how age smooths down the rough edges of

The first Thanksgiving was appointed by
Governor Bradford at Plymouth, Mass, in
1921, the year following the landing of the
more special way could rejoice together at
having all things in good and plenty. In
preparation for the feast 'gunnerS were
sent into the woods for wild turkeys, which
abounded there in great numbers; kitchens
were made ready for preparing the feast
house, which was under the immediate di-
rection and charge of Priscilla MOlineS, she
who afterward became the wife Of John AL
den-while messenger was dispatched to
invite Massasoit, the chief OF the friendly
tribe, to attend the celebration.
EARLY on the morning of the appointed
Thursday-about the LIST of November
Massasoit and ninety of his warriors ar
rived on the outskirts of the village, and
with wild yells announced their readiness
to enjoy the hospitality of their white
brethren. The little settlement, which now
consisted of seven dwellings and four public
buildings, was soon aStir with men, women
and children, who gave the Indians hearty
welcome as they filed into the large square
in front of the Governors house. Soon the
prayer, for no day was begun without this
religious service. Then followed a holiday
of feasting and recreation, which continued
not only that day but during the two sue
was suspended; the children romped about
in merry play; the young men INDUCED in
athletic sports and games in friendly rivalry
with the Indians; the little American army
of twenty men, under the leadership of
Miles Standish, went through its drill and
astonishment of the natives, while the
women busted themselves in the carefm
preparation Of the excellent meals, which
were eaten in the open air.

RHEUMATISM.
Painful MaIady That Medicine Has
Not Conquered.
Leslie's Weekly.

Leslie's Weekly.
In lightly asserting the contagious nature
OF rheumatism, the doctors presume on the
Iorbearance OF the public. 1t is not dis
ease about which anything positive can be
aihrmed without an appearance of reckless
duuaclIy. OpSlart disorders of modern
origin, less common, less dangerous to life,
and far less excruciating, have, under the
microscope yielded up fantastic, bacilli as
acter and the means of their subjugation.
rheumatism, however-older than the
the bane of Noahs life in the damp days
of the ,deluge-remains stupendous, elu-
sive mystery, and reproach to the medi-
cal profession. Its etiology is unknown, its
treatment is empirical, its prognosis is
blind guess work. 1t is at once the most
painful, fugacious and illogical of diseases.
seems to break down the complicated mech
anism of the joint, resolving the various
perhaps, It Is gnawing its way into, the
ankle joint, leaving its recent seat without
a trace of its awful presence.
Anything of a painful character that baf-
fies the inquiries of the doctors is classed
under the vague and perfidious title Of
rheumatism The only qualities common to
helplessneSs of the physicians The only
treatment common to its different forms is
manifold Affections that restrain the gayety
of nations, rheumatism IS the last about
which anybody should dogmatize The
proper attitude of the profession towards 1t
Is one of humility and awe.
1t is enough that the victim Of rheuma--
tism is without the hope of human aid, and
that he is already regarded as center of
moral pestilence, without proc'aimlng him
a center of physical contagion Profanity
and pugnacity are as essential peculiarities
of the disease as pain itself. The moral
decay of a good man in the clutches OF
rheumatism is one of the saddest of spec
tacles-so sad that the recording angel may
be expected to omit a good deal of profan-
ity, as he is bound to do unless he happens
to be an expert stenographer. 1t IS case
in which considerate friends leave harmless
missiles within the patients reach, that
he may vary the monotony Of pain with
the pleasure of personal assault. To main
tain the contagious character Of rheuma-
tism is to consign the victim to the exclu-
sive care of the professional nurse, who is
trained to dodge books, boots and other
bedside missiles, and trained against shock
from the most virulent explosives.
In short, 1t is almost certain that the doc
tors have no such exact knowledge of rheu-
matism az to warrant the seclusion of the
patient and the severe regulation of the
Turkish bath establishment, from which a
ccnta giouS rheumatism would spread like a
scandal.
