AN'S gratitude vm
the cause of the cus
tom of setting apart
one day of the year
as a dny of thanks
giving and praise to-
ward the Giver or
rery good and perfect gift. The his
tory of every nation of which records
V preserved contains references to
ays of thanksgiving from the Hebrew
test of Tabernacles, of which mention
made in the Bible, through the Greek
festival of Demeter, god of the harvest,
Hie Roman feast of Ceralia, goddess of
Kenty, to the Saxon Harvest-Home and
it own Thanksgiving, now universally
Observed as a national holiday.
The history of Thanksgiving In
America begins prior to the landing
t the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth
Bock in 1020. The first service of this
eharacter ever held In this country
CM celebrated on the bleak Newfound
nd coast In 1578 by an English clergy-
loan named Wolfall. who was connect
ed with the Froblshor exploring party,
rrobisher brought the first colony to
kettle on those shores; and to the Rev.
fir. Wolfall, otherwise unknown to
ime, belongs the credit or tne nrsi
tngellcal sermon and the first oie-
ation of .the communion in isorm
nerlca. It was a service of grnteful
ayer and praise for their safe arrival
ind escape from the dangers of the
eep.
Of similar character was the next
fecorded Thanksgiving service, twenty
felne years Inter, when the Popham col
tay arrived at Sagadahoc, on the const
f Mnlne, in August of 1007, and on
the nineteenth of that month laid clnlm
to the territory, unfurled the English
flag and observed the day as one of
praise and thanksgiving. This was
lUiree months after the landing of the
colonists nt Jamestown, in Virginia.
The Topham colony not only held the
first thanksgiving service on territory
Sow comprised within the United
States, but Rlso held the first popular
lection and chose the first officers to
govern an American community.
Thirteen years later came the Pil
grims, anchoring in Massachusetts Ray
on Saturday, December 0 (O. S.). They
deferred lnnding until Monday; despite
their long sojourn on the sea. and we
may well believe tlint their last Snb
fcnth service on shipboard was eloquent
urith gratitude and praises to "Him
.who hatb the steerage of our course."
During the cold and cruel winter that
followed almost one-half of the little
fcand were laid at rest on the bluff that
bad frowned upon the Mayflower, their
graves being leveled that the Indians
might not become aware of their di
minishing number. Hopefully the rem
nant tolled through the summer, gath
ering a fair harvest. The old chronicler
tells of indifferent barley and a failure
In peas, offset to some extent by twen
ty acres of good corn. But meat of
fleer and wild fowl was abundant, the
pestilence was slayed and they were
comfortably housed for the winter.
Therefore, on the twenty-fourth of Oc
tober Governor Bradford proclaimed a
thanksgiving feast. Carrying their
tnnskets they marched In staid pro
cession to the little meeting bouse, the
Governor lending the way, with Elder
Brewster reverently bearing the Bible
on his right, and plain, matter-of-fact
Miles Standish, the military chief of
the colony, at his left Law, supported
by the church and the army. It was
.worthy of mention In the old annals
that the elder's sermon was unusually
hort, not quite two hours! What
would a nineteenth century congrega
tion say to a discourse two hours
long? ,.
And then came the feast, at which
wrere displayed the fine napery and
household treasures brought from Old
England those precious relics whose
possession In these days Is the patent
of American birth and nobility. It was
n al fresco dinner. In the mild Indian
nmmer; and at this time and place
Vie American turkey, since sacred to
the day, made his first appearance as
the piece de resistance of a Thanks
giving dinner.
And after the solemn service in the
little church and the decorous feast,
erved with Puritan sedntcness, the
people returned to their homes, and
. the early darkness settled down upon
the little settlement, from which was
to grow so grand a nation. Suddenly
the peaceful night was broken by the
entry's peremptory challenge, the rat
tle of a drum, mingled with an Indian
hout, and every man grabbed his
trusty musket and rushed out, while
the souls of the women and children
quaked with fear. A jundred sav
ages poured down upon them Massa
aoit's braves, but on pacific errand
fcent They came to share the white
man's feast and brought deer and
other g.ame as their contribution. So
the fires were lit again, and the good
iwives baked and boiled for their un
expected guests, who entertained them
tj performing their dances amid wild
yells and menacing gestures. It was
thought prudent to show the fierce In
truders that the infant colony was not
iwlthout defense, so Captain Standish
ordered out his soldiers, drilled them,
and finally ended with a volley from
their muskets Into the treetops and the
discharge of the great cannon on the
bill and the smaller one at the Gov
ernor's door. The Indians were proper
ly impressed and begged the great Cap
tain not to make it thunder again.
