The range of prices for the desirable

To obtain the tiny beauties which are
in demand for the aquaria traders ex-
plore some Of the most remote waters
Of the earth. Among the interesting
tropical fish are some beautiful green
shaded fish striped with black and hav-
ing long yellow fms Although many
men have sought to obtain these fish. 1t
is almost impossible to bring them to
this country alive So far as is known
to aquarium experts. there are but four
pairs in the UniteA States at present.
These fish are found in little creek
about 1.JOO miles up the Amazon river.
According to the New York fanciers.
they have never been found anywhere
else in the world. The name given by
science to these rare beauties Is Pter-
phillum scalare The blowfish from
India, distinguished by the vivid black
spots on its body, is another fish dill
cult to bring to this country alive
The fighting fish of Asia are also
star boarders in modern aquaria.
The Danio rerior. from India. is one
Of the beauties of the piscatory world
which have representatives, in num-
her of aquaria. In shape the fish is
not unusual, but its entire body and
its tail are striped with bands of vivid
blue and white or blue and yellow, so
that It makes as dazzling an appear
ance as the most brilliant goldfish
Another Indian beauty is the Tricho-
CASTER balius, one Of the fish which

other wonderful example Of piscatorial
magnificence is the Xiphophorus he'll

Recently the life bearing fish which
come from South America have inter-
ested many Of the aquaria breeders.
While the efforts Of the men who
breed the tropical fishes are first to
keep the fish which they purchase
from foreign agents alive. then to get
them to breed. and after this end has
been attained to have them breed true
to color. If not to improve upon the
original color. the goldfish breeders go
a step further in their ambitions and
by cross breeding seek to obtain speci-

Custom of Celebrating
Thanksgiving Day
: A Very Ancient One

"HE idea is prevalent through
out the United States that our
Thanksgiving day is peculiarly
an American custom Of New
England origin. This is true in part
only. The general observance through
many years Of a set day on which to
give thanks to Almighty God for his
blessings has made the custom dis
tinctively American, but its origin long
antedates the settlement of this west
ern continent, and we must look else
where for it.
The idea of Thanksgiving day goes
back to Temotest antiquity. 1t is
part of natural religion and is proba
bly, as old as the human race. In writ
ten records we have ample evidence
that the festival was celebrated in
connection with "the fruits Of the
earth by the ancient Egyptians, the
Jews. the Greeks and the Romans.
Long before Luther's revolt in the
sixteenth century it had been observed
by the Christians, and after the refor-
nation thanksgiving days were in fire.
quent use by the Protestants, especial
" those of England.
In old Egypt when the harvest had
been gathered it was the custom to
observe a day Of feasting and to lay
offerings upon the affairs of Isis, the
goddess of agriculture. The Jewish
festival was the "Ingathering," or the
'Feast of the Tabernacle" mentioned
in Exodus and other parts Of the Old
Testament. This was more particu-
larly a thanksgiving for the fruit har-
vest but as it came at the close of the
entire harvest 1t probably was intend
ed also as general thanksgiving "for
the bounty of nature" in the year that
had passed.
In one way or another a thanksgiv-
Ing day had been observed In Christian
Europe for centuries before its cele-
The Caucasian., 1913-11-30


bration In New England The early
Christians kept such days as the bish-
ops named then within their jurisdic-
ton. On the continent and for time
In England 1t occurred at Martinmas,
which was day Of feasting and drink
Ing. Occasionally. too, civic authorities
recommended the observance Of some
fxed day.
To come down to later times many
Instances OF Thanksgiving days can be
pointed ont in England, especially dur
ing the sixteenth and seventeenth CEN
turies. One legal and annual Thanks
giving day. because Of the long time it
was such. deserves special mention
After the traitors in the gunpowder
plot had been tried and punished in
1905. 1t was ordered that because of
their deliverapce the English people
should keep .'the fifth of November
every year as public thanksgiving to
Almighty God, that unfeigned thank
fulness may never be forgotten and
that all ages to come MAJ yield praises
The prototype Of our present Thanks
giving day is found In the harvest
festival at Plymouth in 1921. The long
winter that followed the establishment
OF the colony was so severe that less
than half Of the settlers had survived
At one time during the winter only

JEWISH NEW YEAR
5,s74 HAS BEGUN

Again the Jewish people the world
over are observing the holy season
which began with Rosh Hashanah,
or New Years Day, on the evening
Of October /, and ends with The
Feast of Conclusion on the evening
of October q.
In the Jewish tradition, the Rosh
Hashanah marks the anniversary OF
the creation Of the world. The
present Rosh Hashanah, therefore,
marks the beginning OF the year
1914. 1t is not the change of year,
but the change of life that this day
stresses, that makes it stand out as
one of the hottest days in the Jew
ish calendar. 1t is a day set apart
for introspection and self-examlna-
ton. The sacred character of this
day is implied in the two other names
by which it is known, the Day OF
Memorial and the Day of the Blow
ing of the Trumpets.
The Rosh Hashanah derives its
significance from the fact that it is
but the introduction to the Day of
Atonement which follows ten days
later.
