THANKSGIVING DAY
Fort Monroe ArtiIlerymen and Sol
diers' Home Veterans Get Fine
Turkey Dinner.

Although Thanksgiving day was
generally observed over the lower
peninsula yesterday. the celebration
at Fort Monroe among the United
States art.lltrymen was probably the
most interesting All the companies
Gu the reservation had specially pre-
pared turkey dinners.
IN the post hospital. Cooks Smith
and Miller gave the hospital force
the treat of the season. The menu
cards were most attractively gotten
up and the dinner would have done
Justice for banquet to the chief
executive OF the United States. The
menu included soups, oysters. roast
beef. baked young gocse. white po-
tatces. sweet, potatoes. salads. mince.
apple and peach pies. fruits, tea, cof-
fee. ice cream and cheese. There was
the greatest abundance of the good
things and 1t is unnecessary 10 gay
that the hospital men did justice TO
the meal. The other menu were OF
the same high standard.
At the National Soldiers Home the
veterans were served turkeys. cram
berries ard everything that is es-
genital to an old Virginia Thsnksgiv-
ing dinner.
In Hampton the stores closed dur
ing the afternoon. while the day was
quietly spent in families reunions.

Big Log. FOR China.

When she leaves Linnton for China
the steamer M. s. Dollar will have on
board one of the most singular car
goes of lumber that has ever left the
port. says the Oregon Journal. Her
deck load is composed of huge .un-
sawed logs which are destined to go
into a Chinese temple.
There are about twenty-five of these
logs and they range In length from los
to LOG feet. They average about forty
three inches at the butt and each
weighs in the neighborhood Of fifteen
tons. They will be discharged some
where along the river between Shang.
hal and Hankow. after which they
will have to be taken a long distance
into the interior of the country, where
they will be used in making repairs
to Buddhist temple which is many,
centuries old.
The work Of transferring them from
the coast to their destination will be
an enormous task, as for most Of the
way they will have to be transported
by the most primitive methods. and
it will be the work of months to get
them to their destination.

The number of acres all devoted to
rye in the United States in the year
1905 was 1,73O,15s: average producs
ton per acre. 1865 bushels; average
farm price. Gil cents; average value
per acre, $10.07. Twenty bushels an
acre is considered fair crop. but 80
bushels an acre are frequently raised
It is extensively grown for green ma
nuring to be plowed under to enrich
soils with humus, and is largely sown
particularly in the south), as for.
age crop. Rye is subject to less mis-.
haps than any other grain except
buckwheat. 1t is subject to disease
known as ergot, In this country usual
ly called false rye" Ergot Is poison

whole families have been poisoned by
eating bread that was badly mixed
with ergot. In this country the clean.

1t is surprising from whence come
the most common articles of food. The
onion, the leek. garlic, and pea were
favorites in Egypt; rye and parsley in.
Siberia; the citron and currants in
Greece. and radishes hail from China
and Japan.
The horse chestnut is native Of
Tibet, the Forbidden Land" and the
mulberry tree, walnut, and peach trav.
eled westward from Persia. Very few
consider that oats originated in North
Africa at a time when Egypt was the
granary of the world.
The chestnut came from Italy, eel.

Theories Regarding Modern Domes-

People who hold that the Smodern
servant is creature chock full of
a total depravity which makes her
or him-unable to stay in onS place
longer than 1t takes her-or hSm-to
become really useful, ought to read the
records of the Domestic Servants Be
tnevolent Institution, an English SO.
ciety, says an exchange. On Its books
are names of several hundred serv-
ants, each of whom has been with the
same employer for more than fifty
years. William Sly, secretary OF the
society, says that his experience has
convinced him that when servants are
well treated they seek few changes.
One of these faithful servants was
Hannah Jane Cook, who died recently
at the age of SO and who had been in
one family since her seventeenth year.
The death notice inserted in the pa
pers by her employers called her a
most faithful FRIEND" and as such,
rather than as servant, she was al
ways regarded. Miss Caroline Chip,
also on the books of the society, is
supposed to be the oldest domestic
servant living. She Is 101 years OF
age and eighty of these years have
been spent in the service of one fam
lily. Susan o'Hagan, who died last
January at the age of 107 years, had
served three generations of the Hall
family OF Lisburn, Ireland.
Some touching Instances OF love and
devotion come to light in the annals
Of these old English servants. One
there was whose mistress was ruined
by a bank failure. The mistress told
the old domestic with great regret that
she couldn't afford to keep her any
longer. We'll, ma'am," said the WON
an. then I'll just keep thee. I've
saved up all my wages and I've got
enough" And till her death, some
years later, the former employer lived
with this woman like sister and was
cared for by her at her expense in
great comfort.
