UNTO GOD GIVE THANKS.

The beautiful custom of setting apart
one day in the year for thanksgiving
unto God originated in the conviction
that God is; that he is over all, the
fountain of all blessing, the sovereign
ruler and disposer of all events; that,
however men may plan and prosecute,
With him are the issues of life. In this
conviction the custom is continued year
by year and should be religiously
maintained. Of all our national holt
days it may be made the most benefi-
cial and useful if observed in the spirit
of the recommendations embraced in
the proclamations by the president and
by the governors of the several states.
Pity that it should be allowed to de-
generate, as the tendency seems to be,
into mere occasion for unseemly
festivity and revelry and excessive
feasting Intelligencer.

THANKSGIVING SUGGESTS.

To the mind of the American at
large things called up at the mention
of no other holiday in the nations an
nals-a day of rest, day of RETROSPECT
ton, day of thanks for much that is
here enjoyed alone, day of feasting.
To the New Englander there is an add
ed suggestion of whitened ground win
ter skies, rugged hills and the faint
echo Of the angry sea pounding upon
the barren coast where pilgrims first
set foot to found nation of freemen in
years to come. Stern and rugged men
were they capable alone of Drawing
the wild and unknown land about,
strong in faith that made the small
rays of sunshine and hope which came
to them through the clouds of adver-
sity cause for thanksgiving. So it is
that time has associated with the day
the memory of these sturdy pioneers

SURVIVAL OF THANKSGIVING.

Days set apart annually for national
thanksgiving or humiliation are not
likely to be long observed unless there
are good and abiding reasons for their
appointment. Even in overconservative
England the days once kept in COM
memoration of the nations deliverance
from the gunpowder plot and of the
murder of Charles have for many years
ceased to figure among Anglican holt
days and barely retain the notice Of
the penny almanacs. That the institu-
ton of Thanksgiving day in America,
originally prescribed by the Puritans
as a substitute for Christmas day,
should have survived almost to the
close of the present century is there
fore presumptive evidence of it's pro-
priety and it's necessity.-New York
Herald.

ANOTHER SWORD FOR sCHLEY

Col. Wharton J. Green favors pre-
senting Rear-Admiral Schley with a
sword, saying that the hero of Santiago
deserves as we'll of the country as
Dewey deserves. Every whit as much,
for beyond all cavil or doubt Santiago
was as great an achievement as Manila.
We believed it surpassed it. Whining

Before I give definite answer to
your proposal of marriage, Mr. Toxic
we'll, the Boston maiden said, in calm
even tones, II must know what your
convictions are in reference to our duty
toward the English sparrow"
Miss Howjames,' replied the young
man, my position as regards that per-
secuted but interesting bird is Identical
with that of Thoreau."
Rather than confess that she could
not at the moment remember any
thing Thoreau had ever written con-
corning the English sparrow problem,
the proud Boston maid slowly yielded.

RAISING TURKEYS.
Eggs Must be of One Date-Young
PouIts Need Lots of Room.

The turkeys roost out in trees the
year through, and few are lost. In the
spring the eggs are gathered with
great care, and each one is dated
Seventeen eggs of as nearly the same
date as possible are placed under a
hen, but when the first few have been
Matched the mother wants to leave the
nest and leave the other eggs to their
fate. She is coaxed to return to re-
sumo her maternal duties, however,
by dainty meals Of dough.
When the little turkeys, or poults,
are couple of days old, they are re-
moved with their mother to a remote
part Of a field and placed in triangu-
lar pen. Four broods are given 20
acre field, and if more were placed
within such limits it would be regard
ed as dangerous to the health of the
young ones. AS a result of this system,
it takes considerable ground to afford
space for 80 or 40 broods, and the task
of feeding them all means a three or
four mile walk
For the first four weeks the poults
are given sour milk to drink instead of
water. After that cracked corn is
mixed with the meal, and the quantity
is gradually increased, until, at or
10 weeks old, their food consists solely
of cracked corn. In the latter part of
October they are given all the corn
they can eat. White flint corn, new
and old mixed, is considered the best
fattener and, moreover, it gives the
flesh the fine flavor that Thanksgiving
epicures sigh for.
Turkeys Matched in May weigh at
Thanksgiving time is to 20 pounds for
gobblers and 10 to II pounds for hens.

HOW THANKSGIVING is MADE.

