bilee of freedom his simple faith told
him must come. With eyes almost
bursting from their sockets he listened
to our story of the emancipation-how
Lincoln had struck the letters off from
every slave and if once he could reach
Yankee territory there would be no
more dragging him back to slavery.
When the poor wretch comprehended
the wonderful story he sat silent for
long time. Then he looked into the
face Of each of us, a CLEAN of peace
growing brighter and brighter on his
ebony skin. "Yo' all is shuah huff
Yanks," said he, "else yo' amt talkin'
dat away to Black Sam" Nothing we
could say was stronger than the ne
gro's logic. "Yo's Yanks, an yo's hun
cry. I'ze hungry, too-hungry for tur-
key, 'kase dis about Thanksgiben time.
I'ze gwine kill de bird O. freedom an
glib yo' all a dinner" For a moment
we thought the startling news of eman-
cipation had turned the poor slaves
brain. There was no sign of poultry
culture about the premises.
Black Sam saw the doubt written on
our faces. ooh, I'ze got dat turkey, all

help of rude bench, we found a car
peting of mountain grass for our bed
and space just large enough to lie
down spoon fashion, as we'd done in
prison. and aired by hole cut in the
gables. Black Sam descended, and we
moved the loose poles back into posi-
ton. ''Ain' no bushwhackin' secesh
gwine LUX fur yo' up dare" said he,
with a chuckle, and went his way to
prepare the turkey.
After a long sleep we awoke and
crept down from the loft, wondering
that we had not been hidden to the
feast. Black Sam was sitting like
mourner, with his lank yellow dog for
companion in misery. By the light
OF a waning fire in the chimney we
saw the well picked bones of a turkey
and some scraps of pone on the board.
What had happened? Surely that woe
begone negro and his woebegone dog
had not RECALLED themselves on the bird
of freedom. We looked from one to
the other of our crowd and then to our
host, who tremblingly began his story
of the disastrous jubilee fete Said
he: ''Dess git dat turkey an dat pone

HE bird was turkey, not an

met its fate Thanksgiving day,
but it passed the way Of all
Thanksgiving birds about Nov. g.
1863. This uncertain chronology is due
to the fact that half dozen of us war

our homeward journey by the. sole

struck the eastern slope Of the Cum
berland mountains in southwestern
Virginia late autumn was upon us.
The plentiful wild grapes had been
touched by frost, persimmons were
dropping, dead ripe, and corn had been
shucked and stored beyond our reach.
We didn't know the day of the week,
much less that of the month, for we
passed days and nights sometimes hid
ing from pursuers in dark caves and
slept from sheer exhaustion without
reference to the rising or the setting of
the sun. One day we came upon a cabin
hidden in the mountain wilds occupied
by negro who, like ourselves, was a
refugee. At the beginning of the war
he had run away from his master in
east Tennessee and started blindly to
meet up with "Massa Linkum's So

Italian Garden Magic.
,om Century, Magazine.

From century Magazine. ~st'
 Some of those who have fallen under the spell are inclined to ascribe the ItaI- ian garden magic to the effect of time: but. wonder working as this undoubtedly is, 1t leaves many beauties unaccounted for. To seek the answer one must go deeper; the garden must be stIidied in relation to the house, and both in rela- tion to the landscape. The garden of tue Middle Ages, the garden one sees in oid missal illuminations and in early Woodcuts was a mere patch of ground within the castle precincts, where sim ples" were grown around a central well head and fruit was espaliered against the walls. But in the rapid Towering of Italian civilization, the castle walls were soon thrown down and the garden ex- banded. taking in the fish pond, the bowling green. the rose arbor and the clipped walk. The Italian country house, especially in the centre and the south of Italy, was almost always built on a hillside and one day the architect looked forth from the terrace of his villa and saw that in his survey of the garden the inclosing landscape was naturally in cluded; the two formed a part of the same composition.
 The recognition of this fact was the first step in the development of the great gar den art of the. Renaissance; the next was the architects discovery of the means by which nature and art might be fused in his picture. He had now three problems to deal with; hIs garden must be adapted to the architectural lines of the house 1t adjoined; it must be adapted to the re- quirements of the inmates of the house, in the, sense of providing shady walks sunny bowling greens, parterres or or chards. an conveniently accessible, and. lastly, it must be adapted to the land scape around 1t. At no time and in no country has this triple problem been so successfully deaIth with as in the treat ment of the Italian country house from the beginning of the sixteenth to the end of the eighteenth century, and. in the blending of different clements, the subtle transition from the fixed and formal lines of art to the shifting and irregular lines

