Thanksgiving Fun.

Merriment should run riot on Turkey

licking fun for the children, little and big.
In after years, when they are away from
home, its influences will nnger around
them still. Your son or daughter may be
kept in the straight and narrow way'' by
the remembrance of just one happy home
and night.

''What did he bring your one must be

Then you repeat the remark about the

The first one who misses any motion
must pay a forfeit, and 1t is needless to say
that the forfeits are many. 1t is really

been thoroughly instructed in games Of this

A Strange Suicide.

One OF the most extraordinary cases
of suicide in the annals of self-de-
struction is just reported from Austria.
where regular epidemic of suicides
seems to exist. Lieut.. Mangasius of
Klausenburg. one of the most popular
officers in the Austrian army, is the
victim of this queer freak. while his
bosom friend aud messmate is u MUIR
derer, yet not guilty of the crime. The
last time Manasius went to the bar
racks where his company was quarter
cd. just few minutes before his tragic
taking Off, he was observed to be abb
sent-minded aud much depressed i'm
spirits. He talked with his messmate
for few minutes and then went to a
room where number of new magazine
rifles were kept, loaded one, returned,
and banded it to his friend, saying:
Take this rifle and let me see II you
can aim 1t properly. Point at my eye"
Tho soldier had no idea the weapon
was loaded, and obeying the words
''Make ready" Present." 'Fire." he
discharged the rifle at distance of
three yards into the officers eye. The
bullet went through the skull and
death was instantaneous. He left a
letter for his captain saying that tho
soldier who shot him was innocent.

Ho had told his father how courageously
Ethel had come to his rescue, and how her
hand had been bitten. At first the butcher
had been furious because Mrs. Sequin had
such an animal as Jupiter about her place,
but later he did not blame her or the dog
so severely. He even made Ethel present
Of the very turkey she had priced in his
shop. Then Mrs. Sequin told Uncle Bryce
oil about 1t.
The Thanksgiving dinner was q great
success. Uncle Bryce had learned more Of
his sisters circumstances through the
accident, and no paid for the feast and she
cooked it.
Uncle Bryce had saved q little surprise
for their holiday. He said that he was not
visitor, but that he had come there to
stay. There would be no moro pinching
poverty in that cottage, for he had money
enough to keep all of them comfortably.
He said he would take care of Ethel and
her mother as long as he lived. And then
he said that they all had great cause for
thankfulness. They had been kept apart
for long while, and now were united.
Ethel and her mother had found some one
to protect them and care for them, and he
had found a bright little home and two
loving hearts. He said that great man
named Edmund Spencer had written that
''thankfulness is the tune OF angels"
After the day was over our little girl fell

IN REGARD TO sUNsTRoKE.
Tho Things to be Done to Avoid It, OF
When IL Occurs.

Sunstroke is one OF the affletions to
which humanity is liable in"summer.
during the hottest of the weather. Heat
and moisture together seem to DO the
conditions most favorable to its oc-
currence. for moisture in warm air
prevents the radiation OF heat from the
body. and thermal fever or sunstroke,
as 1t is called. is probably an overhead
ing Of the blood, producing chemical
or fermentive changes in 1t which are
inimical to health and even to life.
When, therefore, during the heated
term. one who has been exposed to tue
suns heated RAYS in q humid atmos-
phere begins to suffer from headache.
giddiness, nausea. and disturbance Of
sight, accompanied with sudden and
great prostration of the physical forces,
sunstroke is probably imminent.
III such one is wise, he will, when
the symptoms above given manifest
themselves, Immediately seek cool
place and make use of some restora-
tives, such us aromatic ammonia. &C..
and he may avoid further trouble. but
If he persists with his business, he will
doubtless soon become very i'll, which
illness usually takes the form of heat
exhaustion. heat apoplexy. or genuine
sunstrokc. the thermic fever of some
writers. Those who are exhausted by
the heat have a cool. moist skin. a
rapid. weak pulse and respiration
movement, and the pupil of the eye is
dilatcd. In fact the symptoms are
those of collapse. These patients will
probably recover promptly. an event
which may be FASTENED by the use OF
tonic and restorative treatment.
Those who suffer from heat apoplexy
frequently become unconscious at the
outset. The heart and breathing APP
paratus are not markedly disturbed
and the pupil may be normal, but. un-
consciousness deepens and the case
runs on to final termination. An
artery has been broken in the brain.
aud the poured-out blood pressing on
the nerve centres. brings about the
fatal event. A treatment calculated to
draw the blood from the brain to the
extremities. hot foot baths, bleedings.
&C., promises to be the most useful in
such cases.
The thermic fever patient Is uncon-
scious and convulsed. and his body
temperature may DO 10S degrees Fab
renheit-that is, about ten degrees
above normal. The skin of this patient
feels as though it would burn your
hand when laid thereon. In this case
the thorough and prompt application
of cold is needed. Ice to the head and
cold water to the body generally will
be in order.
Medical advice and assistance should
be promptly had in either of the two
cases last referred to. Complete re-
covery from sunstroke is rare, the
brain being permanently crippled or
affected. Residence in cold climate,
it is said, affords most hope for such
patients. boston Herald.

ing dinner in her house, she came very near
crying for Joy. Bryce was her brother,
whom she had not seen for dozen years
or more. She was widow living In a
suburb OF Boston with her little daughter
Ethel. She had very scanty income, and
1t was only by dint of the strictest economy
and by good management that she kept
tho gaunt wolf want, away from her door,
Her brother had been living In Yokohama,
and making modest fortune among tho
Japanese.
Ethel Scquin was nine years old when
she learned that her uncle was coming to
visit Thorn. Under almost any circum-
stances she would have been delighted to
see him. She had heard q great deal
about him, for her mother seemed never
tired Of sounding his praises; so the child
had actually grown fond OF him in his
absence.
But---can you believe iti-in spite Of her
affection for her unknown relative, and de-
spite her intorest in the country from
whence he was coming, this contradictory
little girl wished In her inmost heart that
he would stay away.
She knew that her mother would have
IN unusually good dinner on Thanksgiving
day, both In honor of tho national holiday
and In honor Of her brothers. arrival. No
little girl ought TO object to that. She
knew that the cottage would DO rcdolent
with baking pies and roasting fowl, and,
instead Of smiling ut this prospect she shed
some very hot tears.
The turkey was alive now, and strutting
about the yard He had onco belonged to
quito respectable brood, but one after
another Of his family had run out in the
wet grass, taken cold and died, until only
this solitary Turk remained. Ho was q
white turkey named Sultan. He was quite
a. pompous and quite as dignifiod as any
sultan Of Turkey had ever been. Some
body had told Ethel that the Arabic word
sultan meant mighty man." and this
white fowl was rs proud as II no under
stood his title. No peacock was ever vain
or than he. Whenever anybody glanced
Ct him he spread his tail, rubbed his wings
on the ground, and gobbled haughtily.
He was very white, very fat, and, so far as
turkeys go, he was very good looking. No
doubt no would make q delectable dinner.
Mrs. Sequin resolved to kill tho sultan in
honor Of the wanderers return, Just rs
checrfuliy as the father In tho good Book
killed tho fatted calf in for his prodigal
son. But Ethel did not share this cheer
fitness. Sho admired the sultan spite Of
his silly airs, and she would have preferred
70 80 without any Thanksgiving dinner
and 70 have dispensed with her uncle's
visit rAther than have the proud white
turkey killed.
