times became better and they start
ed up again, the men were hungry
for work. The consequences have
been that the output has greatly
been in excess of the demand. This
has been the reason for the decrease
in prices. Moreover, since the new
tariff bill went inte effect, the South
has had hard time in competing
with Canada. She is entirely cut off
from the Nozthern demand, because
Canada can ship to Toledo, Chicago,
Detroit, Buffalo and other lake towns
so much cheaper than the railroad
rutes are from Southern points.
A gentleman living in the western
part of this State told me that last
year he sold over S1,OOO,OO0 in lum-
ber to Toledo firm, but that this
year he had not been able to sell
single bill north of Cincinnati, and
this was because eff the free importa-
ton clause in the tariff There will
be great pressure brought to bear
on the next Congress to have this
feature repealed, and so have the old
tax reimposed. Many of the South
ern lumbermen believe that they
will meet with success.
When the tall pines are removed
fran the South the lands will look
desolate. The pines, in addition to
furnishing their native land with
wealth and beauty, have bestowed
health upon the millions. Some ply
sicians hold that the best antiseptic
known to medical science is turpen-
tine, and make the remarkable asser-
tion that there never has occurred
an epidemic near where there was a
pine forest. They attribute the
health of certain sections of the
South to the fact that the pines were
numerous and the resinous air killed
the germs of malaria and other pois,
onous microbes"
The barometer tree of the Isles OF
Chileo is a wonder; the cannibal tree
of Australia a terror; the hedgehog
tree Of Arizona a curiosity; the elec.
trio light tree of the same Territory
a marvel; the baleful scent tree o1
the Colorado desert deadly menace
to be avoided, but the tall yellow
pine of the Southland, SO dear
to the hearts of her people
sends Its resln0us OdOr as sweet as
| the perfumes inhaled by the frs,
lovers of trees who studied Nature
in the. leafy recesses of the Garder
of Eden. A celebrated professo,
once resolved the pine tree, by GER
tain elaborate processes, into almost
the identical properties possessed by
man; that is, if the starch, lime, fat
and sugar are eliminated He de
clared the pine tree to be man ane
a brother; and viewed in this ligh
as claiming relationship, his observa
ton we'll and forcibly explains th'
symbolism Of the brotherhood o
trees.

THE STEPS OF HIM.

My heart Was once content
Where his dear footsteps went,
The tender, little pattering feet
That made my heart a pathway sweet!
But never come his footsteps again,
Save in the echoing of the rain
Save in the blossoms downward sent,
That patter where his footsteps went.
Ny heart was once content
Where his dear feet made merriment,
Where made his arms-so sweet to Sec
A necklace round the neck of me!
But nevermore those arms shall twine
Around this lonely heart of mine,
And yet in dreams feel them near,
And kiss his lips, and hold him dear!

WAITING FOR THE MESSAGE.

Comes a mem'ry. clad like summer.
Lighted by the sunsets glow.

With imagined footprints there; X
And listen-deep enchanted
For the message in the air. U
Where the whispering waters murmuf
When the moon Is DER the sea,
From beyond the midnight's glimmer
Comes that echoing voice to me.
Peacefully the night winds siumber.
Soft, serene, the stars shine bright;

Through the noiseless calm of night.
Where the whisp' ring waters murmur
See! LIES Joyous morning breaks!

And mankind It's burden takes.

For the signal, coming late,
Telling Of the way UP yonder.

over. inside and outside, with pepper ana
salt. Make stuffing OF the following IN
Gradients: One pound of light bread
crumbs. half pound of butter, heap-
ing tablespoonful of finely minced onion,
salt and pepper, one raw egg and enough
water to mix rather soft. Stuff the breast
first. and sew it up, then stuff the body.
Rub the turkey all over with melted but
ter. and dredge well with sifted Hour.
Law it in the pan on its breast, and pour
In n quart of cold water. Have the oven
well heated but not too hot, as the turkey
must cook slowly to be done. Allow
quarter of an hour to each pound. Have
some butter in plate with iaruihs
mon. From time to time basic the turkey
with the gravy in the pan, rub over WIN
the Harding mop and dredge again with

would then plow and Scrape ana MI up

than to dig deep cellar, and 1t wouid
give the house and yard much better
appearance. 1t would be best not 10
ali to the top Of the wall, but have two
or three steps to get down from the
level of the house to the ground, except
at the rear, where the coal, WOOD anu
water are to be carried In, and here the
fill could be made higher, so as TO nave

thanksgiving as 1t Used to Be.


Another Thanksgiving Day is here.
II comes fraught with memories dear
OF home, and friends, and by-gone days,
With all the hallowed olden ways
OF celebrating and giving praise
To Him, the infinite, the good,
Whose bounty's shown In all our food
That fills the larder year by year,
And gladdens hearts, promotes good
cheer.
The observance of this time-honored day
Is Puritanic, so they say,
But Thanksgiving now does not seem
TO me
IA first knew II, or as it used to be.
,Tis strange that we drift so far away
In our observance of this honored day.
The plum buildings, pies, and jelly cake
That our dear mother was wont TO make,
The brown stuffed turkey, with oysters
fine,
Crab-appl cider, home-brewed wine'
Apples crisp, of rosiest hue,
Shellbark. hazel, and walnuts, too;
Thus the menu year after year
Astounding ever with good cheer.
The dance that followed in the night
| Which gave such inexpressible delight
| To each hearty lad and buxom lass
/, The closing hours of the day to pass.
| q JOYOUS day! for which our recollection'
grow
Brighter as each fieeting year departs
And thrills and sets again aglow
Most tender mem'ries In our heart o
hearts.
