THE AMERICAN- THANKSGIVING
The isanlns year grows brown and gray
and dull,
And poets sing "November, black and
acre";
r.ut from the bounteous garnered liar
tbt store,
With grateful hearts we draw Thanks
giving cheer.
In the American calendar of spe
cially Appointed days set apart for the
celebration of marked events in our
nation's history, there is but one other
which we consider of the same impor
tance as Thanksgiving. This is the
day which celebrates the victory of
that spirit of independence so charac
teristic of the American, the day be
loved by -the small boy, the "glorious
Fourth of July."
The descendants or those sturdy foie
falhers and fore-mothers, wlio orig
inated this Ametlcan version of the
Jewish feast of the Tabernacle, the
Curenlla of the Romans, the Harvest
Home of the Saxon and Celt, have made
n wide departure from the observances
or their ancestors, although they still
leUJn the institution, and certainly
with good and sufficient teason when
we consider how blessings uud boun
ties have been showered upon us, a
hundred times one hundred fold, since
that little band or less than a hun
dred brave, courageous, much-tried
souls on that bleak New England coast,
appointed a day Tor special thanksgiv
ing, because they weie still alive, free
and able to obtain food and drink moie
than sufficient for the barest necessi
ties of life: for hair their original
number had died on account of the
terrible hardships they encountered.
In fact, we should celebrate our
Thanksgiving with new and increasing
fervor each year, although perhaps not
in the same manner that the stern old
Puritan deemed most fitting.
The one feature "old families" still
retain, and a form or entertainment

most dcslrnblo and suitable for the
busy, restless American, i9 the house
party. Tills gathering should he ns
far as possible from a formal or fash
ionable one, but bo more of u family as
sembly from far and near, nn "at
home" day to one's own people, nnd
the neighbor without a home, who finds
It hard to be thankful for the good
times he sees but Is not a partaker
thereof.
A Thanksgiving house-party has ad
vantages over the Christmas gather
ing, as In most sections the seasons al
low outdoor entertainment for the guest
and there Is yet abundant materials for
the decoration or the house which are
Inexpensive and appropriate. Quests
who arrive early will enjoy taking part
in an expedition In search or the au
tumn leaves, hardy ferns, laurel, led
berries and such available materials;
and also find pleasure in arranging
these afterward. This gives the
"homev feeling" so grateful to the
world-weary, and also relieves the hos
tess very materially If she Is too busy
with other matters to assume this re
sponsibility. The long-sighted home
maker will provide Tor this exigency,
In a measure, during her summer ram
bles In the country; but nature helps
even the less provident by furnishing
the rich, brilliant autumn colors in
fruit and vegetable and nuts, and the
chrysanthemums are most essentially
the Thanksgiving flower.
The Thanksgiving Dinner.
However elaborate and elegant the
dinner may be, tliete must be certain
indlspensables on the Thanksgiving
menu. The turkey, of course, as every
body associates the two most naturally
as being peculiarly American. And the
pumpkin pie, the golden crown of this
generous banquet, must not he omit
ted, or the piquant little cranberry,
which doubtless was discovered by our
New England forbears, in the marshes
of Cape Cod. Neither must the crisp,
refreshing celery bo forgotten as it lias
a close affinity with the toothsome
Turk. Baked potatoes, white and
sweet, apple pie, nuts, "raisins and cof
fee; all these make a dinner simple,
wholesome, appetizing and in keeping
with the day. More may be added if
one wishes to display lavlshness rather
than good taste or regard for hygienic
laws, but more cannof'be as honestly
enjoyed from the oldest to the youngest
guest. With the simpler viands none
need be debarred on account of rich
ness or ludigestibllity.
The wile and mother who Is the work
ing housekeeper as well, is unjust to
herself, her family and her guests if
she undertakes a more elaborate din
ner than her time, strength and le
souices allow. That all may enjoy the
dinner prepared by mother's hands, and
she heiself not be too tired to further
add to the pleasure or the occasion by
eating, and enjoying, as well as tak
ing part in the lively conversation of
the table, let everything be simplified
as much as possible, so that theie be no
confusion to make the guest conscious
of nn elfort to furnish entertainment.
Oysters on the half shell may appro
pi lately take the place of soup, and
serve as a fish course as well. This
course entails so little double where it
is possible to obtain the unopened oys
teis fioni the dealer, who will deliver
them opened on the half shell, packed
on cracked ice, at a stated time, charg
ing perhaps, an extra ten cents per doz
en, which any busy housewife will
o-inriiv mi v. When readv to serve the
oysters icquiies hut a few seconds to
remove them from the ice to a chilled
plate, half a dozen oysters Tor each
guest, and place the half or a lemon
and spray of parsley or ciess hi the
center. Vinegar, catsup and pepper
sauce may he placed on the table for
those who season their oysters with
these, and prefer to eat them as a
cocktail.
Cranberry jelly may be made "days"
before it is needed and will be all the
better for standing. The turkey is Im
proved, If the weather is cool enough,
by stuffing and trussing it at least a
day previous to its roasting, as the sea
soning in the dressing 'permeates the

