And up to the time 1 of Washington, 100 years did not * mean very m^ch to the human race. c :^? The world moved very slowly. When 1 on Washington died, in 1799, people were his using the same sort of appliances and & doing t^e same things in tae same v ac* way that they did in 1699 and even in t >th- 1599. in former years, if a man could have returned to earth at the end of]2 ' i? -1J V*r\Trf\ Kaor* I i u> years, ne wuuiu uut umc the very much surprised at any of the a . F. changes that iiad taken place during 3 tits, his absence. But if Washington or lied Franklin or even Thomas Jefferson, a who died less than a century ago, were ? i ...?. U ' o come back to earth now. he would or iot know where he was. The world cr< ias changed more in the last 100 years di< han in any thousand years that have th ;one before. to To set some idea of the wonderful th hanges that have taken itolace, let us ly ;o back to Thanksgiving Viay in 1810 Yc md note how many, many things our nc ;reat-grandparents did not have Fi vhich we have today. It will not only wi istonish us, but it will also make lis nc ealize how much we have to be re hankful for. * ac In the first place, there was no A] " ' ? j? 101/1 lei : nanKSgiving uay m ioiv, cAtcpi m ? tew England. It was only a 'little >ver 40 years ago that the people all wi iver the United States began to cele- W] rate the day. Before that, if one did ! tot live.jn Boston or very close to it, trj te would never have eaten a Thanks- ru living dinner. But even those who nc irerefortunate.enough to live in New ^ Cnglandj., did not haVe anything like ie he ^rasiety of good things for dinner nc hat we. have today. Of ^urs^j thsy tb tad turkey and pumpkin|jjpie aim on- to ons >and cranberry sauced andjp>ota- od oes; but they did npt haie toiatoe^. th >r corn or peas or string beans or 'se >e||s or asparagus a^-ln^f th^othei [pr aianed vegetables that we' areraccuS-; pi 5?? s omcd to eating during She %interJ , nonths. There were no <?nne4rgoods $1 >f any kind. There were no tj? cans. ! ? Neither were there any cars to bring^-' fr resh fruits and vegetables?like pe Jtrawberries and tomatoes and^lettuce i nc ?fi?nm +1ia S/tiifh nrid from f!ajjfrrrr?i? Lto n fact, there were then no suc^places | be 11 the United States^ as Florida and m [*exa& and California. They were all ai >f them wiaste places or foreign lands, nc Chey belonged to Englapci and Spain da tnii France and Mexico. - "i- nt ? .JE . . 1 Oranges, bananas, pineapples, grape'tr y ?v? faj/rPjtfbr- i rait, olives, Malaga grapes a$d other ft i ropical fruits which are so iamiliar o all of us, were never seen m ^the 0}} narkets of 1810. Boys and g#rls of ga hat day only heard, about them from 0f ravelers or read of them in books. ge Dinners'. we^e cooked in fireplaces. Phere were 110 ranges.: There were ^ to gas stoves, no'oil stoves, no coal t0 ??t. - n r__ V.J_ ,1 loves, no cook tsuives ui <xuy. muu. fQ lousewives had no baking powder, 110 east cakes, no, self-raising flour, no rrannlated sugar, no flavoring exTracts, no ground spices, no cocoa, no m jotted meats, no catsup, no prepared >reakfast foods, no soda crackers, no ; nacaront Ail tne conee nan 10 oa oasted ana ground at home?..

All clothes were made by hand. 1 Phere were no ready-mad^ things of _ iny kind; not even shoes? or hats. 55 Nearly every family spun own wool ind flax and made Its own thread and rarn and cloth. The clothes for the >oys and girls and the men and women were made at home. So. also. vere the carpets, the candles, the L( ;oap, the mattresses and jthe chairs tnd tables. There were n$ furniture actories; no ready-made 'Idesks or K>ok cases or bedsteads o^ anything ilse. Such things as were noi made it honCs were made to order by the hoemaker or the hatter oCtthe tailor >r the cabinet maker. Clotaing stores, hoe stores, hat stores.) furniture ^ tores, were unheard of. jjf* In 1810 nobody wore rui^ers. That eas because there were no rubbers. i v ^here were no rubber goods of any :ind?overshoes, waterproofs, rainoats, rubber balls, pencil^, erasers, ^ tot water bags, or anything of that ort. There were no water hose or here were no fire engines* When a louse caught fire men pirt' it out, if hey could, by throwing buckets of __ skater on the flames. Gi Fireplaces were the only means of ;eeping a house warm. There were to furnaces; no coal stoves. Here and , here a wealthy family owned a woodturning stove, but that was a rare W uxury. Steam heating^ arid hot waoi? ViaQ finer wptp rmrirpflTn?l of. So. .lso, were kitchen ranges and hot wa- J er boilers. There were no bathrooms; j Cohere was no plumbing, and^the towns * lad no sewers. And not only had they J lo Sewers, but they also had no street ars. Even horse cars were unknown. ? 111 city travel was done on foot or by ^ (leans of horses and carriages. And ? any one vemureu out at uigui yc t arried )ii8 own light with him?a * antern with a candle in it?for there | ^ vere no street lamps. Electricity and j ;as and coal oil had not yet <?ome into i ise. The moon was the best light a own could have at night. Of course there were no airships or ^ Lutomobiles or motorcycles in 1810. p, Neither were there any bicycles, norj my railroads. The locomotive had not I ret been invented k and the steamboat Si vas being tried for the first time as in experiment. ! All travel was done on horseback by stage coach, and those who Dssed the ocean did it as Columbus d?in a sailing vessel. It was a ree-day's journey from Philadelphia Washington. Now you can make p trln in three hours. It took near a week for a letter to go from New >rk to Eostciv?as long a time as it iw requires to send a letter to -?an ancisco or to London, and the cost is six times as great. There were i postage stamps. The person who ceived a letter paid for it in cash, cording to the distance it had come, id there were no envelopes and no tter boxes. Letters were simply Ided and the corners held together ith sealing wax, and the address was ritten on the outside of the letter. As there were no railroads, news aveled only as fast as a horse could n or a ship could sail. There were i wires to carry messages, for there is no telegiiaph and there was no lephone. Consequently there were >t many newspapers, and such^ as ere were did not have muci^news print. Most of them were" Issued ily once a week, and such news of e world as they contained was from yeral flays to six months old. All inting Vas done by hand on wooden esses. The paper was macle from rags. All e- writing' was done with quill'pens the' bony" end o?-a feather plucked om a goose: Aere were no steel ins, no gold pens, no fountain pens, ^ctaaiufactured lead pencils, no blotrs, no typewriters., . Pictures in oks of persons or places were all ade from sketches drawn by hand id engraved on wood. There were i r?V? Anrro nV?o HA /?0 m^rQ C T1A 1t/V? I piiV/lUgl U^/UOy UV uy *w iks. .There was no such word as iotogi%h. Those who wanted poraits of themselves were obliged to re an artist to paint their pictures. But we must remember that in 1810 ir great-grandparents were perfectly tisfied and contented without any these things. They thought themlves very well off with what they td, and those who observed Thanks' ' - ? J- - 1^1 ving aay maue it a special yumi offer earnest thanks to Providence r their many blessings. . StiriBly, therefore, if they could find use for thanksgiving, how much pre thankful oughfc we to be in the idst of all the blessings of the age which we live. And what will it be in 2010?
