THANKSGIVING rAy.

Thanksgiving has been called the
American Christmas, but II is of quite
different origin and pIrpose. 1t is not
a religious festival connected with any
incident in the history OF the church,
although there are appropriate re-
ligious obseryanees, but II is day Of
Thanksgiving for a successful year.
for bountiful crops and general pros
pertiy. 1t comes when all the harvests
have been garnered, when the farmer
can return thanks that he had done SO
well, and that there is enough for him
and his family and all those depend
ent on him through the winter. In
the early days OF the pilgrims, from
whom we borrowed the holiday, this
was not always the case, and many
were the winters when Thanksgiving
day could not be celebrated, when the
people went hungry and when famine
and disease stalked through the land.

kin cautiously opened the kitchen
door. finding his wife kneeling by the
stove.
Isn't the turkey done yet" he
hazarded, they are all little i'm
patient. Mother says, though, she
never knew anyone before who could
cook big dinner with no odor in the
house
"Alpheus, that turkey will never be
donet
"rhe man said il was tender"
II know, but but forgot to light
any fire in the stove
That Thanksgiving day was memoir
able in the annals of the Lambkin
family as the one on which they dined
upon cheese, crackers and cranberry
jelly. From that day also dated his
mothers habit of referring to her son
as poor Alpheus."

SHARE YOUR Joy WITH OTHERS

The pilgrim tolonists shared the
first Thanksgiving feast with Massa-
soft and his ninety Indians. We should
invite to ours not only those near and
dear to us, but some of those others
who would eat it in solitude If we did
not remember them. To many minds
this will seem an almost unjustifiable
sacrifice of the coziness of the family
party. The blessedness Of giving and
of giving something more shan Of our
material substance will compensate
for it. Those who have never known
what it is to be alone in the world or
even temporarily divided from their
own kindred cannot conceive what it
is to the solitary ones to be welcomed
into a home. A far more substantial
benefit would not give 1.-THE of the
pleasure that is felt when its doors un-
close to them. Exchange.

BE TRULY THANKFUL.

Thanksgiving has mellowed and be-
come true home festival, an occasion
of family reunion and friendly greet
ing. Absent children come home from
long distances to sit around the family
table once a year. Near relatives and
old friends join the gathering, and the
-eung people, their enthusiasm stirred
by the turkey and pumpkin pies, enter
into the games and frolics with zest
that belongs to no other day OF the
whole year One who Is not thankful
on that day must be unhappy indeed.
But il need not be wholly jubilee for
ourselves. AS far as possible, within
the scope of our means and influence,
.te should try TO make 1t day CT
real thanksgiving and happiness fer
others less fortunately situated. By
abundant kindness, love, charity, gem
crosby and hospitality, then, no less
less than by feasting, let us demon
strate the joyful gratitude we feel in
our own hearts and thus render to our
loving Father above the best of all
Thanksgiving offerings. Christian
Herald.

no nicer way of cooking them than
broiled on toast. Charge your mind
with current jelly for this course.
THE sweet OF the dinner makes a
break. and, though there are many
things to choose from. perhaps moth
ing suits the eternal fitness of things
better than Roman punch.
Salmon salad, with the addition OF
tIuffles and capers. looks very pretty
on its bed OF crisp lettuce. Make
your mayonnaise quite thick and
keep 1t on the ice until just ready to
use. If you have a convenient place
the whole salad can be put on the
plates it is TO be served on and set
out of doors for half hour. This
adds greatly to the freshness.
THE adornments and relishes on
the table are wholly matter Of taste
and layishness. There are bon bons.
candied fruits, not forgetting cher
ries, chocolates and sailed almonds,
which always hold their own, though
olives press them very closely.
'Mince pies are essentially
Thanksgiving dessert, and they are
only good when rich from the COM
bination of 'supar and spice and
everything nice A wise house
keeper takes thought for them early
in the season, and saves all
the remains Of preserves and syrup
or the lees of the wine not quite clear
for drinking. Everything helps. The
pastry for mince pie should be almost
puff paste. Give small piece but
have 1t fine
plum pudding has the great advan
tage of requiring very little care after
once made, You only need to keep
the kettle beside it full of water and
fill your pot as the water boils down.
Take three-quarters of pound OF
bread crumbs, three-quarters of a
pound of suet chopped fine. three
quarters of a pound of currants, three
quarters OF pound of well-chopped
apple, one grated nutmeg, two ounces
of candied lemon peel, the rinl and
juice of one lemon and two ounces Of
candied orange peel citron will do,
though not so well.
Boil five hours and eat with wine
sauce Pour brandy over it immedi-
ately on its arrival at the table, Set
it on fire, and, if you like 1t strong,
add the brandy to your taste. If you
use wine you will need no advice as
to its serving. Almonds, raisins and
fruit form very social part of the
dinner"

