THANKSGIVING ON THE FARM

"Oh, 10 surely seems years since the dear
children's voices
Rang out on the farmy'-so the old people
say.
'Never mind; they are coming, the lads and
the lassies,
And cen the wee babies, with 7 Thanksgv-
ing Day.
So the turkey is fattened, the chickens grow
plumper,
The apples are gathered the larder is filled;
The little white 'porker" dimes daily on
daintes,
killed.
Oh, the hurry, the scurry, in Grandmamma's
kitchen,
Tho well-laden table where good things are
piled,
The chairs that are waiting for hungry new
comers,
And cen the "high chairn for the youngest
wee child!
And back to the farm how the steam cars
are rushing,
While Grandpa and Dobbin impatiently
wait
At the old depot platform, and Grandma
keeps ever
Her spectacles turned toward the wide
front-yard gate.
Dear soull she remembers ''the boys" liked
to swing there
land hopes Grandpa mended the last hinge
they broke),
And she actually grieves that the streamlet
is frozen
'They had such fun there putting pussy to
soak!n
And though she knows well that the raid on
her larder
Will keep her hands busy from morning till
night,
Yet Grandma thinks only, "I'm glad they
are coming,
The dear, happy darlings, with faces SO
brightl'
Hark! here comes the wagon. Now Grandma
goes rushing,
And Grandpa lifts down the wee babies
with care,
And out jump the mother, the father, the
children,
All ready the Thanksgiving dinner to
share.
Oh, the hugs and the kisses, the chatter and
laughter,
The merry bright eyes, and the small,
eager feet!
Hurrah for Thanksgiving The old farm is
ringing
Once more with the voices of children so
sweet.

others with dash of nutmeg, and few

favorites of Uncle George, the sea cap

until his taste for civilized food is ruined.
Then there are thick mince pies, redolent
of citron, brandy aud spices, but the
people who eat them on Thanksgiving
Day will not have the best of it. The
children, who hover near the wooden
bowl while mother rolls the crust, and
are allowed one large spoonful in sau-
Ger, have foretaste of the bliss to be
realized on Thursday, when the table is
at last spread, the huge turkey in the
place of honor. We ike to smell the
savory odor that exhales from the appe.

helplessly together, his wings bound to
his side. There is the whitest of linen

company with raisins and figs at dessert,
after the great plum pudding, richly
brown with plums, currants, citron and
spice, and smothered in its own sauce,
has been appreciated at its full worth.
And then after dinner, when our mate
rial needs are more than satisfied, how
pleasant to draw about the fire, and
laugh and tell stories until dusk brings
the pleasant day to a close, and sends
the little ones, after still another bout al

A Reformed CnnnibaI.

During the recent conference of
colored Methodists in Washington Pro-
fessor Soloder was the observed of all
observers. He was introduced as eds

ball."
There was ripple of apprehension
after this announcement, and all eyes
were turned upon the professor The
spectators saw nothing to alarm hem.
They saw thin little man, copper
colored, with an eager eye and hungry
look. He wore little black skull cap,
a long black clerical coat, long scarlet
stockings and canvas shoes. On further
acquaintance the stranger made himself
very interesting. He frankly admitted
that in the Fiji Islands. where he was
born, he had eaten human flesh many a
time. In his early days he h0d lived
principally on roast missionary, but for
the past twenty-five years he had been .
missionary himself.
This was his simple story. He ex-
pressed no remorse and wasted no words
in vain regrets. "IIow did the mission
ary flesh taste9n asked the bishop.
"Pretty much like mule, was the reply,

Merits of the MusseI.

The report of the English vice. consul
on the mussel culture of La Rochelle,
serves to show what an amount of whole
some food is wasted owing to our ignor-
ance or our predjudices. All around our
shores the mussel is found in abundance.
Thousands of tons are every year used
for bait or for manure; but except
among the humber classes in the manu-
featuring towns, this excellent shellfisb
Is almost unknown as an article of diet.
Yet, in the opinion of many good judges,
it is not much inferior TO the oyster, and
is infinitely preferable to the cookie, the
vineyard snail, or even to the famous
clam, which fills so large a place in the
gastronomic history of every good Amer
lean. When eaten at all, it is usually
eaten au naturel. In this state it is not
to be despised, though, unlike oysters,
this neglected mollusc bears manipula-
tion at the hands of the cook without
any deteriorations. Mussels a la pou-
lette is dish worthy of note. Mussels
and rice are not to be Stunned, while
mussels boiled, mussel catsup, musseIs
picked, mussels scalloped, mussel soup,
mussel sauce, and stewed mussels occupy
an honored position in the receipt book
of every Continental chef. Grimrod de
la Reyniere called them the "oyster Of
the poor. ."--LOndon telegraph.

Terror of Haunted LOcomO ives.

