THANKSGIVING.

Inside, he grand church organ pealed
And sweet voiced cholrboys sang;
Broadcloth and Satin lolled at ease,
While belfry music rang.
Outside. the wind blew bitter cold,
lonely street waif stood
Hard by the door, with wondering eyes,
In need of clothes and food.
The preacher in his robes Of white
Gave thanks n long drawn prayer;
Broadeloth and Satin bowed their heads
Gave thanks, each, for his share.
The little stranger out -of-dOOrs
In garments sOiled and rent,
Passed on into the great, wide world,
And wondered what ii meant.

A Safety Lamp.

While the use of electricity and gas
for lighting purposes is becoming al
most universal in our cities, the country
homes must still depend upon the COM
mon kerosene lamp to dispel the dark
ness at night. 1t is but natural that a
simple and safe light should be desired
to carry around when going from room
to room, and it is a lamp designed to
meet these requirements that has been
designed by Manander N. Johnson, an
idea of his invention being shown in
the accompanying drawing. This lamp
not only makes provision for the dis
charge of explosive gases without per-

hitting them to come in contact with
the flame. but is also provided with a
water jacket, which prevents the heat
of the flame from acting on the oil in
the reservoir, thus reducing to a mini
mum the vapOriZation of the fluid. As
shown here, the lamp is stripped of all
attachments and presents simply the
oil reservoir, the water pocket, the wick
and filling tubes, the latter serving as
handle for transporting the lamp
about. Beside the wick is seen n small
tube leading downward from the cavity
surrounding the wick, and it is by this
tube that the gases rising from the sur
face of the oil are carried through the
bottom of the lamp to the open air. The
same principle can be applied to any
pattern of lamp from Il fancy piano
light to small affair for Matching eggs

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
bamboo In the Hou.ehold.

The increasing importation of bamboo
seems to indicate that Americans are
beginning to appreciate the exceeding
utility of that remarkable plant. In
the orient 1t fills so large place that
1t may be compared with iron and steel
in the occident. When dried and cut
into slivers, it makes nails which never
rust. When portion of its surface is
removed, steamed or heated in fire, it
becomes pliable, and may be bent into
various angles. These two properties
enable the eastern cabinet maker to
manufacture it into stools chairs, ia
bles, screens, etageres, trunks and ar
moireS.
In the United States bamboo and rat
tan are made into ornamental furni-
ture on small and delicate scale, but
the use OF the large sized bamboo for
massive and durable furniture has not
yet been attempted. In household fur
nishing and decoration the eastern reed
offers unlimited variety. Thus far it
has been employed in this country for
picture frames, easels, fancy chairs and
curtain poles. In the orient the larger
sizes, which range from three to twelve
inches in diameter, are sawed into va
rious lengths and used for card receiv-
ers, sugar bowls, cigar boxes, hand
trays, spoon holders. umbrella stands,
drinking utensils and jewel boxes. The
larger ones are cut through and sawed
with scroll saws into various patterns,
which are utilized as jardinieres or the
holders of pewter boxes, incense cases
and mantel ornaments.
When softened by hot water and split
into thin strips, these can be woven
with cord into veranda and window
shades, doormats and hall mattings.
When split still finer, the strips can be
braided into table mats, chair seats and
backs, dado wall covers and a floor COW
ering which is almost indestructible.

Diseases of Men

Many are the complications that re-
suit from the bungling treatment of
private diseases, and the old age of
many man has been made miserable
because of the terrible results of I'M
intelligent treatment.
These diseases involve the most deli
cate organs of the body and they re-
quire the most skillful treatment pos
sible.
Unless they are properly treated,
complications are sure to arise which
Will lead to serious results. No other
class of diseases have wrecked so
many lives as those diseases when not
properly treated. No two cases are
exactly alike, and no two patients re
quire the same line of treatment. We
therefore give each case our careful
attention and treat every symptom
and every effect of these diseases up
on the human system.
We extend to everyone n most cor
dial Invitation to consult us. We will
take pleasure in giving thorough
examination, and will make no charge
for our opinion and advice.
Those unable to call should write
us. Correspondence strictly confiden-

who is carrying out the laying of the
Pacific submarine cable projected by
his father, the late bonanza king, is
confident that the line will be COM
pleted by next July.
1t is interesting to note that the Pa
cific Commercial Gable company is not
itself laying the cable. That great task
is in the hands of an English corpora
ton, popularity called the Silvertown
company, with its head offices in Lon
don. For two months after the cable
is in working order to Honolulu the Sill
vertown company retains control, and
if at the end of that time the line is
found to be in first class condition it is
to be formally turned over to the own
ers.
1t is said that the chief engineer of
the cable laying company drew on a
card three large circles representing as
many tanks for holding cOiled cable
and that he handed it to the ship
builders with these instructions, Build
us a ship around those tanks" The
appearance of the Silvertown seems to
Justify the statement.

The Useful Lemon.

Lemons are very useful in health or
sickness. Hot lemonade is one of the
best remedies for an incipient cold. 1t
is also excellent in case of bil0usness.
For malaria the Roman cure is pre-
pared by cutting the rind and pulp of a
lemon into pint of water, then boiling
until there is only half pint. One
teaspoonful is taken before each meal.
This has cured obstinate cases when
Quinine failed.