Only five days more and then comes
Thanksgiving and turkey and cram
berry sauce and mince pie. Two weeks
ago President Cleveland sent out a
proclamation in which he invited all
the people in the United States to a big
Thanksgiving party, so to speak. Since
then forty-fve governors have called
on the residents of their states to sit
up and have piece of turkey. After
the dinner the boys and girls who live
in the north may go skating or sleigh
riding, if the weather is good, or have
a snow battle on the school ground.
In the south the boys will set out with
their guns and their dogs for a hunt,
expecting to bring home long string
Of quails, coons, rabbits, or 'possums,
while the girls take horseback ride
or visit their friends.
Thanksgiving is as old as this coun-
try. The first regular proclamation
was issued by President George Wash
ington in 1889. In those days the
news could not be telegraphed all
over the country in an hour, and the
call of the president for a day of
thanksgiving was issued early in Octo-
Der, SO that messengers on horseback
and coach mails could carry it to the
remotest corners of the land.
Washingtons example in the way Of
issuing proclamation was not fol-
lowed by all his successors. The prac-
tice stopped with him, and was not re-
vived until Lincoln became president.
Since then, however, every succeeding
president has issued proclamation.
There is a good deal of form and
ceremony about the making Of this
document.
1t is composed by the president him
self, which, you know, is not true of all
state papers, and in most instances,
written out in his own hand. When
this is done, the document goes to the
state department, where it is carefully
copied in ornamental writing that is
almost like engraving, on the official
blue paper of that department. The
next thing needed on the document Is
the great seal of the government. This
seal is kept by the clerk of pardons
and commissions, and it is very care
fully guarded under lock and key. It's
keeper will not get it without a special
warrant signed by the president, and
an impression of the seal is quite a
ceremony in itself. When the procla-
nation has been thus duly signed and
sealed, many copies are made of it by

THANKSGIVING PUDDING.
Rich and Toothsome Enough to Tempt
a Stated Appetite.

Good Housekeeping gives the follow
ing recipe for Thanksgiving pudding:
Soak a pint of cracker crumbs in
pints of milk for half an hour; wash
2 cupfuls of California seedless raisins;
boil them in water to cover while the
crumbs are soaking. Mix cupful of
sugar, teaspoonful of salt and half
teaspoonful each Of cinnamon and nut
meg; add tablespoonful of butter
and beat until creamy. Beat in eggs,
one at time, beating each until none
of the yolk is seen before adding an
other; then stir this into the milk, into
which the raisins have been stirred
without the water in which they were
cooked. Butter a deep pudding dish
thick with cold butter, turn in the pud-
ding and cover it. Bake in moderate
oven. During the first hour occasion
ally stir up the pudding from the bot
tom to keep the raisins on top. Bake
3 hours in all, removing the cover at
the last to brown it. 1t should whey a

McKINLEY'S PREFERENCE.
He Likes Turkey Roasted Brown, With
Sausage Flavoring.

/ like my turkey roasted, but not
stuffed. Now, shades of a man of New
England ancestry! Dynamite is too
good for such fellow! But still dom
like my turkey stuffed. I like II
pound animal with lots of fat on him
and butter spread all over him. I want
him roasted brown. I think it is 20
minutes to a pound of turkey, not
counting the first few minutes while
he is getting used to the oven. But
don't want anything inside of him. A
spiced stuffing ruins the flavor of the
meat and gives Indigestion. How do I
like him served? Oh, I like him with
a string of sausages over his breast as
a flavoring and with a lemon for a
head. That is a good way to serve a
turkey. You can boil the lemon
awhile and make it soft, to be sliced
and eaten like pickle if you want to.
My turkey is an Ohio bird. ] forgot to
mention that. Have you ever eaten
an Ohio turkey? No? Then you don't
know what it is to give thanks for your
Thanksgiving dinner. Do you want
the rest of the menu? No? I am sorry,
because know a good dinner from be-
ginning to end.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

THANKSGIVING IN NEW ENGLAND

Much time and attention are be-
slowed by the housewife on the
Thanksgiving dinner. In New Eng
land the feasting does not begin and
end with the day, as it does in the
middle and western states. There
great bakings take place many days
before the time set for Thanksgiving,
and the broad shelves of the pantry are
covered with mince, cranberry, pump
kin and ounce pies. Cranberry sauce
and stewed barberries fill molds and
bowls. Loaves of soft, fragrant gin
gerbread are stored away until one
week before the time, when a ounce
pie finds it's way to the breakfast table,
fanked by plate of sugared dough-
nuts. At one meal of the day there
will be a Thanksgiving dainty until
the grand aggregation on the day itself,
but it is only an appetizer-no danger
of spelling the final effect.-Exchange

PILGRIM GOOD CHEER.

Game was brought in from the woods
in abundance, from venison, which
they knew we'll how to roast, to the
partridge, which is never so good as
when boiled on the skewer. And, above
all, they had the turkey, of which they
found ''a great store" in the forest
the turkey thus early crowned queen
of their bounty, and to which example
their descendants, even though they
may have failed to initiate them in
other respects, have always been loyal.
These savory meats all garnished their
tables throughout that festival. Ket-
ties, skillets and spices were over
worked, while thus their knives and
spoons, kindly assisted by their fingers,
made merry music on their pewter
plates. Nor were these viands without
the company of the barley loaf and the
cakes of Indian meal, more highly
priced then than wheat fed millions
can imagine.-Selected.

