Thanksgivlng IN enc schools.


Our city schools close for the
Thanksgiving today and tomorrow.
Happy faces and bright eyes of chill
dren testify that the younger genera
ton appreciate the festival and its as
sociations.
In most of the rooms of the school
building, exercises were carried out
yesterday afternoon to commemorate
the day. Better than ALA custom be-
gun year ago in Miss Browns grade,
was this year carried out in every
department of the school. The pupils
were permitted by their teachers to
bring to school such eatables as could
be easily spared from their respective
homes These, under the direction
of committee of the teachers, consist
ing of Misses Brown, Crosby and Ew-
ing, were for distribution among fam
lilies whose circumstances are such as
to preclude Thanksgiving dinner
to-day. Out of their abundance the
children give to those to whom the
same abundance is lacking. Our re-
porter visited the various rooms yes
terday morning. There seemsd to he
at least wagon load of eatables on
hand then and more were to follow.
Among the good things observed i'm
the various rooms a partial list, with
out quantity appended, follows: Flour,
canned fruit, rolled oats, potatoes, tea,
pies, dried apples, dried peaches, on
ions, corn meal, cake, sugar, coffee,
pumpkin, sweet potatoes, live chick
eds, soda, turnips, nuts, baked meats,
live ducks, graham flour, and so on
and so on. Many other substantials
were to be added during the after
noon. Among others was quarter of
beef to be contributed by the teachers.
1t would seem impossible that any
one in lola should lack good dinner
to-day.
Bless the children.

When a man in impecunious circum-
stances acts in a manner somewhat
unusual, he is straightway dubbed
a crank; if. on the other hand,
a man of means is guilty of the
selfsame actions, he is termed mere
ly eccentric. Maj. McCalligan's bank
account was large enough to allow him
to be called by the longer and more
euphonious appellation, and persistent
enough in his oddity to keep the sib-
liant word continually upon the tongues
of the people unluckily obliged, by
stress of circumstances, to dwell inside
the corporation of the populous college
town The major had settled there
long before any great barracks of a
school building had been erected, be-
fore the noise and confusion consequent
upon the arrival of hundreds of manner
less youths within the town-youths
who laughed law and order to scorn,
and had since filed the majors nights
with hideous unrest. That he the
hero Of a hundred battles, should be
routed by such an enemy to his peace,
that he should pull up stakes and fly be-
fore so pulling, so inane 4 foe was as far
from his thoughts as that the majors
ire was that adversary's chief joy. In
every way possible, innocently or
maliciously, these tormentors sought to
arouse the majors wrath, desisting
only when they had won for themselves
the dear delight of seeing his quick
Irish blood fly to his scowling brow,
and bearing his quick Irish tongue
berating them with the choice invective
ne had. with seeming forethought, gath
cred for such occasions as these in his
native land.
In the college town, therefore, the
major had remained, pestered and en-
joyed by youths who grew TO manhood,
graduated, and, as the years few by,
began sending on second editions of
themselves TO their beloved Alma Mater.
During this passage of time the
majors sister-the sole idol of his heart
had married and, after several years of
married bliss, had found herself q
widow, with two little children to care
for. Although she realized their great
need of her, and fought bravely TO live
for their sal1es, her efforts were of no
avail, and each day saw her more and
more the shadow of her former self. In
vain her brother tried TO comfort her
the fond heart was broken, and before
the winter frost had melted above the
grave wherein lay all her hopes, there
was another mound to be covered by
the soft white mantle of the snow, and
the major, filed with that mournful
tenderness felt only by lamenting Irish
hearts. led the two little ones back to
his own freside, accepting them as
sacred legacy. He gave them his name
and his undivided care and attention,
and jOyed in the sense of his ownership
of two charming children, who were
now as much his own as though he had
suffered sleepless nights during their
infancy, and been fretted by wife OF
his ehOiee-for the major was not a
marrying man. and the thought of an
outsider woman At thst-eoming into

william Dean HOwellS TO Write Story

It is said that Mr.. Howells, who Is per-
haps the foremost Of living American
novellsts, has long had In mind story Of
American girl-life, which he believes
will be the best piece Of work he has
ever done. The greet novelist has now
been induced to write out the story, and
at present he is at work upon It. II Is q
novel unlike any which Mr.. Howells has
ever written. It deals entirely with the
struggles Of q western girl who goes 10
New York, and the story will have about
it all the flavor which attaches 10 tale
Of city life with young girl as the
central heroine. Heretofore all Of Mr..
Howells novels have gone to the HsrperS,
but this special girls novel will be print
ed during 1892 In The Ladies Home
Journal, Of Philadelphia, the publishers
Of which have bought the exclusive
rights to the story from Mr.. Howells.
The novel Is to be beautifully illustrated,

BAKING POWDER FACTS

Brought Out by the Official Government
Tests-Purlty OF Food Demanded by tho
PeOOle-Which Baking Powder viii Give
1T?
From tn Chicago Tribune
The public is always responsive to sug-
gestions about the food 1t eats. Great in
terest has been taken In the investiga-
tions made by the United States and
Canadian governments and by the differ
ent boards of health to show the purity
or impurity Of milk, baking powders,
spices, and other articles of daily use in
the culinery department Of our house
holds.
Just now the subject of baking powder
is claiming public attention. We all de-
sire pure and wholesome bread, and this
cannot be had with the use of impure or
poisonous baking powder. There can be
no longer any question that all the
cheaper lower grades of baking powders
contain either alum, lime or phosphate
acid.
The official analyses Of the United
States and Canadian governments have
therefore been studied with interest and
have pretty clearly established the facts
upon this subject. The United States
government report gives the names of
eighteen we'll known powders, some Of
them advertised as pure cream Of tartar
baking powders, that contain alum.
The report shows that the Royal bak-
ing powder was found the highest In
leavening strength, evolving 1905 cubic
inches Of gas per single ounce Of powder.
The Canadian government investiga-
tions were of a still larger number Of
powders. The Royal baking powder
WAS here also shown the purest and high
est In strength, containing 1922 cubic
inches of leavening gas per ounce Of
powder. Nine other cream Of tartar
powers were tested, their average stregth
being reported to be SO cubic inches Of
gas per ounce.
These figures are very instructive 70
the practical housekeeper. They indl-
