ment till 1883, when President Wash
ing, by request Of congress, recommend
ed a day Of thanksgiving for the adop-
ton Of the constitution. Washington
issued a second thanksgiving proclama-
ton in 1895 on account of suppression
Of instruction.
President Madison, by request of con-
gress, recommended Thanksgiving for
peace in April, 1915. But the official
recommendation Of thanksgiving day
vas mainly confined to New England,
where regular annual proclamations
were issued by the governors of the
states, and the day was observed almost
universally with religious services, and
was the principal social and home festi-
val Of the year. The prayer book of
the Protestant Episcopal church, rati-
fed in 1889, recommends for a day Of
thanksgiving the first Thursday in No
avember, unless another day be appointed
by the civil authorities. There was &C.
cAsional recommendations by other re-
ligious bodies, and various local customs
prevailed in different parts Of the coun-
try; but the day was not regularly
recommended by the governor Of New
York till 1917, and Its adoption in the
Southern states was much later. In 1855
Gov. johnson, Of Virginia, recommend
ed a day Of Thanksgiving; but in 1857
Gov. Wise, being requested to do 80.
publicly declined, because unauthorized
to interfere in religious matters. 'In 1858
thanksgiving proclamations were is
sued by the governors Of eight Of the
states. During the civil war
President Lincoln issued proclamations
recommending special Thanksgiving for
in 1862 and 1858, and a national
pfoclamstion Of the annual thanksgiv-
ipg,day in 1868 and 1884. Since that
such 4 proclamation has been Is

mayors Of the principal cities; and Gus

Big New Engines For The n P.

The Schenectady Locomotive Works
are building for the Northern Pacific
tour mastodon, or twelve-wheel COM
pound locomotives, which will be the
most powerful engines of this type
ever built. The engines are of the
schenectady two-cylinder compond
type, the high pressure cylinder being
rs inches and the low pressure "a
inches in diameter, with a stroke of
~ inches. The cylinders are fitted
with the new inte,cepting valve, de-
signed by the Schenectady Locomo-
tive Works, which enables the engine
to be operated as simple or com pound
at will. The weight of the engines
will be about 10000 pounds, with
14S, 600 on drivers. The driving wheel
centers are of cast steel, 40 inches in
diameter, which, with 81 inch tire,
makes the diameter of the drivers IS
inches. The boiler is of the extended
wagon top type, y inches in diameter
at the front end, has larger heating
surface than ever used in locomotive
practice, and is built to carry a work.

INDIANS in British Columbia are
threatening trouble as the result of
attempt to enforce the ''anti-potlatch"
law. For the benefit of those un-
acquainted with the Chinook dialect
aud the Indian customs, it may be
explained that "potlatch" is kind
OF "Christmas party" given by the
untutored siwash, during which the
donor gives away all or the greater
portion of his personal property to
those who attend. 1t requires no
prohibitory law to prevent the practice
among the highly civilized whites.

Timely Poultry Notes.

Hens that moult late are, as rule,
poor winter layers, and should receive
the preference when selecting a bird
for the pot.
Coal ashes are excellent as dust
bath in winter, but care must be taken
not to use wood ashes, which will eat
the feathers.
Plastering hair is recommended as
an excellent material for nests. It is
soft, warm and being filled with lime
dust is proof against vermin.
Shut up your hens, three years old
or over in a darkened room, except al
feeding time, and fatten them for mar
ket. There is no money in carrying
them through the winter.
Those who wish eggs for incubator
use before the first of the year should
mate up their hens in November
in order to be sure of fertile eggs wher
ready to start the machines.
Fresh ground bone, orfnely chopped
meat, mixed with the morning feed
twice week during the winter will
largely increase the egg yield. About
one pint to dozen hens forms good
ration.
1t is especially necessary in winter
to keep supply of sharp grit con.
stantly within reach of the hens
Smooth gravel will not answer the pur.
pose, as it is useless in grinding the
food in the crop. Crushed crockery, OF
finely pounded limestone, will answer
the purpose acknowledgement

The Next Meteoric Display.