Locomotive engineers are almost, if
not altogether. rs superstitious In regard
to haunted locomotives as sailors are in
regard to haunted ships. About ten
years ago the engine Matt Morgan blew
Shore Line road near the station at
Providence, K. l., killing the engineer.
The engine was subseq rebuilt and
put on the road On the first trip that
she made after being rebuilt she went
tearing into Providence in the night
with the swinging behind and the sleep
ing town echoing to the shrill whistle.
On approaching the station the engineer
leaned forward to shut off the steam,
but to his horror a ghostly form ap-
peared at his side and ghostly hand
grasped his wrist and held him fast.
When the station was reached the ghost
disappeared and the engineer stopped
the train some distance beyond. At
least, this is what the engineer tells.
Many people have not forgotten the
terrible Richmond switch disaster sew
eral years ago on the Providence and
Stonington road. A little brook became
swollen by the rain and carried away
railroad bridge. The train came rushing
along that night and was hurled into the
chasm. Giles, the engineer, when he
saw the danger ahead, instead of leaping
from the engine as his fireman did,
grasped the lever and reversed the en-
gine. But it was too late. The train
was going at such speed that the loco
motive leaped clear across the stream,
and they found Giles lying under his
overturned engine with the lever driven
through his body and one hand clutching
the throttle valve with the grasp of death,
Giles, when he came into Providence,
was accustomed to give two peculiar
whistles as signal to his wife, who
lived near the railroad where it enters
the suburbs of the city, that he was all
right and would soon be home. The alb
sence of those whistles was the first init
nation which was received at Providence
of the disaster. When the engine which
made the terrible leap on that stormy
night was rebuilt and put on the road
again, there was at first great trouble in
getting engineers for it, with such SUI
perstitious horror was it regarded. To
day there are people ready te swear that
they have heard whistles, such as Giles
used to blow as signals to his wife, sound
through the suburbs of Providence, when
no train was coming up the road.-New
York Tribune.

One day last winter, 1881, when the
mercury was down somewhere in the for
ties below, an open sleigh.stage was
making its way along mountain road
between two Montana towns. The only
passengers were q woman and her young
child They were scantily clad Cor the
rigorous weather, and the woman re-
moved one of her wraps to protect the
child. The driver discerned that she
was growing drowsy, and warned her of
the deadly peril OF falling asleep. 1t
was of no use, nor did the vigorous shak-
ing he gave her serve to keep ner awake.
Finally the driver seized her, threw her
out into the road, and drove off with the
child at rapid pace. This last expedient
was successful Awakened by the shock
of the fall, the woman saw the stage
Disappearing with her child. Her ma
ternal instincts were aroused. She ran
after the stage as fast she could the
driver slackened up little, but did not
stop till he saw that the poor mother was
thoroughly warmed by the exercise.
Her life was saved. An hour later the
stage reached station, where buffalo
robes were obtained to protect her
against the deadly cold for the remainder
of the journey. - Youths CompaaioR.

the cheers of the crowd, among whom
compassion or pity seemed entirely lack
ing. In fact, TIE struggles of the ami
NAL, its roars and bellows, seemed to in
cite the cowboys to further acts Of
brutality.
This diversion over third steer was
released--a long horned, gaunt, wild
eyed beast, and not a few il the crowd
but wished it would turn the tables on
its enemies. AS it dashed into the arena
a small broncho sprang in pursuit, and
in half a minute the whirling rope
was about its horns. The little horse
headed it off, braced back, aud then
steer. horse and rider went roll
ing over the plain in common ruin.
The pace had proved too much for the
broncho, and when the jerk came he WAS
fairly pulled from his feet. He scram-
bled up, however, the cowboy still
mounted, and in marvelously short
time the victim was tied, the whole field
rushing to the spot in frenzy of emo
tions. Men jumped their horses over
fences, tossed their hats in the air, and
gave vent to demoniac yells, and the
victor was escorted back by the entire
crowd, all of whom wed with each
other in their attempts at congratula
ton
Five or six more steers were released,
with varying results, but the time-1:j5
was not beaten Some of the bronchos
refused to follow the steers, and gave an
unexpected exhibition of bucking that
was quite as acceptable to at least por
tion of the audience as the roping.
This exhibition was followed by
similar entertainment, in which bronchos
were substituted for steers, the condi-
tions being that the cowboy should sad
die his broncho and lasso and tie a pre-
sumably wild broncho in certain time.
Five bronchos were introduced, all A
| No. 1 buckers and kickers, and the now
/ famous Dick Greer was called again.
Out sprang the broncho, bucking and
kicking in sheer wantonness; but this
was waste of time; the man from
Apache county was after him, and away
they went in wild race over the plain.
Slowly the rider gained, and in few
moments the fleeing animal was caught,
thrown, and tied; the saddle was strip
ped from the other horse and buckled
upon it, and with bound the cowboy
was on the captive, resisting all his
efforts to throw him by the "hog back"
motion. All this was done in 12l min
utes, thereby securing Mr.. Greer the
prize of $40 awarded for the best time.
