CIDER And PUMPKIN Pies.
How Thanksgiving Day Was OBJ
served at the Pen.
ON THE DATE SET BY The GOVERNOR
Rev. Grannis PleaSes All BY His
Eloquent Sermon.

Thanksgiving Day in prison Is some
thing anomalous. Still, it may be so
ordered that IL is grateful break In the
moUotony of the clnvicts, existence.
Such was the occasion yesterday out 1t
the penitentiary, where by grace OF
Governor Pennoyers proclamation,
and the consideration of Superintend-
ent Downing for the unfortunate Great
ures under his care and dominance,
little relaxation of the rules and really
good dinner made the day one to be
marked with q white feather in the
prisoners calendar.
The ordinary prison bill of fare was
varied to the extent of giving each man
a portion of mutton stew, with white
bread and tea; followed by pumpkin
pie for each and a pannikin of cider.
No diminutive pies, either, or inferior
In material and construction, but gen.
erous, broad, deep layer Of sweetened
and spiced pumpkin custard, shaped in
genuine pastry crust, and carefully
baked, in an oven of proper tempera'
ture. Indeed 1t is doubtful If q better
were borne by any table in Salem.
The cider was new and cold; and the
general effect was one of thankfulness
to the several sources of enjoyment, in
cludingW Berry, and Capt. Dickey,
the prison commissary; who, believing
thai though a man may be criminal
he is not the less human and deserving
of human treatment, do the best they
can for the wretched and the forlorn
they guard.
After the dinner the whole body of
convicts were assembled in the chapel
where service was held by Rev. Gran
mis-, who made al eloquent aud touch
ing discourse on the theme of Human
G G)vernmsnts," basing his remarks on
the admonition of St. Paul to the
church at Rome: "Let everyone be
subject unto the higher powers"-
Epistle to the Romans, chapter
xiii. 1t is difficult thing to preach a
Thanksgiving sermon, or, indeed, any
sermon, to congregation of convicts.
as it requires deal of
diplomacy to tell siu the
truth, and yet make it palat-
able. But the reverend gentleman
evoked from many heart before him
fervent though unspOken response OF
ave thank thee, Oh Lord !" and
"Praise God from whom all blessings
| flow."
There were quite number of visitors
present who betrayed great interest in
the celebration under such gloomy con-
ditlons, and who cast many curious
glances over the $50 faces turned to
ward the preacher, where recognition
of individuals of the common types is
impossible and the subjects are only
distinguishable by stature, color ol
hair, and other physical attributes thai
give no clue nor identity to menta
traits or cause of imprisonment.
The officers and guards, inspired by
the attitude of the superintendent and
warden, gave little more than usual
license to men speaking, and were con-
veniently deaf to little more confusion
than is daily tolerated within the walls
and bars. Not few of the convict'
spoke their thanks and all looked theil
satisfaction with the treatment accord
ed them on Thanksgiving Day, 1898

SERMONS WEAR OUT.

Even Good Ones Had Better Be Burned
After Being Preached 2 Few Times.
''It is a very long time since preached
a written sermon in the pulpit" says
the bishop of London, according to the
Times of that city, ''but when 1 did
preach written sermons. which I did
for a considerable numb of years, I
always used to find that If / had
preached the same sermon in different
places, say, five times, had had enough
of it-whether other people had had
enough of it or not. / became thor
oughly tired of the whole thing, and
was obliged to turn my mind to some
thing altogether different; and 1 have
always advised preachers, after having
preached a discourse a certain number
of times, without laying down how long
they might have been in doing it, to burn
such sermons. am convinced myself
that the best way always is to write
your sermon three times over and then
to burn it and preach what you remem-
Der Of it. But even that will not do
when you give up writing sermons, and
when you come to speaking, not with
out previous preparation, but without
any previous writing of it. It will not do
simply to burn what notes you have
written, because then the words stay in
your mind, and If you have to speak
out, they come whether you want them
or not. They are ready and the occa-
sion seems to present itself, and the
words seem as if they had sort of in
dependent action of their own, and
they say: Here's my place. and out
they come"

IF YOU had stated the name of the

If his name had been given then the

panies could avoid calling on or poster

SHE HEARD MANY VOICES.
Her Ears Were Out of Focus, But Her
Case Was Not Singular.

