Sabbath Day Houses.

Sabbath Day Houses.
On Thanksgiving and on all other
feast and fast days, as we'll as on the
Sabbath, there were held two services
morning and afternoon-each OF some
bours' duration, and for places of rest
and refreshment during the noon inter
mission between them there were erect
ed in the immediate vicinity of the
meeting house, for the accommodation
of distant worshipers, small buildings
called "Sabbath day houses. F" These
structures were usually built and held
in partnership by two families and con-
sisted of two rooms some 10 or 10 feet
square, with a chimney between them,
having fireplace in each apartment
On Thanksgiving morning bounti-
full supply of good cheer was slowed
away in the wagon or sleigh that was
to convey household to meeting" !"
Arriving in the vicinity of the sacred
edifice the "Sabbath day house" was
first visited and the provisions deposit
ed there. A fire was then lighted and
soon all were thoroughly thawed out
and well warmed after their long, cold
ride. At 9 o'clock, the hour for wor-
ship, they were ready to sally forth and
shiver in the cold during the three
hour morning service, for the meeting
houses" or churches of those days were
wholly unwarmed by artificial heat Of
any kind. As consequence the minis

The Dark Days of the Revolution.

The year 1880 was perhaps the dark
est in the Revolutionary war. The army
began to mutiny, desertions were fre-
quent, and Benedict Arnold sold himself
to the enemy. On Oct. Is congress set
aside Thursday, Dec. Z, as day for ma
tional thanksgiving, because sit hath
pleased Almighty God, the father of all
mercies, amid the vicissitudes and ca
lamities Of war, to bestow blessings on
the people of these states, which call
for their devout and thankful acknowl-
edgments, more especially in the late
remarkable interposition of his watchful
providence in rescuing the person OF
our commander in chief and the army
from imminent dangers at the moment
when treason was ripening for execu-
tion."
This is followed by the usual allusion
to the labors of the farmer and prayer
to God ''to take our illustrious ally un-
der his special protection and favor our
joint councils and exertions for the es-
tablishment Of speedy and permanent
peace. New York Post.

Let Us Give Thanks.

The goldenrod, in wind blown sheaves. stooo
bright
Upon the hill In golden summer days;
The fragrant winds sang to the pines: the
woods
Stretched their dark branches by the dust

Within the orchards dim the fruited boughs
Hung weighted with their own rich heav'
ness,
And grapes were gathering In their purpl
globes
The warmth of countless of September suns
Until the season waned!
Then, when the stars (like white rose petals
dropt on shady streams)
We're drifting warmly in the cold blue Skies
A white frost spirit took his silent path
Past field and fold DER fern clad rocks and
glens,
And tenderly, not roughly, laid his hand
Upon the merry brooks-and stilled their
Then through the silence, passing wood and
wold,
he crowned deserted nests with silver rims,
Hung crystals on the naked boughs, and kissed
The clinging vines until they blushed for
shame!
He saw q nation prosperous and at peace;
He saw the farmers barns piled high with
sheaves
And plenty everywhere.
The harvest feast is rich and bountiful in hap

Let us remember blessings and give thanksl

The year decays, November's blast
Through leafess boughs pipes shrill al

With warmer love the home clasps fast
The hands, the hearts, the friends most des
On many seas men sail the fleet
OF hopes as fruitless as the foam.
They roam the world with restless feet
But find no sweeter spot than home.
To-day with quickened hearts they hear
Old times, old voices chime and call
The dreams of many a vanished year
Sit by them at this festival.
Though hearts that warmed them oneo arr

Though heads are hoar with winter frost

For the querchless lamps OF changeless love
That burn in the night of the dead;
For the life that is, for the hope above,

Too Many IhryI~s

the examining hyiiciau Of one Ct the
large life insurance companies in New
York to a Mercury reporter, "is the al
most universal habit OF drug taking,
from the milder tonics TO patent medi-
cines. Whenever the average men or
women feel depressed or slightly i'll,
they resort at once to some medicine
more or less strong. If they would try
to find out the cause Cf the-trouble and
seek to obviate it by regulating their
mode of living, the general health of the
community would be better. This drug
habit tends continually to lower the
tone Of the system. The more it is in
dulged IN the more apparent becomes
the necessity of continuing the down.
hill course. The majority Of persons do
not look beyond the fact that they seem
to feel better after the use Of a stimu-
lating drug or patent medicine. This
feeling comes from the benlmbiAE ac-

SOME THANkseivINe MENUS.
Enexpensive and Appetizing Dinners For
the National Feast Day.

