"a Thanksgiving we shall have when our
America is rid of that exotic hell--the sa-
loon.
one of the hopeful signs of the time is
the glorious fact that the pew is de-
manding a better and purer pulpit, a
pulpit that is fearless in its denunciation
of sin, pulpit that will denounce the sa-
loon on Sunday ana not be seen to lurk
in its gloomy, dismal shadows on Mon
day
Today a grand and glorious nation sings
"God is Love" The leaves of the trees
as they leave their summers home, sing
as they fall into the arms of mother
earth, God Is Love" The birds as they
fly south to summer land sing God iS
Love" Tho waters of yonder sparkling,
bubbling brook sing God Is Love" The
mountains and hills clap their hands and
sing "God is Love" The clouds basking
in the warm, effulgent rays of the sun
sing God is Love"
Listen, l see standing before the great
white throne in the presence of the Most
High a mighty multitude, angel and arch
angel, seraphin and cherublm with the re-
deemed of Israel chanting In sweetest
tones, divine, their glorious TIE Deum to
| the great / am, God is Love, whilst rising
! from every reverert heart in this sane
| tuary comes the response For His Mercy
| Endureth Forever"

Little Treat.

Though the Rescue mission is In
financial straits itself, it furnished,
through Superintendent and Mrs. Sam

of the converts and their families after
last nights service.

we teach" said Superintendent San

All the English-speaking denomina-
tional churches of the North End unit
ed in a Thanksgiving Day service in
the Providence Methodist Episcopal
church yesterday morning. 1t was
beautiful and elaborate service and
the attendance being such as to tax
the utmost capacity of the spacious
edifce.
Rev. r. Il. Bulgin, Of the Christian
church, delivered the sermon. 1t was
ln eloquent and inspiring effort tcem-
ing with lofty patriotic sentiments
and demonstrating that this nation has
been an especial care of Providence.
He took as his theme God is Love"
and spoke in substance as follows:
God is Love" Thus wrote the beloved
John owe" 1890 years ago. Down through
the corridors of time it has travelled until
! 1t has struck n responsive chord-not only
| i'm the heart of an individual, but of ma
! tion-Amerca. God is Love. Another
| year has rolled into bygone ages. Another
! year. and Gods heart has not ceased to
/ beat i'm interest for our great republic.
| Another year, and His all-seeing eye has
| never slumbtr red Morning, noon and
night He has watched over IS with q ten
der Shepherds care. Another year, and
the hand of God has not been idle. 1t has

! storms and tempests calm and sunshine
| 1t has dealt cut the times ana the sea-
sons, and showered untold blessings Law

| His ear has heard the petitions of our
Christian people that our land should be
free from the scene of unhOly wars. An
other year, and that arm which controls
the forces of nature has guided our peO-
pie in the pathway of peace.
| Yesterday, yOnder sun left the troubled
| shores of Europe, and continued its God
| given course over the Atlantic. When
at last its warm, magical and respondent
rays kissed the rocky shores of Maine, It
beheld what?--a nation a peace. and
on it travelled. When it had reached the
zenith of its power and looked down upon
the fertile plains and sparkling waters
of the Mississippi valley it beheld what
"a nation still at peace. When at last it
hugged the snow-clad mountain peaks of
the Pacific slopes, 1t bade an affectionate
| farewell, as 1t hurried on its journey to
| the troubled nations of Asia to tell what?
| America is at peace with herself and the
world. My fellow-men, if ever there was

exalted country when we sould sing trI-

Taste for Apples.

Meehan's Monthly: The super
abundance of the apple crop last year
has had one good result for the fu-
ture of the orchardist. It rendered
apples SO cheap that the consumption
was greater than ever before. A taste
Of this kind once stimulated generally
continues; consequently the demand
will be larger in seasons to come than
1t has been hitherto. This year apples
have been in Philadelphia markets the
whole yea through. Last years sup
ply of late varieties, such as the Bald
win, had scarcely disappeared before
the Russian variety. Tetofsky, came in
from Virginia. These. of course. will
be followed by better kinds.

A MISSIONARY MEDICINE.

