Thanksgiving should be a Home Fes-
tival as well as Il season of praise and
prayer. There is nothing at all incon-
gruous in such a dual observance. In
the home is the hope of the nation, and
everything which tends to the sweeten-
ing of it's atmosphere, the strengthen
ing of it's ties, the pcrpetuation of its
influence, or the deepening of the affec-
ton of it's members, deserves recogni-
ton and encouragement. Better homes
mean n better people and n better ma
ton.
LetThanksgiving be then a homcday
u day consecrated to the service Of God
and to the furthcrance of domestic hap
piness and family joy. Let it be Il time
for calling in all the loved ones, all the
wanderers from the old hearthstone,
to renew again the tender memories Of
earlier days, and to rekindle the sympa-
thies and affections which time ant
distance often deaden and make cold
Christian Work.

TABLE HINTS FOR CHILDREN.
Some Suggestions As to the Most Becom-
ing Conduct.

Some Suggestions as to the Most Becom-
ing Conduct.
In talking at the table. if the COM
pany is large, you will usually converse
more with you neighbor than with the
circle as a whole. But at home and in
the family, or at the house of an in
innate friend, you unjust do your share
of the entertainment. Save up the
speech, the funny sayings of a child,
the scrap of news in your Aunt Mary's
last letter, and when a good opportu-
nifty offers, add your mite to the gem
eral fund of amusement.
There are dear old gentlemen-and
old ladies, too-who have favorite
stories which they are rather fond of
telling. People in their own families,
or among their very intimate acquaint-
ances, hear these stories more than
once-indeed, they sometimes hear
them until they become svery familiar.
Good forbid any showing of
this, n look of ilnpatience or
appearance of boredom on the
part of the listener. The really
well-bred woman or girl listens to
the thrice-told tale, the weli-worn an
ecdote, says a pleasant word, smiles,
forgets that she has heard it before,
and does not allow the dear raconteur
to fancy that the story is being
brought ont too often. Good
at the table are inflexible on this
point. You must appear pleased. You
must make up your mind to receive
qualification by imparting it.
Once in awhile an accident happens
at u meal. y cup is overturned; some
unhappy person swallows 1.-THE wrong
way;" somebody makes a mistake
Look at your plate at such a moment,
and nowhere else, unless you can suf-
ficiently control your face and appear
entirely unconscious hat anything
has occurred out of the usual routine.
Take no notice, and go on with the
conversation, and in a second the incl
dent will have been forgotten by every
one.-Harper's Round Table.

Steamed Apples: Select nice, sweet
apples; wash and place them in a pan;
urn n little water in the pan and
stew; one-half cup sugar over as many
apples as will cover the bottom of the
pan; then cover with another pan and

stew the juice down and turn it over
the apples. They are much nicer than
when baked. Farmers Voice.
Sally Lunn: One quart of -four,
one-half pint of milk, n gill yeast,
two ounces of butter. two tablespoon
fuls of white sugar and a teaspoonful
of salt; beat eggs very light; mix all

THE PURITAN THANKSGIVING,
\ Story of accomplishing F~ortitude. Sple-u
did Enith and Cndaunted HeroIsm.

\ Story of accomplishing Fortitude, Sple-u
did Faith and Undaunted Heroism.
II what perjury, what hardship, what
sense Of exile, whatdarkness of bcreave-
ment, what dependence upon the Di-
vine hand and gratitude for its bounty,
were the earliest Thanksgivings kept,
The story of the Plymouth colony can
never be too often recalled by Amer
leans. For accomplishing fortitude,
for sturdy endurance, for strength
that knew no faitering, for splendid
faith and undaunted heroism, hat
story has no equal on the page of his
tory. Many delicate women died in
those first years, but we never read
that they weakened in courage Will
they lived. Theirs was the underlying
might of Il purpose which had its root
in principles; and, whoever may celc-
brate the Pilgrim Fathers, women
should forever keep green the memory
of the heroic Pilgrim Mothers.
We like to think of the groups which
assembled at those Puritan dinner
tables in those PARKWAY days. The
harvests were reaped; the churches ana
the school-houseS were built; the chill
dren were brought up in the fear Of
God. In the cold Westinghouse on
the top of the nearest hill there had
been a long service, prayers, psalms,
sermons, all OF a generous prodigality
of time to which we in our religious
services of to-day are strangers. Then
came the unbending. the lavish dinner,
the frolic of the little ones, the talk be-
side the fire, when the parents drew
upon the "reminiscences of fair Eng.
land, OF of Holland by the sea.
Many a trothplight was spoken in
the twilight of Thanksgiving day.
Youths and maidcns then, as youths
and maidens still, met and fell in love.
The beautiful story which never grows
old was told by the ardent sutton to
the blushing girl in the Puritan home
as in our households yet.
Long was the good mans sermon,
But it seemed not so to me,
For he spake of Ruth the beautiful,
And then l thought of thee"
After all, the world changes little in
essentials rs time PASSES. The girl
will wear her blue or her orange a few
days later this year, but on Thanksgiv-
ing day. as on all days, her loverwill find
his sunshine in her eyes, and her favor
will be his highest incentive to manli-
ness and nobility.-Harper's Bazaar.

For sunshine and for rain:
Fer pear!y dawns and crystal morrs,
Fer mountain, mead and plain.

From earth and tree and vine:
For golden yields from fertile fields,
For flax and wool and wine:
For healthful roots: for rudy fruits;
For Plenty's laden horn:
For locks and herds. for bees and birds.
Give thanks this festive morn.
