A Thanksgiving Day Menu.

When Thanksgiving Day began to
be generally celebrated in New Eng
land, where it had its first stronghold,
the regular dinner of the day was very
much the same everywhere, varying
somewhat rs to quality and quantity.
A New Yorker's Thanksgiving Day
dinner in 1897 may include anything
and almost everything. The one
familiar feature which still obtains is
the turkey, which seldom fails to
form the piece de resistance every
where.
Here is the menu Of what claims to
be simple, good, old-sashioned
Thanksgiving Day menu, although
some few concessions have been made
to the times:
Oyster soup. Bread sticks.
Olives. Celery.
Chicken pie.
Creamed macaroni with cheese.
Radishes.
Roast turkey.
Mashed roiIp potatoes Onions Sweet g%aasS potatoes
Cranberry sauce.
Lettuce salad, French dressing.
Cider.
Apples. Nuts. Raisins.
Coffee. Cheese waters.
The waters are the crisp, small,
salted crackers, upon which a little
good cheese is grated. They are well
seasoned, cayenne pepper being used.
and placed in the oven just before
serving. They are then very hot and
the cheese is thoroughly melted.
The bright red and yellow apples,
with chrysanthemums, are the only
decorations of the table or the room.
They give the appropriate fall tome

one Of industry. Priscilla's real life
was not all poetry. There we're four
women, one servant, and a few maids
to prepare and serve the three days
feast for the colonists and their Indi-
an guests.
New York celebrated her first
Thanksgiving Day in manner some
what different. 1t may have been
difference in the race or in the times,
for it was twenty-three years later, in
164f, that it is related that the Dutch
citizens of New York killed nearly 600
Indians and then marched home and
"cheerfully," ate their Thanksgiving
Day dinners.
We unfortunately do not know of
what the dinner consisted that day,
but.it was probably very similar to the
bounteous fare of ordinary days, for
Christmas and New Years were the
only great Dutch holidays.
In New England, at one time, they
kept the day before and the day after
Thanksgiving as fast days. - :. 1t was
sensible action, for hygienic reasons,
il all their dishes were as elaborate as
old recipes show some to have been.

"There is pet snake in nearly
every house in Brazil" said Chica-
goan who has returned from journey
through that country. They keep
them just as we do cats or dogs, and,
indeed, for much the same purpose,
using them to kill the rats at night.
The snakes are species of boa from
ten to fifteen feet long, and are per-
fectly harmless to mankind, while they
are quite afiectionate and, like cats,
become attached to the house where
they are kept. These snakes are sold
in the markets, where / bought one
that died on the voyage from Rio jan
eiro to New York.
"a scientist, to whom I spoke OF
these snakes, told me that no snakes
are really dangerous to man. He said
that never had snake attacked man
unless the man had first attacked it.
The reptile is defensive, but not offen-
sive, and has no desire to pick quar-
rel. But if you tread on IA snake the
thing cannot know that your inten-
tions are not inimical to your welfare.
So always avoid snakes. ."-Chicago

is 5000, 900, 900 cubic feet year, and
in the United States $500, 900, 900

cutting fifteen cubic feet per acre, and
the United States twenty cubic feet.
Over 30 per cent. of the area of Eu-
ropean Russia (including the eau
casus) is forest. But that fact gives
no correct idea of the extent to which
consumers throughout Russia have
wood at their disposal. Less than
half of Russia is rich in forest, one
fifth is poorer than Germany or
France, and one-eighth has scarcely

THANKSGIVING AND EATING.
How the Popular Observance of the Hol-
iday Originated.