flesh more effectually. Wash, trim and
blanch the celery a day or two pre
vious to the feast, wrap in a damp
white cloth and lay on ice. and you
will have It as tender and crisp as It
Is sweet.
The pics should not stand over night
after baking, ns there is danger of their
being a little soggy from soaking, but
the crust may bo prepared and the pis
plate lined, the pumpkin mixture pre
pared on the day previous and alt kept
covered and very cold until Thanksgiv
ing morning, nnd then baked while the
oven Is getting welt heated for tho tur
key. Such nn nrrnngement leaves little
work on the all-Important day, nnd
obviates all hurry und worry, and moth
er nnd cook can enjoy the dinner with
ns thankful hearts as those for whom
the feast lion been prepared.
Grandmother's Pumpkin Pie.
If you wish to make your pumpkin
pie tnste just like grandmother's, you
must retain the strong, rich flavor of
tho pumpkin just as she did. Select a
small sugar pumpkin of deep yellow
color, pare off the rind after cutting
into Inch slices, then cut Into pieces
two Inches long; put Into a stew pail
or steamer, adding barely enough boil
ing water to cover and set over the fire
where It cannot burn, while It steams
or cooks three or four hours until nil
the water has evaporated. Then press
tho pulp' through a fine slevo or colan
der. While tho pumpkin Is still hot,
stir In a large tablespoon of butter
and 'three of thick sweet cream. For
each pie, filling to tho depth of an Inch
or more, add one cup of hot milk to a
cup and a half of the pumpkin pulp, the
yolk of an egg beaten, half a cup of
sugar, a saltspoonful of salt and a very
little ground cinnamon. Mix well to
gether; last beat the whites of the
eggs very light and stir in lightly. Put
a fluted rim of the pie paste around the
edge of the lined dish. Bake in a slow
oven until firm in the tenter.
Turkey, Bourgoise Style.
This is a very excellent way to servo
the Thanksgiving turkey if you desire
a change. Singe, draw and truss the
bird as for roasting, but do not stuff it.
Place It in a very hot oven and baste
it well with butter until It roasts a
nice brown. Put .a few slices of veal
in the bottom of a stewing kettle, place
the turkey on top of these, rover with
slices of bacon, and put in enough
stock or broth to cover, a hunch of
sweet herbs and seasoning of salt and
pepper and let simmer at a moderate
heat until the turkey is very tender;
then take it out and place on a hot
dish. Strain the stock, skimming off
every particle of fat, and reduce it
down; make a brown glaze and pour
over the turkey and servo.
Boast Turkey Stuffed With Sweet
Potatoes.
If you prefer to reserve your chest
nut stuffing until the Christmas turkey
is served, try the following substitute;
Take a quart of mashed sweet potatoes,
that have been roasted and sieved;
mix with a cupful of bread crumbs,
four level tablespoonfuls of bread but
ter, a beaten egg, a teaspoonful of
poultry seasoning and salt and pepper
to taste. Dust the inside of the turkey
with salt and pepper, fill with the stuf
fing; truss, spread with butter or slices
of fat pork nnd toast. Serve with a
garnish of sprigs of white celery tips
and sausase cakes.
Chestnut Croquettes.
These make a delicious accompani
ment to the Thanksgiving turkey and
may take the place of potatoes if the
latter are served with n lisli course.
Shell fifty French chestnuts, cover with
water and boil half an hour, then
pound the nuts very fine, add a table
spoonful of butter and pound until
mixed to a paste, add another
tablespoonful of butter, a salt
spoon of salt and pound tern minute.
Then add a cup of cream, a Utile at a
time. Wiien all is worked in, press
through a sieve. Heat three eggs until
light and stir into the mixture. Turn
into a double boiler and cook eight or
ten minutes, stirring constantly. By
this time it should be smooth and thick.
Turn out on a shallow- dish to cool;
then butler the hands slightly and form
the paste Into little balls or cones; dip
Into beaten egg and then into fine bread
crumbs and fry them in deep hot fat
until a delicate brown.
Inquiries Answeied.
M. S. P. writes: I am much interest

