TRANKSGIYING nIY.

To-day Is Thanksgiving day with all that 1t implies of thankfulness to the Creator, family reunions and good will to all mankind. There is much to be thankful for, especially in America, this land of freedom, of equality at the bal lot box, and of innumerable blessings generally. Few there are among man. Kind who have not something to be grateful for. May the day be never so dark and dreary, there Is still the sun behind the clouds. Even among all the ills of Pandora's box there was hope at the bottom, after all, and be the night never so long and Hateful, there remains hope that joy cometh in the morning" Let us hope that all our charitable agencies will be more successful in sup plying the wants of those of our people whose homes are cheerless and desti- | tute than ever before. It is good to | know that in our beautiful city there are so many whose hearts and purses are ever open to the cries of the home less, the needy and the suffering.
 | To-day around the countless tables 1 grooming with delicacies, when eye re- | spends to eye and heart to heart at the l family reunions, let not the materialis- | tic alone predominate. Let thoughts l aspire to what is higher and nobler than l the qualification of appetite and the demolition of turkey. Let us not forget the sterling principles the sturdy piety of those brave men and women who
 landed upon this, to them foreign, shore and founded home in the will
 derness where they might worship the Creator according to the dictates of l their consciences. Let us not forget
 that nations prosper not that forget 1 God. Let us take this days opportuni- I ty to recall the fact that under God this nation has sprung up and prospered un- l til from handful it's population has
 become as numerous as the sands upon 1 the sea SnOfe, ana rom feeble band of
 settlers has become one of the mightiest
 nations of the earth,-"a nation built
 in day, going forward from strength to strength until it has absorb
 ed great part of one continent and
 now has become the possessor of i'm I portant islands of the sea and is about 1 reaching forth to take possession of far l off isles on the other side of the globe. I Our nation, this year, steps forth on a
 new career, and assumes new and great
 national responsibilities. Let us re-
 member in all the joy of the day to-day
 that "He who transplanted will sus-
 tain,' if we as nation heed the path
 of right and duty.

HOMECOMING INSECTS.
Caterpillars That Perforate Antler:
 in Africa and India.

Caterpillars That Perforate Antlers
 in Africa and India.
 A curious fact which for many years has proved a bone of contention among scientific men has just been de- cided. Sportmen and naturalists when hunting in India and Africa have from time to time had brought under their notice the horns of various species of deer and buffalo which have been more or less perforated by insects. On care full examination it was found that the little creatures which tunneled and made their home in the hard fibre of the horn were the caterDillars, or larvae of a moth, belonging to the same family as the common and all too familiar clothes-moth.
 From their diminutive size the moths belonging to the family have received the name of tinedae: and it has been | observed that they are ail more or less given to making their homes in strange places during the larval stage of their existence. The little larvae of our old enemy the clotnes-moth for instance, make for themselves protec- tive cylinders out of the cloth they so greedily devour.
 Sometimes these tubes present a very curious appearance owing to l their having been enlarged as the in- sect has grown and different colored materials used for the new portions of the old case. The larvae of another branch of this family deck themselves out with floral garments the calyyx of the flower of the common marjoram 1 being a very popular dress, while others are of a mining disposition, and love to excavate elaborate tunnels in i the leaves of the honeysuckle.
 ! Strange as these habits appear, 1t is | yet more wonderful that a species of these soft bodied insects should be 1 capable of boring into so hard a sub- < stance as the antlers of a deer. During i the forty-five or fifty years that these horn devouring larvae have been un- 1 der observation, the various stages of 1 their existence have been carefully noted, from the laying of the egg upon l the horn by the mother moth to the
 final appearance of her offspring as
 perfect male and female insects
 The larvae on emerging from the egg
 bore down into the horn, and when i they have eaten their ,all and are 1 ready for their chrysa1is sleep they 1 tunnel up to the surface, SO that they may have a convenient exit by which to make their escape when the pupal
 sleep is over and they have become perfect moths.
 But although so much of their life
 history was known, there still re-
 mained one problem unsolved. This
 knotty question was that no one knew 0 rfecniatrgu-- ?lloi1 saffu -cfc
 for certain whether these larvae at-
 tackled the horns and antlers of the buffalo and deer while the animals
 were alive or only after death After
 many years of speculation and con- f1icting opinions it has at last been l conclusively proved that these insects do infest the horns of living quadu- peds, for the news has just come to
 hand that both the larvae and
 chrysalis have been taken from the
 horns within an hour of the death of
 the animal to which they belonged

FASHION NOTES.
The Theatre Hat Renamed.

To-day is a matinee day. though theatres have strong competition for the afternoon with turkey and fix ings." Women who go will notice that their best dressed sisters are in elabor-
 ate shoulder wraps. Public opinion be- ing against wearing anything on the head at the theatre, even pronounced bows, fantastic elegance expends its extra energy on wraps. Many of these do not show a trace of any material calculated to convey warmth. Yards of tulle, chiffon, lace or crepe-de-chine are frilled, tucked and founced, making a foamy wonder that until it is on the

That fat Jack Fall staff, disreputable old fellow as he was, meant to imply no good of the Prince by his reference to quoits in Shake speare, and it is only a libel, though the sting is taken out of it by the fact that it is put into the mouth of Fal- staff.-From Physical Culture.

WHITE sUPREMAC CY IN THE so UTH


 Our white brethren of the southern States want to disfranchise the colored people of those States Absolute pro- lection against the possible danger of negro rule" as says the New Orleans Times-Democrat, has been secured thus in Mississippi, South Carolina and Louisiana, but Georgia, Alabama and Virginia are three other States in more or less political danger; in the event of a division of the whites" Georgia is already taking steps to shut out of the bulk of the negro vote Ala bama likewise, and Virginia will soon stand alone among the southern States in allowing negro suffrage.
 The New Orleans Picayune speaking of the operation of Louisiana's new constitution, predicts division of the white vote into two parties, and says: Such a division has been postponed in Louisiana by the act of President
  Mckinley in appointing to the federal offices in this State, leaders of the negro party, while the white Republicans, who are citizens of prominence and re- spectability, have been ignored. But the day will come when there will be two respectable white parties in Louis jana and other southern States, and such a consumrnation will be for the general good, because there will be two proper parties, each to watch the other
 The New York Sun speaking of the disfranchising project asks if with the blacks disfranchised the secession States are to be left free to have their present representation in congress and in the electoral vote. The New Orleans Times-Democrat faces this situation and says the south is ready to sacrifice, 1 in behalf of white supremacy, it's po- litical power, if it must be, though it doubts if southern representation could be reduced, under the fifteenth amendment to the constitution The Sun adds: That such reduction would be fair and equitable cannot be denied. Otherwise the political equilib- rum would be destroyed, those south ern States having disproportionate rep- resentation and consequently undue weight in legislation affecting the whole republic and in the election of a presi- dent. Of course, the representation of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louis jana, South Carolina and Virginia con- cerns us in New York not less than it does those States themselves. It may determine great questions of national politics to our serious injury; it might have brought about the election of MT. Bryan in 1896, with the consequent dis aster, which would have been even more terrible here than there.
 "The solid south undoubtedly, tends to provoke the rest of the Union, where there is reasonable division touching national policies, to resort to | such measures of self-protection

Now the highest court in the land has decided that in the game of chance nobody has any rights which anybody is bound to respect. Seven men bought a ticket in a lottery which drew $2525. They intrusted the draft sent in pay ment by the company to one of their number for collection and he hogged the whole pile. Efforts of the six to secure their pro rata of the find were unavailing in the state courts which said the whole business was illegal. And now the United States supreme court has thrown it out.

Twenty-One Millions of Candles.


It seems strange in this day of elec-
tricity that there can be found in part
Of the world where civilization has gone
people who are so generally given
over to candlelight as are the inhab-
itants of Sweden. In one year one
firm in Sweden manufactures, for the
trade of Sweden almost exclusively a.
100000 of candles of all sizes, from two
or three inches in height up to seven
feet. In spite of the introduction OF
electricity into the cities the people
keep using candles, and they even seem
to think them necessary part of their
household effects. During the weeks
from the latter part of May to the 1st
of July you will rarely find anyone dur
ing the night using an artificial light OF
any kind, for the nights are almost as
bright as day. If you choose to stay
up all night during the period of long
est days you can read the finest print
with ease at any time in the "a hours,
and you can make photographs, if you
so wish, all the night long, with capital
results. Up in Lapland, as late as the
25th of July, had excellent results in
making photographs at IL o'clock at
night, and at one and two o'clock in the
morning; and the only failure had was
in one case when gave even too much
time to the exposure.-W. S. HARDWOOD,
in st. Nicholas. ~ - g.

Fallacy About Flowers.

y Some experiments made recently in
Belgium tend to throw doubt on the
truth Of the assumption that insects
are guided to flowers by the brightness
of their colors. Brilliant -colored
dahlia, were covered so as to show
only the disks, and butterflies and bees
sought these flowers with the same
eagerness and frequency as those which
were fully exposed. The. conclus IN
reached that the insects were guided
by their sense Of smell rather than BY
their sight seems conclusive. Chicago