The year 1899 is expected to bring
the grandest display of shooting stars,
as they are called, since the year 1866.
The calculation is that the great shoal
of meteors through which we passed
and which passed by us-for both of
us were in hurry at the time-in
that year will be in our path again in
that year. They seem to come, the
great astronomer, Sir Robert Ball, tells
us, from the center of the sickle-shap-
ed part of Leo; although that could
only be the result of perspective. The
cosmic dust is probably the parts of a
disintegrated celestial object which
burst very much nearer than in any
part of the distant members of that
constellation.
Much more is known of these bright
visitors, whose brightness is the flash
OF death to them, than when they were
last seen. Astronomers knew that
they were not stars, but small frag-
ments utterly dark till they struck
our atmosphere, when the friction
turned them into blaze, and before
we could scarcely measure their flight
they had turned into molten LIQUID,
into gas and into dust so fine that the
eye could not discern the atoms. But
few people understood this, and so to
them the Heavens seemed to be falling
and the end of the world was predict
ed.
There is little more to be learned of
them; analysis of the dust indicates
the nature of their composition. The
inquiry is as to their origin and the
quarter whence they came. Millions
upon millions must have fallen upon
the earth in the succession of ages.
They are falling upon the moon, too,
but there they strike with force as
to which cannon ball at short range
would be as puerlle as a pea blown
against the rock ribs of Mount Rainier
Our atmosphere, which is so benefcent
preserving us alike from excessive heat
and excessive cold, catches those swift
messengers between the spheres and
renders them harmless. Were their
passage less swift, no swifter than
bullet they would not meet sufficient
resistance and friction to produce
combustion, and their destructive
force would be awful-something of
which we have no experience except
that suggested by the cattle-killing]
hailstorms of Australlia.-P /.

While 1t is rather early in the new
year to determine what the measure
of prosperity will be, but from every
indication, local as we'll as general,
we feel safe in asserting that it will be
better for all than either of the past
four years have been. The past year
left our people in7-bstteE condition
than the previous one did, and with
the general prospect for better times
all over the country, the people OF
Shelton and Mason County, are in
fair circumstances to profit by the
improvement. Our business men
claim to have enjoyed fairly pros
porous year, and although profits have
been cut, they have done fairly we'll,
while these conditions have ma 1e it
much seasier for the consuming class.
in the logging circles the orders
have been brisk all through the winter
and continue so, with good prospec is
for the year; and there are but few
logs unsold in this vicinity. This
means that our extensive logging
concerns will be operated to their
fullest extent, and in some direction,
every man in the county will be
benefited.
What we need is to encourage the
opening of some other lines ofindustry
employing more men of families, and
the advent of more farmers, with
means enough to establish themselves
and the energy to open up and cult
vate their land and develop the home
market.
The time is not far distant when
the logging business will begin TO wane
in the county and then we must have
other things to fall back upon, if we
wish to prosper. Woodworking fact
cries, canneries for fish and fruit
creameries, and score of other little
industries which offer employment
and encourage development. We need
all these things, but the development
OF the county in most directions is
hardly far enough advanced to cal
tor much, except woodworking plants
at this time, but our fruit trees are
beginning to bear, and when the sur.
plus comes, be sure that it will not be
wasted.
Let us build not alone for the pres
ent, but with an eye to the future
Washington is destined to become one

Soap in Tablets.

There are novelties even in soap. The
last are soap tablets, that come in pref
ty satin-lined and covered boxes. The
soap is put up in small tablets, like
lozenges-a very convenient form. A
cake of soap is always tobogganing
into unlooked-for corners and slipping
away when it ought to be most useful.
These little tablets are also convenient
to travellers, because they do away with
the necessity for carrying soap box.
They also do away with the need OF
having damp soap at all.
