DIR. Turkey Cock.

The sleekest, latest turkey strutted In
and out among
His fellows Of the barnyard as he spoke
with scornful tongue;
GAm 1 not the farmers favori;e, the one
he feeds the best?n
And this air betrayed the proud contempt
he felt for all the rest
Said the ancient lean and hungry-lookiny
Dr. Turkey Cock
The oracle. adviser and physician OF the
flock:
sOvereating isn't healthful; it affects a
fellows head.
But not silly turkey caught the drift of
what he said
al have often noticed this, my friends he
said with knowing leer,
"That fasting Is profit at the present
time of year,
For November is a month In which, IL one
is overfed.
One may suffer from excitement till at
last he'll lose his head
Still the fat and naughty turkey strutted
up and down the place,
And the others thought the Doctor didn't
understand the case
But they will see. before the SUN has set
upon Thanksgiving,
That the D )ctor knows a thing or to about
the art OF living.

Egyptian Geometry.

The Ahmes papyrus doubtless rep
resents the most advanced attain
ments of the Egyptians in arithmetic
and geometry. 1t is remarkable that
they should have reached so great
proficiency in mathematics at so re-
mote period OF antiquity. But
strange indeed, is the fact that, dur
Ing the next ,, 900 years they should
have made no progress whatsoever in
it.
All the knowledge of geometry
which they possessed when Greek
scholars visited them. six centuries
b. c., was doubtless known to them
1000 years earlier, when they built
those stupendOus and giganti struct-
ureS the pyramids. An explanation
for this stagnatiOn of learning has
been sought in the IA t that their
early discoveries in mathematics ana
medicine had the misfortune oHbeing
entered upon their sacred books, and
that, in after years, it was considered
heretical TO augment or modify any
thing therein. Thus the books them
selves closed the gates to progress. =

How do yOI know what IS In the
ship" 1 a,ked.
Because we know what to send for
to be the most use in our dealings with
the Indians. Monev. such as was use
in England, is of no use here. The In
dians want something TO make show,
and beads are better than golden
guineas here. There are seed, for the
spring, and warm clothes for the win
ter, and food and farming tools in the
ship, and gunpowder and balls and
guns, said the best shot. "In truth,
this ship brings us the means of living
till we can raise next summers crop.
The preacher was right there could
not be greater cause for Thanksgiving.
The Indians had come near by this
time. They are uncOmmonly far sight
ed, and the ship was great curiosity
to them.
The best shot understood their lam
guage, and as the Indians wanted very
much to go on board the wonderful
ship they were only too glad to talk
on friendly footing. Some were
taken down to the shore y a few OF
our colony, hut it was thought wiser
for US to stay guarding the back of the
settlement, for the trea .hery of the
Indians was very well known. | be-

home Everybody was excited every
one was reading let ers from England
or unpacking sto es sent by rel .tives
and friends. The Indians men, women,
and children, watched with intense in
tere5t and quiet demeanor.
When my mother opened the case of
blankets which was marked "Mrs.
Bradford" she picked out a red blan-
ket AMI gave it to the Indian sauaw
who had taught her cook the pump
kin.
The Indians were much pleased with
the sight of the blanket which the
squaw Immediately put around her
like a cloak.
Night came and STOPPED the unload
ing, but not the necessity of guarding
all the possessions from the ntians.
Some new guns struck the Red Men
with awe at the Palefaces' power. and
they never knew how destitute the

Beauty from a Paper Toy.

For the woman who wants TO fill
out the hollOws Of her face and ne k
aud wants Pink cheeks, a good idea
is to buy some of those pretty paper
fishes or odd-shaped little bags to be
found in the japanese shops. If a
woman will spend five minutes a
day pulling at one of these she will
find her face filling out. and the air
which will be driven i'm and out ot
her lungs will increase the height Of
her chest and set the blood in circu-
laIion through the face, bringing a
faint pinkish tinge to her cheeks 1t
will not be so pink as the kind that is
bought in the drug -stores. but the
woman will be surprised in six
months at the change in her looks
