The GLAD dOMECOMlNG.
So come, we sons and daughters,
From restless city strife;
Come ere you lose your relish
For the quiet joys of life;
Come back, We rowing children,
From prairies far and wide
And cluster round the hearthstone
Once more at eventide.
Take up your song of childhood
And sing it Ger again;
Forget that we are matronS
Or business loving men,
And If your eyes grow misty
Rejoice that it is so;
A heart sincerely tender
Is the purest one to know.
Remember, with your loved ones
Life's lamp doth feebly burn;
Your parents may not linger
To greet a late return.
Forget them not, though patient;
Oh, come now while you mayl
Praise God; rejoice together
On this Thanksgiving day.

pare and cook turkey properly. The
scribe confessed ignorance.
"Get you a half pint of good old

Everything. Saturate enough corn
In the whisky to soak up all the spir-

old fellow will like it. First thing you
know he feels his oats, or, more, prop

to the breeze, trail his wings on the
ground and map off circles under the
impression that he owns the earth and
is the boss of everything on it. He will
fluff up his feathers. wrinkle his neck
and look intensely serious, all the
while splitting the atmosphere into
small chunks. By and by the old boy
gets to staggering, his gobbling is more
frequent, but less coherent, he gives a
lurch backward and another forward,

TO Keep a Small Quantity of Celery.
The plan usually adopted where but
small quantity of celery is to be
stored for winter use is to bank up
with earth and cover where grown.
Place enough earth around the base of
the plants to hold them in good form
and then allow them to remain with
out any further banking as long as
there Is not danger of a hard frost.
When absolutely necessary to do so,
the earth should be thrown up to the
very tops of the plants. almost cover
ing them; then, as the weather be-
comes colder, cover the ridge with
coarse stable manure. straw or corn

or old boards. Celery will withstand

THANKSGIVING
POETRY

BACK to the home of childhood,
~ Though scattered far and wide,
y Back to the dear old kitchen
Yes, back to your mothers side
Come, kiss her wrinkled forehead,
Her hair. as white as snow,
And sit down on her footstool,
AS in the long ago.
While father bends above you
Weak with the weight of years,
His trembling voice with gladness,
His dim eyes filled with tears.
To both the greatest pleasure
The year brings on its way
Is this: The glad homecoming
Upon Thanksgiving day.
Once more the rooms re-echo
From kitchen, stairs and hall,
The sound of old time voices
And merry dinner call,
While many sweet grandchildren,
With laughter light and gay,
Come pressing round the table
This glad Thanksgiving day.

Centuries In Building.

Persons who are disposed to grumb1e
at the length of time required to finish
public buildings should take heart
from the example of the Cathedral of
St Peter, in Cologne. That structure
was 6S2 years in building. 1t was be.
gun In H4S and was pronounced com.
pleted in 1880. The great Cathedral
Of Milan was begun in 1886 and was
not completed until 1895, 419 years lat
er. Rostermel castle, in Cornwall, took
ninety years to build, and one-third
Of that time was employed in exeavat-
ing for the foundation. The late Lord
Butte was engaged for over twenty
years in building his great palace in
the isle of Butte, and his successor is
still at work On it. The palace Of the
Dukes Of Athol, in Scotland, has been
building since 1880, and the work is
still going on. In the cases Of the 9th
er buildings mentioned, however, the
money for their construction did not
come entirely out Of the pockets Of the
taxpayers, which, after all, makes a
considerable difference as to the mat
ter Of looking at it.

Professional Envy.

an Italian philosopher has amused
himself by constructing a scale Of de-
grees for tue measurement of profes-
sional envy. The highest point in this
envy measurer is ten.
Architects are happily placed lowest
on the scale. They register only L;
advocates and priests and military
men are ranged at 2, and in the as
cending scale he gives US professors
OK science and literature, 4; journal
lists, 5; authors, s; physicians, 8; ac-
tors and actresses, 10. The small
amount Of envy among architects is
held to be due to their precise, severe
and rigid studies. The same thing ap-
plies to advocates.
Among the clergy envy is found
mostly III preachers. In the military
career elagy is Quieseent in time Of
peace, but can become acute in time
of war Envy makes men Of science
and literature lead solitary lives, diff
dent OF each other. Among physicians
envy is still more prevalent, and they
do not spare their colleagues, often
terming them cha2Iatans. In the the
arieal world envy reaches its acute
form, vanity playing a great part in
ITS production.

Crows as Weather Prophets.

The belief that two crows are a hap
py omen and that they appear to warn
men from disaster is very ancient.
Alexander the Great was thus saved
In Egypt by two crows, and King
Alonzo would assuredly have perished
in 114T had it not been for two crows,
one OF which perched on the Prov and
the other on the stern of his ship, SO
pointing the Prov OF the royal barge
safely into port. Crows and rocks are
very much alike. It is said that when
rocks desert a rooke.y it forebodes the
downfall OF the family on whose prop
esrty It is.
are also credited with being
good weather progRostieators. When
the weather is about to be very bad,
they stay as near home as possible,
bat when they forelsnow that it will
be set fair they start off in the morn
ing right away to a distance where
they have an instinct that the food
they need is plentiful. Again, if the
rocks are seen yeIlturing into the
streets Of town or village it is a sure
sign OF an approaching snowstorm.-

SnailS.

The popularity Of the snail as an ar
ticle Of food is not confined to Paris,
but extends throughout southern Eu.
rope and some parts Of Africa. DR..
Edrard, a French writer, in a pam
phlet says that $4,000 pounds of snails
are sent daily to Paris from the gar,
dens of Poitou, Burgundy, Champagne
and Provence. Those reared in gar.
dens are fed on aromatic herbs to i'm
prove their favor. Their market price
is from 2 francs so centimes to francs
so centimes hundred, while those
from the hedges, woods and forests
bring only 2 francs to 2 francs 80
centines. The proprietor Of one snail
cry in the vicinity Of Dijon nets over
1000 francs annually.
The snail is reared and fattened with
great care in some cantens of Swift
zerland as an article Of luxury and is
exported in picked state. 1t is also
eaten as relish and nutritious article
Of food in Austria, Spain, Italy and in
some sections Of the United States.
The Ashantees and other African
tribes smoke them and eat them as
daily food ali the year around. In
Algeria in the markets large heaps Of
cnails are sold by the bushel and the
hundred as an article Of food. .Venders
hawk them in the streets Of Cairo. In
modern Rome fresh gathered snails
are hawked by women from door to
door.

to the binding Of choice books, drying
out the natural oil Of the feather and
making them warp and get out Of

The upper parts, and these Eve and six

than a notion. Cold is as hard on
books as oTeTheatings and an atmos-

A Kind Word.

Many friendship, long, loyal and
self sacrificing, rested at first on no
thicker a foundation than kind word.
Two men were not likely to be friends.
Perhaps each of them regarded the
other with something Of distrust. They
had possibly been set against each 9th
er by the circulation of gossip or they
had been looked upon as rivals, and
the success Of one was regarded as in
compatible with the success OF the 9th
er,. but a kind word, perhaps mere re-
port of a kind word, has been enough
to be the commencement OF an endur-
ing friendship.
