Wh. Thanksgiving Surprise " IllM most tun-.\merlean Tlanks giving I ever, spenlt wats III i French hotel ten years ago," says at woman contlributor to the New York Globe. "'t'he proprleto wts a friendly old soul and liberal to a fault. Ile not only invited all the guests in the house to dinner. but he sent invitations to ex-guests as well. "One family who had spent the pre vious winter with him had gone home to America, leaving their daughter at school. Old M. liane sent an invita tli to the school, and,the (e1Caoiselle Amnericaine and a governess caine to Paris and spent the day at the hotel. "I had a country house near Paris then, but M. Blanc di not forget mle either. ,So I went into Paris, taking my two girls with me. The hotel was a small one, but well known. and it was a rendezvous for many Interest ing Americans. The tables were deck ed with holly and mistletoe. "M. Blane in his ardor had mixed up our American fetes. lie moved about, smiling mysteriously anad whispering to questioners that he had a surprise In store for us-a dessert which would make us all feel as. it we were not in Paris at all, but b.(ck in that faroff 'chez vous' (at home) whence we had come. "There was much laughing and mner riment, and we drank M. Blanc's health in his best wine as a mark of appreciation. His waiters soon appear ed tottering beneath the weight of a huge plum pudding wreathed in holly and bearing an American and a French flag. "Of course we heaped hi with praise. He beamed and beamed, pour ed brandy over his chef d'oeuvre and lighted it, served it himself and said to each person'as they thanked him: I)id I not tell you you would feel ciez vous? It is good and hot. Your na tional dishl Will you have some more fire?' " Thanksgiving and "Thanksliving." To sing a song of thanks to God is inspiring; to live a life of service with your brother is Improving the world. Were we less idealists we should view with fine satisfaction the sight of men 111(1 women differing In their religious iella'rs, yet joining toget her in thanak ing God. What we plead for is not at yearly thanksgiving to (o(1. but at daily tIan 1kslivig with (Goil. Our aam is not t'ont'nt to see uien sIt together o11e: at yea', ban ishiag prejudice and l hatred, but to behold them at work together, every (ay in the year absoluteiy for getting religious (iITerences, igmnoring theologleal doctrines and Judging a 1111111 by his (o1(1tct, not preiudgiag haim by hIs creed or race. The cele. InbatIon of this day is highly to be coml-; tiiled. It stands as the h' glaest ex presslon of present day religious ob servance, yet its true worth is only achleved when we carry into the entire year what the day symbolizes to us aill. Thanksgiving is praiseworthy, but thanksllving Is divine.-Itev. Dr. Ru dolph I. Coffee, Pittsburgh. Cause For Gratitude. If ever we are tempted to say that, though others have mutch to b~e thank ful for, our lives are hard and our p~athis are thorny let us stop a minute and see by what standard we are measuring our blessings. If we iook at a cripple plodding along witha cruatehes we cannot help being thank ful that wve have feet which serve tas well and that we can walk and ruan without so much as considering the effort. When the rain beats on the roof at night we may be thankful for the house that shelters us, Wh'len thte doctor calls naext door to see aln in. v'alid who is tossing with fever we auy be thankful that we are well. if ther-e at-e flo wet-s on the doorbell across the at reet we may be I thakful that theare ar-e no vaIcanlt chairs ha outr hiome.-Mar-garet 1-. Sanagster-. RINGING IN STHEr BIRD N TIE WAY ' TO THE++ + OVEN Gratitude A MIGHTY anthem, rising to the skies, Joined in on every hand Where men work out the pur poses of life, Resounds throughout the land. We greet the boundless store of ripened fields, The wealth of mill and mart, But all too often naught but these give out Song's keynote to the heart. F OR truest praise is in the soul of prayer, A hope of heaven's grace, Continued love in which mere worldly thought Can have no foremost place. So, while the organs swell and voices rise In music's varied tongue, Thanks even truer may go lip to God Unspoken anu unsung. -Peter A. Doyle in Baltimore American. In the Sixtoenth Century. Queen Elizabeth issued a proclamann tion for a day of thanksgiving, saying, "On Thanksgiving day no servie labor may be iperformied, and thanks should be offered for the Increase and abun dance or his fruits upon the face of the earth."

"The Samiaritans stood close togeth er to prevent the Mahometan specta tors, who delight to torment them, from snatching even a bit of wool, which would remain over and thus cause them to break the command, 'Ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning,'" says a writer in the Christian Herald. "After cleansing the lambs they re moved a front leg of each, and these were set apart as the priest's portion. A long wooden pole was then threaded through each of the prepared lambs, and was carried thus to the pit near by, wherein a largo fire, which had been kindled oarly in the evening, had burned down, leaving a bed of red-hot coals at the bottom. The poles, pro tected by metal at the lower end, were stuck into tills bed of coals, being long enough to reach to the top of the pit, the lambs thus suspended about half way up. A matting was placed over the mouth of the pit, which in turn was covered with earth, making .a sort of improvised oven, for the law do mands that 'they be roast with fire, not sodden with water.' "The sheep were left to roast until midnight-the appointed hour-and all but the guards retired to their teuts during the interval. "Being the guests of the Kahin, we went to his tent, and he edified us by reading the various laws in Leviticus concerning the sacrifices, besides the chapter which gives the narrative of the first Passoyer." EYES TOO MUCH NEGLECTED' Residents of Cities, in the Aggregate, Are the Chief Offenders, for Various Reasons. The farmer at work in his fields all day long has much better eyesight than the city resident. .Farmers, as a rule, have no need of artificial aid to the eyes until old ago comes upon them. On the farm the eyes receive more rest than in the city, because they work at more natural angles. The farmer's work is not right up under his nose. In cases of most city peo ple their work is over books or ma chines, and they have a habit of stoop ing over it. This affects the eyes so that glasses are necessary for relief. Nine-tenths of the people who are suffering fromt headaches and who wonder what the trouble is can blame them on the treat mont they give their eyca. Not enough city people wear glas:ses. Perhap.;<o in fifty wears glasses whre the av erage should be about one 'i every ten. Children are affected in this way. Most children lean over their dcewk and have their eyes close to their books. Teachers sho1uld pwerent them; from doing this. Where chiliren erre forced to wear glass;es it is not neO'3 sary that they should havo to wear them all the time. When the clil iren are at play they ought, in most cases, to he allowed to go without their glasses. .(-4. Be Guidlad y Xothexs WhoKnow-d ?'