Cleanliness begins within. II q man isn't
clean inside, he is far from Goodness. A
constipated sinner is q stencil in the nostrils
Of the Deity. A man whose food sours in
his stomach, and whose liver is leaden,
cont help looking at the world hatefully
with jaundiced eye, and conjuring up evil
thoughts in his tortured brain. Cleanli-
ness Of person begets cleanliness of thought.
Cascarets, Candy Cathartic are the mis-
sionary medicine which purifies mems
bodies and minds. Pure, fragrant, pala-
table. mild and positive. they clean out the
intestinal canal, stimulate the liver and
strengthen the bowels. Then a man enjoys
again feeling of charity and brotherly love
for his fellows and recommends others to
take Cascarets and be as happy as he.

employed, q lengthy stretch OF pefmA-
nent Sxass and about thirty acres Of
arabic land, lying between a wild moor
and a large river, was Infested" with
moles, and many a hard days work I
have Lad in leveling the hillocks and
scattering the soil over the surface OF
the land. The farmer who employed
me was greatly in advance Of his
times, and his theories as to the prac-
teal usefulness of moles, weasels, and
almost every kind of wild bird. were
the subject of much bucolic ridicule.
That is nearly forty years ago, and
that farmer is dead. but not his theo-
ries. These were founded on long and
close personal observations, and their
absolute accuracy has long since been
recognized by all intelligent held nat
uralists and agriculturalists. As far as
moles We're concerned, the land where
they most did cong-egate" was natur-
ally poor, but in course Of time the
moles improved it, and out OF curios-
ity l visited the old stealing and land
last summer and found it rich, infin-
itely superior in heart to that Of many
other holdings where the demon mole
catchers were still employed in the ex-
pensive and destructive work.
The mole, like ourselves. is not per-
fect-it has more than one "redeeming
vice." but, taken as whole, it is a
friend of the farmer. It destroys vast
quantity of injurious grubs, and In It's
searchings for these insects. it GER
tainly does injury to the roots OF GER
calls and other plants, more particular
ly when the soil is light and in very dry
seasons. The destructive leather
jacket" is great source of its subsist-
ence; it destroys mice, and it even does
good as a kind of subsoil drainer OF
the land. L may conclude with an ex-
tract from q letter addressed some
years ago by a Yorkshire farmer to q
well-known naturalist, q portion OF
which appeared some years ago in
work dealing with ornithology, ento-
mology and mammology in relation to
agriculture. To kill moles is to leave
the corn and turnip crops upon light
lands, such as sand and deeply-soiled

Value Of i1croa

1t will be observed that In this test
the smaller application OF manure has
been relatively the more profitable. but
this may not be borne out by subse-
uuent results. At the sub-station there
has been but little difference thus far
In the apparent effectiveness per ton.
whether used at the 4-ton or at the g.
ton rate per acre. The results show
IN immediate recovery of about q dol
lar and a quarter on the average in
Increase of crop, at recent prices, for
every ton of manure used. But the
long continued experiments by Lawes
and Gilbert at Rothamsted, q descrip-
ton of which is given in bulletin II of
the Ohio station. show that not more
than one-half to two-thirds the possible
Increase from barnyard manure is re-
covered in the first crops grown from
It. We may therefore safely Offset the
residual effect of the manure against
the cost of application and consider the
immediate increase as clear profit. In
another experiment at the central sta
ton, potatoes, wheat and clover are
grown in a three-crop rotation, and in
this test the increase from manure APP
piled to potatoes has reached $3.50 per
ton. potatoes being valued at 80 Is
cents per bushel. Barnyard manure is
relatively deficient in phosphoric acid,
q compared with ammonia and potash,
and the experiments Of the Ohio sta
ton indicate that phosphoric acid is
the constituent most needed on the ma
tority of Ohio soils. but that 1t only
produces its full effect in the presence
Of ammonia and potash. The price Of

CrystallixinG Fruits.

Few CONNECTIONS are more delicious
than candied fruit, and few sweetmeats
are more expensive, 60 cents a pound
being the regulation price, and pound
represents a very small amount. They
can be prepared at about half the cost,
however. at home. If care is taken.
Cherries. currants, pineapples. april
cots, pears and peaches are best expe-
rimented upon. The two former can
be used in punches; the pineapple is
sliced across the fruit, each piece be-
ing q good quarter-inch thick; apricots
are cut on one side and the stone slip
ped out, while pears and peaches are
halved, and, of course. peeled.
Make a very thick syrup, pound for
pound, adding for each pound a small
cup of water. Boil the sugar first, then
drop in the fruit. and when they have
boiled clear take out and drain from
the syrup. II the cherries are stoned

In two hours turn the fruit. sprinkle
with sugar again. Keep this up until
the sugar has all dripped out. On no
account have the oven hot, as it will
dry the fruit and leave it like SO much
