THE REAL TH AN KS GIVING .
When the cbestout burrs are op'ning
And the leaves are leaving fast,
They are bustling up at gran'pop's
To prepare tbe grand repast,
That tbe city sons and daughters
Yearly get from dear gran'marro ;
When they go to spend Thanksgiving,
Yes, Thanksgiving at tbe farm.
How they crowd the loved old farm kouse
With their children great and small,
Till tbey overflow tbe bedrooms
And must carnp out iu tbe ball !
Ob, tbe way they keep increising,
Fills tbe old folks with alarm,
At the advent of Thanksgiving ;
Yes, That.ksgiving at the farm !
Bat it last tbe guests most scatter ;
They most all go back to town ;
While tbs old-time peace and qniet
On tbe household se;tles down.
Then the dear old folks just revel
In its pleasant, peaceful charm?
And, I tell you, there's Thanksgiving ;
Yes, Thanksgiving at the farm !

Phrygian Cap and the Knout.
The French republic, thanks to the
alliance between the Phrygian cap and
the knout, has done its best to make its
soil insecure for those who fled from the
tyranny of czardom. Among Russian
exiles living at Zurich, Geneva, and
Lausanne spies have latterly been intro
duced, even in the guise of alleged lady
students of the same nationality. In
England alone proscribed Russians are
free, and in England, partly in conse
quence of their contact with the quiet
operation of parliamentary institutions,
partly on account of a change of feeling
among the cultured classes of theiz
own country, men like Stepniak, the
author of "Underground Russia" and
kindred works, who once had a hand in
the fierce active fight against autocracy
by all available means of irregular war
fare, have gradually ceased to be con
nected with the organization of so call
ed terroristic attempts. Their London
monthly organ, Free Russia, shows how
much they have moderated their de
mands.
If the young emperor would only
consent to the introduction of some
kind of representative assembly, such
as all European nations have and as
even the sultan had adopted shortly be
fore Turkey was beaten down by the
armies of Alexander II, the reigning
czar would rally around him many who
are at present his adversaries in what is
believed to be the camp of the most ex
treme party.?North American Review
3?one to Waste.
The author of ' 'Campaigning in Sont h
Africa and Egypt" gives a pertinent
illustration of the virtue there is in
necessity. He had been asked by a
friendly Beer in Africa to go out shoot
ing. Accordingly, he writes, I took a
rifle and a bag of cartridges and set out
for the appointed spot. When I met my
friend, he said :
"What have you got in that bag?
your dinner?"
"No," I answered, "cartridges."
Whereupon he roared with laughter.
4 You Englishmen must be very rich, "
said he. "They cost sixpence apiece
here." .
"Where are yours?" I asked.
"In this," he answered, tapping his
double barreled rifle.
' " Yon don't intend to shoot much?"
"Twospring buck are all I can carry. "
"Suppose yon mi?s!"
"Nobody misses when a cartridge
costs sixpence."
There v.-as something instructive in
the remark. It perhaps proved why the
Boers had, in 1881, beaten the Eng
lish, for the Boer, unwiiling to waste
his ammunition, will aim and take
down his rifle a dozen times, nntil he is
satisfied that he is going to get some
thing for his cartridge.
On the occasion in question my friend
got his two bucks, while I fired five
cartridges and got one.

The Englishman Abroad.
} It is astonishing to note with what
j obstinacy English travelers on the con
tinent maintain English habits, how
ever nnsuited they may be to their sur
roundings. Under the broiling sun of
Italy or Spain we find English travelers
asking for a grilled steak cr roast beef.
Of course the steak is tough, tasteless
and indigestible, the "rosbif" raw in
the center, though burned outside, nasty
in flavor and leathery in substance, thus
constituting the most unsuitable article
of diet that could be taken under the
circumstances. Then the Englishman
will pay is. 3d. for a 4d. boti le cf Eng
lish ale, which is far too heavy and
I alcoholic for the climate, instead of
drinking the pure wine cf the country
that is supplied without stint and gra
tuitously at all meals. These British
peculiarities have done much to destroy
the advantages of foreign travel and to
render the better known hotels, which
are frequented by English families, as
expensive as the hotels in England.
The experienced continental traveler
who has learned to do at Rome as the
Romans do very carefully avoids the
hotels frequented by the English. He is
consequently treated with much great
er civility, is fed on dishes which the
natives know how to cook and which
the experience of centuries has proved
to be better suited to the climate and
economizes something like 50 per cent
on the cost of living. On the other
hand, he may have to content himself
with a very small washing basin?the
introduction cf - English habits in the
matter of personal ablution is much
needed?and the drainage of the hotels
may leave much to be desired. Never
theless, even in this last particular im
provements are, being effected every
day.?London Lancet