Her Ears Were Out of Focus, But Her
Case Was Not Singular.
A few days ago well-known teacher
of singing presented herself to physi-
clan, says the Mahogany Tree, and, in
irritated tone of voice, said: Doctor, I
wish you would tell me what ails me.
I hear fifty voices every time anyone
speaks to me-"
The doctor looked at her a moment
and then replied: Madam, you proba-
bly, hear two" ST am sure" persisted
the teacher, that I hear twenty
''Two,' stoically replied the doctor; and
he picked up tuning fork, touched it
and applied it to her ear. ''What note
is that?' he asked. She told him; and
he gave her the same pitch in the other
ear. "And that?" And, behold! it
sounded a minor third lower.
GAS I told you,". said the medicine
man, you are suffering from a de-
preston of the nerves in one ear" To
use homely but significant misappli-
cation Of terms, her ears were out of
focus. The teacher was in great dis
tress. SIT does not hurt, and it does
not show" she complained, ''but I
could better afford to have rheumatic
fever. Did anyone ever have it before?''
The doctor laughed. ''Bless your
heart, madam he said, ''as many as
twenty of the Symphony orchestra men
had the same affection last winter"
Think of the possibilities of the
spread of such a disease! Singers sing
out of tune, players wander from the
pitch, and it may not be their fault.
Their ears may be out of focus. Critics
suffering from the same disastrous
affection may wrongfully accuse per-
formers. All differences of opinion
may be due to this auricular depression.
The humorous possibilities arising from
the existence of such complaint are
very suggestive. It will appear in the
light of boomerang to both artist and
critics.

OLD IN HALF AN HOUR.


AnimaIculse That Live Fifty Generations
in Day.
The ephemerids, tiny-winged insects.
which We're said to be born in the morn
ing, to be in the prime of life at noon,
and to be in extreme old age at sunset,
are put completely in the shade by the
group of aninalcule which DR.. Dallin-
ger has been investigating, and which
he has named saccophytic. So incon-
ceivably small are these creatures that
six million of them could be placed on
the severed end of hair Of medium
thickness.
The function of the group is to play
the part of scavengers. They breed in
dead organic matter, breaking up the
tissue in order to set free the gases and
other elements of which it is composed.
No fiction can be stranger and more
wonderful than the true story Of the life
of these invisible creatures. When
born, by the process of assures from the
parent body, they are tiny specks of
egg-shaped protoplasm. Minute by
minute they grow larger. Then the
bodies are CHARTERED, as it were, by the
appearance of a lengthwise and
crosswise fssure; further assures are
speedily carried diagonally through the
divisions of the cross. Then a third
series of assures is carried through the
diagonals. The next process is kind
of twist, that gives the assures grace
full curve. Last Of all, the body of the
creature breaks up entirely, and each
section between the assures becomes a
complete creature itself, and COM
mences the same round of existence.
The whole of these changes, from the
separation of a new creature from the
parent body till itself breaks up in the
same manner, takes place within half
an hour

Justice Lamar Dead.

Justice Lamar died at Macon, Ga,
on the Odd inst. Thus another OF
Americas great men has passed away.
He was a life long democrat, and
through his personal integrity and
great strength of character be gained
friends and admirers regardless of
politics.
L.. c.. Lamar was born in Putnam
county, Georgia, Sept. 1, 1928. He was
taken to Oxford, Miss, where he re-
ceived part of his education. He grad
uated at Emory college in 1S45, and
studied law in Macon and was admitted
to the bar in 1915 Ia 1S49 he retained
to Oxford, and for year held a profess
sorship in the university of Missippf.
He resigned his professorship to resume
the practice Of law at COvington, Ga.
He was elected to the legislature in
1853 and 1854, and shortly afterwards
was elected to congress as democrat.
He served from 1867 until 1850, when
he resigned to take seat in the seces-
cast his fortunes with the lost cause''
and left the army with the rank OF
colonel, after having shared his many
engagements. He was elected to the
senate on March 5, 1877. In March
1885, President Cleveland appointed
Mr. Lamar secretary Of the interior
and afterwards elevated him to seat
on the supreme bench.

Concerning Cheap Gold.

With the progress of science gold
grows cheaper. New discoveries and
inventions enable the searchers after
the yellow metal to obtain it with
greater ease and at less cost. AS
natural result, the purchasing power of
gold follows very closely the average
cost Of production, and this explains
why it is cheaper now than in past
centuries when mining was both crude
and costly.
These reflections are of special in
terest just now, if there is any truth
in the report that large quantities of
gold are being produced in Nova Scotia
at cost of only one-ffteenth of its
selling value. Now, suppose this sort
of thing continues, and the mines of
Australia, Africa, South America,
California, Mexico and Georgia turn
out gold on the Nova Scotia basis?
The supposition is by no means highly
improbable. Of course iJ is plain that
when gold production is not only abun-
dant but cheap, the metal will decline
in value even to a greater extent than
in the past. When we reach this point,
as we may in the near future. the single
standard dreamers will see their system
of finance rudely shattered. This is no
idle, speculative view. Gold has many
times in the past suddenly declined in
value, and we may expect history to re-
peat itself. Now, when we consider
the fact that a nations currency is not
the transient thing of day. but should
have proper degree of stability, it will
be seen that it is not safe to pin our
own faith to single standard. Nor
will two metals do. we need gold :,
silver, copper and paper in order to
have a currency reasonably expansive
and yet stable. We cannot afford to
stake our whole financial system upon
the possibilities of single metal