Thus the first Thanksgiving of the
Pilgrim Fathers was a strange blend
ing of godly psalms and savage dances,
the rattle of firearms and Indian war-
whoops, with prayers and benedictions
typical, perchance, of the vicissitudes
to be encountered in their New World
home.
In November the ship Fortune ar
rived bringing thirty-five colonists,
and much-needed supplies of clothing
and ammunition, with news of the dear
ones at home. Another Thanksgiving
day was appointed, December 13.
In 1032 the little town of Boston was
threatened with famine. Their crops
had failed, and the ship which was
expected to bring supplies from Eng
land had not arrived. The colonists
feared the pitiless ocean had swallowed
vessel and her precious freight. They
were reduced to one scaeVv mea' a
day, and children cried on the streets
for bread. Governor Wlnthrop called
the men together, and after much de
liberation a hunting expedition, though
full of peril and toll, was determined
upon, it was reorunry; ine snow was
deep: the Indians, though not openly
hostile, were not averse to reducing
the number of the white invaders, and

they could illy spare any of their num-1
her. They decided to observe a day
of fasting and prayer on the morrow,
then venture Into the pathless forest
In search of game. But in the morn
ing, when they went out, there lay
upon the cold blue waters of the bay
the white wings of the long-expected
ship. The starving people rushed
down to the beach, tears in every eye,
hope and gratitude in every heart.
Their fasting was once again turned
Into feasting, their supplications Into
thanksgivings; and with one accord
they assembled at the church. It is
recorded that the minister read the
one hundred and third rsalm "Bless
the Lord, oh, my soul, and forget not
all His benefits!" voicing the thanks
of a grateful people who found the
ways of Providence, so mysterious
to our blind eyes, "a very present help
In time of trouble." For again and
again, as we read these old chronicles,
we are forced to acknowledge the fre
quent intervention of a Supreme Being
who seemed to hold the little com
munity in the hollow of Ills hand, in
terposlng His grace and mercy between
them and their ever present perils, as
If they were indeed Ills chosen few.
Again and again they were In direct
extremity, In danger of utter exter
mination by famine or mnssncre, when
help came unexpectedly through what
seems more than chance happenings
even to sceptics, and which the reel
pients grateful" 7 acknowledged as
heaven-sent relief.
In Colonial times it still remnined
the custom to observe special days of
thanksgiving. L'nder our present gov
ernment, a day of thanksgiving was
appointed by President Washington at
the request of Congress, the occasion
being the adoption of the Constitution
of the United States. At the close of
the War of 1812, President Madison,
J also at the request of Congress, an
nounced a day of thanksgiving for the
return of peace.
Since the war It has become an es
tablished custom that the last Thurs
day In November Shall be observed as
a general Thanksgiving Day through
out the federation of States. Marble

Cnrollne Mi l uinilik, In Harper Muga
ilne. Electro Magnets.
The familiar horseshoe magnet is
made of highly tempered steel and
magnetized so that one end Is a north
pole, the other a Bouth, or perhaps
more commonly known as a negative
and a positive. Once magnetized it Is
always magnetic unless the power is
drawn from It by exposure to lutenso
heat. An electro-magnet, however, can
be made from an scrap of soft Iron,
from a piece of ordinary telegraph wire
to a gigantic iron shaft. When a cur
rent of electricity passes through au
Insulated wire colled about a soft ob
ject such as a nail, a bolt or a rod, that
object becomes a magnet so long as a
urrent of electricity is passing through
the boils of wiro or helix. A coll of
wire in the form of a spiral spring
has a stronger field than a straight
wire carrying the same current, for
each turn or convolution adds Its mag
netic field to that of the other turns;
and by having the center of the coll
of Iron, which is a magnetic, body,
the strength of the magnetism Is
greatly increased. St. Nicholas.