What is RadiumP

Prof. John Trowbridge. In December Att
 lantic.
 The properties of Radium are so strange that by ,some 1t is called already the miracle of science" and the new reyela- tion threatens to upset the most cher ished tenets of physics. How does the bit of Radium obtain it's great source of energy; a source which appears to be un- limited? It is computed that 1t can con tinue to give out energy unimpaired for millions of years. We have been led to believe that we cannot obtain heat with out the consumption of fuel or the ex- penditure of work Tyndalps work enti- tied Heat. a Mode of Motion." marked an epoch in philosophic thought; and we have all been suckled in this creed. Will 1t prove a Pagan creed?
 In Radium we apparently have a boiler or dynamo which gives out energy with out the expenditure of fuel. This is in- deed a marvellous revelation. and does not seem to be connected with what may be called the Old Testament of physics; there are no hints or physical prophecies which might have led us to hope for this new light.

 Mrs. R. H. Clarke. Regent; Mrs. Rhett Goode, Vice Regent and the other Daugh- ters stood near the doorway to receive their guests.
 A little after g, the band struck up the grand march and all eyes turned eagerly to the door whence presently appeared a charming procession of belles and beaux of ye olden times. The men wore the knee trousers. silk coats. powdered hair and ques. and three cornered hats of their grand sires, and the maidens in their lowered gowns, panmirs, high heeled slip pers. paint, powder and patches looked as if they had just steped down from an old fashioned gilt frame to smile and dag zle as of yore. The grand march was led by Miss Theo Williamson with MT. Erwin Little. who guided through intricate figures the following:
 Miss Agnes Blackser with Mir. Riche- bourg Gaillard. Miss Elizabeth Menden- hall with MT. Warren Fields, Miss Ger trude Smith with MT.

Clinton Macartthey. .., The march ended, these young people moved gracefully through the stately measures of the minuet, receiving enthu- siastic applause. The remainder of the evening was given up to general dancing, the ball lasting until late in the evening and proving one of the most successful affairs of the year.
 The music, of the two step used as the entrance march at the D. A. R. ball was composed by Mrs. Boykin Boone of l Mobile. It is called tho Cavalier two step and is dedicated by It's author to the Society of the Order.

 Notwithstanding the busy rush of tho days preceding the holidays and the par ties of every sort and description that have been making such heavy demands on the time and strength of the young people of late, a veil of expectant into est has surrounded the mueh-talked of Con- tinental ball, and few there were who did not avail themselves of the privilege of enjoying this evening the hospitality of the hostesses, the Mobile Chapter or the Daughters of the American Revolution.
 The Daughters had requested that their guests wear the Martha Washington cos tune, and they themselves were all In costume, with powdered hair and the de- mure. becoming kerchief of ye olden times. Many of the guests were gowned likewise. and all were in full evening dress, even those occupying the vantage point of the gallery.

In hygienic matters the Japanese
have everywhere a habit which may
have a lesson for us. In their nightly
bath and morning wash the water is
never cold, never warm, but always as
hot as it can be borne. To foreigners
this habit seems very surprising, but
the most inveterate Englishman, If he
stays in the country long enough, aban-
dons his cold tub in its favor.
The cold taking which, it Is suspect
ed, must follow it is not found to occur
If the water has been hot enough. This
neat is maintained by little furnace
beneath the bath. In the bath the
bather or bathers take a prolonged
soaking, the washing proper being done
on the bathroom floor; then follow a
second and final soaking, drying with
towel and lounge in bathing wrapper.
This habit seems to promote softness
and suppeness Of the skin and by per-
sons inclined to rheumatism Is soon
found to be altogether preferable to
the cold bath in every particular. The
poorest of the japanese hear of cold
bath with amazement and would be
sure the man who used it must be o
barbarian.
