THANKSGIVING AS AN ART.
An Accomplishments in which Gus

An Accomplishment in Which Gus
Mothers Exoelied the Girls of Today.
In an article entitled "An Old-Time
accomplishment" in the Woman's
Home Companion, Edward l.. Pell
says: 1.-THE girl who has cultivated the
spirit of thankfulness does not gush
over at the gift Of daisy, and snap
an Indifferent 'Thanks' at the man
who has lost day from the office TO
crafty her little within. or course,
those mothers of ours had their whims,
and exercised the priceless privileges
of thoughtlessness and swapping now
and then, as girls, and other than glrls'
have always done; but think 1t can
not be denied that the girl of gener-
alton ago had a conscience on the
subject of debts of gratitude such as
few have had since her day.
81 have said that l am afraid that
with many of us today it is lost art.
I am sure that 1t Is not given that
prominence which it once had, and that
it is not cultivated with the enthusiasm
with which it once was. Girls are
taught what etiquette says about 1t, but
etiquette deals only from the lips out
ward, and the result is that even our
language tells the story of the deca-
dence of thanksgiving. A traveller
from Mars might hear our 'Thanks!'
a million times and never suspect that
1t was meant as an acknowledgment
of a favor. I am sure that up to. say
dozen years ago, in those parts OF
our country where gallantry has held
out longest, one could not give up a
seat in a car without being sure OF a
full return in an acknowledgment that
meant to acknowledge something; and

toward Crawford. STAY he said.
Some one was here and spoke to me.

in his eyes. "Ah, Crawford! | recol-

Bessie. "That Is fun, or maybe she has
new dresses for our dolls"
II don't care for taffy, or dolls or
anything" said Sophy. "I'm home
sick. Well, of course l am at home,
but it isn't home without mamma and
papa"
They went down stairs with long
faces, and neither of the children had
much appetite for their nice milk-toast
, and baked apples.
"Well, now, how solemn you look!'
said Aunt Rosy. Thanksgiving Day,
when you ought to be thinking of all
your blessings; and you don't even ask
me what the surprise is. We're going
to grandma's to spend the day; there,
now"
but papa and mamma won't be
there" said Bessie.
"And we can't be happy even there"
said Sophy, sobbing.
Really. it was dreadful for Aunt Rosy
to laugh at them just then, but she
did. ~ VA
II don't believe she loves us one bit, :"
said Sophy, in whisper.
Il don't, either; she's dreadful" said
Bessie.

that today the average man is utterly
upset and undone when his ears catch
the old sweet sound. Of course, this
does not justify nor account for the
current lack of gallantry among men,
but I am not engaged in the hopeless
task of restoring men to the old paths,
but in the hopeful one of pointing out
a neglected talent which the most
charming Of girls may cultivate with
good results. l am not grumbling.
do not mean to say that the girl OF
the period is one whit behind the girl
of the past l do not believe in the
decadence of women. l believe that
the girl of today is equal to the girl
her mother used to be; but do not
believe that it is enough to say of our
girls that they are equal to the girls
of the past, any more than 1t Is enough
to say of flower that has had the
best attention of the best florists for
generation, that it is as beautiful today
as it was thirty years ago. If
we have done wisely, the girl of today
ought to have not only something
which her mother lacked but she
ought to have all her mothers graces
as well. But it is a serious question
whether, in pressing her development,
we have not cultivated some qualities
at the expense of others, Just as in
pressing the development of certain
flower we have increased its size and
beauty at the expense of its fragrance. F."

A Reform in Siberia.

Up to the present year the great pro-
vince Of Siberia, covering an area con-
siderably larger than all Europe, has
been without organized courts, the
whole country having been subject to
the arbitrary administration of officials
appointed by the tsar. On the first of
August a modern and uniform system
OF public justice was instituted, and
law courts were opened in each of the
provincial capitals. with a court of
appeals at Irkutsk. There Is still no
trial by Jury, but the new system rep
resents a great advance upon the old.

Good Advice Made a President.

The following advice was impaired
to John Quincy Adams, by his mc,her,
in 1878, in a letter to him while he
was in Europe: Great learning and
superior abilities, should you ever
possess them, will be of little value
and small estimation, unless virtue,
honor, integrity and truth are cher
ished by you. Adhere to the rules and
principles early instilled into your
mind, and remember that you are re-
sponsible to your God. Dear as you
are to me, l would much rather prefer
that you would find a grave In the
ocean which you have crossed. than to
see you an immoral. grscsless child"

A Marvellous Needle.

Among the many treasures owned by
the queen is wonderful needle made
for her in Buckinghamshire. The
needle is a miniature of the Roman
column of Trajan, but instead of the
exploits of Roman emperors, scenes in
the life of Her Majesty are depicted.
One shows the queen when young
girl at Tunbridge Wells, another
scene is the coronation at Westminster,
while third shows the royal marriage
with the prince consort. The figures
in all these scenes can only be made
out plainly by the aid of magnifying
glass. The needle can also be opened,
and it contains several others, all of
the same form, and all are adorned
with miniature figures in relief.

a rhanksrlvlng ProclamatIon.

Know all men by these presents that
We turkeys do protest
Against an annual outrage which
Brings sorrow to the nest.
We think it most becoming for
A nation to give thanks,
But we object in firm tones when
1t cuts into our ranks.
Think of the widowed ones. and think
Of orphans in the flock,
Who must this year with sadness view
The cruel chopping block.
So now, good people, we request.
Our pleadings may be heard,
And If you must give thanks and
feast
Please kill some other bird.

words in the English Lanruare.

1t is quite unnecessary for any writer
to interlard his work with foreign
words or pharses. There are now over
25O,OOO words in the English language
acknowledged by the best authorities,
or about 10000 more than in the Ger
man, French, Spanish and Italian Ian
guages combined One can easily I'M
derstand foreigners borrowing from
English, but it seems inexcusable for
English writers to burden their works
with words taken from languages with
q much smaller number of words than
are to be found in our dictionaries.

came their papa; and it was SO Won
derful they could not believe it.
my darlings, no one was laughing
at you," said mamma. Every one
knew we were here but you. I asked
them not to tell you in order to give
you happy surprise; and when you
said you did not know when you would
see us, how could they help laughing
when they knew you would eat dinner
with us at grandpa's house?"
"Then they did love us all the timer"
said Bessie, "a .$
