Early in the month the housekeeper
engages her turkey, and for days there
have been busy preparations for the
joyful feast and home gathering of the
year.
Roast turkey, cranberry suace, eel
cry, with the usual vegetables is the
popular menu. With, of course, the
usual mince pies, indian pudding and
the never-to. be-omitted plum pudding.
But the feast is not all of the festival,
and the best of Thanksgiv;ngs is
mingled with thank offerings. The
housewife, as much as any other, has
the opportunity to make glad other
hearts and homes less favored than her
own, ,and being both generous and good,
like the harvest of the year, bestows
ber gifts upon all who are within reach
of her bounty.
"To be happy at home is the intimate
result of all ambition: the end to which
every enterprise and labor tends and of
which every desire promps the prosecu.

Fruit cake-The following receipt
was sent to the Newly York Herald by
descendent of lady who, hundred
years ago, served it at her first Thanks
giving dinner:
Beat together until creamed pound
of butter and one of sugar; add ten
eggs, yelk and white beaten separately,
one bound of -four, one pound of citron
chopped or shredded and Toured, five
pounds of raisins, stoned and Toured,
and three pounds of currents, picked
washed, dried aud Toured. After these
are all we'll mixed, add half a teacupfu
of molassas and a gill of brandy, or Of
milk if you object to using brandy-and

without it. 1t is best to add spices to
suit the taste.
1t may be baked in one or two loaves
in the following manner: Put three
bricks into the oven and let them re-
main until dried and heated through;
stand the cake pans on these, place pans
around the sides and back, and perfor-
ated pan over the top: bake three hours.

The Democrats acknowledge that
they are afraid to submit their tariff
bill to Democratic caucus. Those in
charge of the bill say that it would
certainly be cut all to pieces if it went
before caucus, and that they prefer
to rely upon the power of Mr.. CIeve-
land, whose ideas the bill fully repre-
sents, to force the bill through Con-
gress and silence the Democratic oppo-
sition thereto. Much depends upon
the character of the bill, which will
presumably be made public this week
or next, as to whether it can be forced
through Congress.

show of feeling. "Kate and will do
the right thing. Molly will have the

"And all the consolation can give
her." added Mrs. Barker. "You know
how love you, dear Molly. We shall
see each other often. I shall be with
you every day for few hours, which
we shall devote 20 John"
"Ah, yes, Kate" replied her cousin,
''he'll never be out of my thoughts"

"All right, Harry" cried Allaire; "set

The mate turned away 10 execute
these orders, which pointed 10 an inn

"Mr. Hollister," said Allaire, "the
ships launch will take you and my wife
and her relatives back TO the wharf
whenever you're ready"
I'm all ready. John" answered the
merchant "once more good-by and
good luck"
"Good-by, good luck" cried the 9TH
ladder 10 boats waiting for them.
"Good-by, Lew, good-by, Kate"
cried John, extending his hand 10 them.
"Good-by, good-byl" cried Mrs Bar
ker.
Come, my dear Molly, I'll go with
you TO the gangway," sad Allaire.
"The Dreadnaught has caught the
breeze already. She's moving"
Molly's heart was too full for words.
She walked in silence by her husband
and upon coming 10 the ships sids
could only sink upon his breast a. nv
clasped her tenderly in a last embrace.
And then little Walt, whom Molly
had taken from the nurse. stretched
out his arms 10 his father, shook his

asms Its cheeks were wet with them
Molly" he murmured. "good-by'
rood-by"
Then turning quickly away to hide
MS emotion, he cried out in a tone OF
command: "Cast off,
In a moment after the boat was
pushed off and headed for the wharf
where its passengers were landed.
Captain John gave himself up COM
pletely to the work of getting his ship
under way. The anchor had nearly
reached the hawsehole, and the Dread
naught, freed from every drag, caught
the wind in her sails, the folds OF
which were Tapping violently. The
jib had been set and caused the vessel
to luff little. This maneuver gave
the Dreadnaught little more swing,
SO as to steer clear of several vessels
anchored at the mouth of the harbor.
Capt Allaire then ordered the main
and fore sail TO be hoisted, which was
done with an ease and rapidity that did
credit TO the crew. The Dreadnaught
now caught the wind on the starboard
quarter, and took the direction of the
oifing in such a way as not to be
obliged TO change her tack.
An admiring crowd still fingered on
the wharf intently watching the ship,
which seemed almost coquettishly to
display her graceful outlines as she
careened gently under the increasing
pressure of canvas. During these man
euvers she passed within half cables
length of the wharf where Mr.. Hollister
and Molly and Lew Barker and his wife
were standing. In this way the young
captain was enabled 10 see his wife, her
relatives and his friends once more, and
20 shout a last adieu 10 them. Every
voice answered the greeting, every
hand was waved in response to Allaire's
salutation.
"Good-by, good-by!" he cried.
Cheer after cheer went up from the
assembled multitude, while countless
handkerchiefs like one vast white cloud
hung trembling over their heads.
The fact is, Capt. John Allaire was n
universal favorite and his native city
was proud of the eminence he had at
tained, and few were there in the vast
crowd who did not secretly resolve to be
on the wharf ready to welcome him
home again when the Dreadnaught
should make her appearance outside the
bay.
AS the Dreadnaught neared the mouth
of the harbor she was obliged to luff to
avoid large mail steamer which was
just entering the narrows. The two
vessels saluted each other by dipping
their colors.
Still standing on the wharf, Mrs.
Allaire kept her gaze riveted upon the
Dreadnaught, which gradually disap-
peared, running before the fresh north
cast breeze. She did not wish to lose
sight of the ships SO long rs her masts
were visible above Point island. But
the Dreadnaught soon passed around
behind the Coronado islands situated
outside the bay. For n moment only
she caught glimpse through break
in the cliffs of the pennant flying at the
head of the top mast, and then the
ship disappeared.
''Good-by. dear John, good-byr' she
murmured.
Why was IL that a presentimcnt as
dread as it was inexplicable prevented
her from adding: Till we meet again'"

Good living

man walks, he will stay poor. His
prosperity begins when he rides,

a good watch. A "poor" watch is
the very badge of poverty, worse
than none; but either condition is
too expensive for poor man: he
cart afford to lose the time OF day.
Keeping that under his thumb, he
may yet be wealthy. Then comes

simply to allude to that part Of ga Parents

now is, the leading school in this town.
Though Excelsior is my motto, and a
good school my ideal, yet there are several
conditions upon which the true success Of a
good school depends. It is not sufficient,
though absolutely Indispensable, that the
teacher be a good disciplinarian, a keen or
ganiser, a good educator, or in short a school
man, in its ~striotcst application-he must
