The Tragedy of the Barnyary

By the right of ancient custorI and the order of the president this is lamen- tation day--in the barnyard. Elsewhere, perhaps, it is Thanksgiving day, and the selfish world of folks, that spares from the prodigal's joy no pitying thought for the fatted calf, is going to make it a holiday. Blessed little concern is given the tremendous tragedy it brings to poultry. There is rather glory in the slaughter, and the carnival is peculiarly one of death. "The frost is in the pump kin and the fodder is thriftily in shock" throughout this northern farm land this morning. There is a rime upon the shingles of the barn and Q white mist rises from the litter of the stable yard.
 Who would mar this peaceful scene and check this flow of life and joy? The duty has its vandal candidate, and he does so in the name of Thanksgiving. Down from the wall comes the old smoothbore; down its rusty throat go the powder and the shot; down against the stock goes the farmers cheek as he levels his eye along the barrel; down comes the hammer, and-oh, the crime of it!-down comes the gobbler in the pride of his plethoric prime. There is one wild cry and then prodigious futter. This is the drama of the day, and whether it be the block instead of the gunshot it is none the less tragic Chicago News Record.

Hints on Table Manners.

The Rev. Whangdoodle Baxter, of the Austin Bluelight tabernacle, gives the following advice on table etiquette;

 When you am seated at de table you must be like de goat, what ain't par tickler about what he feeds on. When dog growls ober his food yer knows dat he likes hit. When a lady or gen. herman growls ober what dey git ter eat it's vice versy.

The Mercie. Of the Lord.

The recurring season never fails to find the same repeated mercies. We thank God this year for the same bless ings as claimed our praise on last Thanksgiving day. Again and again it is recounted in that book of the Bible which is all psalms of praise how un- failing and repeated is the goodness of God. "The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting" "Thy mercy, O Lord, endureth forever"
 Let this, then, be a day of gladness for all our people, whatever their condi- tion, race or religion. Let rich and poor together praise God today. Let Protest ants and Catholics lift up the voice. of simultaneous thanksgiving. Let this be a national holiday of praise to God, and a day when each shall add to the others joy by gifts and aid and fellowship of praise. New York Independent.

Give Thanks.

What world it is in which, when the great festival of Thanksgiving comes on its yearly round, there is always some thing to be found to be thankful for, even. it would seem, in the case of the most wretchedl
 Are we poor? We might be beggars. Are we beggars? We might be lepers. Are we lepers? Our sickness might be unto death. Is it unto death? We have yet a heaven beyond. For all let us give thanks. Thanks surely if we are in health of body and mind; and even in illness there is much reason and occasion tr be found for grateful heart. Has trouble come to us now1 It might be worse. Are we alone? There is poorer company than ourselves to be had. Hare we lost our dearest and bestS They, at any rate, are not here to suffer. Has the year dealt crushing blows in businessr It has not taken away also our power and will to work. Have we work2 TLen for that and all the rest give thanks again. Give thanks that we live and breathe and have our being in this world of wonder and light and beauty. For, poor and sick and sad though we may be, though
 Other hands may grasp the field and forest,
 Proud proprietors in pomp may shine,
 But with fervent love if thou adorest,
 Thou art weaGhier-all the world is thinel

WAS IT THE MT. WASHINGTON LIGHT!
If So It Was Visible at Sea More Than
 Eight Hundred Miles Distant.