Dumpling and the Dragon.
A boy who v;is nicknamed "Hump-
ling" had a new sword. It had a shax;
point and a bright shining blade which
slipped with a rattle and a tinkle Into
a tin sheath. The sheath 'hung from a
tine red belt; and when Dumpling
buckled on his sword he felt big veiy
big. Indeed, he left like a giant. And
if there was one thing which ho de
sired more than another It was that
he might some day encounter a drag
on.
Dumpling had never seen a real
dragon, but he had seen plenty of pic
lures of them, and ho had heard many
stories about them. He knew that
brave princes and bold warriors nearly
always came out victorious in their
battles with dragons. And so should
he! Every weed and bush that ho had
attacked , had gone down before his
conquering Bword.
Well, one night after Dumpling liKd
been snugly tucked under the covers
he Bhut his eyes and began to think
about dragons. He never wished quite
so much for them on a dark night as
he did out in the bright sunshine, how
ever. But anyway, ho suddenly woko up
and found that his wish had come trite.
Out on the lawn, right, in front of the
house, Ktanding straight up on his tall
and trying to look In at the window
where Dumpling slept, was a huge
dragon. It made the young warrior
shiver at first, but the moment ho
thought of his Bword his courage rose.
Quickly buckling the belt on, he
rushed to the window, raised It, drew
tho sword and aimed nt the monster i u
mighty blow. Tho blado merely rat
tled on tho horny hide, and Dumpling
was glad enough to draw back Into
the room. Then ho thought he might
have done better if ho had used tho
sharp point to stab the beast instead
of merely whacking him.
So he reached -out again and gave
tho dragou a furious ihrust. He must
have just touched tho tender spot, for
the sword went in half wait to the hilt.
With a roar of Aialn the beast bound
ed away. Dumpling cried, "My Sword!
My sword!" But no attention did tho
dragon give to the cries.
What to do Dumpling certainly did
not know. The dragon was gone, hia
new sword was gone. In a little while
he thought of Bacchus, the old black
ram who always made war upon every
thing that came near him.
Rushing down the back stairs and
out to the barn, wearing only his pa
jamas, Dumplln loosened the stable
door, went up to the old black ram,
jumped on his back, seized his horns
and turned his head in the direction
the dragon bad gone.
To follow the trail was easy enough,
because the monster In his mad flight
brushed away fences and other things
that stood In his way as If they had
been so much straw. So there was a
straight open path for the ram.
It was a wild chase. Dumpling dug
his heels viciously Into the ram's sides
to urge him on. Every dig increased
the ram's ire. His bleating was olinput
like the bellow of an angry bull.
Hearing this, the dragon turned
sharply around, opened his wide jaws
and waited. The sight struck Dump
ling dumb with terror. He saw the
dragon's plan; they both would bo
swallowed at one gulp. But Bacchus
had a plan, too, remembering his sharp
straight horns. This plan was no
sooner made than It was carried out.
Rushing straight Into the Dragon's
mouth he gave him a terrific butting
and struck his horns fast in tho mon
ster's throat before the powerful Jaws
tad time ' o done.
What about Dumpling T Oh, he slid
off behind just as the ram jumped In.
Rushing around to the dragon's shoul
der he recovered 'his sword and began
to wave It furiously as he danced and
shouted: "Go for him, iacchus! Give
it to him, Bacchus!".
And Dumpling's mother shook her
little boy and said: "What Is the mat
ter, dnrilng, are you talking in your
sleep?" Washington fetar.
A King Who Cried.
A long timo ago there was a boy
who was a king. Ha had a tutor,
which means having a schoolmaster ut
home to live with you. He had lots
of servants, who wore yellow knicker
bockers and bowed low and called hltn
"Your Majesty." Also he lived In a
palace and had more ponies than ho
could ritle, and wore Sunday clothes
on week-days. But he was not happy,
and he got very tired of having every
day and all day to be as proper as
though he were out to tea.
