When Travelling.

I cannot imagine why people are
SO suspicious of one another in this
world. Start a car full Of pc ople out
Of a depot. and for the first hundred
miles of the way they look askance
at each other, as though doubtful
whether to keep their pocAetbook I'M
derwatch ornot. This world has lots
more nice people in it than bad, just
as a summer mead ow has more
flowers and birds than snakes.
Only towards and idiots go through
the land ignoring all the wealth of
blossom, all the shadow and shine of
summer weather, to keep perpet-
ual outlook for snakes. Snakes are
occasional, but flowers and sunshine,
thank God, are perpetual. Do you
knowI rather fancy suspicious people
are very mean themselves, and know
ing their own capabilities for evil
they suspect and ,seek;in others the
fsimilitude of them selves, as magnet
lied iron searches out steel. Chica-
go Herald.

kangaroo, as practiced in Australia,
is second in excitement and interest
only to killing the Buffalo. The
scheme is not without commercial

How the Ocean is Sounded,

It has been found difficult to get
to the correct soundings Of the
Atlantic. A mid-shipman of the
navy overcalne the difficulty, and
shot weighing thirty pounds carries
down the line. A hole is bored
through the sinker, through which
a rod ofiron is passed moving easily
back and fourth. In the end ofthe
bar a cup is dug out and the
inside coated with lard. The bar is
made fast to the line and sling
holds the shot on.
When the bar, which extends below
the ball, touches the earth the sling
unhooks and the shot slides off. The
lard in the end of the bar holds some
of the sand, or whatever may be on
the bottom, and a drop shuts over
the cup to keep the sand in. When
the or ound is reached a shock is felt,
as if an electric current has passed
through the line. Ocean.

His Turkey.

The best practical joke ever knew
said Uncle Will, in the story teising
hour after dinner-was one I played
years ago when lived at Hamp-
stead. / was working at the carpe,-
ter's trade,-it was before Igot the
start [ have now, and a lot Of us
were just finishing old Simpkins's
barn. Simpkins was the richest and
stingiest man in town. One after
noon, several days before Thanks
giving, we got talking about him,
and Jerry Bowles said: ssHe's an,
old screw, but I bet he'll have the
decency to give us all Thanksgiving
turkeys"
We laughed at that, and told Jer-
.ry he might take it out in betting,
for though .Simpkins had given us
long job, he wasen't in the least
bound to consider US permanent
workmen.
But Jerry was obstinate and
greedy, and he talked and clustered
till we were tired of the whole subject,
and made up my mind that he de-
served q lesson. [ didn't say any
thing at the time, but that night I
gave a hint to Tom Knowles, crony
of mine, and he quite agreed with
me.
Welaid all our plans, and the even
ing before Thanksgiving Knowles
came to my house, bringing a pair of
large yellow turkey legs. l had ar
ranged q knobby bundle of sticks
and shavings, and we tied the legs
firmly to one end OF it; then the
whole was wrapped in stout brown
paper, with those tell-tale feet stick
ing out and any one would have de-
clared the bundle contained a big
turkey.
My wife wanted me to go to the
market for some purchases which
had not been delivered, and about
which she was getting anxious, SO
that gave me q good excuse for driv-
ing down town. I harnessed Kit in
to the light wagon, put the mock
turkey under the seat, and Tom and
/ started in high glee.
When we reached Jerry's house, he
was standing in the door, and we
drove on to do our errands. BY the
time the market-man had packed
apples, oranges, a big squash and a
turkey into the wagon half an hour
had passed, and we thought it safe
to venture on our joking way. So
we drove to the corner next Jerry's
house, and Tom, after pulling his
hat down and his coat-collar up to
disguise himself, went to deliver the
turkey. ..-,.
When he came back, he was over
come with laughter at remem boring
how pleased Jerry had seemed; he
hadn't recognized Tom at all, but
just took the turkey, as Tom said,
and ran in to tell his wife.
[ don't believe | have laughed so
much since I was u child as 1 did in
thinking how Jerry's face would
change when he opened that bundle.
I dropped Tom at his house, went
home, and carried my parcels into
the kitchen. Then, when had UNI
harnessed, my wife and Iopened
them, and-my friends, Tom had
made mistake! He had given
Jerry the real turkey, and I had
brought the dummy home! 1t served
me right, Isuppose, but those turkey
legs did not make a very good din

