How it started no one seems to know, but most persons in this part cf the country, the New York Sun says, speak of him as Mr. Ah-day (accent on the day).

An .Interesting agricultural item is reprinted in the London Times from Its issue of October 10, 1801: "A Mr. Vacher of Heckford iarm, near Poole, last year planted one Potato, which produceed him S35 in number, and there would have been still more had not a boy lost one of the eyes after the Potatoe was cut in pieces. The Farmer having saved the whole of them, had then planted, which he has now dug up, and finds that they have multiplied to the number of 9.236 and weigh 13 cwt., 3 qrs.. which certainly is a very great increase from one sin gle root in two years." Rhramittom ud tlx Eyea. Chicago, IIL. Nov. 18th. Mr. R. A. Wade, the celebrated criminal lawyer of this city whose opinion on legal matters is unquestioned, has recently made public his unqualified opinion on a matter of medicine. Mr. Wade says that Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble affect the eyesight, and further that there is no case of the kind that can not be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. He has no fear of being set right by any of his medical friends, for both statements have a living and indis putable proof in the person of the great lawyer himself, who as a result of Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble from which he suffered for years, be came totally blind. Physicians, the best in the country, pronounced his case incurable and hopeless, but PoJd's Kidney Pills cured him, restored his sight, drove away the Kidney Trouble and with it the Rheumatism and made an all around well man of him.

IRONFNO A SHIRT "WAIST. Not infrequently a young woman finds it necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency when the ktundryman or the home ser vant cannot do it. Hence these direc tions for ironing the waist: To iron summer shirt waists so that they will look like new It is needlul to have them starched evenly with Defiance starch, then made perfectly smooth and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be laid away two or three hours. When Ironing have a bowl of water and a clean piece of muslin beside the Iron ing board. Have your iron hot, but not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso lutely clean. Begin by ironing the back, then the front, sides and the sleeves, followed by the neckband and the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap ply the damp cloth and remove them. Always iron from the top of the waist to the bottom. If there are plaits in the front iron them downward, after first raising each cne with a blunt knife, and with the edge of the Iron follow every line of stitching to give it distinctaess. After the shirt waist la Ironed It should be well aired by the fire or in the sun before it is folded and put away, cays the Philadelphia Inquirer. F the many feast days celebrated throughout the world. Thanksgiving Day, the day set apart by proclamation to give thanks to the Giver of all good for the mercies and blessings of the year Is nearest and dearest to the hearts of the American people. Especially is this so in historic old New England, where family ties, associations and memories, together with the day-by-day life of the hardy sons and daugh ters of this prosperous and picturesque region, are tempered and molded even to this day by the traditions of their Puritan ancestry, writes Rev. John Hall. Nearly three centuries ago a little band of brave, adventurous pioneers celebrated the first appointed day of Thanksgiving. Governor Bradford, at Plymouth, Mass., in the autumn fol lowing the landing of the Pilgrims, set apart a day to be devoted to thanks giving, prayer, praise and incidentally to various and sundry demonstrations of good will, good fellowship and a general gcod time for young and old. It was a day of bounty, of openhanded r.es3, a day when the latch-string was not only altogether out, but the door was w'de open. It is sa'd of certain venerable Puritans that after the feast was over, after the hangers-on and the few poor of the neighborhood had been fed, that they gathered into baskets the scraps and bits that remained and went out through the highways and byways looking for hungry dogs and cats, that they also might be filled on this blessed day. Failing in this, they placed the food on some rock or tree trunk, that the birds and wild beasts might eat thereof. There are many holidays around which pleasant memo ries cluster, but among them all Thanksgiving Day presents to our view the most kaleidoscopic pictures. This day for family reunion, this milestone on the pathway of human life, this day from which many households date their pleasures and their griefs, the red-letter days in the calendar of the aged and infirm, hoped for, waited for, played for, because it brought once more the smiling fces of leved ones; because it furnished one more delight before the venerable and snow-crowned heads were laid away in their last long home. There is one most delightful feature of this altogether happy occa sion: Blessed be the roof under which an unbroken family circle gathers. Then it is tnat the day can have its full significance of thanksgiving and praise. It is hard indeed to accept the decrees of Providence when they remove from us those to whom our hearts are close ly united. Try as ve may, profess as we will, up from the depths of our souls comes the cry for the beloved who have been taken from us. But when we come, one and all, z.n unbrok en band and take our places at the ta ble filled with the good things of life, then in the fullness of our hearts we can give thanks not only for the plenty which has been showered upon us. but for the presence of those without wnom our lives would be incomplete and full of sorrow. It is meet that before we enjoy the delights of a table laden with the deli cacies and dainties with which the sea son has furnished us, that we should render our tribute of praise and thankfulness to the great Provider who giveth at the proper time the harvest of field, orchard, meadow, forest and stream. It is but common justice that we would do this even to a friend who has bestowed favors upon us. How much more, then, to the great Creator who gives not oniy the simplest, but also the greatest, gifts of our lives! For the gift of life! What is life? Lue is the spirit of God Himself. When God made man He breathed into his nostrils His own breath and with it a fragment of his own spiritual and immortal being. ' 'As tne business of the year is now drawing toward a conclusion, we are reminded, according to the laudable usage of the Providence, to join to gether In a grateful acknowledgment ol the manifold mercies of the Divine Providence conferred upon Us in the passing Year: .Wherefore, I have thought fit to appoint, and I do. with tne advice of his Majesty's Council, ap point Thursday, the Third Day of De cember next, to be a day of public Thanksgiving, that we may thereupon with one Heart and Voice return out most Humble Thanks to Almighty Got for the gracious Dispensations of Hi; Providence since the last religious An niversary of this kind, and especially for that He has been pleased to pre serve and maintain our most graciouf Sovereign, King George, in Health and Wealth, in Peace and Honor, and to extend the Blessings of his Govern ment to the remotest part cf his Do minions: that He hath been pleased to bless and preserve our gracious Queen Charlotte, their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Dowager cf Wales, and all the Royal family, and by the frequent increase of the Roya1 Issue to assure us the Continuation of the Blessings which we derive from that Illustrious House; that He hath bcn pleased to prosper the who'e Brit ish Empire by the Preservation of Peace, the Encrease cf Trade, and the opening of new Sources of National Wealth; and now particularly that He hath been pleased to favor the people of this Province with healthy and kind ly Seasons, and to bless the Labour 0: their Hands with a Sufficiency of the Produce of the Earth and of the Sea.

"I might men tion the fact that if you want the finest and fat test turkey for vour Thanksgiving dinner, my store is the place to get it, but that is not what I am here for. I came in to bring you an item of interest. You may not know, notwithstanding an editor knows more than anybody else on earth, that the first proclamation of Thanksgiving Day that is to be found in printed form is the one issued by Francis Bernard, Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief in and over his Majesty's province of the Massachusetts Bay in New Eng land, and Vice-Admiral of the same, in 1767." The editor admitted that it had not occurred to him previously. "I'm glad I'm giving you something new," continued the turkey man, '"and now let me read it to you, so you may compare it with the modern styte. .

Days of festival thanksgiving have been celebrated for many centuries. Under the old Mosaic law the Hebrews held an annual harvest :'-sllval under the treez and in tents of palm. The German Protestants have an annua! "Harvest Home" festival, accompanied by religious services, and th's ciiBtom was brought to America by the early Dutch immigrant. Thanksgiving for us today is a time for rejoicing that life-has been spared to us and that we have escaped many dangers, overcome many trials and en joyed many pleasures during the last year. It is also a time when we should remember kindly those who have been less fortux-ate and should put forth some special effort to make them happier. The Old Greek Tear.