One day he sat on his throne very
lonely and crying and with his crown
In his lap. An old serving-man who
loved him was sorry to see him cry.
and came near and bowed and said.
"May It please Your Majesty." The
king looked and said, "Speak, sirrah,"
which was his royal way of addressing
servants. The old man did not mind,
but obeyed.
"Your Majesty," ho said, "is unhap
py. Is Your Majesty aware that there
Is an aged dame who lives in an old
cave in the King's forest and who sells
In bottles a liquid which if anyone
drinks makes him happy at once?"
"Nonsense, varlet," answered the King,
"I mind mc that once I drank six bot
tlo of stone ginger beer In seven min
utes, and I feel unhappy every time I
remember It." "Your Majesty," an
swered the servant, "this Is different."
"If you are sure," rejoined the King,
"take my crown and put It In the cup
board, and bring a bngful of pennies
and we will go and buy."
When they get to tho cave of the
aged dame sho tame out and said,
"Good-morning, little boy." "Little
boy, Indeed, old woman," said the kln,
haughtily, "I am a king." "Oh, arc
you7" answered the aged dnnie; "If you
are a king you 'must be polite and call
mo 'Mndiun or I will have nothing ;o
do' with you."
".Madam," rejoined the King, "I want
a large bottle of the elixir of happi
ness; I want to be a happy boy for
a whole (lay. How much?'' "Sir," ro
plied tho aged dame, "I do not soil, for
no one can buy happiness. Hut hero
Is a bottle. Go home and drink." Ami
she Rave him a funny black flask wlih
wicker-work all around.
When they got home to tho pa!am
the King called for the Lord Hlh Cork
Puller, and he opened the bottle with a
golden, corkscrew. They poured the
liquid inlo a crystal gohlct, and Ills
Majesty drank. Then Ills Majesty
made a face and said, "Ugh! how bit
ter! I mupt have got the wrong lioitle."
And he was more unhappy than ever.
They fetched hltn cake to eat with
It, but Hint made It no better, and ho
went Into the palace garden a very
miserable boy.
He walked about till ho came to the
great bronze galo where the soldiers
were on guard. They all saluted; but
he hardly noticed, for ho had seen a
poor boy In the road. There, sitting
on the edge of the pavement, was such
a ragged boy smiling away In the sun!
The King went to him and said, "Good
morning; I am tho King. You will
please coma Into my palace and ta;e
Home of the elixir of happiness that
I got this morning.
"Never heard of it, Mister," came t'.c
answer, "but if it's not medicine I'll
come." When they got to the palace
the King had two goblets brought, niul
the Lord High Ponrer Out filled them.
They were both going to drink, when
the ragged boy felt in an inside pocket
and pulled out a big plcco of bread
"Here, King," he said, "this Is my din
ner. Halves, Mister. You drag one
end and I will drag the other." The
King stared and said, "I tried cake
just now and it was no good." "Don't
care," was (he reply, "share's fair. Ynu
have of my bread, .or you can drink all
your stuff yourself."
The King then pulled, and they dl
vlded the bread. Together they drank,
and His Majesty was surprised, for at
once he felt as glad as ho could posnl
bly be. And then the small boy began
to sniilo more than ever and said to
the King: "Here King, bend down and
give us a back," and before he knew
what he was doing ihey were tflaylng
leapfrog In spito of the astonished
courtiers.
When they were out of breath they
sat down again and begun to talk, and
the King said, "Let some one fetch my
Tutor for me, to explain how It is
that the elixir of happiness was so bit
ter before and It is so sweet now
The Tutor, who was an old man with
a nice face and a long white beard,
came and bowed low and said, "Your
Majesty, the reason Is very simple. We
never have any happiness as long as
we keep things to ourselves, but the
moment we share the best tilings that
we have we arc as glad as can be." And

8CIENCE NOTES.
