thanksgiving Day at Grandma's.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day,
Tis marvellous how time slips away,
For II scarcely seems a month or more
Since Thanksgiving was here before.
To-day has been so clear and fine
suddenly made up my mind
This morning, that since I'm so near
The old home place. will spend this year
Thanksgiving Day at Grandmas
There was time-that was long ogo,
When I saw her every day. and so
l usually planned to 60 away
On Xmas and Thanksgiving Day;
But now I've been away so long
Amid the city's din and throng,
That 1 crave for one more day of rest
And quiet peace, and so guess
will go back home to grandma's
There is kind of magic spell
About those early days, and we'll
1 remember all the various hooks
About the place. where, with my books
1 would go to spend my leisure hours
For there found the gayest flowers,
And not clearer, sweeter note
Fer warbled from red birds throat
Than It did back there at Grandmas
But all of these we're not more sweet
Than the luscious danties got to eat,
There was mush and milk, and bominy 6akes
There were pears and peaches and big sweet
cakes,
And sugar molasses, all kinds Of meats,
And more than hundred other sweets
That my stomach liked.--and oh, my eyesi
can taste again those pumpkin pies.
The pies had at Grandma's.
Tomorrow will be gala day
Here in the city, so tney say;
The stores are festooned rich and rare,
Church bells will be heard every where.
And children's voices will merrily ring
In song, and there will be many things
To hold the eye and gladden. the ear,
And so thought of remaining here
Instead of going to Grandmas
But-let me whisper in your ear,
Softly, so no one may hea -
She was growing old when saw her last
And her hair was whitening very fast
And know that II is whittier now,
And that many burrows mark her brow,
And I'm afraid that perhaps It may
BE the very last Thanksgiving Day
shall ever spend at Grandma's
For hours together 1 would often see
Her sitting in silent reverie,
And l knew her mind was rejecting on
AhN 'iHea vi years tudt nave come and gone,
And living them all over again,
And It's the same, know. as II was then;
And perhaps while In her reverie
She sometimes thinks and longs for me,
So guess I'll go to Grandmas.
And then she was a mother too,
The only one that ever knew.
II II had not been for her tender care
In rearing me, 1 would not be where
l am to-day, perhaps, and might
Have never known the wrong from right,
Or knowing, would have chosen to be
In error, SO can you blame me
For wanting to 60 to GrandmasY
When Father Time has marked my brow,
And my hair is as white as hers is now,
know that ! should love to see
The young folks all come home to me
And spend again Thanksgiving Day;
should love to see them young and gay,
without care and without a woe,
Just as they were in the long ago,
And like 1 shall be at Grandmas.

Electric Lighting Industry.
During the last six months 1856 new
electric lighting companies have been
formed in the United States and twenty in
Canada and Mexico. The present total for
the United States is 1884 companies and
$40 including Canada, Mexico and the
West Indies, These figures show a total
gain of 26 plants for the corresponding
figures of a year ago,
OF the total $40 plants included, no
fewer than 3,l93 carry electrical supplies,
which implies the handling in the agsre-
gate a very large quantity of electrical ma
terial. AS many as 4.154 OF the plants have
alternating current while apparently 1863
are direct. The spread of alternating
methods is shown to be astonishing. OF
the plants enumerated, 15 report them
selves as pure transmissions, while 594
others are either lighting and transmission,
or else include railway work as we'll.
Illinois has still the largest number Of
plants, S9S, though outside of Chicago few
of them are Of considerable magnitude.
New York has 1888 and Pennsylvania BAG,
the last state gaining fourteen in six
months, which is rather remarkable for so
settled a commonwealth Ohio has 2S9,
Michigan 253, and Texas the large number

the city twenty years ago outside the
homes Of the missionaries and the palaces
of the king there was not a two-story
structure to be seen anywhere. The place
contained 200, 900 or 800, 900 people, the most
Of whom lived in mud huts with roofs of
straw thatch. The 'huts we've all made in
the shape Of a horseshoe with quarters at
the back for the women. There were larger
houses rooted with tiles which formed the
homes OF the mobiles, and these were shut
off from the streets by low stable like
structures, in which the servant and re-
tainers were quartered. The houses we're
all heated by flues which ran under the
floors and emptied their smoke into the
streets through openings cut at about the
height Of ones waist from the ground. I
meal times, and more especially mornings
and evenings, these holes poured forth
volumes, making one think of a great
forest fire. The air was so thick thai one
could almost cut 1t and the passerby bad
to cough.
Today Seoul has thousands Of similar
houses. OF the 10000 and odd which make
UP the native population 80 per cent live
in such quarters. They have no sewers
and the Stops run out into open bitches
which have been cut through the streets,

story of the Electric Fan.


