lieature too tight, as the second wire
should be movable. This latter should
also be finished with a small ring or
loop for convenience of handling. Now
holding the ring of the axis in the left
hand, and that Of the second wire in the
right, push the latter forward, and you
will see the spiral open and lcngthen
itself, as in the second position illus
trated. But il before doing this you
plunge the spiral into Il bowl containing
soapy water, and then gently push on
the small ring, you will see each spiral
decked in frail soap bubble reproduce
ing exactly the surface of n perfect
spiral and rejecting the most beauti-
ful colors. The spiral may be worked
back and forth without injury to the
soapy membrane. The effect is both
curious and pretty.-Once Week.

a Homo Festlynl.

Thanksgiving should be Home Fes-
tival as well as season of praise and
prayer. There is nothing at all incon-
gruous in such 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 better people and better ma
ton.
LctThanksgiving be then home day
u day consecrated to the service Of God
and to the furtherancc of domestic hap
piness and family joy. Let it be 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 reliindle the sympa-
thics and affections which time and
distance often deaden and make cold.--

THE PURITAN THANKSGIVING.


A Story of Uncomplaining Fortitude, spie-u
did Faith and Undauntcd Heroisn.
In what perjury, what hardship, what
sense of exile, what darkness of bereave-
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 faltering, for splendid
faith and undaunted heroism, that
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 while
they lived. Theirs was the underlying
might of a 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 far-away days. The
harvestswere reaped; the churches and
the school-houses were built; the chill
dren were brought up in the fear Of
God. In the cold mceting-house on
the top of the nearest hill there had
been long service, prayers, psalms,
sermons, all of q 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, or of Holland by the sea.
Many trothplight was spoken in
the twilight of Thanksgiving day.
Youths and maidens 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 1t seemed not so to me,
For he spake of Ruth tho beautiful.
And then thought Of thee"
After all, the world changes little In
essentials rs time passes. The girl
will wear her blue or her orange few
days later this year, but on Thanksgiv-
ing day, as on all days, her lover will find
his sunshine in her eyes, and her favor
will be his highest incentive to manli-
ness and nobility.-Harper's Bazaar.

a curious feature in natural history
is the favor bestowed upon the croco-

through removing certain parasitic

Hcrodptus writes that the bird and
anima1sare on the most amicable terms,
the former entering the latter's mouth
and walking about with the greatest
confidence. The gentlemen of the
Smithsonian institution, however, are
disinclined to accept this belief, but
think the crocodile bird stands at u
safe distance, extracting the leeches
by thrusting it's head into the animal s
mouth and again removing it before the
crocodile can close it's jaws.
The saurian during the performance
lies lazily summing itself on the bank,
with jaws wide open and seeming to
relish the relief which it obtains. 1t is
not to be believed, however, that the
crocodile's sense of obligation for the
Invaluable services rendered it would

Thank God for the glorious gift OF life,
And this beautiful world OF ours.
With its shimmering seas. and wavin
trees,
It's frost. and dew and flowers:
For radiant moons and tranquil Junes,
For sunshine and for rain;
For pearly dawns and crystal morns,
For mountain, mead and plain.
Thank God for treasures that He gives
From earth and tree and vine:
For golden yields from fertile fields,
For flax and wool and vino:
For healthful roots; for ruddy fruits;
For Plenty's laden horn;
For flocks and herds. for bees and birds,
Give thanks this festive morn.
Give thanks for reunited bands,
For hearth and home and health:
For faith and love, so sure to prove
Sweeter than fame or wealth:
For hopes that bless. for lips caress.
For counsel and for cheer,
Give thanks upon this morn that brings
The feast of all the year.

hold the wire when it protrudes from

Put some cakes for travelling
Beneath the wagon seat;

We're going home to fathers house
For Thanksgiving day.
So oft we've lived the journey Ger
With the welcome at the end
Sweet mothers kisses on our cheek,
And the hand-clasp of each friend:
And many time the little ones
Have travelled in their play
"All the way to grandpa's house
For Thanksgiving day."
The dear home fields have yielded up
Their grasses and their grain;
The bins and barns are running DER
From orchard and from plain:
And with the rich years discipline.
It's hours of work and play,
Some fairer things are harvested
For Thanksgiving day.
Our arms, so full Of blessedness
The years have helped US win.
Have opened wide enough to let
A little stranger in.
For the first time two little feet.
From angel-land astray,

With plans of goodly fare,
And mothers look and mothers voice

And to neighbor dropping in
She pauses just to say:
