It's English Counterpart.

Our American Thanksgiving festival
has its counterpart in the harvest home
of England. only the latter comes in mid
October, says writer in the Evening
Post of New York. | recall attending
such a service of gra titude in London at
the quaint old church of st. Giles, Grip
plegate, well known as the burial-place
of John Milton. The old customs, the
high Pews, the solemn procession of cler-
gy, aldermen and beadle made an i'm
press of old-time traditions and honor
ings that was most delightful. At the
head of each pew against the oaken cary
ing was tied a small English nosegay of
garden flowers and sWeet-scented herbs,
marigolds, princes feather, purple asters,
sweet lavender, rosemary, and the like.
And then, at the foot of the central
aisle, just within the doorway, where all
the people could walk about it as they
came in and went out, was a tall wooden
pyramid with circular shelves graduated
in size. upon which the luscious fruits
were piled. The heavy clusters of grapes
dropped from the edges. and above were
golden and crimson masses of color, with
the heaps of oranges and apples, while in
proper place, below again, was the yield
of the garden, the meadow, and the field.
There was a glow and a sentiment
through the whole that stirred the heart,
at the call of choir and clergy, to instant
and hearty response.

Settlements for Women.

An important experiment will shortly
be made in England, with the object of
forming settlements of women in differ
ent parts of the country for the cultiva-
ton of the land, and thus enabling them
TO add to their incomes by the sale of
fruits, flowers, vegetables, poultry, eggs
honey, etc. The idea was started by the
Countess of Warwick. and an institution
will be opened in connection with Read
ing college in October, where they may
be trained specially for the work. 1t
will be founded for the definite purpose
Of enabling women over the age of Is to
obtain q thorough training Theoretical
and PRACTICAL III the lighter branches of
agriculture, viz: Flower and fruit grow
ing. and packing for market, especially
bush fruit. tomatoes. mushrooms, etc,
bee and poultry keeping and dairy work.
The council of Reading college has con-
scented to provide the necessary courses
of instruction. and to recognize the
Countess of Warwick's hostel as a place
Of residence for women students. The
full course of instruction will extend over
two years, but those who wish to do so
may join the short courses and special
classes. 1t is hoped that the inclusive
fees for instruction and board will not
exceed $3.50 a year.

Ginseng Root Becomes Scarce.

The digging of ginseng root for the
Chinese market is an American industry
not generally known, and an industry,
moreover, that will never be overdone.
Ginseng root is becoming scarcer every
year. 1t is of slow growth, requiring two
years to form leaf and eight or ten to
make a root of any value. The age of the
root is determined by a little ring added
each year 60 the plant. 1t is highly val
ued by apothecaries here, but even more
so in China, where it can be gathered only
by permission of the Emperor. 1t is popu-
larly supposed there to combat fatigue and
to Indefinitely postpone old age. 1t takes
three pounds of the green roots to make
one pound of the dry product, which
brings from 81 to So per pound. The
diggers leave a piece of the root in the
ground to grow, and plant the seed, which
when ripe, is inclosed in a pinkish pod.
The Canadian Jesuits were the first to
begin the shipment of the root to China.

The Newest" Shake.

A California man has invented "health
shake or invigorating rafting machine,
which is warranted to provide in ten min
utes all the exercise a man needs in q
day. The candidate for general shake
up stands on an oscillating platform, and,
when all is ready, the current is turned
on from a dynamo. The intensity of the
motion is under control, and varies from
a gentle thrill to dancing a jig. Under
a strong current every muscle is en-
ployed in preserving the perpendicular.
The legs are rapidly developed, and the
effect on the liver is said to be better
than that of horseback riding. Whether
the machine ever throws the patient or
gets into a bucking humor is a point not
covered in the descriptiOn.

Channie,s Queer Turkey.

Chappie. aged 4, sat on the front steps
and thought about it. AT last he drew a
long breath and said:
u Wonder.'
What do you wonder?'' asked Annette
from the rockingham inside.
DO you spose that turkey knows he's
going to be killed for Thanksgiving y
propounded Chappie, abruptly.
'Couldn't say, Chappie," answered An

Perhaps / will" nodded Chappie. He
watched the turkey from the window long
after he was called into the house. The
turkey seemed to enjoy life. He strutted
up and down, and looked as contented
and dignitied as if he expected to live q
hundred years. Chappie's eyes grew
sleepy watching him. But presently the
little boys eyes opened to their widest
extent, for the turkey stepped up to the
window, and pecking at the frame, COB
bled out:

Seventh avenue and One Hundred and
Thirty fourth street, where there is a fac
totum of the name of Philippe, unsophis-

heard a good deal about the fair Anna s
lactescent additions, Philippe determined
to anticipate her orders for a morning
tub. The proprietor caught him on the
way to Annals apartments with tin of
condensed milk in one hand and a can
opener in the other. What are you go

The Metric System in Denmark.

Great Britain having adopted the metric
system to the advantage of her merchants
and manufacturers, is now seeking to have
provided a decimal currency in order to ia
cilitate commerce. Danish merchants
have for many years complained about the
Danish weights and measures in use. as
they do not agree with those ruling in any
other country. News now comes from
Copenhagen, through the United States
vice and deputy consul there, that bin
has just been introduced III the Danish
Diet recommending the adoption in Den
mark of the metric weights and measures
system. The consensus of opinion is that
it will become a law, to take effect as soon
as possible.

A Noted THANKSGIVING Incident.
In 1875 Esther, the beautiful daughter
of Jonathan Edwards, then only 20 years
of ace. was married to Rev. DR.. Burr,
then president Of Princeton college,
which was then located at EllzabethtoWn,
n. J. In November of the following year
the doctor and his young wife undertook
the then long and tedious journey by
stagecoach to Stockbridge, in Western
Massachusetts. to keep Thanksgiving
with father and mother and nine broth
ers and sisters After Il more than three
days tiresome ride. the stagecoach drew
up in front of quaint old house which
is still standing. AS the young wife
alighted and went into the open door of
her old home. her mother met her and,
with maternal pride. the daughter laid

face of Aaron Burr, her grandson.
The grandfather was already famous
as a profound metaphysician, and sub
tie theologian. The father was q schol-
arly divine who was labOring hard to adj

of which he was president.
The baby, Aaron Burr. who had all his
life of 81 years before him. became a bril-
liant scholar, graduated at Princeton col
lege, was a successful politician and
elected vice-president of the United
States, and came within one vote of be-
ing elected president.
Aaron Burr was brave soldier in the
War of the Revolution, but for some rea-
son was never on friendly terms with
Washington. He lacked moral principle,
was intriguing and quarrelsome, and in
a duel which he provoked, killed Alex
ander Hamilton, which branded him with
disgrace.