be glad if you would print recipes for
the following, which I cannot find in
any cook book: Baked bean raieblt,

Baked Bean Rarebit.

Is melted, then pour over very thin
toaBted slices of brown bread.
Creamed Tomatoes.
This leclpo Is intended for ripe toma
toes, but wholo canned tonmtoea can be
used if they are quite solid and firm
Put these on fiut baking dishes and

dish and pour the hot wuice around
them and serve at once.
Egg" Slaw,
Trim tho outside leaves from a small,
heavy head of cabbage; cut Into quar
ters, and throw into cold water and let
soak until crisp; then shake and drain
out all the water and slice the cabbage

How This Very Curious Plant De
rived Its Name.
Fiom the London Cilobe,
Science, as every one knows, Is very
often the interpreter of legend, as of
ten almost as It is the destroyer of
myth and superstition. A notable In
stance of this happy fate has just been
discovered In relation to the humble
and familiar wild flower, the .stone
crop, a flower which is known in the
lake legion as the thunder flower, in
Belgium as dundei blomen, and at
Arras as ileur de tonnerre. The Phar
maceutical Journal has discovered the
following interesting Explanation of
this extraordinary name:
Two pharmacists, it is related, were
once walking together, when they
stopped to admire a flue prolusion of
the stoiiecrop on the 100L' and the out
buildings of a primitive farm house.
The tenant, an ngect liut hale and
hearty woman, informed the men of
science that a building was piotected
from thunderstorms by the stoneerop,
and she told how that very house was
saved by its Intervention. "In my
grandfather's time," she said, "the
lightning struck the roof and turned
the thunder flowers all to n jelly, hut
the house was saved, and that Is why
it is called the thunder flower."
In defense of this pleasing theory,
which sounds so very much like a le
gend, It Is pointed out that tho stone
crop Is very probably a natural light
ning conductor, seeing that It is suc
culent nnd full of water.
THE VALUE OF TIME.
William Mathews, In Success,
Mudamo de Cienlls, In a woik on
"Time," tells us tliut tho famous Chan
cellor D'Aguesseau, observing that his
wife always delayed ten or twelve min
utes before she cume down to dinner,
and, teluctant to lose ho much time
dally, began the composition of a work
which he prosecuted only while thus
kept waiting. At the end of fifteen
years, a book In tluee quarto volumes
was completed, which ran through
three editions, und was held In high
repute, Madame do Genlls profited by
this example. Having to wait at tho
dinner hour In tho Palais Itoyal for
Madame de Chartres, who was always
fifteen or twenty minutes late, she util
ised the time by copying a selection of
poems from eminent authors.
It is told of a German critic that he
could lepeat the entire "Iliad" of
Homer with scarcely an erior, How
many years, think you, did ho spend In
depositing the Immortal epic In his
brain? Years he hud not to spare, or
months, or weeks, or even entire days,
for he was a physician in the full tide
of practice; but he contrived to store
In his memory the twenty-four books
Of the old bard of "Sola's rocky Isle" In
the brief, disconnected snatches of time
while hurrying from one patient to an
other. Dr. Mason Good, a celebrated
English physician, pel formed a similar
feat, having contrived to translate tho
whole of Lucretius duilug his long
wulks In London to visit his patients.
