kelly's THANKSGIVING Message.

heIIyS 1hahkSSlVlhS message
The year Just about to close has been
one of almost unsurpassed bounty to the
products of the soil. No such reports
of the enormous yields of the earth, in
this land of ours, have ever before been
brought to our notice We have enough
and to spare, and to-day, for a reasonable
consid Grafton, if the gamblers in the
necessities of life do not prevent, we shall
be able to fill the lap of the impoverished
aud famine stricken millions of Europe,
whose cry for bread now sends thrill
of pain through the civilized world.
Shall they who to-day are striving to keep
body and soul together by feeding upon
grass and herbs be denied the commOnest
necessities of life when we have SO much
to spared And shall the great national
heart of charity and pity be hindered
from sending relief to the famished ones
of Europe who are dying like sheep for
want of sustenance? If permitted to do
work like this, the thanksgiving so Pc
culiar to our land will reach further. But
while we are thinking of the needs abroad,
so strong and eloquent in their pathetic
appeal, let us not forget, amid the rejoic-
ings of the present, amid the many
blessings we receive, and often beyond
our merit, let us not forget the ''poor we
have always with u.s." and that "when we
will we may do them good" To Glove
thy neighbor as myself, Pin the things per-
tanning to this life, can have no more per
feet illustration than in the bestowal of
the benefactions so many stand in
want of, and which we can 30
easily confer. 1t requires no ser
monizing to prove that sit is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." The speechless tongue and
the eyes filled with tears of gratitude for
your kindness, dear reader, will express
more to you than the most copious vocab-
ulary. A table we'll filled once in year,
it may be, by your thoughtfulness and
care; a warm garment to shield the weak
or the sick: bin of Goals, whose bright
ness tells them the story of the love of a
fellow being,-these are the things that
wiring out blessings upon your mead ana
brighten your path upon the earth. You
may not know all the joy you are per-
but being thankful yourself, you show it
most beautifully and practically when it is
made to alleviate the distress of another.
What with bright skies and happy
homes, fond recollections and joyous re-
unions; hearts filled with the love that
seeks others good as well as our own, we
have reason, indeed, for the thanksgiving
all are called upon to express to "the
Oliver of every good and every perfect
gift" And wheresoever Kelly may go,
may he find no earth-born cloud shutting
out the brightness which it is. fondly
hoped all may partake of in the passing
season, as it kindles anew in the heart the
remembrance of blessings given and bless
ings received.
Mckinley has done his part on sugar
Kelly has done his part on flour. Men of
wealth come next.

THE MISSING LINK.
EvolutiOni.ts Are Encouraged to Believe
That 1t Will Soon Be Found.

EvolutiOni.ts Are Encouraged to Believe
That 1t Will Soon Ee Found.
1t is worth mentioning that there has
recently come from Patagonia an
nounccmcnt of the discovery of q
monkey of the Tertiary, which was the
geological period before the present or
Quaternary, which is the last needed
link between the lemur and the men
like apes. 1t only remains now, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, in order that
the chain shall be complete, to find the
link between the anthropoid apes and
man.
This is the famous missing link, con-
corning which SO much speculation has
been offered. Evolutionists assert that
it will undoubtedly be found before
long. For the fact that it has not al
ready been discovered they offer very
plausible reasons. The way in which
animals are preserved in fossil shape is
by falling into the water and becoming
imbeddcd in the muddy bottom. A suf-
fcicnt time has not yet elapsed for com
ing across the remains thus preserved
of the ancestors of the human race i'm
mcdiately between the apes and the
present generation. The history of the
world is story of continuous retreat OF
the waters from the land-rivcrs drying
up, lakes becoming shallow, and seas
receding from the continents.
Let it be supposed that five hundred
thousands years ago tribes of the miss
ing links lived upon the earth. Neces-
sarily very nearly all of them in dying
would disappear. Not even their bones
would be left But some few would be
drowned in the lakes, or their bodies
falling into the streams, would be swept
into the larger areas of water, becom.
ing on occasions entombed in the mud
at their bottoms. In the course of time
the water having gone away, that muG
is transformed into rock. 1t appears as
dry land, and then for the first time the
fossil-hunter comes along and makes
his discoveries.
Thus it will happen within few cen
turtles at the furthest that missing links
will be dug out from more places than
one, the vanishing waters having dis
closed the resting places of their re,
mains, and thereby will be established
in its entirety the chain which connects
that most wonderful of animals, man
with the bit of primordial protoplasn
f"nm which he is sprung

ACROSS THE SAHARA.
Speculations on the Railroad Which May
BE Built There.

