JACKS LUCK.
A STORY OF THANKSGIVING.

Before the Captain could reply, Jack dis
appeared among the shadows Of the wharf
buildings. Like all sailors, he was super
stitious. "No luck in thirteen" muttered
he.
Exactly thirteen years ago that night
he had gone to sea, and it was the first

would have been jubilant over that fact

home. His kin were all dead; he had for
gotten some or his boyhood' s friends, and
fine others had forgotten him. He was in
a strange city, and oh, the mockery of it,
the morrow would be Thanksgiving Day.
For what should he be thankful?
'"For having known Peggy" whispered
his heart
AYE. God bless her!'
In spi e of the angy sky, the treacher-
ously icy pavements and the singing

THE SOULS THANKS.
BY CARL srENcER.

There is no Joy IN all the earth,
There Is no bird to sing;
Scarce through the chill and silentGir
Some brown leaves quivering.
Wan Nature in the dust Of death
Has cast her hope away;
"A nobler Joy, Drawer faith
Must glorify TO day.
What music is in singing days,
o soul, till thou rejoicel
Gods dumb creation patiently
Is waiting for thy voice.
For when this solemn hush is laid
On all the lesser things,
y then the sweetest bird He made
Serenest scars and sings.
What shall we renderl Thanks alone
For treasures OF the dustl
For beauty bhghted in the frostl
For wealth that turns TO rust!
The heavens listen deeper: Sing,
. heart, though faint and sad;
The gilt thy poverty may bring
Sail make thy Father glad.
His peace shall fall where penitence
Lays down its burdened years,
And grief that cannot smile as yet
May consecrate its tears.
He listens deep as deepest woe
To hear the song begin
Whose grand rejoicing overflow
Shall ring His kingdom in.
0 Love, that of thy dearest gifts
Art still the dearer part!
1t is the sum aud Sc Il of bliss
TO SEE Thee as thou art.
And we who see not yet can sing,
Half knowing we are blest;
In every winter Thou art spring.
In every want rest.
Hark through the ages ebb and flow
What rhythmic forces beat.
Wave after wave of growing light
Upbelrs us TO His feet.
And when the shining hosts from far
With many songs appear,
The praises Of the saddest star
Shall hush them all TO hear.

Electric Acupuncture.

The Chinese. we are told. employed
acupuncture at least 4. 900 years since,
and the japanese adopted it long ago.
Their practitioners employed punctur-
ing needles of gold and silver, and their
manufacture was an art of great inn
portance. They were of different
shapes. Some bladed like swords and
others of the ordinary needle form.
At the end of the eighteenth century
acupuncture was introduced into Eu-
rope. and was developed in the present
century. NJ. Cattle, French electro
clan. has recently constructed variety
of needles for electrical acupuncture
specially applicable to the perforation
of painful tumors. so rs to avo Il I'M
necessary pain. By the electric acu-
puncture the current is conveyed into
the tumor and applied at the point
where it IS most required to effect the
dissolution of the morbid liquor con-
tanned in it, For this purpose the blade
is vanished, except ut the point, and
thus insulated, so that the current only
escapes at tho point. Glass or India
rubber has been used TO coat the needle.
but insulating varnish is preferred
since it does not thicken the probe so
much. The upper end of the needle is
connected TO one pole of the voltac
battery used, and there is Il conducting
plate applied TO the skin, and connect
ed to the other pole. When. therefore.
the needle is forced into the tumor the
current flows from its point to the con-
ducting-plate through the flesh, and
decomposes any unhealthy fluids that
there may be in lis passage. This pro-
cess aids the absorption of these secre-
tions and the destruction of the tumor.

New York Herald.
Miss Anderson'S handsome manager,
Mr.. Abud, and the mistress of the
wardrobe spent most of Sunday twist
ing and tying up and steaming our
Mary's gowns to make them appear
artistic. They are made la Gree, and
are designed by Alma TadeMa, who, ac-
cordlng to Miss Anderson, is far ahead
of Worth in artistic gowning. Always
speak of gowns when you speak to Miss
Anderson about clothes. She hates be-
frilled and trimmed-up dresses. and she
would not wear Paris dress for any
thing.
Well, these Greek gowns are made
out of Liberty materials. They were
mostly cut out and draped by the fair
actress herself. although some one else
did the sewing. AS Hermione. in the
first actof "A Winters Tale" she is to
be in white. with long crimson cloak
embroidered in a silver KEY pattern. In
the trial scene she is to wear white en-
tirely. This dress is remarkably beau
tiful in material, and shows best as the
queen sits dropping before the court.
A bewitching salmon-eolered dress.
with silver clasps. is to be worn when
she first appears as Perdita, and then
as the statue she is all in pure marble
white. This last dress has been crum-
pied the most, and with it is to be worn
a white wig. Miss Anderson never
wears wig except when she cannot
help it. Her own hair is luxuriant and
reaches far below her waist.

pounds of pork, which squeeled loud

Special to the Globe.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Nov. 23.-The
switchmen's strike presented no new
features to-day, except in reducing
everybody who could be spared from
other service to take hand in moving
cars and turning switches. Engineers
and firemen, though claiming to have
sympathy for the strikers. were at work
and declined to leave the switching en-
gineS. although they were frequently
solicited to do so. About the various
yards the strikers gathered and used
their time in some instances in try
ing to prevent the turning of switches
and in others ia jeering those
who volunteered to do their work.
Nothing worse than repeated shouting
of 'scabs !" ''rats!" and epithets of that
character were INDUCED in, but in the

gang OF tOughs tried to induce the strik-
ers to resort to violence. They failed.
No freight trains were moving except
those coming i'll with perishable freight
and one or two that were made up on
the Belt during the day. There was a
nervous apprehension that the night
movements would bring Oh trouble, but
visit TO all the yards showed quiet
condition of affairs. During the after
noon it was reported that the L.,
ID. d. S. had agreed to pay more
wages for less work and that the men
had gone to work The men did re-
turn, but President Hammond says it
was no concession, but that the terms
were satisfactory to both parties. In
nearly every other instance the super
intendentS have given orders to the
yard masters to discharge the strikers,
whose places they will seek 10 fill with
new men. 1t is said by some of the
officials that the business of the roads
will be transacted as usual after to-mor

of lessening their demands. Passenger
