In Advance of Thanksgiving Day.

Several days of glorious weather
closed Thursday.
1t was celebrating, lifegiving. life
preserving, Flostburg weather.
1t inspired with new piquancy the
blood of age ; infused the metallferous
quality of steel into the elastic sinews
of infancy. and endowed with all the
bounding rejuvenescence OF youth the
auriferous af1latus Of the goldbug.
Life those days IVES worth living.
Not all the barbaric yawps OF the
argentferous Vandals and Huns who
lately descended upon the eternal city
of democracy to kick the hoary old
gods of constitutional liberty out of
the Jeffersonian pantheon could de
prive us of one of the least of mother
Natures best gifts.
sin spite of even the Legislature, v
wrote Macaulay in his History of Eug-
land, "the snow would fall when the
sun was in Capricorn, and the flowers
would bloom when he was in Cancer"
We may look to the nither depths of
the political abyss over which we have
safely crossed and be thankful, but it
Is our better province to turn our glad
eyes to the sapphire armament and in
its wide expanse of sidereal evolution
discern the multiplied promise that
truth, eternal as the light of suns,
shall never be COMPOUNDED.
We can even rejoice that the smiling
face of mother Nature beams benignly
upon the squirming atomies who still
walk and talk Of repeating her irrever-
sible laws.
We can be glad that Notwithstanding
"they sin STILL" she withholds not a
mite of her muniticent bounty to the
most blatant of them all.
Upon each, righteous and UPRIGHT
eous, she commands the sun to shed his
plying beam with undecaying lustre

A SCENE IN ANCIENT GREECE.
The Great Annual Gathering at the
Olympian Games.

Olympian Games.
About the first of the Olympic month
war. and battle-sound ceased through
out the length and breadth of Hellas.
The distant roads which led to Olympia
were thronged with pilgrims bound on
u journey almost as sacred as that of
the pilgrimage to Mecca by the devout
Mahommedan. AS the distance les
sened and the time neared, the travellers
became more numerous, audit seemed
as if Greece dispatched all her brayest
and strongest and noblest sons intothese
converging currents. On horseback
and muleback, on foot and in litter,
some carrying their simple luggage
upon their backs, some with elaborate
wagons containing splendid camp
eqmpage and the richest wines and
foods guarded by a retinue of servants,
they shoked each route with an army of
teeming life. The five festival days were
a great national picnic, where almost
everything was enjoyed in the open air
under glorious midsummer sky. A
few OF the distinguished visitors were
cared for in the temples; but a major
ity, even of the wealthy, chose the free
life of their own tents.
The daily scene, one can fancy, was
rich with life and pictorial effect. One
of the fairest of Greek valleys, with
snow-crowned heights in the back
ground, it's own bosom crowned with
the white-pillared beauty of a hundred
temples and public edifices, is filed
with thousands of tents of every color,
like gigantic flowers. During the hours
when the visitors do not resort to the
stadium to thrill with the terrible
struggles of the runners or wrestlers
or boxers, or to watch the smoking
horses in the hippodrome, they amuse
themselves at the booths of the traders
and chapmen. For from all parts of
the civilized world merchants have
gathered to sell their wares, ranging
from the rarest jewels and most elab-
crate goldsmith work to simple ar
ticles of daily use.
Olympia was indeed the arena of the
greatest public games of antiquity, for
we can scarcely call by this name the
cruelties of the Roman amphitheater;
but it was also the site of one of it's
busy and active fairs, national eX-
position" under canvas, every four
years.
Mental enjoyment of the higher sort
was not missing from the entertain
ment. The leading tragedies were rep
resented in one of the finest theaters of
Greece. Poets and historians came
here also to recite their new works,
and so to publish their fame to the
world. 1t is said that many of the
stirring odes of Pindar were made pub
lie in this way, and that Herodotus, the
father of history, first read his delight
full story before the audience at an
Olympian festival.-G. T. Ferris, in
st. Nicholas.

Lady" Who Crushed Her Sleeves.
Verify, the worm will turn, even the
downtrodden, patient male worm found
in street cars. He turned the other
day on the Madison avenue line. He
was a sickly looking man, of middle
age, who entered and gazed about anS-
iously for a seat. About the middle
of the car he detected signs of hope
where a bird of gaudy plumage had
preempted a 15-cent reservation with
her balloon sleeves. Even a half way
civil shrinkage on her part would have
made him happy, but her royal
thoughts were full of Easter, and she
never budged as he stood before her
in the aisle.
Her neighbours heart surrendered a
few inches of space, and he used that
opening wedge till the gaudy grabber,
with the usual street car look of with
ering contempt, yielded enough more
to make him easy-on pinch.
Three or four blocks further on a
stupendous recruit was added to the
company. She carried market basket
and had the breadth of the Liberty
statue. At once the sick-looking pas
senger became aroused to the demands
of chivalry, offered his scant accommo-
dations to the buxom dame and retired
to the platform to watch results.
The space resigned was an awful mis-
fit, but that didn't bother the fortunate
winner. 1t was the furious heart of
the gaudy creature that broke under
the mass of determined plebeian flesh
at her side. She turned red, white and
blue, bit her lips at the spectacle of
crushed wings, and darted javelins of
wrath toward the platform. The audi
ence gasped and smiled. She signaled
a stop. AS she angrily founced past her
merciless foe that dear old word

mouth.-N. Y. Herald.

Great Power for Ui1h Speed.

The large amount of fuel required for
very high speed racing boats has been
the subject of thorough investigation
by experts, in order, if possible, to re-
duce the quantity of coal necessary for
this purpose. Some of the British tor
pedo boat chasers are thought to be the
most perfect vessels of their class in ex-
istence, but in order to attain 30-knot
speed, they must carry go tons of coal.
This Is fully one-quarter of their entire
sea-going displacement. Under high
speed they consume between three and
half and four tons of coal an hour. To
propel a vessel with speed of 20 knots
an hour, the consumption of fuel is ire
mendous. Twenty-seven knots an hour
is the best speed Of the.ordinary torpedo
