"HARVEST HOME"
THEY CALLED IT
Old Enflllsh ThankSfllYlna. of Which Ours Is an Offsprino.
Bc0an Thousands of Years Aoo.
$&S&$&$&$
The American Thanksgiving day Is
without doubt tho offspring of that
feast which In
England la known
an "Harvest
Homo," and In
Scotland Is called
"Mell Supper."
Dut the giving of
thanks to some
god nt tho close
of the autumn
season for tho
fruits of tho earth
Is agoloss, and
can bo traced
back as far as
civilization goes.
In Exodus tho Is
raelites are com
manded to keep
an autumnal feast,
more explicit do
tails for such a
foast bolng given
In tho Book of
Leviticus. Tho
feast was to last
seven days, and
on the first day
the peoplo wore to gather boughs of
cedars and willows of tho brooks. It
may bo from this custom that tho
proacnt day decoration of churches
with greons and vegetables arose.
Horodotus mentions this autumn
custom of thanksgiving, and Homer
writes thnt "cakes nnd lumps of
dough thrown nt tho head of the sacri
ficial victim formed a part of tho
Grcok offerings to Apollo, tho sun-god,
at the feast of tho Inguthorlng."
In nnclent times Apollo received tho
honors or tho harvest restlval, but tho
rustics sacrificed to Vacuna, tho god
dess. Images or Vacuna woro made
or straw, wheat, barloy and ryo, and
woro carried about with singing and
encoring. Kvon now in England Im
ages mado of Btrnw crowned with flow
ers nro occasionally carried about und
called Cores tho goddess of agricul
ture. Apollo was formerly worshiped
In Dritnln, and tho Mny-polo Is a
protty relic or thoso dnyB. They dec
orated It with gnrlands to wclcomo tho
northwnrd coming or Apollo tho sun
at whoso npponranco tho flowers
and rrutt began to grow.
Various customs, all containing tho
samo Idea, havo prevailed In different
countries. In Scotland, when tho
roapors havo finished their work, a
omnl package or corn, called tho
"Corn Lady," Is hung up In tho house.
Tho ancient Egyptians offered aacrl
ilccs and made offerings of corn and
wlno to Lelth, tho mothor of tho sun.
Wheat, according to both sacred and
socular history, was tho most impor
tant grain grown In Egypt, and tho
modo or harvesting It Is Interesting.
Instead or tho usual method the reap
ers cut tho straw just below tho car
or corn. It was carried In bags to tho
threshing floor, whoro It wns trodden
out by oxen. Sometimes the whoat
wu reaped In tho usual way and.

bound up In sheaves, but oxen wor
always employed to soparuto the
wheat rrom tho straw.
Wlint Is known as "tho shouting of
tho churn," comes down rrom tho time
when Apollo was worshiped In Eng
land. Tho churn or kern moans a ring
or clrclo formed by several persons
holding hands. Tho word churn also
signifies a chaplot worn around the
houd or curried suspended on a polo
In procession. So "tho shouting of
tho churn" means tho merriment that
always accompanied wearing a chaplot
or dancing In a clrclo.
Another old custom Is tho "kemp
Ing" of England, In Scotland called "a
mell." Moll is sometimes spelled
melon, which Is bettor, as a meleo,
or row, often resulted from contend
ing for leadership In dispatching the
Inst day's work In the Hold. Each
reapor loft a handful of tho harvest
uncut, nnd tho bonniest lass waa al
lowed to gather theso handfuls and to
mako out of them a "corn baby." Thla

In tho feast, and preserved for tho re
mainder of the year. Tho lass was
called the harvest queen. Sometlmee
Instead of being mado Into a doll the
products of tho field would bo formed

