksgiving was but three
days distant, and that morning there
had come an invitation for all the Blake
family except the baby, ''also Miss
Mayne," to attend grand ''candy
Bcrape" on Thanksgiving evening, at
the beautiful house of Squire Whitcomb
Oh Greenwood Hill.
"But it won't be convenient for YOU
to go, Classy DEAR" remarked Mrs.
Blake, las Of course father will want
me to be present. and there is the baby,
Eou know"

OLD THANKSGIVING CUSTOMS,
The Puritan's Observance of the Day Which

membered.


membered.
The Puritans were not a pleasure
loving people. If they had been, they
would not have grubbed living from
the rocky soil which gave its stores only
on cor"nulsion. They took kindly to
but one festal day, and that they made
the jubilee of farmers, who feared God
and worked two hundred and twelve
days in the year.
On Thanksgiving they combined the
duty of thanking God with the mirth of
sedate men, and with the joy of charity.
1t was to them day of solemn mirth. "
Men who rejoiced under the shadow of
eternity saw no inconsistency between
the two terms. So on that day they
praised the bountiful Giver, ate and
drank, and sent portions unto them that
had none.
For years custom made it imperative
that on the day preceding Thanksgiving
gifts should be sent to the pastor and to
the poor The good old MANN those
days minister and people were united
until death parted them-dressed in his
best suit of homemade black, sat in his
parlor ready to receive the favors which
his people never forgot.
Hams, turkeys, chickens, cheeses, lars
of butter, boxes of honey and bushels Of
apples crowded his harder. Loads Of
firewood were piled into the shed, Old
Dobbin, the gentle gray, who knew
every child and every hitching-post in
the parish, pricked up his ears as the
corn and the hay were tumbled into the
barn.
There were pleasant thoughts in the
good pastor's heart, which throbbed
almost as lovingly for his flock as for
his God, when ne knelt ut eventide to
give thanks for the many gifts.
The poor were also so remembered
that the holiday came with a bountiful
hand to the widow and the orphan. No
stinted mOrsel was doled out on that
day. even to the thriftleSS bcggar.
In some sections of New England it
was the practice of the poor to knock at
the door of the well-to-do, on the even
ing before, and beg something for
Thanksgiving"
Yankee boys were as full of fun then
as they are now. Children of comforta-
BILE neighbors, by way of a Joke, would
dress themselves in cast-olf clothing,
and pay a begging visit to the houses OF
those they knew.
Sometimes the little mimics, deceived
by the apparent credulity of their elders,
would enter, and keep up the show and
the fun. But usually, their courage
failed when the door was opened. Then
they would skurry away, shouting and
laughing, almost before their mock re-
quests had received any answer

Crank, Frank where are youp"
Mrs. Whitcomb had called all over
the house, but no Frank was to be
found. She was beginning to feel anx-
ious at his strange disappearance, and
the supper had been delayed fully half
an hour when Frank quietly reappeared,
and to his mothers eager questioning,
he replied, his eyes fairly twinkling with
merriment:

Remarkable Hand at Whist.

Some time ago the whist circles and
the clubs where cards are played for
amusement were startled at the result
of one particular hand at whist PLAYED
and held by four prominent citizens,
members of the Cuvier Club. The
hands were of such unique nature that
considerable doubt was expressed as to
the fairness and squarcnesS of the deal
In order to diSpcl such doubts the par
Elephants have made the following sworn
statement of facts before Judge J. lIar-

THE HOUMAs SUITS.

Application for O rehearing has been
made by counsel for plaintiffs in the Hou-
mas land suits Of Alfred Slidell ct uls, Us.
George Fl. Grandjean ct ais, based on these
two propositions: 1. That the Galvez grant
OF a second depth is q perfect title to the
extent of 30 arpents from the Mississippi
river, if not to the extent of one and a-half
leagues. 2. That the grant by Galvez of
the second depth is a perfect title to the
extent of one and a-half leagues from the
Mississippi river.
The decision of the Supreme Court re-
Gently rendered recognizes the validity of
the Houmas grant to the extent of ninety
six arpents front on the river by depth
of forty-tWo arpents, the grant of the sec
ond depth being limited to two arpents,
whereas the plaintiffs contend that it
should extend to the distance of one and a.
half leagues from the river.
We have received a copy of the petition
for rehearing filed on the 18th of March
by Messrs. Willis Drummond and r. Fl.
Bradford, counsel for plaintiffs, and also a
copy of a report and opinion of the Com
missioner of the General Land Office in the
matter of the claim of the late John Brun-
side to portion of the Houmas grant.
These documents will materially assist US
in arriving at a full understanding of the
present position of the famous controversy
which seems likely to be brought to an
early and equitable conclusion.