Tin tn the nresent there has been no
memorial to commemorate Andree and
his unfortunate expedition. The Geo
graphical Society of Stockholm, how
ever, has taken the matter in hand
and has commissioned LondberK, the
Swedish engraver, to make a large me
morial medal.
The proposed new calendar of Ca
milla Flammarlon, the French astron
omer, begins the year at the Vernal
Equinox (March 21), and to every

The light of the firefly is believed to
have an efficiency of virtually 100 per
cent of the energy expended, whereas
recent tests indicate that the light ef
ficiency of the ordinary incandescent
lamp is only 2.6 percent; the rest of
the energy is expended in producing
heat which Is not needed. Inventors
do not yet despair of success in imi
tating the firefly's economical method
of producing an illumination.
If the earth, says Prof. B. Ruther
ford, were supposed to have been
composed, initially, of pure radium,
the activity 20,000 years later would
not be greater than the activity ob
served in pitchblende today. But,
since there is no doubt that the earth's
age vastly exceeds 20,000 years, it is
necessary, in order to account for the
existence of radium at all In the earth,
to suppose that it is continuously pro
duced from some other substance.
An ingenious application of the pe
culiar property of selenium of varying
its electric resistance with change of
illumination has been made by Mr.
Courvoisier of Heidelberg In the elec
tric transmission of pendulum beats to
a distance for recording time and
comparing clocks. Heretofore the
beats have been electrically transmit
ted through contacts made by the pen
dulum itself. This method introduced
irregularities of consequence, where
hundredths of a second are taken, in
to account, in astronomical observa
tions'. Courvoisier causes the swing
ing pendulum, just as It touches its
lowest point to reflect a beam of light
upon a selenium cell, which transmits
the message without physical contact
with the pendulum.
STILL ANOTHER ANAESTHETIC.
Said to Possess Good Qualities of
Cocaine Minus the Bad.
It is stated that the editor of a
medical periodical published In Ger
many, C. Imgens, In conjunction with
Dr. Franz Hoffman, has succeeded! in
producing a substance which posses
ses all tho qualities of cocaine In
causing insensibility to pain, and at
the same time has none of the Injuri
ous effects of that remcdlcal agent.
This new substnnco has been called
by them "alypln." Alter numerous
experiments tho two Investigators
have been ablo to establish the fact
that alypin is a neutral reagent eas
ily soluble in water, causing Insensib
ility to pain at the place of applica
tion; a so-called local anaesthetic In
contrast to the effect produced by the
generally known anaesthetics, which,
cause entire loss of consciousness
and aro In tho real sense of the term
narcotics. These experiments have
further shown that alypln, while poe
sessing strength equnl to cocaine in
its, effect, is at tho same timo to be
preferred to the latter, because It is
less poisonous, produces no enlarge
ment of the pupils, can bo used
agreeably to and without disturbance
of the patient's condition, and that no
stricture of the vascular structure fol
lows Ifrora Its use. The importance
of this discovery is at once evident,
for the less the danger connected
with the insensibility artificially pro
duced, so much the better it is for the
patient. Philadelphia Record.
New Test for Timber.
It is claimed by lumbermen that
tlmher which has lain in water seas
ons more quickly and lasts longer
than that which is iresniy cut. rrom
a nrlnrl reasoniner it would be ntlite
natural to suppose that the water
would soak out certain or tne gum
my matters of tho wood, especially of
the sap wood, making It more easily
dried. Moreover, tho washing out of
the sap from the young wood removes
most of the sugars, proteida, etc.,
which normally furnish food for the
bacteria and other fungi which cause
the rotting of lumber. The bureau of
forestry believes that it Is worth
whfle from a practical point of view
to find out the truth about these im
pressions of lumbermen and reason
ings of scientists, and Is beginning a
series of tests at its new experiment
stations in Michigan and Wisconsin.
To make the experiments as practical
as posible they will be conducted, on
telegraph and telephone poles, articles
whose period of usefulness is a mat
ter of no small economic importance.
The poles will first be soaked in water
tor varying lengths of time, and then
piled and seasoned, careful record be
ing kept of the time required for seas
oning and the quality of tho seasoned
timber.--Collier's Weekly.