Speculations the Railroad Which May
lie Built There.
The traffic of the TranS-Saharian rail
way will comprise two classes of bust
ncss-thc first, local, between oasis and
and oasis, or the Saharian traffic
proper; the second, the business be-
tween extreme ends of the line, be-
tween Algeria and Franco and the
central Soudan, says a writer in Scrib-
ner's. Once given railway transporta-
ton, depots and markets will spring up
along the line, for the surveys cross the
lines followed by the caravans that
carry on the commerce of the desert.
The export of cereals from Algeria to
the Touarcgs and to the Au country,
and the export of salt, which is not
found in the Soudan, will give impor-
lance to the salt wells of Amadrhor.
Upon the other hand, it is certain that
a constant stream from the south will
pour into Algeria, bringing chiefly
hides and leather. An estimate of the
yearly income to be derived from the
Saharian business may be put at c.
2G5, 900 flames. Dividing this sum by
the length of the line from Bisl1ra to
Lake Tchad, 3,100 kilometers 1,929
nllcSJ, inc earnings are equal TO 2,UUU
francs per llilometer.
Central Soddan is rich enough tc
furnish a vast commercial business to a
railway in spices, ostrich feathers, gold
dust, indigo, hides, leather, cereals and
fruits, palm oil, cotton, ebony and dye
stutfs. The exports and imports of the
Soudan ought to provide an income OF
1910 francs per l1ilometcr. Finally,
there remains the passenger traffic,
which may be expected to grow into
Importance. In round numbers, I may
say that the trans-Saharian traffic
would result in earnings of about 49,
600 francs per kilometer of line. AS
the construction cost would average
100, 600 francs kilometer, interest at
~ per cent. will require 1850 francs
kilometer. The running expenses OF
one train a day in either direction
be between 5000 and $50 francs per
kilometer per year From financial
standpoint the enterprise, if well man
aged, ought therefore to prove remuner-
ative. This alone, apart from other
considerations, should warrant trans
Saharian railway.

A SOAP EATER.
The Remarkable Appetite Possessed by =
Connections Woman.


l should like to place on record, says
a correspondent of the Medical Record,
the history of the following case of a
mania for soap eating, which, believe,
deserves the coinage of the word sapes-
somania, or mania for eating soap.
Mrs. j, aged twenty-nine, of Dan
bury, Conn, consults me in reference
to an irritable stomach of long stand
ing. She gives the following details:
When about three years of age she first
enjoyed a mouthful of bar soap. So
agreeable was the taste that she would
eat it whenever she could get it..
When aged FIVE years her mother found
her, spoon in hand, eating soft soap
with keen relish. AS she grew in years
SO did her yearning for soap; her father
brought home to the other children
swcctmeats, but to equally satisfy her
piece from common bar soap must be
given. Until she was eleven her sapes-
somania continued. When awake she
loved to handle it and smell of it and
eat of it. When asleep she dreamed Of
soap. Often, to pacify her, a piece of
soap was given to her to hold in her
hand to soothe her to sleep, when she
continued in her imagination still to
eat soap. At eleven her stomach
burned her so that she stopped her
habit, but still continued to love to
handle and to think of eating the great
delicacy. When twcnty-three, or twelve
years after her last feast, an advertis-
ing agent left at her door fve-cent
bar of bathroom soap, which pleased
her so much that she ate it all in TWEEN
ty-four hours. Since then she has
eaten none, although there is always
the desire to do so. To-day, did not her
stomach forbid, the yearning to ''eat
some more" would be irresistible.
Though she can no longer eat it she
still loves to handle it; she loves to use
plenty of it in her homework and in
her bathroom. The smell of it is still
sweet to her nostrils, and the thick
suds she delights in reminds her of the
days gone by never to return. Strange
to say, she cares only for the coarse
bar soap; fancy soaps she never uses.
Personally she is of nervous tempera-
ment, yet evidently a woman of much
self control. She asserts that her
mania is as strong to-day as it was
years ago, though she has tasted soap
but once in eighteen years. Despite
her statement, however, 1 believe she
is still eating the little amount of soap
which her irritable stomach will allow
hon.
