DRUNKEN TURKEYS.

A Queer Thanksgiving Custom Formerly
Observed in Central New York.
The opening ceremony of the festivi-
ties connected with Thanksgiving Day
in a part of Central New York used to
be, and perhaps still is, making drunk
the turkey that was to be the most i'm
portant feature of the holiday feast
When the bird that was to occupy the
place Of honor on the table had been
selected it was taken to one corner of
the farm-yard and cup Of brandy was
placed before it. The turkey would
drink this eagerly, and wou&-ssoc- =.

In the meantime the other fowls would
look on with gravity and wonder at the
curious capers of their companion as he
toddled around, sometimes gravely
swinging his head from side to side and
sometimes lifting it high in the air.
All the members of the family, and
the relatives and friends who had come
to spend Thanksgiving with it, would
gather in the yard and enjoy the sight.

hausted and overcome with drowsiness.
he was killed.
The good housewives imagined that
it increased the flavor of the turkey

drunk Families that would not allow
a drop of liquor to be brought into their
houses at any other time, except as
medicine. would not think it wrong to
make their Thanksgiving turkey drunk.

Advantages of Poverty.

There is in New York City married
man whose wife was reared in luxury
and always enjoyed wealth till four
years ago, when, through unforeseen
circumstances, he lost his all and fell
into poverty, but not into the dumps.
He gave up his mansion. took quarters
in tenement and got hard work at
low wages. She took to the kitchen and
did the cookery of the households; she
took to the tub and did the washing for
the family; she took to the broom and
did the sweeping and cleaning of the
apartments. He is still at hard labor
on low wages, and she is yet at work in
her household. His muscles have been
developed till his strength is doubled,
and her nervous system has been invig-
grated so that she has forgotten the
megrims by which she was once affiict-
ed The twain has enjoyed life better
in their four years of mpecuniosity than
they had ever enjoyed it in all their
years of fortune.-N. Y. Sun.

The Evil Effects of Delay In Meeting Omen

The Evil Effects of Delay In Meeting Omen
obligations.
Many persons in forming and in car
rying out their ideas of Justice fail to
take account of the element of time.
They intend to deal justly with every
one, to withhold from no one his due, to
fulfill every obligation and satisfy
every claim; but they feel no special
duty to hasten these acts of Justice. If
they are done eventually they are con-
tent, and think that others should be
content also. The hours or days or
weeks that may elapse between the
claim and their fulfillment of it do not
seem to them very important, if it is
but ultimately discharged. They would
not for the world evade debt, but they
will delay its payment without any
punctuation. They intend to throw all
their influence on the side of the right,
but whether to-day or tomorrow they
have not decided. Now there are, OF
course, some case where this may be
unattended With any apparent evil re-
suits; there are others where more
or less Inconvenience ensues; and still
others where all manner of suffering
and loss Is entailed. Those who come
close enough to the poorer classes to
succeed in gaining their confidence find,
that one prolific source of the suffering
they are trying to alleviate is the
unpunciual payment of services rem
dered. Happily the people who DELHI
erately cheat a workman or a work.
woman out OF his or her just earning
are few; but the number who put them
off to n more convenient season is by no
means small. Slight excuses. such as
the trouble OF preprring for it before
hand, Of making change. or Of breaking
into some interesting occupation. will
suffice to quiet whatever companctions
ment that is due. They can not see the
disappointment, the WEAKNESS the de-
NAL of forts or necessities, the ina
bility to pay a pressing creditor or
to employ a needed physician, perhaps
the sickness, suffering, ruin, and even
death, which may often follow their
procrastination. Even where the re-
suits are less Immediately disastrous
they often give rise to a series of Of
lenses He VINO fails to collect his dues
frequently fails in consequence to pay
his debts. and thus whole series Of I'M
paid workers may trace back their vari-
Gus troubles to single delinquent
Such people will say that in the end
they will pay what they owe, but this is
not so. for they owe promptness. With
out this, Justice has not been rendered.
Tardy payment can never atone for the
injury which may have been inflicted.
No regret, no apology, no added inter
est even can ever undo what has been
done, or restore what by this negligence
and Indifference has been taken away.
Though it is true that such results may
not follow, it is certain that they often
do, and we are never sure that they will
not. Often those who press the least
for their just dues need them the most,
and we can not foresee the consequences
of delay.-Philadelphi Ledger.

OlD-TIME CARICATURE.

