THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.
George Washington Was Born ON It's
Anniversary.


Anniversary.
Tradition makes Thanksgiving in
this country legacy of the pilgrims
and Pugitans, but it was not only the
English colonies. but those of the New
Netherlands also, which made attempt
at yearly celebration of a day of gen
eral gratitude.
This week of recreation observed by
the Plymouth pilgrims was undoubt-
eddy much enhanced by Priscilla Mo-
lines rare culinary requirements.
When provisions were at low ebb
her deft hands prepared many an APP
petizing dish Of the plainest stores, and
the common house" under her super
Gentle Dame Brewster, whom Priscil-
la loved so tenderly, was strengthened
much by her kind ministrations. Natu-
rally John Alden had his share, and In
vain Miles Standish sought to be first
with the fair maid who prepared the
viands.
There is a suggestive coincidence in
this statement in "Young's Chronicle"
of Massachusetts, "The first Thanks
giving day on record in the colony of
Massachusetts was held Feb. %, 1881"
On that day century afterward was
born George Washington.
In 1915, the year in the history of
New England when the colonists
mOurned their dead, sacrificed to Indi-
an ferocity, that pregnant silence
which speaks as no words can fell
upon everything Wars and rumors
of wars were sad realities which blot
ted out the memories of all previous
privations and sufferings. The ever
present now was more than the set
tiers could grapple with. That year
they kept no Thanksgiving in Connect
lieut. colony. The next year light broke,
and Thanksgiving was again celebrat-
ed.-New York Mail and Express.

THE NATIONAL FEAST.
Thanksgiving's Chief Feature Is a
True American Bird.


The chief feature of the national
feast is a national bird The turkey
Notwithstanding DR.. Samuel Johnson in
his dictionary defined him as "a large
domestick fowl, supposed TO be
brought from Turkey" is true Amer
lean. Not hint of the existence of
this prince of fowls had the civilized
nations of the earth ever heard until
the year 1884, when the ancient voy-
ayers dropped anchor off Axacan, now
in North Carolina, then n part of what
was called Virginia, and, making
landing one beautiful day in midsum-
mer, reported that they had seen deer,
snow white cranes and a certain large
bird which epicures have since learned
to worship under the name of turkey.
His merits were quickly discovered
by the early explorers and adventur-
ers" from other countries, as the jour
nails of Captain John Smith, William
Byrd and their contemporaries attest,
and it was not long before he was to be
found on the tables of Europe. Brillat-
fame, called him 1.-THE most beautiful
present made by the new world to the
old" Formerly very abundant, the
wild turkey is now to be found only
In small flocks here and there in the
secluded glades of the Allegheny and
Blue Ridge mountains, in the Florida
wilds and on the plains of the far
southwest. Domesticated, the turkey
thriyes and multiplies the world over.
Handsome, golden, done to a turn,
seeming the room enough to tempt a
saint" and served with that peculiarly
savory New England production, cram
berry sauce, no one will dispute the
turkeys right to the sovereignty of the
Thanksgiving feast.

Early Industries of East Canaan.

kODAIu0S1-l A The next industry below Andrews & Stevens factory was q water power acd . shop on the river south of the Con- gregational church operated by Exc kiel Daboll in building fire engines, foot stoves and clothes pounders. The last two articles were patented by him. The frames of the stoves were of wood lined with perforated tin, cup inside for charcoal to warm the stoves. These stoves were much used in church and in travelling. Steam and hot air were not in use for warming churches The old time stoves did not uarm the floor consequently tn. foot stove supplied the want and kept the feet warm. A bail attached to the stove made it convenient to carry. Often have seen the ladies walking into the church and most of them carrying 6 foot stove. A few years since I saw one of these foot stoves in the old house on College Hill MT Daboll was offered fair price for his patients On stove and clothes pound CT but he refused to sell. The pounder was made of zine. It took the place Of the ola wooden pounders, and it was 8 neat affair and success. Perhaps our young ladies may not understand how it was used. will explain. Washing machines, rub boards. and wringers were not known at that time. A barrel lone head out) was used The clothes were placed in the barrel and warm suds poured on them; then the pounder was applied and the dirt was removed, or at least part of it. and the clothes were ready for the tub to be rubbed by hand.
 Later Wheeler Smith made oyster kegs in the Daboll shop. My last re- collection of the shop is when Jay A. Underwood used it as carpenter shop.
 Another industry near there was . tannery owned and operated by Capt Dunning and his son Havley. The building was in the rear of the store oc- cupied later by Lyman and George Duunins. If the tannery was on the river I do not know; should like to be informed. The plant WAS in use many years since. Beside making oyster kegs Wheeler Smith had a cooper shop near his house oppo>ite the church. He made me two meat barrels ffty-two years since.
 Another industry which I will men ton. A MT Sage operated . cooper shop near the house of Mrs Nelson Fox where he made large number of barrels. Later he moved into the Da- boil house opposite the church and built shop and made barrels there. Still later the shop was converted into house which WAS occupied by Isaac Dabon and family. MT Sage left Ca- naan.
