THANKSGIVING AS AN ART.
An Accomplishment In Which Our Moth-
ers Excelied the Girls of Today.


In an article entitled "An Old Time
Accomplishment, in The Woman's Home
Companion, Edward L. Pell says: The
girl who has cultivated the spirit of thank
fitness does not gush over at the gift of a
daisy and snap an Indifferent Thanksl2 at
the man who has lost day from the office
to crafty her little whim. OF course
those mothers of ours bad their whims and
exercised the priceless privileges Of
thoughtlessness and sHeaping now and
then as girls and Other than girls, have
always done, but think it cannot be de-
MED that the girl of a generation ago had
n conscience on The subject of debts of graf
itude such rs few have I'D since her day.
81 have said that an afraid that with
many of us today it is a lost art. am
sure that it is not given that prominence
which it once had, and that it is not cult
waited with the enthusiasm with which it
once was. Girls are taught what etiquette
says about it, but etiquette deals only from
the lips outward and the result is that
even our language tells the story of the de-
cadence of Thanksgiving. a traveller from
Mars might hear our isanks!' a million
times and never suspect that it was meant
as All acknowledgement of favor l am
"
those parts Of cur country where gallantry
has held eur longest. one could not give
up seat in IL car without being sure of
full return in an acknowledgement that
meant to acknowledge something, and
that today the average man is utterly up
set and undone when his ears catch the old
sweet sound
OF course this does not justify or ac-
count for the carrent lack of gallantry
among men, but 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. I am not grumbling. l do not
mean to say that the girl of the period is
one whit behind the girl of the past. do
not believe in the decadence of women.
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 it is enough to say of
a flower that has had the best attention of
the best florists for generation that it is
as beautiful today as it was 30 years ago
If we have done wisely, the girl of today
ought to have not only something which
her mother lacked but she onght to have
all her mothers graces as well. But it is
n 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 a certain
flower we have increased its size and beau
ty at the expense of its fragrance.

Why She Floundered.

1t was after the Monocaoy got out of the
drydock at Nagasaki, writes Charles ID.
Almy in the Chicago Times Herald, that
she was bearing General Foote, the newly
appointed and first American minister to
Korea, Mrs. Foote and the minister's
family to JanohuaD, the seaport of Seoul,
the capital of Korea. She was midway
between the Japanese islands and the Ko-
rean peninsula. 1t was a perfectly calm
day, with sea as smooth as a mirror.
General and Mrs. Foote were on the hurri-
cane deck, where the awning made life
worth living. The man at the wheel won
dered what was the matter The needle
on the compass was bobbing from Nm E.
to W. f. Il f. The officer of the deck
looked at the compass in the chartroom,
and it was yacillating between r. q E.
and W. q n. In ten minutes the Monoc-
acy was headed for Spitzbergen, Swallow,
Cape Town, San Francisco and Lima, and
she hadn't gone ten fathoms. Men were
ordered here and there from the starboard
forward coal bunker to the BOBBY hatch to
look for the cause of the Monocacy' latest
antic. Finally the lookout in the foretop
reported something floating two points off
the lee bow. Before his voice could reach
the officer of the deck the floating object
was dead astern and about mile as the
sextant would figure. After waddling
like duck around that shiny sea for two
hours the Monocacy got in hailing dis
lance of the floating object. 1t was her
rudder

Brain Food.

1t is important to note that cerebral
nerve cells demand particular materials
for their proper nutrition. Food which
will make bone will not be best suited to
the nourishment of an active brain and
vice versa. So fat producing foods, while
of course of value in ones diet, yet do not
furnish in large measure nutrients for the
repletion of nerve cells Professor Ladd
says that the chemistry of the nerve cells
is in the main protoplasmic and therefore
rich in albuminous bodies. And, again,
"Of the solids composing the nervous sub
stance more than one-half in the gray and
one-fourth in the white consist of proteid
or albuminous bodies" The foods that
are best calculated to nourish the brain,
then, are those containing large amount
of protein or albumen, rather than fats,
carbohydrates or minerals, the three other
important constituents of foods. But in
many homes, as we'll in those of the rich
as of the poor, the children's dietaries con-
tain comparatively little albuminous food.

ence Monthly.

RoYALIsT DEMONSTRATIONS.
Count de Chambord Never Permitted
himself TO Be Called KingIy Title.