The Ancient Egyptian Tombs by No
Means Devoid of Humor.
Caricature was known from a very
early period, little broad some times
and full of satire, but telling and origi-
nal In papyrus of the nineteenth
dynasty, now in the Turin Museum,
amusing scenes are depicted in the love
affairs of shaven priest and song
stress of the Temple of Ammon, while
in the Same papyrus are sketched comic
groups of animal life. In the first scene
a lion, crocodile and an ape are giving
a vocal and instrumental concert. Next
comes an ass, dressed. armed and
sceptered like a Pharaoh. With ma
jestic swagger he receives the gifts pre-
scented to him by cat of high degree,
to whom bull acts as proud cond uctor.
A lion and gazelle are playing at
draughts, hippopotamu Is perched in
tree, and a hawk has climbed into the
tree by means of a ladder. and tries to
dislodge him. A Pharaoh in the shape
of rat, drawn in chariot by prancing
greyhounds, is proceeding to storm a
fort garrisoned by cats, the latter hav
ing no arms but teeth and claws, where
as the rats have battle-axes, shields and
bows and arrows. The artists idea
seems to have been the defeat of the
cats by the animals upon which they
prey; or, if we look for deeper mean
ing, the successful revolt of the op-
pressed upon the oppressor.
In papyrus in the British Museum
flock of geese are being driven by a cat
and herd of goats by two wolves, with
crooks and wallet; one of the wolves is
playing a double flute. A drawing on
a tile in the New York Museum repre-
sents (quite in the Caldicott style) cat
dressed as an Egyptian lady of fashion,
seated languidly in a chair, slipping
wine out of small bowl, and being
famed and offered dainties by an AFFECT
looking tom cat with his tail between
his legs.
On the walls of tomb at Thebes be-
longing to priest of Ammon the love
of caricature is INDUCED in even in the
sacred subject of a funeral. One of the
boats following in the mournful process

tropolis has grounded, and in being
pushed off the bank, strikes smaller
one laden with sacerdotal offerings of
cakes, fruits, etc. The table on which
these dainties are arranged has upset.
and the good things are falling like a
hail-storm on the heads OF the aston

WOMEN IN ENGLAND.

Julian Ralph Don't Blame My Lord for
Marrying Yankee Girl.
A word may be in place here about
the English women. They are very
little like the better moiety of Ameri'
cans. They appear to have the most
bountiful health, and they certainly do
possess the loveliest compilations imag-
Unable. The Indian females Of Alaska,
who cover their faces with thick black
mixture Of SCOT and grease. in order to
preserve their beauty. may have the
most perfect compilations. as they
boast, but until there Is other evidence
than their assertion. the palm certainly
must go to the English. Even in White
chapel, or among tho peasant or fisher
girls, you will see cheeks like the
sides of peaches, while among the Lon
don beauties the faces are like ivory
suffused with the tidge of rose leaves
We bake our faces in overheated houses
at least six months in the year, and if
we expose them, it is to violent heat or
sudden changes. They live at home in
such discomfort that the best way to get
warm has been for ages to get out of
doors and walk. The consequence is
that they are born with a fondncss for
the open air and open-air exercise,
and always in climate moist and
productive of the most superb
animal and vegetable development
But it seems to me that the
finest English women fall far short of
our mark. Big, bony, heavy women
too tall and big and heavy-they carry
shoulders as roportionately wide as
the sails of a windmill, and then pinch
their waists to degree our women
never approached. They lack the grace
full, opulent curves of the perfect
woman. l never fully realized this until
l went to France, where the women are
often goddesses. Then l knew that I
had not seen in all England half
dozen such women as abound in Amer
lea and Paris. 1t was not until l went
English women lack not only rounding
outlines, but that they fail of being
stylish" and that they are wanting in
gracefulness. AS for the English young
girl, or miss" she is next door to
chrysalis, without wit, or spirit, or orig
inality, individuality or independence;
an appendage to her parent, dead
weight upon whatever company she is
led into; pulseless, milky-eyed, ami
mated identity; she lives, she moves,
she has her being-that is all. Nobody
can blame an English nobleman for
marrying an American girl if he can; of
that l am convinced.-Julian Ralph, in

TWILIGHT TALES.

WOODS, fields and hills are clothed in gray
The twilight mists arise
A single goldeu-pointed ray
Lights up the western skies.
And meath the shadow of the hill
Where spreads the forest dark and still,
A fairy-kingdom lies.
The shadows hold for me spell
perfect witchery.
The echo of the vesper-beu
Still sounds from tree to tree,
And voices that are low and sweet
From every darkened nook repeat
A tale of love to me.
Some voices tell the tale in rhyme,
And DER it seems to fall
The echo of the vesper chime
Sometimes word is all.
A single name-a whisper low
Tells all the story, and know
Alone to me they call.
dare not penetrate the shade,
But stand within the plain
While comes from lat enchanted glade
The musical refrain
The voices vanish at the day,
But when the mists rise, cold and gray
The tales a.e told again.

A lady residing in a mansion near
London, whose staff includes several fe-
male servants, was visited by detective
from Scotland Yard, who requested per-
mission to see and examine the mem
bers of her household, as they were
searching for suspected character.
The request, although extraordinary,
was complied with, and each servant
was interviewed in turn. After the last
had left the room the detective pointed
ly asked the lady of the house if he had
seen all the servants, and she assured
him that he had, but added as an after
thought: Il have not called my lady's
maid, as she has been with me for two
years, and | know there can be nothing
against her" However, the officer
begged her ladyship to be allowed to
see the maid. and she was called. Di-
rectly the girl entered the room the de-
tective slipped on her wrists a pair of
handouts, saying, as he did so: We'll,
Bill. we have run you to earth at last"
The trim and attractive lady's maid
turned out to be man in disguise, who
had been wanted" by the police for
some time.-Boston Herald.