A MEMORABLE DINNER.

1t was Thanksgiving, and the first
time that joyous occasion had fallen
since young Mrs. Lambkin had ac-
quired her matronly title. All the rel
atiyes on both sides Of the house had
been invited to dine with the young
pair, and all had accepted. Conse-
quently, II was unfortunate that the
cook had, that morning, decided that
she couldn't abide no such doings"
and taken a triumphant leave.
Mrs. Lambkin eat weeping among
the unwashed breakfast dishes when
her husband appeared, staggering un-
der a market basket laden with holi
day fare.
"0h, Alpheus, my heart Is brokenw
she walled. What will your mother
say"
But, you know, you have been so
proud of your cookery; doubtless you
can prepare dinner yourself"

"Alpheus, is your mother the woman
to overlook her daughter-in-law's mis-
takes?p And Alpheus was silent.

colonial DANES, who prided themselves
upon their cookery. In regard to this
dish this is what they were taught by

allspice and one-quarter of teaspoon
full of mace. and cover all with a little
onion juice. Into the bottom OF the
pan put a sprig of celery, two bay
leaves and slice OF onion. Put cup

water to make paste, cover the ham
with the paste as far down as the
skin and then turn into the pan two
quarts Of cider. Put in hot oven and
cook for three and one-half hours,

cooked take off the crust, turn over

About the Thanksgiving dinner of
today every housewife has her own
recipe for cooking the turkey, and adj
vice on that particular subject would
be superfiuous There are many other
little things, however, which at this
time of the year it would be we'll TO
recall, and If the suggestions made
here are adopted good dinner should
be the result. Here is what chef of
one of the leading hotels advises for a
family in moderately well-to-do cir
cumstances:
First, the grape fruit, and in its
present state of perfection it is simply
sherry bitters, with the additional zest
of being more sociable taken at the
table, the slightly bitter flavor of the
grape fruit blending naturally with
the wine and Angostura. Then the
oysters on the half shell, small and
cold, only five or six, leading by easy
stages up to the more solid food.
Nothing could be more delicious than
the fish now presented to you. If had
dock are large enough one weighing
five or six pounds will do; If that is
not obtainable, take solid piece of
halibut weighing about five pounds.
To have this nice you simply must
look to it yourself, and your part can
easily be attended to in the morning.

EARLY THANKSGIVING DAYS.

The first recorded Thanksgiving
was the Hebrew feast of the taber-
nacles.
There have been but two English
THANKSGIVING in this century. One
was on Feb. ~, 1872, for the recovery
Of the Prince of Wales from Illness;
the other, June 81, 1887, for the
queens jubilee.
fhe New England Thanksgiving
dates from 1893, when the Massachus-
etts Bay colony set apart day for
thanksgiving.
The first national Thanksgiving pro-
CARNATIONS were by congress during
the Revolutionary war.
The first American Thanksgiving
day vas in 1854 for the declaration Of
peace There was one more national
THANKSGIVING in 1889. and no other till

national proclamation for a day Of