We Eat Too Much,

There is something new under the
sun-a new way to make youth and
health and beauty perpetual. Nota
new method ofphysical culture, not
new dietary scheme, nor yet a new
application of that subtle principle
by which the mind rules the body.
None of these, but a measure so nov

ic that it finds favor with many who
would none of all the other fads.
A new Hypatia has arisen in the
person of New York lady physician,
and the doctrine of physical immor-
tality which she teaches is to fast.

years of age and looks twenty-five.

THE THANKSGIVING DINNER.

Around the richly laden board
The family are clustered
Where's spread the glorious tempting hoard
The housewives skill hath mus tered.
If ought can bring more joyous ease
Than this, call me a sinner
Or anything; but not late, please,
To the Thanksgiving dinner.
We wander far apart at tunes,
But here in sweet communion,
Forget the joys Of other chimes,
In the years reunion;
Whate, err the threads of Joy or pain
Reeled off by Time. the spinner,
How blest to gather round again,
Tie dear Thanksgiving dinner.
What rhymester could enumerate
d Such joys, or name some sweeter;
Their kinds and mum Der are too great
To harnessen be in metre.
Sufficient it, indeed, must be
To find ones self winner,
OF all the welcome jolftv
That crowns Thanksgiving dinner.

Thanksgiving Pulpits,

-
There were three public occasions
IN the course of the year upon which
the New England clergy used to feel
warranted in preaching politics.;
these we're Fast Day, ELECTION Day"
which meant the day on which a
new governor was inaugurated, .
and Thanksgiving Day. Few such
occasions were allowed to pass un-
improved. But the pews kept close
watch OF the pulpit, and more
stories are told of those occasional
sermons than Of any Others. Their
humor is commonly apparent at q
glance: -
In DR.. Adams book on 'Thanks-
giving" a good story is told of the
Rev. DR.. Ely, of Connecticut. The
good doctor is described as one of
the most prudent, faithful, spiritual
pastors Of his time. In a season OF
great political excitement, it was
reported by persons hostile to him
that he had preached on political
subjects in neighboring parish 1t
WAS thought proper to trace the re-
port to it's source. The neighboring
parish was visited, and the inquiry
made "Did DR.. Ell v preach politics
when here?'
''Yes.''
"What did he say?"
"Well, sir, if he did not preach p OIL
ltics, he prayed politics.
what did he say?"
"Say? He said, Though hand
join in hand: yet the wicked shall not
go UNPUBLISHED.
Another story told by DR.. Adams
can be referred to the thanksgiving
pulpit with lestconfdence. There
was once elected governor OF Massa-
chusetts a certain worthy gentleman
who had been voted for as a candi-
date year after year, but who had
always before been defeated. Even
when he was elected, he slipped in by
the narrowest of all maj orities-one
vote. The minority no doubt felt
that his administration was a dis
pensation, and were rather in clined
to fasting than to give thanks.
The custom prevailed, whenever
the govern or issued the annual proc
lamation for Thanksgiving, of send
ing by the sheriff of the county q
copy of the same, On a large hand
bill, to be read from every pulpit,
which document invariably Closed
as proclamations in Massachusetts
still do,-after the signature of the
governor, with the exclamati on,
God save the Commonwealth OF
Massachusetts"
On the year referred to the newly
elected magistrate issued his procla-
nation in the usual form. It is said
that venerable clergyman Of the
old party laid the broad sheet over
his reading-desk, and after perform
ing the professional duty of reciting
it, with an ill-disguised aversion, an
nounced the official signature with
an information teebly marked by
points OF Interrogation and surprise:
"Marcus Morton, Governor? God
save the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts! !"