RELIGIOUS OBsERVANCEs.

Ever since the game dinners eaten by
Governor Bradford's constituents and
their Indian allies 275 years ago,
Thanksgiving day has been feast day,
and a day for family reunions. People,
especially New Englanders, go back to
their old homes by thousands to enjoy
it with "the old folks" or, if obliged to
stay away, celebrate it wherever they
are in New England style. Less and
less attention is paid to the religious
observances, and while in the old
times long sitting in chilly meet
ing house while the parson ponderous-
ly progressed from his text to fifteenth
ly, my BRETHREN" was the universal
prelude to the prandial exercises, there
are now comparatively few attendants
at church on Thanksgiving morning

THANKSGIVING.

Old Time has turned full many page
In my dull book of life
Since I in burning words beseeched
Fair Prue to be my wife.
Methinks I still can hear her voice
So mournfully decline
The offer that I made and say
She'd ne'er be wife of mine.
The world has sped its f1eeting way
Adown the paths of space
Since that faroff Thanksgiving day,
But time will ne'er efface
The mem'ry of her gentle ''No"
That babe my hopes depart,
To leave me-ah, it seemed so then!-
Naught save broken heart.
Thanksgiving days have hurried by
Twoscore of them, I guess.
The gloomy shroud that wrapped me
then
Is gone, I must confess.
She's married-yes, Prue married-and
Her husbands hair turned gray.
Mayhap that's why SO gratefully
| render thanks today.

WATCH THE ADVERTISING Bah

Govern your advertising as you
would your child. When it is young
feed it carefully and nurture it tender
ly. About the only comfort you'll get
out of it at this stage is thinking what
it's going to be if it lives.
When it begins to creep keep your
eye on it from morning to night. It'll
get itself and you into serious trouble
if you are not careful.
A little later when it walks alone
you'll either have to keep a fatherly
eye on it or hire a trained servant to
do so. If you don't, it'll get into evil
ways.
Study it as it grows; don't let it get
away from your influence day. It'll
begin to bring money into the family
early if it's brought up rightly.
After it's past it's boyhood days you
can lean upon it. Don't let it fall into
it's second childhood.
If it passes the teething, Group and
measles period you can safely calculate
upon it's survival to a ripe old age
unless you starve it to death.-Plain
Talk.

WHAT FIVE YEARS HAVE DONE.

There are lights and shadows in the
picture, but the preceding tables show
us that the United States are progress
ing favorably:
l. Population advances at a slower
pace than ever before recorded, which
IS due not merely to restricted laws
against immigrants, but also to a
diminution of natural increase arising
apparently from higher deathrate.
2. Import trade has fallen off 80 per
cent. in five years, partly owing to
changes in the tariff, partly to a fall
of prices, partly to the development of
home manufactures. On the other
hand, exports have risen by $40O, 0OO,-
00O
3. Manufacturing industry appears
to have grown prodigiously, the con-
sumption of raw material showing an
increase all around Of about SO per
cent. in five years.
4. Agricultural interests are prosper
GUS as regards tillage, the area under
grain having risen 100000 acres
since 1898, but pastoral farming seems
to have suffered, the number of live
stock falling 25,O00,O00 the value being
Sc, 100000 less.
5. Mining shows a great increase in
the production of gold, copper and Pc
troleum, while there has been, OF
| course, decline in the output of silver.
6. Finances have been deranged by
heavy fall of import dues and an in
crease of expenditure resulting from
the war with Spain. The deficit of
1898 reached $103, 000,vv0 Public debt
has risen $250,000,0O0 since 1893.
Z. Money actually in circulation has
risen $241 100000, entirely in gold,
silver and paper money showing no
sensible change. At the same time the
treasury has had an increase of $15,-
100000 in gold and $22, 900 in silver.
8. Banking business, to judge by the
national banks, has increased 80 per
cent. in five years, or three times as
fast as population, an unquestionable
proof of the general prosperity of the
union
Notwithstanding the increase in
mileage, the gross receipts of railroads
| fell $50, 100000, the net profits $21, O0O,-
900.
10. The tonnage of port entries has
risen 80 per cent, but this has been
entirely in ships carrying foreign flags
The merchant shipping of the United
States shows a steady decline
IL. Public instruction progresses
steadily, the average daily school at
tendance increasing much faster than
population. School expenditure Is
three times as much as in the United
Kingdom.
II. Land grants to settlers and farm
ers average 100000 acres yearly, and
the area under farms is at present
approximately 7O7 100000 acres, Of
which one-third is under crops, two
thirds under pasture.-Mulhall' Give
