NEW T*RK. N. Y.—Not long ago a
tuan earn- to me who was nearly half
a centu? old and asked me to give
him a preliminary examination for
life ipuranee. I was astonished to
find with the blood pressure of a
boy / HO and as full of vigor, vim and
vit;*ty as a young man; in fact a
yotag man he really was notwithstand
ing Ids age. The secret he said was
liking iron—nuxated iron had filled
iim with renewed life. At 30 he was
In bad health; at 46 careworn and
nearly all iu. Now at 50 a miracle of
vitality and his face beaming with the
buoyancy of youth. As I have said a
hundred times over, iron is the great
est of all strength builders. If people
would only throw away patent medi
cines and nauseous concoctions and
take simple nuxated iron, I am con
vinced that the lives of thousands of
persons might be saved, who now die
every year from pneumonia, grippe,
consumption, kidney, liver and heart
trouble, etc. The real and true cause
which started their diseases was noth
ing more nor less than a weakened
, condition brought on by lack of iron in
\ the blood. Iron is absolutely neces
sary to enable your blood to change
food into living tissue. Without it, no
matter bow much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you
without doing you any good. You don't
get the strength out of it and as a con
sequence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking just like a plant trying
to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If
you are not strong or well you owe it
to yourself to make the following test;
See how long you can work or how far
you can walk without becoming tired.

History of Thanksqivinq
HE goddess of the Roman harvest was Ceres. Her festival
was celebrated annually and was called Ceralia. It was a day
of worship and rustic sports. Men and women formed pro
cessions and went to the fields with music. Virgil refers to this
festival. He mentions the sacrifices that were offered in the
temples, and alludes to the joyousness of the occasion. Rut
Roman thanksgiving days were not confined to this annual
celebration of the festival of Ceralia. Sometimes they were
held in commemoration of victorious martial campaigns. Plu
tarch tells us of the emperor who to conceal his defeat ordered
a thanksgiving, w hick was observed. Then when the facts of
7 his disastrous campaign becqme generally known, he excused
himself on the ground tlmt lie did not “wish to deprive the people of a day
of enjoyment.”
In one way or another, a thanksgiving day has been observed in
Christian Europe for centuries before its celebration in New England. On
the continent, and for a time in England, it occurred at Martinmas, which
was a day of feasting and drinking. Occasionally, too, civil authorities recom
mended the observance of some fixed day. To celebrate Hie victory of King
Henry V of England, at Agiucourt, October 2.7. 1415, a public thanksgiving
was held on Sunday, the feast of St. Edward, the King and Confessor. Such
a day, too, was observed in Leyden, Holland, October 3. 1573, the first anni
versary of that city from the siege by the Spaniards.
Many instances of a thanksgiving day can he pointed out in England
during the sixteenth and seventeentli centuries. In 1539. the second year of
Elizabeth's reign. Thanksgiving day entered Rogation day. Then it was
ordered that thanks should he given to Almighty God "for the increase and
ubundance of his fruits upon the earth.’1 In this reign, too. there was a
great national thanksgiving day that is worthy of note. This occurred
Tuesday, November 19. 135S, and was in commemoration of the great victory
over the “Invincible Armada.”
One legal and annual thanksgiving day, because of the long time it was
such, deserves special mention. After the traitors in the Gunpowder plot
bad been tried and punished in 1(505. it was ordered that because of their
deliverance the English people should keep the fifth of November every year
"as a public thanksgiving day to Almighty God; that unfeigned thankfulness
may never he forgotten, and that all ages to come may yield praises to God's
divine majesty for the same." The “fifth of November” continued a legal
thanksgiving day for more than two centuries; but in later years it fell into
disuse, and in 1S33 was abolished by parliament.
Long before the advent of the Pilgrims in Massachusetts, all rituals
contained expressions of gratitude to God for his mercies. In that of the
Church of England, special prayers were provided for the Sunday service.
This service, however, must he carefully distinguished from the Thanksgiv
ing day of the Pilgrim fathers. Failure to make this distinction has led to
the groundless claim that the Fophnm colonists were “the first to keep
Thanksgiving day” in America. The service at Monhegan, on which this
claim is based, was the regular Sunday service of the Church of England;
and while :t had an element of thanksgiving, the day can in nowise he re
gariled as a tlmnksgmng day as that term is understood.
The record made in liis "Breeches Bible” by William White, who came
over in the Mayflower, has far more significance in determining the origin
of our American Thanksgiving day than the event at Monhegan. The record
read: “William White married on ye 3rd day of March. 1C20, to Susannah
Tilly. Peregrine White horn on hoard ye Mayflower in Cape Cod Harbor.
Sonne born to Susannah White 19th ye six o'clock morning. Next day we
meet for prayer and thanksgiving.” This meeting “for prayer and thanks
giving" was not on Sunday, but on Tuesday. The fact that it was not a part
of the regular Sunday service makes it more nearly accord with our idea
of Thanksgiving day than does the Monhegan event.
The prototype of our present Thanksgiving day is found in the harvest
festival at Plymouth in 1621. The long winter that followed the establish
ment of the colony lmd been so severe that less than half the settlers had
survived it. “At one time during the winter only Brewster, Stnndish, and
five other hardy ones were well enough to get about.” In the spring and
summer that followed, their fortunes improved, and by autumn they had
cleared 26 acres and made it ready for cultivation. Ttiis industry, ton, had
been rewarded l>y a bounteous harvest. Now food and fuel sufficient for
the needs of Hie approaching winter were luid in. Then Governor Bradford
ordered a thanksgiving—the first in America.
The first thanksgiving was not for a day only. It continued a week.
In it letter to a friend in England, Edward Winslow lias given us a brief
account of the festivities. This letter bears date of December 11, and in it
Winslow wrote: “Our harvest being gotten in, our Governor sent four men
on fowling that so we might after special manner rejoice together after we
had gathered the fruits of our labor*. They killed as much fowl as with
a little help beside served the company about a week. At wjiich times
among other recreations we exercise our arms, many of the Indians coming
amongst us. and among the rest their greatest king. Mnssasoyt, with some
ninety men. whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went
out and killed five deer which they brought and bestowed on our Governor
and upon the captains and others.”
The records make no mention of a thanksgiving day in the next year,
but in the year following. 1623, such a day was held. This, however, was not
in the autumn, but in July on the arrival of provisions from England. Nearly
50 years pass hetore we hear of another thanksgiving day at Plymouth.
There was one in 166S. and another for the accession of the Orange Stuarts,
William and Mary, in 1689. An autumnal thanksgiving was held in 1690, the
last in the history of Plymouth colony.
Independently of Plymouth. Massachusetts Bay colony had occasionally
its own thanksgiving days. There was such a day for the “safe arrival of
ships," July S, 1630; and again the next February, when the provision ship.
Ambrose, arrived. In 1032, the general court ordered a “publique” thanks
giving day in recognition of'the “rn’ey of Ood vouchsafed to the churches
of God in Germany and the Pallatinate.” The next year the court, because
of the bountiful harvest, appointed October 10 as a thanksgiving dav—the
first harvest festival in the history of the colony. By 1680 the autumnal
thanksgiving had become an annual festival. No doubt In its games and
sports it took the place of the English Christmas, for until comparatively
recent date all that savored of Rome and the episcopacy was held in dis
favor in Massachusetts.
During the Revolution Thanksgiving day became national. All through
the war. congress annually set apart a day for thanksgiving; but after the
"Thanksgiving for Peace” in 1783. there were no more until Washington
became president in 1789. On October 3 of this year at New York he issued
n proclamation asking the observance of Thursday. November 26. as a day
for national thanksgiving. This was the beginning of the orthodox “last
Thursday” that has since been named in presidential proclamations. By
this time'the festival had general official recognition throughout New Eng
land, and in this year. 17S9, the Protestant Episcopal prayer hooks recognized
the authority of civil government in the appointing of thanksgiving days.
The chief differences between the two was the want of ceremony at Ply
mouth that characterized the English festival. In some parts of England
the merry-making was around the “ooddingsheaf,” or “kern baby;” and in
many places the last load of the harvest was drawn to the bnrn in a wagon
called the “hoeh cart.” In front went pipe and tabor, and around it gath
ered the reapers, male and female, singing joyously as they proceeded. At
Plymouth there was no ceremony.

