Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The President has issued the
following proclamation
"a national custom dear to the
hearts of the people calls for the
setting apart of one day in each
year for special thanksgiving to
Almighty God for the blessings
of the preceding year. This
honored observance acquires
with time a tenderer significance.
1t enriches domestic life; it sum-
mons under the family roof the
absent children to glad reunion
with those they love.
Seldom has this nation had
greater cause for profound
thanksgiving. No great pesti-
lence has invaded our shores.
Liberal employment waits upon
labor. Abundant crops have re-
warded the efforts of the husband
man. Increased comforts have
come to the home. The national
finances have been strengthened
and public credit has been sus-
tanned and made firmer. In all
branches of industry and trade
there has been an unequalled de-
gree of prosperity, while there
has been a steady gain in the
moral and educational growth of
our national character.
s'ChurcheS and schools have
fourished. American patriotism
has been exalted. Those engag-
ed in maintaining the honor of
the flag with such signal success
have been in a large degree
spared from disaster and disease.
An honorable peace has been
ratified with a foreign nation
with which we were at war and
we are now at friendly relations
with every power on earth.
"The trust which we have as
sumed for the benefit of the
people of Cuba has faithfully ad-
vanced. There is marked pro-
gress toward the restoration of
healthy industrial conditions,
and under wise sanitary regula-
tions the island has enjoyed un-
usual exemption from the
scourge Of fever. The hurricane
which swept over our new pos
sessions of Porto Rico, destroy
ing the homes and property of
the inhabitants, called forth the
instant sympathy of thee people
of the United States who were
swift to respond with generous
aid to the sufferers.
''For these reasons and count
less others, l, William Mckinley,
president of the United States,
do hereby name Thursday, the
Both day of November next, as o
day of general thanksgiving and
prayer. WILLIAM MCKINLEY" "

JOHN MoRGAN's END.
The Place Where the Famous Con.
federnte Leader Breathed
His Last.

I was on my way by bicycle to the
Great Smoky mountains, via Knox
vile, when overtaken by night a few
miles from the little town of Greene
vile, in East Tennessee. / had been
looking for 30" curious mollusk
living in the streams of this region,
but recent rains had flooded and mud
died them. My ill success and the
roughness of the stony roads made
the miles between myself and supper
long ones, but finally the last one
rolled beneath my tires and, dog tired,
tumbled off my wheel in front of
the first hotel l saw, the Morgan inn.
The name aroused my curiosity, and
it was not long before / learned that
it was in memory of Capt. John H.
Morgan, and that the inn, formerly
the williams mansion" was the
scene of the final act in the life of the
notorious raider
1t was early in July of 1863 that
Morgan, with his 1000 men, swan
their horses over the Cumberland on
their way to the Ohio. The raids of
the preceding year, when Morgan
made life miserable to the union
forces in Kentucky, had trained the
tough Kentucky cavalrymen for the
desperate work now on hand. The
novelty of carrying his warfare of
plunder and robbery into the rich
country north of the Ohio appealed to

land Is to n Large Extent Her
own Housekeeper.

Notwithstanding the enormous
amount of business with which she has
to deal, the queen is to a large extent
her own housekeeper. The first thing
every morning a paper of suggestions
from the clerk of the kitchen is placed
before her, from which in her own hand
she orders the menus of the day, both
for herself and such of her grandchil-
dren as may be 9Th her. These menus
are at once sent TO the kitchens, gardens
and other departments concerned, to
obtain the viands required; and their
contents duly entered, together with
the quantities of matrials used, in the
books which are kept in tho royal
kitchen.
The queens chef receives a salary of
G 500 per annum, and has as satellites
four master cooks, two yoemen of the
kitchen, two assistant cooks, six ap-
prentices, and six kitchen maids, be-
sides pantrymen and other lesser lights.
In addition to the great kitchen at
Windsor, there are the greenroom, for
vegetables, and the confectionery and
pastry kitchen. This last is most i'm
portant department, controlled by a
confectioner with six assistants, and
fitted in the most complete manner.
All her majesty's favored cakes, bis
cults, pastry, ETC., are made here, and
sent by special messengers several
times a week to whichever of her resi-
dences the court may be staying at.
All stores at Windsor are under prop
er supervision, no materials being
served without proper requisition
signed by the head of the department
concerned. Not bag of dog biscuits
can even be ordered for the kennels un-
less on the printed form. In fact, the
whole establishment is practically as
methoGically conducted as any great
London business. This method, which
was evolved by her majesty and the late
prince consort out of the chaos which
descended from the days of George w.,
entirely does away with waste, extrava-
gance, and moreover enables her majes-
ty to exercise that wise control over her
finances which enables her to keep the
grandest establishment on relatively
the smallest royal income in Europe

FATS HAVE MANY USES.
Housckecpcrs VIII Not Neg
Iect to Put In Practice.

