An American, perhaps he was Vir-
ginian. was travelling IN Europe a few
years ago and was going into ecstasies
over the scenery he saw at Switzer-
land and in Norway and Italy and else.
where German with whom he talked
told this American that there was
nothing in Switzerland or Norway or
Italy to compare in beauty and gran
duer with scenery he had looked upon
in the Rocky Mountain region of the
United States that Western North
Carolina and Eastern Tennessee could
give Switzerland and Italy two and

The German. thinking. of course.
that the American knew his own coun-
try pretty we'll. asked him II he did
not agree with the proposition. Much
TO the surprise OF the German, it
leaked out that this American had
never seen the Rocky Mountains. had
never been to the Land OF the Sky
in North Carolina. never was IN East
Tennessee. had never heard of the
Pinnacles Of Dan. had never been to
Niagara Falls or the Natural Bridge
OF Virginia. and had never heard OF

OF disgust advised the American to
find out something about his owp
country before he again went into
compton fits about the grand scenery
of Europe, which had cost him several
thousand dollars to see.
My Country, IT'S OF Thee.
The advice OF that German gentle
man remains good. America to-day
affords more OF grand scenery, more
OF natures curiositiee. more OF things
worth seeing than all of the balance OF
the earth combined. and yet Americans
themselves are the most ignorant of
all the peoples of these facts. Vir-

Mr. William A. Radford will answer

A great many seven and eight room
houses are now being built on this
plan with wide gable and roof hav-
ing a wide projection at the gables
and at the caves.
To be in keeping the loggia or living
porch roof is built on the same plan,
with the ends of the rafters exposed
and a pitch and projection in conform
ity with the main roof
A loggia built in this manner makes
a very pleasant summer parlor, a
splendid addition to the big living
room in fine weather. 1t should be
furnished with comfortable rockers
and other easy chairs. 1t should have
a good, heavy two story table to hold
books and magazines and a hanging
swinging seat in the corner farthest
from the door,
These hanging seats are all right
or all wrong, according to the way
they are made, upholstered and hung.
In the first place they must be solid,
but they may be either cheap or ex-
pensive and still look well and COM
Portable. But the proportions must be
right, and there must be cushions and
pillows and lean-back to make them

The very best kind of hanging
seat may be made from suspension

all furniture dealers seen for single
beds. The wire spring is suspended
from the ends of solid hard wood
frame. In making the seat the frame

passed out of existence. The turkey rattle with
dice is still custom in some parts of the coun-
try. Usually the turkey is tough bird, which
was purchased cheap by the proprietor of the
saloon (for the rattle usually takes place there).
The rattle, of course draws crowd of men, who
incidentally patronize the bar during the pro-
ceedngs. Another sportive feature of Thanks
giving no longer in vogue was the shooting
match, where live turkeys tied to sticks were
used This cruel practice was abandoned be-
cause the New England clergy objected not on
account Of it's cruelty, but because it kept the
men away from the church service. This reason
seems to fit In with the idea Of the men back In
the seventeenth century who, while they were
eating a Thanksgiving dinner Of venison, discov.
cred that the deer had been killed on Sunday.
They at once sent for the Indian and had him
publicly whipped and also compelled him to
return the money which he had been paid for
the deer This being done, they at once re-
sumed their dinner and finished up the venison.
New York city is responsible for the strangest
of all Thanksgiving customs, and one which has
only recently died out. Young men and boys
used to dress themselves In fantastic garb and
parade the streets hundreds Of the boys wear
ing their sisters old clothes, their faces smeared
with paint and their heads covered with wigs.
AS late 1885 they held parades and made the
street hideous with their humping drums aud
blaring trumpets In 1870 this queer perform
ance took on the dignity of political parade aud
prizes were distributed to the companies wearing
the most unique clothing. Senator William M
Tweed, the famous political boss of that period
was the donor of a prize of $500 in gold This
custom undoubtedly survival OF Guy
Fawkes days, carried out on later day in the
year; for some unknown reason it was practiced
only in New York city

ity, and in the old days it considered bad
luck to turn tramp from the door, and

serve their inmates with hearty meal and have

hovers about the national day Of prayer and