How the Popular Observance of the Hol.
iday Originated.
It is q little strange that our earliest
national holiday, the one ut least
which had its origin in the very early
days Of our country, should always be
associated with the dinner table.
Thanksgiving Day and Thanksgiving
Day dinner are synonymous terms
with great many people.
We have good precedent for this,
however, for as early as 1921 the re-
nowned Governor Bradford, after the
first harvest of the colonies at Ply
mouth, sent four men out fowling,
that on the Thanksgiving day he had
appointed they might, "after more
special manner, rejoice together" We
have continued that Especial manner"
Of rejoicing ever since.
1t is probably due to the fact that
those early Thanksgiving Day fowlers
chanced to bring down a generous
supply of plump wild turkeys that we
have immortalized the turkey of later
days, making it our national Thanks
giving Day bird.
Governor Bradford also gave an OBJ
ject lesson at thas first Thanksgiving
Day festival of the hospitality which
is preached to us now ON all sides.
He entertained, SO history relates,
the greatest King Massaoyt" and
ninety Indians, and they feasted for
three days.

destined that their fears should come
true. The workmen were engaged in
tamping new blast while the two
men were intently examining the min
eral vein, when q sudden shock as OF
an earthquake occurred. The blast
had premdturely exploded, and had
been followed by considerable fall
of dirt and debris into the mine.
Fortunately several of the workmen
were outside of the mine and other
help was hastily summoned, and the
injured were rs speedily rs possible
rescued from their disagreeable posi-
tion. Two of the workmen were seri-
ously injured, while Eben Farley
himself had broken leg and several
severe contusions. As for John Carey,
he ever blessed his fortune that he es-
capped with something like half hun
dred cuts and bruises, none of which
was serious, though he was found in
sensible under q wagonload of dirt
and rock. The charge had fortunate
ly been small one, the workmen be-
ing too doubtful of their own skill to
use heavy blasts, or the result might
have been far more tragical.
John Carey was an obstinate and
self.opinionated man, as has been
said, but like most men of his kind, he
believed devoutedly in signs and warn
ings. He was confined to his bed for
several days, during which he had
abundant time to reflect upon his
quarrel with his son and the accident
at the mine.
"Mary," he said to his wife, as he
sat in an easy chair for the first time
since the accident and gazed through
the windows over his broad acres to
where the abandoned mine could be
plainly seen against the hillside, "to-
morrow is Thanksgiving, amt it?"

before their hungry guests and COM
panions q repast as sumptous and
tempting as it was varied and delight
full. Foremost of all there was roast
turkey, dressed with beechnuts; then
came rare venison pasties, savory
meat stews with dumplings OF barley
flour, delicious oysters (the gift of the
Indians, and the first ever tasted by
the white men), great bowls of clam
chowder with sea biscuit floating on
the steaming broth, roasts Of all kinds,
broiled fish, salads, rcakes and plum
porridge; while the centre of each of
the long tables was adorned. with q
large basket overfowing with wild
grapes and plums and nuts of every
variety.
cit was the time of the Indian sum-
mer. The soft, mellow sunlight shone
warmly through the drowsy haze,
illuminating the sombre woodland
with rich golden light, while the
gentle winds of the south, laden with
the sweet perfumes of the forest, came
as a lingering dream of summer to add
to the Joy and brightness Of this
Thanksgiving feast. Upon the balmy
air arose the hum of many voices and
the merry music of laughter, as the
Pilgrims with their Indian guests par
took of the feast that the Provider of
all things had given them"

The generous instinct of humanity
places itself in evidence by the total
contribution of 81, 500, 900 toward the
relief of famine. in India. Large as
this sum is, it is sadly disproportion-
ate to the total loss of $50, 900, 600
which the famine is stated by Lord
George Hamilton to have caused.
English administration, powerless to
avert this vast calamity, is indebted
to the pitying charity of the rest of the

Word comes that fifty thousand
bushels of a new variety of beetle
were swept up from the streets of
New Orleans recently. The moral
drawn from this circumstance by n
New York paper is, Don't kill birds
for their plumage. Millions of birds
are said to have been so slaughtered in
Louisiana of late. 1t seems that the
beetle will not spare him who spares
not the beetles enemy. Thus the
