A PURITAN THANKSGIVING
The Model Bill of Fare For Their Annual

The Model Bill of Fare For Their Annual
Feast.
We have no record of just how the
Puritans' Thanksgiving tables were set,
but from contemporaneous pictures we
can judge that there were few, if any,
forks, each guest being supplied with a
knife. They sat ON benches and chests,
ate from pewter platters, and the table
was in most cases literally a board
placed on wooden horses. They had few
chairs or tables, but were plentifully
supplied with chests containing their
linen and wardrobes, and these served
in the place of chairs. In later colonial
times chairs and tables became more
plentiful and forks were more common,
but all preferred to eat with their knives
on account of the dangerous, sharp, steel
points of the two pronged forks The
table and dishes were arranged as fol-
lorxJc.

Ironmou1ders Encouraged.

News of better conditions in an in
dustry which has been at low ebb in
{ a wage way for along period is always
extremely gratifying to all the FRIENDS
Of the laboring classes. Such appears
to be the case with the iron molders,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
une. For years the wages of these men
have dropped from one of the highest
to one of the lowest points in the
skilled labor world. This has been due
partly to the constant improvement of
methods, but principally to the lack of
good organization. If the molders had
stood together their craftsmen would
not have had to work at $12 a week
rate, as many have done and as many
hundreds are doing to-day.
Two recent advances in holders
wages are cited as instances of the bet
ter conditions likely to prevail. in the
craft. Some i've weeks ago the Haney
School Seating Company of Grand
Rapids, Mich, gave notice of ten per
cent reduction on molding prices. This
the men refused to accept and declared
the shop closed. Overtures were later
made by the company looking to com
promise but the men remained firm
with the result that the demand has
been withdrawn and the men put to
work at the old prices. Also, a few days
ago, the molders employed by the Au-
burn Stove Company, Auburn, Me-,
scored a success by securing an ad-
vance Of ten per cent on cook stoves
and making it strictly union shop.

A scathIng ArraIgnment.

'In no country and in no age have
the higher courts been on the side OF
the people or of liberty. They are
everywhere the opponents and defend
ers of that force which for the time be-
ing dominates the land.
"Since the war the higher courts
have, as a rule, occupied the same po-
sition toward the corporations and
money power that they formerly did
toward slavery, and for thirty years
they have been regarded as cities OF
refuge by corporations. In some re-
spects they have done more to bring
about the present unhappy conditions
than has congress, for congress did oc-
.casionally pass a measure intended for
the protection and relief of the people.
But almost every one of these acts mas
been killed by judicial construction. AT
the same time the law has been
strained to deprive the humble man OF
his liberty, to defeat trial by jury, and
to destroy the safeguards which the
Constitution has thrown around the
citizen. The darkest forebodings OF JET
ferson have been realized.
But these things should not discour-
age our people, for the courts have
never yet permanently stopped human
progress. The colonies were freed in
spite of the Chief Justice of England.
Jefferson saved the liberties of the
American people in spite of the federal
judiciary. Jackson triumphed in spite
of the supreme court, and slavery went
down in spite of the decision of Chief
Justice fancy. "-Ex-Gov Altgeld of IL

There is no vegetable that grows of
more value to the poultryman than the
onion, says American Poultry Journal.
Doubtless it was one of the foods of the
fowl in its natural state, as it is found

have found it, both in the woods and
praiTies, with sprouts short and crisp
early in the spring, that would lengthen
and tougher as the season advanced, to
bear q, small seeding onion or button"

ing any of the button" onions of the
wild variety, but doubtless if we had
they would have produced the same

onions that the sets of the cultivated
sorts do to-day. Be that as it may, the
onion of commerce is a valuable addi-
tion to the list of vegetables that are
considered good for fowls. At this, sea-
son of the year when the fowls are run
down by the heat of the autumn and
the strain of moulting, the onion will
be found a first-class tonic Where
there is bowel trouble, with greenish
droppings, and dysentery, onions cut up
tolerably fine and fed as often as three
times a week will prove Of great bene-
fit, and where the chickens have had
access to any unclean food and become
affected by it, such as decaying animal
matter which leads to limberneck or
old-time chicken cholera, sometimes
the feeding of onions will be found ben
eficial; although when a chicken gets =
good chance at such stuff, and gets a
big dose of it, it is about as good as
gone. Precaution should be taken to
have nothing of the kind on the prem
ases. Onions boiled in with the warm
mash for the hens is good, and by in
Yigorating and stimulating them causes
them to lay better. In fact onions as

The revolt on the northwestern from
tier of India has been made more SER
ious by the rising of the Afridis, one
of the most powerful of the native
tribes, inhabiting the hills in the
,neighborhood of the Khyber Pass. The
Afridis are a hardy and restless race
of mountaineers. They have been loyal
to the British in previous outbreaks,
and guarded the Khyber Pass during
the Afghan war. Their present con-
duct suggests a widespread concert Of
action among the tribes, inspired prob
ably by the preaching of Moslem fanat-
les. The country is difficult one for
military operations, and the Indian
government is Obliged to strongly pro-
tect the remotest outposts. as even a
slight reverse would stir up more
tribes.

wealth in Mexico.