There are many fats that can be used
in cooking. All of these should be saved
by themselves for culinary purposes.
Fresh pork fat should always be saved,
as it is as nice as lard for frying. Nut
ton and lamb fat, however, is, strong
and of no culinary value. Beef fat is
valuable for frying, but should be mixed
when tried out with about half its bulk
of lard or tried out in chicken fat. A
combination of various meat fats used
in the kitchen makes better medium
for frying than pure lard and is more
wholesome. Butter is the poorest fat
for frying. 1t cannot be successfully
used in deep frying, as doughnuts and
croquettes are fried, because it burns
before it can be heated to the proper
temperature. Keep two separate jars
for cooking fats, one for coarse fats,
the other for finer. Those jars of a
half gallon size, with straight sides like
butter jars, are the best for the pur-
pose. For keeping soap fats lard
pail of the size that holds five pounds
when filled is the cheapest and most
convenient to use. Try out all the
pieces OF fat until only scraps are left.
Fry a slice of raw potato in it to clarity
it if the fat is used in cooking, and pour
it into the jar in which the general fat
is kept Save chicken fat, which is
delicate enough to use in place of olive
oil for dressing, in small jar by itself.
Turkey fat is too strong to use in cook
ing, but, like lamb and mutton fats, it
should be tried out, but strained into
the soap fat. 1t pays to keep this fat
clean and to strain it as it is tried out
from time to time. 1t is easy to keep a
supply of soft soap in the house from
this source, which will be very valuable
for house cleaning and washing up
greasy pots and kettles, even ii it is
used for no other purpose.-N. Y. Trib-
une.

SOME ODD MARRIAGES.
How Husband and Wife Are Made
One In NeEulOs, One of Our Phil
ippine Possessions.

The marriage customs of the Negu.
los are peculiar. The young man who
seeks bride first obtains the favor of
her parents and then pursues her,
catching her in his arms. She breaks
loose and runs, and does not yield I'M
til he has caught her several times.
Finally he leads her in triumph to her
home. Here her father drags the youth
up a ladder to the floor of their hut.
The mother drags up the maiden. They
are then made to kneel, and the father
pours over them a cocoanutshellful of
water. He then bumps their heads to-
gether, and the ceremony is completed.
They spend their honeymoon in the
depths of the mountains and for five
days and nights are lost to sight, after
which they come back to everyday life.
There is another marriage custom
which is worth describing. Instead of
the youth and maiden being dragged
up the hut ladder, they are made to
climb two saplings that grow near
each other Then an elder of the group
grasps the saplings and draws them
together until the heads of the young
couple touch, with kiss or bump,
according to the force used. This makes
ehem man and wife.-Forum.

THE GENERALS JOKE.
A Civil War Incident which Illus
trntes the Humor of Certain
Situations.

seen. Gordon" said Capt. Ludwig,
"tells some capital stories to illustrate
the good fellowship that existed be-
tween the officers and enlisted men of
the confederate army. Reading the his
tory of the operations of the union
army gives one the impression that
there was no such familiarity and fell
lowship between officers of the regular
army like Thomas and Mcpherson and
their men. But remember an incident
at the crossing of Big Black river in
January, 1864, that shows Mcpherson
in his true character.
"The Twentieth Illinois had reenlist-
ed as veterans on the understanding
that the men were to have 30 days fur
lough in their own state. But few
days after reenlistment, when the Six
teenth and Seventeenth corps started to
tear up the railroad from jackson to
Meridian, the Twentieth was ordered
forward on what the boys knew was to
be long campaign. They were natural
ly disappointed and irritated, and when
they marched down to cross the river
there was a good deal of grumbling and
swearing.
"When they came to the river Gen.
Mcpherson, always the superb soldier,
was supervising the details of crossing.
He was one of the best engineers in the
army, and he had a way of looking after
bridges and pontoons himself. AS the
boys caught sight of him, just as they
were about to step on the pontoon
bridge, they began to shout: Thirty
days in your own state. Yah, 80 days in
your own state Mcpherson turned and
said, somewhat sternly: What does
this uproar mean? What are those men
talking about?'
"One man in the ranks, bolder than
the others, said: General, we relisted
with the promise of 3O-days' furlough
in our own state, and here we are or
dered off, with no chance of getting in
to our own state. Is that fair?' The
general smiled, and said: 'Reenlisted,
have you? That's good. In what state
did you reenlist" Some man answered:
Mississippi 'Ah,' said the general.
that's all right. 1t looks, boys, as
though you were going to get 3O-days'
furlough in your own state; that is, the
state in which you reenlisted. But the
other matter will be all right, men;
every man in this command will be
treated fairly And away the boys
went, laughing over the generals joke
and strong in the faith that Mcpherson
would see them through.
''It was on this same march or raid
that Forces brigade, with the Twen-
tieth Illinois in advance, was sent to de-
stroy a bridge. We struck suddenly a
brigade of confederate cavalry at break
fast, and we charged on them in way
to stampede the whole command. The
story of that engagement is told very
graphically in the history of the war,
but there is one incident that is not