If So It Was Visible at Sea More Than
 Eight Hundred Miles Distant.
 A possible explanation of the curious lights seen in the sky at sea by Captain Findlay, of the steamship Missouri, has been offered The publication of the curious phenomena created much inter est. What the captain saw was this:
 On the evening of Aug. 15, between 9 and 10 o'clock, the ship was in latitude 45 degs. 57 min, longitude g degs. 52 min, when there appeared bright patch in the sky at about 15 degs. altitude, ap. bearing and disappearing at intervals of about thirty seconds, and bearing east half south from the ship. In character it resembled closely the northern lights, and later in the evening the same phe- nomenon appeared in the west south west. On the 17th, in latitude 40 degs. 80 min, longitude 6S degs. 56 min, the phenomenon was again seen in the northwest at an altitude of about 30 degs. and remained visible from l050 until ll:l5 D. m.
 Lewis II. Rogers, of Boston, gives the following interesting explanation of the lights:
 There is large search light on Mount Washington, which was started up on the night of Aug. l3. The nights of Aug. 15 and l7 were clear, and the light was running and being flashed around the heavens between and l :30 o'clock. There is an attachment to the apparatus by which the beam of light is shut off and on at will, thus enabling the operator to make long and short flashes of light, by which method tine Morse or any other understood alphabet is produced.
 On the night of Aug. IT we had the light pointed about 40 degs. over Port land for some time. The words Con gratulations," Mount Washington, "Good night" were flashed and read by an operator on the top of building in Portland, Me. He was not in line of vision with the light, and the beam was far over his head. This beam of light would continue eastward almost indefi- nitely until it struck some cloud or mist in the heavens. Thus the light, or the reflection of the light, might have at diff ferent times appeared to the east, south or north of an observer on the ocean.
 To my mind, therefore, it is an almost assured fact that the light seen by Cap tain Findlay, of the steamship Missouri. emanated from the search light pro- jector, thirty inches in diameter located on the top of the tower on the summit of Mount Washington. Philadelphia Press,

Thanksgiving a Patriotic Festival.

As patriotic festival Thanksgiving does much to foster love of country and feeling of pride in the goodly land which is our national heritage. From sea to sea, through all our borders, we are a Christian people, and we expect to receive the crowding immigrants from foreign shores and make them Chris tian too.
 In the home happy scenes are the rule. Grandparents survey with proud complacency the features of the babies. Only grandparent fully appreciates the rare endowments and wonderful beauty of the second generation. Chil- dren on their part find it difficult to be- ieve that the grandparents who spoil them could ever have said "No" with the readiness and ease with which that monosyllable is uttered by father and mother. Around the table and by the hearth "reminiscences are in order, and the quickly responsive laughter crowns the innocent jest.-Christian at Work.

Don't Forget the Cook.

And who thought about the cook? The cook it was who prepared the feast which tickled the cookies of your heart and made you look at all things through the roseate spectacles which are but an adjunct to well fed stomach. Thanksgiving is a great day for the cook. She can glory over the triumph of her art. She can offer up thanks that the soup was just right, that the turkey was well cooked, that the pudding was grand, and that she, in her humble way, did much to make Thanksgiving day for giving thanks.

Chestnuus Are Plentiful.

Chestnuts ought to be cheap this year, for they are abundant, and never were finer or larger. At present they cost seven dollars bushel in New York The chestnut tree thrives best by the roadside or at the edge of clearings- not so well in thick woods-and its fruit is therefore easy to find. In Sussex county, N. J., the trees are hardly seen, except on narrow slate ridge, half a mile wide, that runs for some miles near ly east and west.-New York Letter

Little Paul's Thanksgiying,

They tossed him and they squeezed him, And they kissed him, one and all; They said, You blessed, blessed boyi" And Darling little Paul." But they didn't give him turkey,
 Nor any pumpkin pie, And when the nuts and grapes went round They slyly passed him by. But he didn't seem to mind it,
 For in the sweetest way He sat and sucked his little thumb, His first Thanksgiving day.

a curious Custom.

In a church on one of the Danish
islands it was the custom of the men on
walking up to the altar and coming
back again to bow at certain spot 10
the women sitting on one side OF the
aisle. No one could tell why. Last
year it so happened that layer of plas-
fer was removed from the wall on the
women's side and picture of the Vlr'
gin Mary was brought to light, which
had evidently been the original cause OF
that reverential custom-a custom which
was continued for a period Of 400 years
long after its significance had been for
gotten.-Vestslesyigs Tidende