CARE OF THE SILVERWARE.
Only a Little Trouble to Keep It In
Perfect Condition.
Shining silver upon snowy linen is
beautiful, but It tnkes troublo lo keop
It In good condition. Tho tarnishing
of silver does not by any means Indl
oato that It is of poor quality; on t'no
contrary tho finer the Bllvor tho more
quickly it becomes discolored.
Silver kept In n room with open gaB
burners or coal stoves keops Its bril
liancy for a short tlmo only. Tarnish
ing can be prevented by .having tho
pieces lacquered; but tho lacquer,
though servlceublo for ornamental
pieces and tollot nrtlcleB, cannot bo
used on tho tnblo Bervlce. Tho lac
quered ware can bo kept In oxcellent
condition simply by dusting It lightly
and carefully and about onco a month
wiping it with a soft slightly dampened
cloth. Novor allow theso pieces to
becomo wet.
Tho Bllvcr that Is used dally can be
kopt In oxcollont condition by wash
ing thoroughly In BOft warm water
and soap overy day. All such silver
should bo washed well every Hecond
wook. In doing this bo careful not to
put sovernl pieces In tho pan togothor,
Tor this causes dents nnd scratches.
Haiti water or water that has boon
boiled Is tho best to use. Mako a
hoavy suds with n pure soap and add a
row tablespoouruls or ammonia. A
soft Bponge Is most sultablo for wash
ing silver, nnd a flno brush may bo em
ployed on tlio chased pieces or around
tho handles.
After wushlng tho silver well In tho
ammonia suds rlnso In clenr cold wa
ter nnd let It stand for n fow min
utes. If any polishing is necessary It
can bo dono nt this time. Common
whiting, wot with alcohol and rubbed
on with a soft flannel, makes an ox
cellent polish. After polishing wash
well ngaln. ,
Finally dip all the pieces In a bath
of boiling water nnd dry with n very
soft cloth. This last dip In tho clear
boiling water does much to proven!
further oxidation.
Cassa Roll (Original).
Cook ono and n half cupfuls or rice.
Huvo a half gallon bucket greased In
Bldo; put part of the rice Into tho

leaving a hollow In tho center. Fill
this with chill mndo ns follows: Put
a tnblespoonful of lard In pan; grind
an onion size or cup, put in greaso

Watercress Jelly.
An odd flavoring for gelatine, from
an American standpoint, Is watercross.
A German housckfepor declaroa It
makes a delicious variety, much ap
preciated by her family.
Tho gelatine is mndo In tho usual
way and while still hot the juice of
three or four largo handfuls of fresh
watercress Is poured Into It
Pound tho cress in n clean mortar,
ndd hair a glass or cold water and

to extract all the juice.
K tho plain taste or tho cress Is

lemon can bo ndded.
Home-Made Cream Cheese.
Take two quarts or thickly clab
bored milk and pour Into It a quart or
boiling water. Let It stand for ten
minutes or longer, then put into a per
fectly fresh cheesecloth bag and drnln
over night The next morning rub
thla chceso to n smooth pulp and
press through n rather coarse sieve.
Salt to taste, add gradually a half tea
spoonful of thick cream, pack into
small Jars or cups and stand away In
a cool placo Tor two weeks. At tho
end or that tlmo scrape off tho top
and turn from tho cups for use.

Four Good Things to Know.
When broiling steak, brush It ovor
with butter and flour to keep tho Julco
In. Add chopped sweet poppers to

