A hate estimate gives Russia peace eff
tectiyo of 800, Ooo men aPd France one Of
1900, making an aggregate, for what is
sometimes called the dual alliance, of
1,37O,OOO On tho other hand, Germany
is credited with 5SO,OO0 men on u peace
footing, Austria with $50, 600 and Italy
with 100000, making an aggregate of
1,26O,OOO. Thus the opposing forces are
pretty nearly equal, with the advantage of
position and facility of concentration in
favor of the triple alliancs, as they are in
perfect communication, while France and
Russia are separated. The war footings
alse Show some preponderance for the dual
over the triple alliance, but there, too
the elements Of junction and separation
are to be Kept in mind-New York Sun.

THANKSGIVING DAVE FRouIcK.
Suggestions For an Entertainment In the
Style of Ye OIden Tyne.

Style of Ye OIden Tyne.
Sufficiently in advance to allow your
friends time for preparation send out in
vitations to ye olden tyne Thanksgiving
daye frOlick, and intimate therein that
appropriate costuming, in strict simplicity,
Is expected. The young women should
wear print gowns and aprons and add the
slight touch necessary to turn the prevail
ing tone of hairdressing back one leaf
farther in quaintness. The men must
copy in dress Brother Jonathan's portSaits
Have merely a violin, the fiddle of early
days, for music and dance gay country
danccs-the quadrille, Dan Tucker, Vir-
ginia reel, and so on, with calling off.
The brighter the people that can be
brought together and the better the acting
of the parts the greater the success Of the
entertainment Of course
Cover the drawing room carpet with
crash, not only to assist dancing, but also
to give an impression Of bare floor primi-
tiveness. Move away or cover up all elab-
crate bric-a-brac and sumptuous furni-
ture. Decorate with cornstalks, cedar
boughs, pumpkins and strings of red pep
pers. A barrel or two of bright apples
standing about would also add to the gem
eral effectiveness. In a conspicuous posi-
ton place table holding tray of mo-
lassos and a large plain white pitcher of
sweet cider for the guests occasional re-
freshment. If there is an open fireplace in
the room, popping corn there might prove
pleasant change from the dancing, the
operation forming pivot upon which to
hang amusing old time stories and "sing-
in schulz" songs, both in solo and chorus.
All this interspGrse with the eating of
popcorn and apples and the drinking of
cider
Rollicking dancing should end the even
ing whatever tho other diversions intro
duced may have been. And the old time
"groaning board" must be spread in tho
dining room with early day favorite dishes
roast turkey and little pig served whole,
baked beans and brown bread, Indian
pudding, hot biscuits and rusks, cucumber
and mango pickles, pot cheese, apple but
ter, damson preserves, fruit and pound
cake and doughnuts, coffee with rich
cream and glasses of milk.
, These hints followed in barest outline
will make novel and pleasing entertain
ment. But each extra effort in detail will
tell just so much in the general attractive
ness of the result. Every touch of realism
in the hostess arrangements, every quaint
bit of phraseology or manner in the guests,
will add greatly to the charm of the event.

DelIcacies of OIden Feasts.

If wego back to the days of Queen Eliz-
abeth, only short time previous to the
Plymouth thanksgiving cooked in the
woods, we shall find some curious dishes
In vogue. There was picked grouse, with
cloves and ginger; soused turkey, boiled
In white wine and vinegar and soaked for
q month; pear puddings, " containing no
pears, but made of cold fowl chopped up
with flour, currants eggs, cream, etc, and
then fashioned into the form of pears and
baked. Among the delicacies of the age
San be enumerated omelets of mallow
stalks, cheese made Of ounces, hartshorn
Jelly, stalks of tulips cooked like pears,
apple strip and candied fruits.-Christian

Early Thanksgiving Days.

The first recorded Thanksgiving was
the Hebrew feast Of the tabernacles.
There have been but two English
Thanksgivings in this century. One was
Dn Feb ~, 1879, for the recovery of the
Prince of Wales from illness; the other,
June 81, 1887, for the queens jubilee.
The New England Thanksgiving dates
from 1888, when the Massachusetts Bay
colony set apart day for thanksgiving.
The first national THANKSGIVING proola-
nations were by congress during the Rev
Nutionary war.
The first great American Thanksgiving
day was in 1884 for the declaration of
peace. There was one moro national
Thanksgiving in 1889, and no other till
1862, when President Lincoln issued ma
tional proclamation for day of Thanks
giving. Since that time the president has
issued an annual proclamation. 49, ST.

Share Your Joy With Others.

The pilgrim colonists shared the first
Thanksgiving feast with Massasoit and
his 80 Indians. We should invite to ours
not only those near and dear to us, but
some of those others who would eat 1t in
solitude if we did not remember them. To
many minds this will seem an almost IN
justitlable sacrifice Of the coziness of the
family party. The blessedness of giving
and of giving something more than of our
material substance will compensate for it,
Those who have never known what it is
to be alone in the world or even tempo
rarily divided from their own kindred can
not conceive what it is to the solitary ones
to be welcomed into home. A far more
substantial benefit would not give a 1.-THE

Princess Marie Louise Relic For Sale.

A Roman countess offers for sale the
dress which Princess Marie Louise of Aus
tria wore on the occasion of her marriage
to Napoleon I. The empress gave it to a
lady of her court, who in turn presented it
as "A thanks offering to the Church of the
Madonna of CastelguelfO, Italy; it then
served sometimes as an altar covering and
sometimes as a vestment for the statue of
the Madonna. Hard pressed for money,
the church sold it in 1888 to the Roman
countess, who now tries to convert this
relic of the empire back into cash.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.
Thanksgiving Dinner Menu of Olden Tin
and of Recent Date.

Thanksgiving Dinner Menu of Olden Time
and of Recent Date.
The old fashioned Thanksgiving table
groaned beneath asuperabundance of good
things. In the country especially there
was enough laid before the holiday guest
to keep small family we'll supplied with
food for year To express the plenitudo
of the larder seemed to be the ruling pas
sion for the time being, and to partake lib
orally was the highest compliment one
could pay to the host and hostess.
In the end of the century days an old
fashioned Thanksgiving table would ill
us with feelings of distrust. We have grown
more dainty, or perhaps it is more dyspep-
tic, and we tempt our appetites with the
chops in lace paper frills and sandwiches
tied with pink ribbon. In the days of the
good old Thanksgiving well spread table
was not considered complete unless it was
provided with al of the following dishes
Here is an old fashioned Thanksgiving
menu:
Oystew stew.
Roast turkey. Roast chicken.
Sparerib. Sausages. Head cheese
Mashed potatoes. Hot slaw.
Boiled onions. Turnips. Pickles.
Currant jelly. Preserves.
Honey in the comb. Fruit cake.
Doughnuts.
Mince, apple, custard and pumpkin pies.
Cheese Apples and nuts. Cider
Tea and coffee.
Times have changed since then, and eat
ing has become more of secondary con-
sideration. The modern Thanksgiving
dinner must be good and well cooked. 1t
must contain q variety of dishes, but they
must be dainty and have sauces and dress
ings and furnishings suggestive of the
day.
Delmonioo's chef gives tho following as
his idea of a fin de steele Thanksgiving
feast:
Oysters
Mock turtle soup.
Rissoles of sweetbreads.
Boiled bass with cream sauce.
Potatoes hollandaise.
Turkey stuffed with chestnuts.
Oyster fritters, with cranberry jelly.
Broiled breast Of mallard duck.
Celery salad, with mayonnaise.
Roquefort cheese.
Mince pie. Ice cream. Fruit
