f OlfefeRVED AROUND WORLD Thanksgiving in Various Forms Noted Among Many Peoples. MXRICANS BOOST THE DAY A Festival Bowling Dawn the On. tarlee Ilnlda Ita Own Readily mm Modern Inven tion. Thanksgiving day Is the only one of our general holidays which tray be said to be unique. The truth of this assertion Is realised when we recall the almost nnl veraal observance of Christmas. Kapler and 'K New Tear's day. Kvcn Independence day has It prototype on the taloKlarj of other lans. But Thankszlvlng appears to he cMstlnctly an American holiday without its counterpart among other nations. The feel lng of thanksgiving, of rejoicing and plcss trt, howaver, la on which all hnmnnlty ' ahares. Consequently th"re are occasions In tha records of all countries when the spirit of good cher and of reverent ctntl- tude la predominant. Although such even's i nay not yet have attained the dignity of ' a rational holiday, they are nnna tha less ,' real thanksgiving days. Furh an observance occurred In T.eyden, Holland, October 3, li;5. when the deliv-r-I anna of the city from siege was coTimemov ' aled In a day act apart for the purpose Just aa the grateful Turltans on the shores of tha new world, half a century later, celebrated their release from dire stress and peril. It su thirty-three years before Governor Bradford's famous first Thanks- j giving- dy that Kngland enjoyed a thanks i giving Jay over the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Iays of rejoicing hava been ob servel In Russia to signalize the escape of the ruler from attempted assassination, l-raice, too, has had Ita special thanksgiv- l day. In oriental lands It is fTe custom tc appoint days of thanksgiving, both fUbllo and private, for what are regarded epoch-making events the birthday of a ruler, tha birth of an heir or the marriage 4? a daughter. iinrm Anmy Bark, Harvest home festivals, which are a species of thanksgiving feasts, have been the order In Kngland, It la said, since the jmM of the Druids. Similar observances are In vogue In Japan and In China at the close of a successful harvest. Tha Hebrews, In whatever part of the globe they are ( located, celebrate In some fashion the ancient harvest "feast of Ingathering." which more nearly approaches in spirit and purpose our American Thanksgiving holl day than that In any other land, com memorating as It does the struggles of a migrating. Intensive body of people seeking freedom for national development along lines of their own Individuality and pur pose. In Turkey, among the Mohammedans, recovery from severe sickness Is often the occasion of a thanksgiving ceremonial and feast. At such times the company meets In the courtyard of the dwelling, and, dancing in a circle about the convalescent, they first play gay InatrumentaJ music, and afterward, silting on the ground, sing a chant of thanksgiving for his recovery. Then they each take the patient by the hand and offer congratulations and good wishes. This ceremony is followed by the feast, a tender roast kid or "fatted calf," eaten with thin pieces of board used as noons. With a Dartlnr nnv th. ervanoe ends. Primitive Observance. A primitive thanksgiving observance Is that which Is celebrated In Old Mexico, where bread for the Thanksgiving feast Is ground from corn or beans on the ab- vfisuiai .tuna. ihtko caicn or. usn. cap tured by the native method of poisoning the stream with agave Juice and stupefy ing the fish.

I!y flsh ( through holes In the Ice, the native Askan manages to get material for hlB thanksgiving feast, which Is greatly aug mented If walrus meat, the most highly priced Item on the meagre bill-of-fare, ran be added to It. The Alaskan, appar ently, has loss than any other Inhabitant of the globe to be thankful for, yet he ' observes his thanksgiving day no less earnestly. Wherever, the world around, the Ameri can la found, there Thanksgiving day is observed aa nearly as possible after trie Am-ylcan fashion At Home. Italv. the AmAican college gives a Thunksglving luncheon; and a Thanksgiving service is held at the American church, where the collection Is usually forwarded for some charitable enterprise In the home land. re is no turkey dinner for the Ameii- down In the Panama canal country 0-' Thanksgiving time.

