Hy M i?H LiQUIm Nettle* Oyr I irnt Thanksgiving Day. Children. do you know the story Of the tlfSt Thanksgiving day, Ft>tti"lv<! by (,ur Pilgrim fathers .? t lino -so fur away ? Tin y iiud Riven for religion U:caith. and comfort, yen, and more, Left tnc-ii homes and friends and kin dred ji'or a bleak and barren shore. On 'New Kngland's rugged headlands, Xow where peaceful Plymouth lies, Tht* re they built their rough log .ibins, a 'Neath the cold, forbidding skies. Want niul sickness, death and sorrow, Met their eyes on every hand, And before the springtime reached theili, They had buried half their band. But tluii noble, brave endurance was' not exercised in vain, Summer brought them brighter pros pects, ? Ripening seed and waving grain. And the patient Pilgrim mothers, As the harvest time drew near, hooked with happy, thankful faces, At the full corn in the ear.* So the governor, William Bradford, In the gladness of his heart, To praise God for all His mercies Set a special day apart. This was in the autumn, children, Sixteen hundred twenty-one, Scarce a year from when they landed And the colony begun. And now when, in late November, Our Thanksgiving feast is spread, Tis the same time-honored custom Of those Pilgrims long since dead. We shall never know the terrors That they braved, years, years ago, Hut for all their struggles gave us We our gratitude can show. And tii*.- children cf New JDnjHand. If they feast, or praise, or pray, .Should bless God for those brave Pil grims ; A lid their first Thanksgiving day. ?Youth's Companion. (Juests of Winthrop Daughters. Dr. I). B.

Speaking of scarabs, and the wave of Egyptian lnlluence'brlngs the scarab again Into prominence, Leonlde C. LaV eron, Chicago, a recognized authority on Jewelry design and kindred -sub Jects In art, says : "To mount scarabs correctly, follow the design of the Egyptians used when the scarab was worn by the kings In the Valley of the Nile. Any de parture from this design Is utterly lacking in artistry. Miss Laveron sketched off in pencil the correct design. The king wore the scarab In a ring. A gold bar passed through the body of the scarab ending in knobs at either end, so tne scarab revolved on the bar. This was attached to a ring, on the sides Hanked with twisted gold wire. The. cartouche of the king was on the obverse side of the scarab. The king used the ring as a seal. The other correct mountings, ac cording to Miss Laveron, is the scarab In the center of a bar pin, flanked by wings or by the head of the sun god or the asp. All of these motif were used In t lie days when scarabs were worn as a sign of rank. Ask for Large Sum. Something Hke $925,000 is required to establish women's colleges at Ox ford, and while women have been tak ing advantage of the educational op 'portbnities offered there, no women's colleges have yet been possible. The London Times in an editorial calls at tention to the fact that many of the endowments have been made by wo m^n and that "piety," never lacking in the national character, should inspire all those who have had the advantage of such endowments to help the good oanse of tiie "women's colleges" at Ox ford. It Is hard times in England and it is not easy to raise mich a large sum, ? although The editorial asserts that :l'n? one in theory grudges the money* or would deny a university education to as many women as are worthy of It." Harvard' university in Radcllffe col lege has long had a woman's college of which It Is Justly (protid. Rain-Making" Not Feasible. Rain-making Is a futile undertaking, according to the vseather bureau, xUnit ed States Department of Agriculture. To produce one Inch of rafnfatt over an orea of an acre, approximately 113 tons of moisture would have to be drawn up Into the air and then precipi tated. There are 040 acres in iv square mile, for which 72,320 tons of moisture would be required. A square mile, however, wouUl be scarcely a dot in the center of any section where drought prevails, as in Arizona or parts of Te*as. It would be less than one seventh of the area of the District of Columbia. Odd incident. ~ Just recently I went hunting. I had only gone a little way when 1 saw a rabbit and fired at him with my shot gun. There was a tremendous nolso and for a while I couldn't hear or see a thing. Then I noticed that the gun barrel had disappeared and I was left holding the stock. Later I found the gun barrel, which was bent from the accident, lying In the weeds about ten feet fr'Om where I had been standing. I considered myself very lucky as I wasn't injured in any way,?
