Thanksgiving Dishes Abroad.

A few years ago one of the diplo.
matte corps in Paris complimented
some American visitors by giving o
Thanksgiving dinner. He made some
elaborate reseaches regarding our Ma.
tional customs as applied to the day,
and with the help of his chef offered
among other things baked beans we'll
thinned with custard and frozen. The
crowning glory of tho feast was u
pumpkin pie. It's crust wls shingly
puffed paste fully an inch thick. The
pumpkin was merely filmy glaze
upon the paste, with a taffy like con-
sistency that made it cling to the eat
er's teeth.
The chef must have impaired the
secret of the National pie, at least in
part to Others of his craft, for little
later we'll known restaurater an.
nounced on little placard at his es.
tablishment: ''Bounkin pie rAmer.
icaine."
In Berlin the traveller will find, il
he is there In November, an addition
to the menu at some places of refresh
ment. The addition is a Hourishing
announcement to Americans that In
dian puddings, bean puddings, pump
kin tarts and other delicacies, which
the waiter will affably say are for the
American thanksgiving" but which
only resemble the originals they i'm.
itate as the mist resembles the rain.

selves upon catering to American Gus.

A few late roses linger and smiling deck the

And the world Is like n picture whero the

There's greater Joy In living--for no bless
ing He denies.
And the soul's divine thanksgiving drifts In
incense TO the skies
Through tho darkness and the danger
through tho peril OF the past
To the starred and stormless haven He has
led our ships at last,
Aud with richest treasures laden we have
furled the flag above,
For the garands OF His glory and the ban
ners OF His love
Sing sweet thy sweet Thanksgiving, O,soul
and ring ye bells,
Till the world shall catch the chorus and the
anthem heavenwnrd swells
For His love and for His mercy-for His
cross and Christening rod,
For His tender benedictions, let the whole
world thank its God

A Colonial Thanksgiving.

An old Colonial Thanksgiving church
service and dinner was written in the
year 1714 by the Rev. Lawrence Con-
ant, of the old South Parish, in Dam
vers, Mass, and runs thus:
''Ye Governors was in ye house and
Her Majesty's commissioners of We
customs, and they sat together in
high seat of ye pulpit stairs. Ye Gov.
ernor appeared very devout and at
tentive, although he favors Episcopacy
and tolerates ye Quakers and Baptists.
"He was dressed in black velvet
coat, bordered with gold lace. and
stuffed breeches with gold buckles at
ye knees, and white silk stockings.
'"There was disturbance in We gal.
leries, where il was filled with divers
negroes, mulattoes and Indians, and a
negro called Pomp Shorter, belonging
TO Mr.. Gardner, was called forth and
put in ye broad isle, where he was re.
proved with great carefulness and
solemnity.
''He was then put in We deacons
seat between two deacons, in view OF
ye whole congregation; but ye sexton
was ordered by Mr.. Prescott to take
him out, because Of his levity and
| strange contortion OF countenance
| giving grave scandal to ye grave
deacons), and put him in ye lobby un.
der ye staire; some children and q
mulatto woman we're reprimanded for
laughing at Pomp Shorter.
"When ye services at ye meeting
house were ended ye council and other
dignitaries were entertained at We
house of Mr.. Epes, on ye hill near by,
and we had bountiful Thanksgiving
dinner with bears meat and venison,
the last OF which was q fine buck, shot
in ye woods near by. Ye bear was
killed In Lynn woods near Read.

after ye blessing was cravnd by
MIR. Garrich, of Wrentham, word came
that We buck was shot on ye Lords
day by Pequot, an Indian, who came
to MIR. Epes with lye in his mouth
like Ansnias of old.
"fe council therefore refused to eat
ye venison, but it was afterward de.
cided that Pequot should receive forty