"Oh, for some kind friend to suggest
menus within my means for a dainty,
appetizing Thanksgiving dinner!" sighs
the economical little housewife who is
obliged to live on limited allowance,
perhaps cannot even afford maid Of
all work. Besides cooking the meals she
must see that they are served in tempt
ing manner, so that tired, overworked
James will thoroughly enjoy his well
seasoned steak and potatoes and not re-
mark how much better they are to be
had at chophouse or restaurant.
Here, then, are some simple, mex
pensiye menus for just such a busy
woman, which are calculated to pro-
duce good cheer and grateful spirit on
this near approaching day of thanks. If
one wishes to go ''from oysters to wal
nuts" Oh a Thanksgiving day feast he
can do it with comparatively small ex-
pense.-
Little Neck CLAIMS, being cheaper than
oysters, will do for the first course,
served in the half shell. Then cream
tomato soup is good and economical.
For the third course have roast tur-
key, small white onions, boiled and
served with drawn butter, mashed pota-
to and baked sweet ones, and the inevi-
table cranberry sauce or jelly. For rel
ishes homemade pickles and salted pea
nuts, instead Of almonds, being much
less expensive and considered by some
quite as good, celery and olives, celery
salad with mayonnaise. or a plain let
tuce salad with French dressing will do
Next come a homemade mince pie, nuts,
raisins, fruit and coffee.
Here is still another simple menu for
such an occasion:
Oysters on the half shell. Cream of
celery soup. Roast turkey with chest
nut stuffing. Potatoes mashed and
formed in cones, then brushed over with
beaten egg and piled in the oven to
brown. Boiled caulifower with cream
sauce and celery. French canned string
beans, put in tho ice chest until they
have become very cold, then drained
and tossed in French dressing, make a
delicate and delicious salad.
A boiled homemade plum pudding
with wine sauce, pumpkin pie, nuts.
raisins and coffee are a pleasant finish
to this modest feast.
Or here is still another, quite differ
ent from the foregoing menus:
Creamed turkey soup. Boiled turkey
with rice stufing and oyster sauce.
Riced potatoes. Scalloped tomatoes.
Boiled onions and cranberry. celery
pickles and salted almonds. ds.-Philadel

The Bishop and the Pilgrims.

cathedral tells a good story of an Amer
ican bishop who was travelling in Eng
land Every one he met said: "Ah,
you are from America, to be sure I've
always been interested i'll America,
where the pilgrim fathers landed on
Plymouth rock ?" The good bishop heard
this so often that there grew up in his
soul a loathing for the pilgrim fathers
who landed on Plymouth rock. At last
he remarked. "I'm beginning to wish
it had been the other way-that Plym-
outh rock had landed on the pilgrim
fathers Exchange.

Importance of Our National Festival.

The Importance of the Thanksgiving
festival lies in the fact that on this day
the people of America are called upon
to attribute their happiness, peace and
prosperity, not to the genius of Wash
ington or Lincoln, not to the victories
Of Grant or the astute craftsmanship of
this or that great president or politi-
clan, but to the love and mercy and
power of Almighty God. We regard the
yearly appointment of day of national
thanksgiving as the happiest, the most
dignifed, the best method that a great
country could resort to in vindicating
itself from the charge Of irreligion and
placing Itself on the same plane with
other Christian nationalities. Church

THANKSGIVING in 1916.
hn Observer Feared 1t Was Losing Its
Sanctity-From an Ancient Diary.


Sanctity-From an Ancient Diary.
President Madison has again set a
lay for national thanksgiving. The Gus
lom has become established in New
England, but for some reason the rest
If the United States has not universally
tdopted it, and years have elapsed since
the United States government has rec
Dgnized the day. But now at the close
of the second and what believe will
be the last war with England and II
years after the infant republic showed
itself able to cope with distant foreign
powers in its trouble with Tripoli there
is much cause for giving thanks to the
bountiful Giver of all good.
Twas out to dinner today at the house
of an old friend, and there was change
from what it used to be. We are depart
ing from the good old times too far.
and am afraid that the occasion will
lose it's sanctity, but must confess to
sinful feeling that it was very enjoy
able, and possibly our forefathers were
a trifie austere. We all went to church,
it is true, but the women were fashion
ably dressed in founces and furbelows.
Their gowns would not have been toler-
ated in the good old times, but there is
no longer any law to prevent wearing
such clothes as they may see fit.
1t is time of laxity. A man is no
longer allowed to chastise his wife, even
though it be reason and for her good,
while hereto is permitted to go un-
punished, except by the church. We are
standing upon the brink Of danger. Aft
er church this morning we returned to
dinner, and we were seated at the table
without family prayers, matter which
shocked me greatly. The old time re-
union of the family was kept up, and all
Of the relatives were there, but they ate
and talked in spirit Of levity, and the
entire occasion was one of hilarity rath-
er than a solemn. religious feast for the
purpose of gathering the family togeth-
or under one roof that they might give
thanks with prayer to the source Of all
blessings.
1t was a most unseemly hour before
we eparated-nearly midnight-and
the giver of good was nearly if not quite
forgotten in the midst Of the festivities
The young people played games, and I
regret to say that some Of the older ones
SO far forgot their dignity as to join in
"blindman S buff, Copenhagen" and
"pussy wants corner" :" As I look back
upon the day I know that it was very
badly spent, but 1 enjoyed it, and it
may be that the old rules were too strict,
although the new ones are certainly too
lax. Even the minister shared in the
changed condition of affairs, for the
evening service was entirely omitted,
and there was not even preaching dur
ing the afternoon, the sermon in the
morning being the only religious feature
Of the day. Enquirer.

Famous Dishes of Ancient Days.

Brawn was dish of great antiquity.
It was made from the flesh of large
boars which lived i'll a half wild state,
and when put to fatten were strapped
and belted tight round the carcass i'll or
der to make the flesh become dense and
brawny. 1t came to market in rolls two
feet long by ten inches in diameter,
packed in wicker baskets. A breakfast
of Drawn, mustard and malmsey was a
common repast for the English hunting
squire of the olden time
Other famous dishes were the "mync-
ed pie," plum porridge, roasted apples
and huge Christmas pies.

Selecting the Turkey.

A turkey that has been killed day

places. For tenderness there are three
infal]ible tests. The first is the flexible
condition of the bit Of gristle that lies
under the skin at the point of the wish
bone. The second is by easily breaking
the under bill, and the third is the size
Of a small bony knob that appears on
the back of the leg, just half inch