OF all the hot weather comforts the
electric fan is easily the first. A bit OF
shade brings a little relief from the heat
Of the July sun, a bit of cracked ice
properly applied to certain hot weather
beverages helps to keep the suf-
ferer a few degrees below a dangerous
temperature; but it is the little electric fan
which brings the cool breezes of the hills
into the hottest apartment, into the SWEET
ering city flat or the hot office. No matter
how hot the sun shines, no matter how
much electricity in the air, no matter
how stirling and s~tagnant the atmosphere
tho touch of a button and the cooling
breezes are at the m of anyone in
any quantity or velocity desired.
Electricity Is the magician which holds
captive the rays of the sun and let's them
out after nightfall to drive away the SOM
Der shades of night; who takes the heat Of
the coal and brings it into the house to
cook the foods and heat the rooms; who
takes the power from the falling water
and carries it miles and miles 70 turn with
the wheels of industry and transportation.
And, not content with all these wonders,
electricity has stuffed into Its wonder bag
the four winds and releases them at your
command,
Inc tltNNilt ian was al AHle lNdh lHNtn-
ton which has been developed within the
last few years until millions OF the fans
are in use throughout the world. Back In
the early 'SOs DR.. S. S. Wheeler, an cleo
trical engineer OF New York, was expert
menting with a small electric motor. In
the course OF his experiments the doctor
conceived the idea that steamboats, might
be run with electricity II the propellors
could be direct connected to high-speed
electric motors, doing away with all the
gears then in use in steam propulsion.
With this idea in mind he had q small
screw-propellor constructed and fastened
II to the armature shaft OF his small motor.
To his surprise the experiment resulted In
a fine breeze of cooling air which more
than delighted the experimental, for the
day was decidedly hot. 1t Is needless TO
add that the experiments with screw-pro-
pellors ended right there and the engineer
took up the study OF the electric fan with
the result that he soon perfected the device
until It was a commercial success
At that time all the fans were run by
batteries. Later they were connected with
the series arc lighting circuits, but this
was found to be as dangerous as II was
unsatisfactory. Little advance was made
until 1883 when a successful attempt was
made TO connect them with the new in
candescent lighting circuits, each fan to
take the place Of a lamp, Battery current
was too expensive for this ventilating de-
vice, but as soon as central station current
was available the fan became popular at
once, and about 1890 the manufacture OF
electric fans began in earnest. A couple
Of years later the ceiling fan was intro
duced and since that time the production Of
desk, bracket, ceiling and oscillating fails
has grown by leaps and bounds and Ameri-
can fans are now supplied 20 every civil
tied country on the map.

Nation of Children.

Indeed, It is up to the japanese govern
ment to protect the Koreans from one
class of its subjects who are nov over
running this country. The Koreans are a
nation OF children. They have been 50
ground down in the past that they have
not learned TO hustle and 10 look out for
themselves. They are wonderfully gentle
and trusting, and the shrewd japanese
can easily take advantage Of them. He
is doing SO today. Notwithstanding the gov
eminent tries to prevent It and the
authorities should put on the screws and
punish severely all such offenses. Prince
Ito has tried to do this. even 70 the ex-
tent OF sending back a large number or
the Japanese who nave come here, saying
that they were not fit to be in the coun-
try.
II is this element that knocks the Ko-
rean about, cheats him out Of his wages,
and II possible. by means % loans, takes
his houses and lands. It IS the low cllsi
element among the soldiers scattered In
small and over the country away from
their superior officers, which is leading 70
the killing OF many innocent Koreans un-
der the name OF insurgents; and which, II
the government does not pursue a more
rigid policy, is likely TO lose Japan its
reputation as having the best, the kindest,
the most refined and the most humane SOL
diers on earth. Indeed, It seems to mo
that japan has in this low class element,
which has come 20 Korea a problem far
more serious than the people think II
Prince Ito could transmit to the Japanese
I'm Korea the same feeling OF brotherly
love and charity which he and the better
class japanese have they would soon make
the Knraapg the afPOnR friends If Ianan
and build them up as an independent but
powerful element for good IN the japanese
empire, FRANK q. CARPENTER