Bird Lover’s Observations of Affection
Bestowed on Females by Males of
Feathered Tribes.
In :t recent issue of the Companion,
writes a friend, I read of the extremely
impolite ways of the cardinal. I was
much disappointed, for I had always
supposed Mr. Cardinal to lie a southern
gentleman, chovalrous and polite.
My observation lias taught me that
all birds are not so impolite to their
males as the cardinal proved to he.
I fed the birds all last winter—suet,
1 cracked nuts, seeds and crumbs. A
pair of bluejays came very morning
for their breakfast. They never quar
reled, but divided everything in the
most amicable way. One morning while
; they were eating, the neighbor's cat
j frightened them away. The next day
Mrs. Jay absolutely refused to come
down to the ground to eat. She sat
high up in a large maple tree and
\ looked longingly at the breakfast, but
would not come down. Her mate flew
1 from the ground to her perch and back
again several times, coaxing in a low,
soft voice, but all in vain. At last lie
flew to the grouud. picked up the
largest piece of bread lie could find
and carried it to her. This he did sev
eral times, until she hud eaten her fill,
when they both flew away.
When the first warm spring days
came, I placed a large pan of water
under a big lilac bush, where the birds
could bathe and drink.
One warm morniug Mr. Robin came,
and had just started to take his cold
plunge when Mrs. Robin appeared on
I the scene. Mr. Robin immediately flew
! out on the grass and Waited patiently
until his spouse had refreshed herself
with a bath and a drink: then lie flew
into the pan and finished his own ablu
tions.—Youth’s Companion.

“Hang your safety razor!" he
growled. “It hurts more than my old
one did! Why, I had to pull like the

to get the hair off I brought the skin
off as well!”
George was mystified. His safety
was a razor to swear by and he deter