There is a tradition in New Mexico
that many mines once freely worked
have been lost. There is another tradi-
ton that many springs have been lost,
and it is understood that the losses OF
both mines and springs were brought
about by the Indians. New Mexico is
supposed once to have been much more
attractive that it is now. The Pueblo
Indians arose in revolt on the first full
moon of August, $780, When they had
driven the Spaniards down into Old
Mexico they set to work to change the
conditions so that there should be lit
tie temptation to reconquer New Mex
leo. H2e
The idea inspired the filling of mines
which had been opened and worked
during the former Spanish occupation.
The Indians, with great care, destroyed
all traces of many mines, it is said.
This is not so surprising as what they
did to the springs. It Is tradition, and
the statement is commonly accepted as
historical truth, that in their labors to
render the country as untnviting as
possible, these Indians suppressed num-
erous springs. Such results were ac-
complished in an ingenious manner.
The Indians dug down and cleared
away the dirt until they found the crew
ices of the rock through which the wa
ter came. They took the ibrous bark
of a species of fir tree and stamped it
into the crevices. AS the material be-
came water soaked 1t swelled until 1t
plugged. Nothing remained but to
throw back the dirt and to give to the
surface the general arid appearance OF
the surrounding country. This was not
a temporary expedient. 1t resulted,
according to the present theory, in the
permanent destruction of many sources
of water
To this day the appearance Of slight
moisture often stimulates a search for
one of the missing springs. Occasion
ally these searches are successful. The
earth is removed, the creVices are
found, the bark is picked out, and the
water, after more than two centuries OF
being turned back, resumes it natural
how.-Railway Agent.

Traae Unlons Are Not Tru,ts.

Much discussion has been recently in
dulged in relative to the proposition
that labor unions are trusts, the agita
ton growing out of the passage of the
antitrust laws by several state legisla-
lures. Victor Yarros, in the American
Federationist for August, combats the
idea that labor unions are trusts, and
says: They do, indeed, tend to raise
wages, but the result is beneficial to
the entire community. Higher wages
means higher standard of living for
all. and not detriment to consumers

Within the next three or four years
it is probable that two-thirds of all TIE
draft horses now doing the work Of the
country will be expended in the ser
vice" and will have to be replaced,
says Southern Cultivator. There is a
great deal of talk about the progress
Of invention displacing the horse, but
no trolley or bicycle has yet been found
to displace the horse. Nothing OF a
practical character has yet been dis
covered that will do the work of the
draft horse. 1t is a class of horses,
too, that has become notably scarce in
the country. There are very few OF
them coming on. With revival OF
business, which is certain to come
eventually, those city firms which take
pride in having their vans, drays and
other heavy vehicles drawn by fine,
heavy, snowy draft horses will be in
the market, for supplies. They find
that horses of this class not only do
the work well, but are handsome ad-
yertisement of their business. Nor Is
there much promise that they will be
found in the near future in the exist
ing supply of colts. Farmers and live
stock growers are looking about to find
some line Of work that is not over
done. No one conversant with the sit
uation has any apprehension about the
draft horse business being overdone
now. The only thing that at present
prevents a genuine draft horse famine
is the general business depression that
exists throughout the country, which
limits the demand. If the demand were
normal, the supply would be wholly
inadequate to it. The breeding of good
draft horses wherever one has mareg
suitable for the work, is, therefore, so
far as it is possible for anyone to peer
into the future, as good an opening aa
the live stock grower can find.

The MILK Can.

At a convention in Minnesota, ]. K.
Bennett said, among other things: "In
the care of cans, they are to be kept
clean and free from rust. They should
be washed as soon as possible after
being used. Rinse first with cold wa
ter, then scrub thoroughly with, a
brush both inside and outside, using
warm water-almost hot, or better, a
good soap suds, use it often anyhow.
Give particular attention to the seams
and don't forget the outsides. You
know the inside is often judged by the
outside. Finish with scalding water.
Turn your cans upside down long
enough to allow them to drain; then
leave them right side up, or on their
sides in the fresh air, and you will
have clean, sweet cans. It Is a very
common error to leave them over a
stake, or on board. This is a serious
mistake, as invariably the cans will
sour thereby. The hot air or steam
rises and has no escape, consequently
condenses in the cans and sours. Much
milk otherwise well cared for is often
tainted from no other reason. A rusty
can should not be used, as it imparts
a. foreign flavor to milk.
