HARVEST HOME.


Thanksgiving IL q Day of Merry
making In Great Britain.
Thanksgiving day is more generally
observed in Great Britain than In any
other country, since it is one Of the
few occasions when the nobility and
peasantry in a sense unite in "making
merry" The day is better known
there as harvest home" being n
marking that period when the harvest
is in and the tenantry and peasantry
are given holiday.
FAs a rule, the nobleman or owner Of
estates makes the day one of continu-
eds enjoyment, when his grounds are
given Owe to his subjects and all man
ner Of games and outdoor sports are
carried out. In his castle or home
there is generally assembled a house
party, and the guests Join with the
host and hostess In making the day
n Of happiness for the tenantry.
The days pleasure is concluded by
what is known in this country as a
'barn dance" The decorations in this
ample place are significant Of the har-
vest, and the ceiling and walls have
adornment Of wheat in the most
beautiful designs. The music is always
Of the very best, and the owner of the
estate and his guests do their best to
make the occasion of great merri-
ment.
Many a story is told by the English
novelists of how the pretty village
maids, in their rosy cheeks and smart
frocks, make jealous their country
lovers when ~blushingly they accept the
attentions Of the young gallants Of the
nobility. On the other hand, the grand
danes in their satins and jewels grow
jealous of the country lasses in their
fresh beauty and taunt their knight
Grants for turning by their compli-
ments the heads of pretty peasantry."
Previous to the dances there are fire.

FELT OF A MAN-EATER,
The Thrilling Experience of Il Blind
Native of India with
Wild Tiger.

This is a story of blind man who,
unarmed, laid his hand upon a free
tiger and lived, unhurt, to tell the tale !;
lived to wish that he were dead. 1t is
the most extraordinary adventure
even in the thrilling annals of beast
ridden India.
The tiger was Il maC-eater of Mysore,
for which the government had offered
a reward of 500 rupees.
Many were his exploits. He would
bound into a crowd of travellers on the
high road and bear one of them away,
or snatch the driver from the seat of
a creaking bullock cart.
He would even enter villages and
break into huts with great blows of
his powerful paws and drag forth his
prey.
There was a poor Dher, a lowcaste
man, who was not allowed to live in
the village, but dwelt with his wife
and baby in a low hut on its outskirts.
He was poor, extremely poor, anil
blind.
One night this man was walked by a
strange shutlling, snuilling noise in the
hut.
Upon the nameless odors of an In
dian interior two new smells impressed
themselves. He knew what they meant
later.
The man called; no voice answered.
Night was as day in his sightless eyes.
He crawled about the hut with a blind
mans noiseless step, feeling his way
with tremulous extended hand.
He neared the corner of the hut
where his wife lay, prone upon the
floor, and stopped. Wrist deep his
inquiring hand thrust itself into deep
fur,
In flash he knew; he had heard and
smelled the tiger in his hut; had
punched the great man-ea ter's ribs. He
waited for death.
One startled instant the tiger waited,
then bounded from the hut, quick to
suspect danger in the blind mans ap-
parently bold advance, leaving the man
unscathed.
The Dher was left alone. Lower he
stopped, until his hanels rested upon
the lifeless forms of his wife and child;
were dabbled with the red blood that
gushzd from their mangled bodies
where the great brute's noiseless paw
lad fallen.-Wide World Magazine.

WAKING DREAMS.

Between mine eyelids and mine eyes,
Like red and satin poppy leaves,
Lie soft the dreams of Paradise.
They linger when my spirit srieves;
They quench the fever in my brain,
And kiss my hopes to life again,
ketween mine eyelidS and mine eyes.
Between mine eyelids and mine eyes.
Like star-beams melting into peace,
Drift on the visions out of skies
Wherein eternal years increase;
lose my anchorage to earth,
And fosl the light of second birth
BetwSsa mine eyelids and mine eyes.
Betwevx uine eyeliG3 and mine eyes.
With lSv>'s bright mystery and grace.
My precie,ds friends without disguise.
With benedictions in each face,
Walk slowly midst the trees and flowers.
Or sleep within the garden bowers
Between mine eyelids and mine eyes.
Between mine eyelids and mine eyes
A wandering spirit sweet as sleep
Comes singing where the daylight dies:
And tuneful founts of tears aleap
Begem the path her footsteps trod;
In hers my dim-eyed soul saw God,
Between mine eyelids and mine eyes.
Between mine eyelids and mine eyes.
/ live and conquer, see and know.
o let my spirit on this wise
Along the trackless confines go!
No other universe so sweet
As this-forever bright, complete
Between mine eyelids and mine eyes.