At this great annual feast there Is n j nationality that does not participate. The Indians (whose ahotlginal aneestrus, the first possessors of this rich land, were guests of honor at the first American Thanksgiving of the I'lymouth colony) are enthusiasts In their observance of its pro gram. In the reservation it Is a day of rest and of amusement, feasting and ath letic sports. At night the Indians of certain tribes takt pert in a "green-corn dance." at which thanks are offered the Oreat Spirit for the good crops which they have had. However slow our transplanted cit Ijsens from across the seas may be In adopt ing some American customs, the Thanks giving feast appears to have Instant appeal to them, and they are not long in becoming naturalized In this respect. The Italians and the Russian Jews in our great cities, each of whom would constitute a city by themselves, attend Thanksgiving services In their churches in the morning, contribute to some charitable work, and later have Thanksgiving dinner and family assembly. Apropos of this acceptance of our happy home festival by aliens doni'St Ic tcd In America.

All the nations of the world, emblcmlzed by "the seventy offerings" of that ancient feast, are now for the first time In history assembled In the United States of America. The sublime spectacle Is thus here presented of the representa tives of all races, nations, tongues and creeds, celebrating a common festival of peace offerings of gratitude to their com mon Father. Jane A. Ptewart In Leslie's. OLD HOTEL CLERK KNOWS 'EM Temperament of (iursts t'omra Oat In Action When They Register Their Names. "Do I believe that a man's name as he writes It is an Indication of his character?" repeated a hotel clerk who has been be hind the counter In several cities. "I don't know about character, but I do know that the best of them unmiisk their real temperament when they write their names on a hotel register and I hold that there's a aifferunce between character atid temper ament. "A man may be blllious and yet have a good character. A man may bo a crank and yet hold a Job In a bank. I knew a preacher who had a case of dyspepsia that would have made an angel Jump over a ten-rail fence, but he was all right on the religious goose. I'm talking about temperament that shows itself when a man grubs a pen and writes his name on the register and where he hails from. "When a man spreads a John Hancock brand of chlrography oh the book of ar rivals, I know what sort of room he wants. I know he has to have a bed in which he can wallow like a buffalo. "When a guest writes his name as he would sign it In a lady's album I put him In the finicky class. I know he wants a thin glass from which to drink Ice water. "The arrival who uncovers himself the quickest la the one who tries to write dif ferently from anybody else and has an ac quired autograph. The man who develops the trait of getting something under false pretences begins by trying to assume an autograph. I always know that this fel low will have a rumpus with the waiter or the bellhop or the liquid dispenser. "There is one chap that reaches my heart the one who writes 'and wife' for the first time after his own name. He can't disguise the fact by his manner, to say nothing of his chlrogruphy, that he has Just started on the first lap of his honeymoon. He doesn't try to counterfeit his natural penmanship, but he writes 'and wife' as If he though we were on, wonder ing how we knew it. "All things being equal, the newly mar ried arrival Is the most agreeable guest In the house. A fellow with a new wife wears velvet shoes so that his kick is never felt. I think If anybody writes a perfectly nat ural autograph it Is the man who has Just been married. Then if ever a man tries to be Just what he Is." Latest Fad In Stork laxds. Perhaps the latest thing In the way of cards is the stork card, used by happy parents to announce to relatives and friends a visit from ttie stork. It Is en graved in blank form like this: Arrived at This rtav of. (Official Weight.... Seal.) .1W. Within the seal In the lower left hand corner of the card Is a tiny engraved figure of a stork.