Count de Chambord Never Permitted
Himself to Be Called a Kingly Title.
Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a leading
French statesman, has written an article
entitled "Royalists and Republicans,
giving his impressions Of political society
in Paris, and this appears in The Century.
M. de Coubertin says:
The master of Frohsdorf, since he could
not he king of France, was content to be
Count de Chambord. He judged the title
to be worthy of him. The magnificent
chateau of Cham bord had been offered to
him by national subscription the year of
his birth, and he could not have horne
name more truly French. If speaking to
him one addressed him simply as mon
seigneur. He did not like to be designated
as Henry Y albeit he had been proclaimed
king in $780, and several acts had even
been executed under his authority. He
mover permitted in speaking or writing the
words "sire" or f'your majesty" In all
such matters he showed tact as well as
wisdom, but his followers would have pre-
ferred holder and less scrupulous chief
They sought perpetually to push him be-
yond legal limits
For long time they talked much of
coup d etat, of an appeal to the army, of
sudden appearance in Paris. Later, when
the pretender's age had rendered all such
designs more than ever unrealizable, the
royalists took refuge in exuberant and
sterile manifestations. They congregated
on fixed dates-on July 10, the princes
fete day, and ON Sept. 20, his birthday.
Royalty was proclaimed on all these occa
sions, not only as right, but as a fact
Declarations were made that it was close
at hand. The opportunity was improved
to draw up violent indictments against the
republic. To monarchy was attributed the
power of healing all social ills, even as
mere touch of the kings hand had once,
in the popular superstition, had the power
to cure all persons afflicted with the
"king's evil. "
The functions of July Is were more par
ticularly of a religious nature. On Sept
go there We're banquets, to which a dem
ocratic character was given. They took
place at Paris in some cheap restaurant in
the workingmen's quarter In the prov
inces the fete was celebrated in some gran
airy, festooned with green's and with white
sheets covered with the flower de luce cut
out of gold paper. The notabilities of the
royalist party were present and presided
with a sort of smiling condescension.
Landed proprietors hired big carriages and
appeared with their farmer tenants and the
servants of their household. A royalist
journalist, who had come from Paris, ad
dressed the assemblage over the dessert,
and, the joviality of the repast aiding, his
burning peroration was followed by cries
of "Viye lie roi Many of those indulg
ing in the cries did not fail to vote, all the
same, for the republican candidates at the
next elections. Finally an address to the
king" was proposed and enthusiastically
approved.

ent at New England Funerals.

ent at New England Funerals.
Americans more quickly than
the English people to the follies of bur-
densome and expensive funeral and in
1871 Judge Sewall noted the first public
funeral without scarfs' in Boston. In
1741 the provincial court of Massachusetts,
enacted that no scarves or gloves, except
six pair to the bearers and one pair to each
minister of the church or congregation
where any deceased person belongs, no
wine, rum or rings be allowed to be given
at any funeral upon the penalty of $50"
The law must have been dead letter, but
it certainly had its influence in curtailing
expenses, as various newspaper notices
show. Still, this century New England
funeral was pompous affair, and it must
be confessed far from being in all respects
~ ss1oos11y aft e 5Ifawt hexne says:
= Look back through all the social Gus
toms Of New England in the first century
of her existence and read all her traits of
character and find one occasion other than
funeral feast where jollity was sane
toned by universal practice"
New England rum was ever present at
New England funeral to solace and to cheer
bereayed mourners. All drank before the
procession to the grave, and many drank
after. Nearly all the itemized funeral bills
I have seen until this century were large
in items of rum, whisky, lemons, loaf sug-
ar and spices. Spiced cider was favor
lite drink at a funeral. When a beloved
minister CHANGED to die, his church or
more often the town outdid itself in liber-
al liquid provision for the funeral Nor
were town paupers forgot in death. A
barrel of cider OF two or three gallons of
rum were supplied by the town as the final
item of expense for the town poor. -
Judge Sewali spoke of visit to his fam
lily tomb as an awful yet pleasing treat "
Not less plainly do the entries in his diary
show that every funeral he attended was
to him treat-a great social excitement.
He served readily and officially as pail
bearer at 80 funerals and in every case but
one received scarf, ring and gloves. He
could notattend one funeral lest he should
hear the burial service of the Episcopal
church, which, he said, was "a lying,
very bad office; makes no difference be-
tween the precious or the vile. "-Chicago