dollghtful. Should soup bo too suit,
add n sliced raw potato and cook n

Comment and Suggestive Thought.
Solomon's Enrly Lllo nnd Training.
1. Ho was tho Hist boii or David
and Dathuticba after their legal mar
riage. 2. Ills nume, Solomon, means tho
Ponceful, ono whoso reign was foro
told to be a reign of pcaco and quiet
ness (1 Chron. 22:9). It mny havo
also expressed tho fact that David
hlniBoIf had found tho peace of for
glvencsB. Nathan called him .Todl
ilinh: "lleloved of Johovah."
3. Ills parental Inheritance wns ro
markably strong In sovernl directions.
'Ills father, David, was In tho maturity
pt his age, and his mother, tlathshoba,
was tho granddaughter or tho wlso
Ahlthophel, whoso ndvlco "wub as ir
n man had Inquired nt tho oraclo or
iGod."
4. His early environment had sev
eral advantages over that or Absalom,
jtho son or n heathen mother. Solo
mon was placed under tho caro and
training of tho prophet Nathan, a
faithful, pure nnd wlso teacher. Ho
would bo brought up thus In tho ro-,
llglon nnd learning of the Jews. Ho
developed a great tasto for sclonco
and literature (1 Kings 4:32-34). Ho
had tho advantages of being tho child
of David's later years nnd of bolng
under the lntluenco or tho subdued
piety which characterized thoso years.
His mother, too, doubtless joined with
David In his penitential piety, for sho
had great lnflucnco over him to tho
last.
On tho other hand, ho wna "born to
tho purple;" he was brought up In
luxury and wealth, and know nothing
of the hardships which dovoloped
much of the character of his father.
Tho Influences of the court wcro often
bud. He camo In contact with othor
princes and he hnd to resist nil tho
temptations of a beautiful and flat
tered youth.
5. Ho was probably 19 or 20 years
old when he began to reign.
There aro some very wholesomo les
sons from' this plcturo of Solomon.
(1) Almost every child born Into a
Christian family has greater opportu
nities and blessings than oven Solo
mon had. All Solomon's wisdom and
wealth could not bring him so many
advantages and comforts nnd bless
ings as a poor child may havo In thla
ago. How much God and your
parents expect of you. Mnny a hope
nnd joy depends on you for fruition.
(2) It Is a great advantago in many
ways not to bo born and brought up In
tho luxury of riches. Tho other ex
treme of deep poverty la as llttlo to
bo desired. But thut condition or
nolther poverty nor rlchos, whore tho
child must learn to work, loarn self
denial, learn to do his part in tho
family, and soes that only work nnd
energy can give him real succoss, Is
the best for all.
(3) It Is wisdom to put ourselves
under the best nnd strongest rollgloua
Influences. No ono enn usenpo temp
tation. Everyone must mako a choice
of the Influences nround blm. And
tho Influences ho chooses out of all
thoso which aro around hlra will largo
ly determine hla future llfo. Com
paro Durbank'B "Training of tho Hu
man Plant."
V. 39. "And all tho peoplo said, God
save King Solomon." Thoy nccepted
him as their king, "with shouts that
rent tho earth with tho sound there
of." Tho attempt of Adonljnh was
thus nlppod in tho bud. Tho kingdom
v,as a limited monarchy, porhapa tho
flrpt In history. In 1 Chronicles 28
and 29 thero Is nn nccount of a great
assombly of the princes, tho army of
ficers, tho statesmen, and tho Jowlsh
leaders, called by David. To thorn;
ho told his plans for tho templo, pro-1
sented Solomon to them as their
king, and entreated both him and tho
peoplo to keep all his commandments
with n perfect heart and a willing
mind, "that ye may possess this good
land, and lenvo It for an Inheritance
for your children nftor you forever."
And David Bald to Solomon his son:
"Ho strong nnd of good courage, and
do It: fear not, nor-bo dismayed, for
tho Lord God, evon my God, will bo
with thee; ho will not fnll thee, nor
forsako thoo, until thou host flnlshod
nil the work for the servico of tho
uouso of tho Lord" (1 Chron. 28:20).
Tho leadors accoptod Solomon as
king, proved that thoy woro In sym
patliy with his groat work by Im
monso contributions given with great
joy, and confirmed tholr allcgiunco by
religious sorvlces, and a groat feast of
thanksgiving.
God has given each of us a kingdom
to gain.
Threo Influences brought Solomon
to the throne. (1) His inhorltunco us
tho Bon of David nnd grandson of
Ahlthophel. (2) His Htnoaa for tho
placo and work. (3) Hla choice by
the people. There throo lnfluoncca