Thanksgiving dinners In the tinted States might he classified in four divisions, vary ing in elaboration, elegance and bountiful ness. Home m.inagers of fashionable res taurants mention $10 a pinto as a con servative estimate of the cost of a dinner, admitting genially that the $10 limit should he elns'ic if the host happens to have a pretty taste In wines and knows the subtle diversities that lurk In rare vlrtages. From the $10 a plate to the 60-cent table d'hote of French or Italian parentage is a step, a long step, but It Is a Journey taken by many. The Thnnksgh lug dinner of the homo hfls In many Instances but little relation ship with the picture that the word of four letters brings to the visualizing memory. It Is an elaborate function, the members of the family added to by many guests, the menu vying with that of the Fifth avenue hotels of New York in magnificence. K.very country in the world is called upon to add Its quota of supplies. It may begin with a hots d'oeuvre from Siberia and end with fruit from Africa. The decorations of orchids may have come from the Jungles of South America and cost not only hun dreds ef dollars, but lives as well. If one Is not invited to such a dinner and there Is no money In the purse, and per haps no purse to hold the money If It should surprisingly come, there are Salva tion Army feeds; in fact the city at this season Is fairly freckled with doors hos pitably opened, exhaling the most delicious fragrance In the world that of browned cuticle on the back of a certain bird. Real Home Dinner. Last, but by no means least. Is the real home dinner not the one erroneously so named. Horn there Is a table fairly groan ing with good things. There are no hand paintexl menus or name cards to designate the rank of guests. The food Is of the kind grandmother made, and the three or per haps four generations who sit about the board attest the fact that notwithstanding the fact that the word Thanksgiving haa come to mean little else for some than an excuse for magnlflcance there are a few of the faithful left who prefer the noble bird and the pumpkin pie to the dishes whose real characters are concealed by French nomeclature and dressing. Turkeys ready for the Thanksgiving table are already heaped high. Notwith standing tho fillip given the Rhode Island trade by White House favor, it is stated by some of the knowing that every year the New York market gets less and less of these precious hlrds. Boston taking the greater part of a crop which does not seem to be augmented as time moves on. The Rhode Island turkeys when they do come arrive minus head and claws and the elimination Is paid for by the addi tion of 2 or S cents a pound. From 30 to 30 cents a pound is asked In the markets for these birds. I.Ike many other good old-fashioned cus toms, the passing of the turkey as the piece de resistance is noted. Chickens and ducks and game of all kinds run a close second. The guinea hens are very popular this year and may be had for $1.00 a brace, while even squab, fat and 40 cents apiece, are selected by some housewives. Two Kinds of Pnmpkina.

The lettuce which ac companies the tomatues from tho IxinK Island farms Is grown undr salt hay and Is said to have a particularly crisp air about it. Just at present the endive is the popular foundation for the salad and this must come from the French markets.

There are even a few of '-he Golden Queen watermelons in some Rochester gar den amid sheltered conditions, which are said to have finest flavor of any.

The decorations of the ThanksgivingJ table follow the season's ruling, and the autumn leaves, chrysanthemums and ber ries are popular to the exclusion of more delicate trimmings. A table arranged by a professional decorator, had only a large' pumpkin of deeply golden tint in the center.

Proposing tn save the people of this country at least $10,0fl0.000 each year,' plan for a National Aububon university to be endowed with $1,000,000 were announced in this city today. Based upon the known annual crop loss of l,O0O,O00,O00 due to the spreading pests that the Insect eating birds destroy, the calcu lations of the National Association of Au dubon societies, which Is putting forth this project, show that the teaching of bird value from such an Institution must result In wiping out at least 1 per cent of the huge national penalty for popular lack of knowledge on this subject. When $1,000,000 can be raised for the new uni versity, It Is proposed to at once start ita work, which promises to eventually contribute $100,000,000 to American pros perity. Kvery Person a Student. Kvery man, woman and child through out the United States Is to be Included as a student In the proposed Audubon uni versity. Through hundreds of lectures and teachers, who are to be educated In the science of nature's check to the destruction of the country's crops and woods, the economic principles of bird preservation will be taught to the people of every com munity. By means of university extension and correspondence courses the saving ef fect of the wild birds upon agriculture in every section will be presented to the workers on the $A.ono.OW farms of the coun try.
