Plymouth Boiled Dinner.

Pick over a quart Of large white dried
beans and two quarts of samp, and soak
them over night in separate vessels, in
sufficient cold water to reach three inches
above them. The next morning put
them over the fire IN a saucepan, with
boil them gently until the beans become
a pulp; as the water boils away, or is
absorbed by the samp and beans, add
more from the kettle in which the meat
mentioned below is being boiled; when
the dinner is done there should be
enough water to form a soup in COM
bination with the beans and samp, and
it should be palatably seasoned before
it is served. In another large saucepan
or kettle put six pounds of lean corned
beef, cut from the rump; one pound of
fat and lean salt pork, red pepper pod
and enough cold water to reach several
inches above the meat; place the kettle
over the fire and boil its contents gently,

Old Notions Concerning bridesmaids.

In many parts of Germany it is still
customary for the bridesmaids TO bring
the myrtle wreath, which they have
subscribed together to purchase on the
nuptial eve, to the house OF the bride,
and to remove il from her head al the
close Of the wedding day. After this
has been done, the bride is bllndtolded,
and the myrtle wreath being put into
her hand, she tries to place it upon the
head OF one Of her bridesmaids Is they
dance round her; for, IL accordance with
an old belief, whoever she crowns is
sure to be married within year from
that date. As May be imagined. the
ceremony is the source Of 10 email cx-
element, each bridesmaid being natu.

the bride. Referring once more 10 the

the second silver wire began to hum
like telegraph wires IN a storm. To
have pressed the other knobs would
have restored st. Vrain's atomized BODY
and floating soul to normal relations.
but the shaking of the room frightened
the sailor from further experiment in
that direction. He saw another knob
upon tho cylinder, marked FIVE, and
pressed il in total desperation.
The third wire between the cylinders
threw forth mighty rays and foot-long
electric sparks. Both cylinders toppled
forward, and toward each other, and, as
they fell, crashing, they melted under the
frightened sailors sight, first into flying
fragments of iron, and then into faint
and disappearing fakes of iron-rust.
The Solvent Force and the Vital Force,
released, and rushing into each Others
embrace, had naturally destroyed each
other, and somewhere in the dust-sown
particles of the dingy garret, into which
the earliest sunlight was just beginning
TO shine, were the atoms that half an
hour before had made up st. Vrain, the
greatest inventive genius the world had
known.
The trembling sailor fled from the
| spot in wild terror, and was on shipboard
and OF sea before another daybreak.
Deeper dust gathered on the walls and
books and forge; the rain drove in ct the
open window, and st. Vrain's blankets
nodded and decayed month after month.
At last the quarterly rent-day came,
and passed, and st. Vrain, for the first
time for ten years and three months,
failed to appear. The gruff, unshaven
receiver of stolen goods who owned the
building was delighted.
"Dot queer mar promise to pay
double rent, SO long as 1 never ask
questions about his pis'ness, I dinks he
counterfeit money. Now I make him
pay more" And he went to st. Vrains
garret, took possession Of his goods,
tools, and curiosities and ultimately sold
them. The receiver of the stolen goods
could not read and ST. Vrain's descrip-
tion OF his machine, written on brown
wrapping paper, was thrown into the
ash barrel with other rubbish.
Moral. .--Keely himself would better
not fool too much about his motor with
its unknown vapor force. The first

GIVE THANKS.
President Cleveland Issues Proclamation.

The following proclamation was issuedlNov
2, by the president of the United States of
America
cause to be thankful to Almighty God, whose
watchful care ard guiding hand have been
manifested In every stage OF their national
life, guarding and PROTESTING them In the hour
of darkness and danger. 1t is fitting and
proper that Il nation thus favored should on
one day in every year, for that purpose
especially appointed, publicly acknowledge
the goodness OF God and return thanks to
him for all his gracious gifts.
Therefore ], Grover Cleveland, president OF
the United States of America, do hereby desig-
nate and set apart Thursday, the 18th day OF
November, instant, as day Of public thanks
giving and prayer, and do invoke the observ-
ance of the same by all the people OF the
land. On that day let all secular business be
suspended and let the people assemble In
their usual place OF worship, and with prayer
and songs of praise devoutly testify their graft
tude to the giver OF every good and perfect
gift for all that He has done for us In the year
that has passed; for our preservation
ance from the shock and dan.
ger Of political CONFUSION tor the blessings OF
peace and for our safety and quiet while wars
and rumors of wars have agitated and afflicted
other nations Of the earth; for our security
against the scourge Of pestilence, which In
other lands claimed its dead by thousands and
filed the streets with mourners; for plenteous
corps, which reward the husbandman and In
crease our nations wealth, and for the con-
tentment throughout our boarders which fol-
lows in the train OF prosperity, and abundance.
And let there also be on the day thus set
apart a reunion OF families sanctfied and
chastened by tender memories and associa-
lions, and let the social intercourse OF friends
with pleasant "reminiscences renew the ties OF
affection and strengthen the bonds OF kindly
feelings. And let us by no means forget
while we give thanks and eujoy the comforts
which have crowned our lives, that truly
grateful hearts are inclined to deeds OF
charity, and that kind and thoughtful re-
membrance Of the poor will double the pleas
ure of our condition, and render our praise
and thanksgiving more acceptable In the sight
of the Lord.
