i KELIGIOUS READING. Thanksglvlngr njmn. Once more the rollin? year brings round The day when festal joys abound; Our lan-l, from East to Western sea, SSoiKis up united praise to Thee. Whv sIkmiM we thank Thee. Lord of all? What are Thy gift that daily fall And yearly crown us with their store, That we have oft received before? Tlise are Thy gifts! We thank Thee, Lord For harvests yielding rich reward; For orchard's fruitage, full and free, And plenty's reign from sea to sea. We thank Thee, Lord, that eaec is ours; That o'er our land no war-cloud lowers; That we have rulers strong in right Who rule our nation in Thy sight. We thank Thee, Lord, for evil crushed, That wives and mothf-rs ljowed in dust, May had the dawn of that glad hour. That breaks in twain the rum-fiend's power. We thank Thee, Ird, for friendship spared' For dear Jove given, taken, shared; For infant treasure. lent us here, For sweet home-lires, to blesj and cheer. Help us to siy, "We thank Tuee, Lord," When dear graves dot the mos;y sward; When hojs lie buried 'ne ith the so l, Miid we are crushed by Thy stern rod. Ib'lp us to praise in hours of pain, With )uiveriiig heart and t a robbing- bra'n; Whn weak, pale hinds close folded lie, While nil the world goes hurrying by. Ho we would thank Thee, Lor.l of all, For every gift Thy hand lets fall, For joy, tor sorrow, pleasure, pain, Let all Thy ieople say, "Amen!" Getting Keaily for It. We have more than once called attention to the d-uigcr that "the We.'k of Prayer," which our churches are accustomed to ob nTvr at the opening of the new year, may de p in. al.c into a sort of jYotest.mi Lent a hollow and heartless bit of religious formal ism, followed, so far as it is followed, at all, by the siiiiiila'Tiuu of a revival, an unsub stantial and illusory "work of grace." We have done this through no disposition to throw discredit on the Week of I'raj-er, or to interfere in the least with its observ ance. Ite.ilizing. however, the tendency of alt stat-d religious exercises t drift into loi mnliMii, and believing tint we detected a f.pechl teiidancy in this direction, so far as the Week of 1'rayer is concerned, we have rai-ed a note of warning in ordr, jiossibly, to avert the danger that we feared. We bring to our readers now an absolute pceiie for that danger, which we gathered lroin the prayer-meeting talk of a good brother two or three weeks ago. '"I supjjose we are to have a Week of Prayer pretty soon," he said, "and I am getting ready for it." Ah! we though i, there is the remedy .-.i:ist any jiossihle degeneration of the Week of Prayer into a bit of 11011 ritual ritu alism. If a week of public prayer can lie superinduced ujkju two or three months ol private preparation for it by the individua 1 members of our churches,. what a blessing it will b? to our churches. Following'the hi istnias holidays, very much as the Uoinan Catholic J jnt follows the ( 'arnival, the sea son especially set apart for devo tion too frequently finds our churches more than ordinarily unprepared for special religious effort. Half of the Week of Prayer is practically wasted iu do ing work which might a goo 1 deal better be done in the closet and about the family altar. As the jerio l set apart for sccial prayer draws to a close,how often is the remark heard "Why, we are just getting ready to enjoy it and le Item-fitted by it." Might we not, and should wo not, bring to the Week of Prayei a greater degree of readiness to receive a blessing from it; Is there not a practical sug gestion that is worth thinking about in our brother's remark: "1 supjtoi-e we are to have a Week of Prayer pretty soon; and I am getting rendy for it".' lKxiuiner and Chronicle. The Garment of Praise. Thursday, Nov. 24, is tho diy appointed by the civil authority for a public remembrance of the great goodness of the Lord to us as in dividuals ami as a nation. Thanksgiving usil to be appointed only by each .State; but now it is designate I by "national authority, and will be uniformly observed throughout the whole realm.

Look at our great prosperity; did ever a people before grow so rapidly and grerstl v in all the advantages and blessings ol 1'rovidenec' Then, tirst and chief est of all, there is (J'-;d's unspeakable gift, his dear Son. When the prophet foresaw what Ood would do for his people-at tlte incarnation of his Son, he said: "I will apioint unt them that mourn in Zion beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness." Now that Christ ha? come, has borne our sins in his ow n body on the tree, has wrought out an everlasting righteousness for us, what is it but unbelief that inevents our putting on Hi s garment of raise? Why should not the oil of joy in princely fullness run down the be.rd, even tc the skirts of our garments' If we mot e in the ashes of a selfish sorrow or morbid intro spection, what but unbelief and distnn, fathers it t A gre it many Christians are sickly and pining for want of this garment of praise. Like spiritual hyiwchondriacs they are jer petnaily feeling the pulse, and shaking the head, and lugubriously declaring in coven ant meetings that it is all over with them; they have no peace of mind; and thev do not know whether thev are Christians or not. Poverty-stricken soul! think wlnt Christ has done, and get up and praise (iod. Clothe yourself with the garment of pr.iise. Uet up out of the. ashes, ami put the christening oil Upon your head. fstop feeling your pulse, and counting its beats. .You will always lie a spiritual hypochondriac while you do this. Look at the Cross. hie notable and noble characteristic of the Psalms is that fiie writers are generally wrapied in this garment of praise. The swelling joyousness is not so manifest in the liist Psalms; but they are cumulative in tins; and the further you go through the book, the more the holy enthusiasm kin lies and glows; until at last after calling on hi.' soul to bless the lird, and all that is within him to magnify his holy name, after calling on everybody to help hnn praise (So 1, and all the nations to N) glad to sing for jov, the sacred Book of Praise ends in one gushing call upon everything to praise the Lord. TruuiMK psalteries, harps, timlrels, dances," stringed instruments, organs. svmhals, everv thing that hath breath, or into which joyful Cod lovers can put breath, must join to praise the Lord. We want more "praise meetings" in our churches, more "services of song," in which in happy vesjK-T-hours we can come together with glad voices and instruments of music, and sing ourselves into the sweetness of the Jove and praise ot Ho.1. lt our churches try the. "praiso meetings,' and come into jov ful sympathy with the blessed saints of old who wrote: "O come let us sing unto the Lord; let us mak a iovfnl nm.-n unto the rock of our salvation. ' "RIpss the I.nl, O my soul; and all that is within me. bless hit holy name." "() give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endmcfh for ever." "Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing; for the Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting." "It, is a goo:l thing to give thanks unto the liOrd and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High.

Judel, of the American Ag riculturist, who makes annual tours through the far western states aud ter ritories, narrates the following: Oue August afternoou wo made tho ascent of Helen's Mountain, in the range forming the boundary of North Park, Colorado, to catch a view of tho superb sweep Lcyond. It was a long and wearisome climb, but the magnifi cent views stretching far away in every direction richly repaid us. Far below lay the beautiful Kites Park, and ex tending far ns the eye could reath ap peared peak after peak, miiiy of them covered with snow here in July. Nestled leneath us several hundred feet was a miniature lake covered with ice, which did not yield to the stones hurled upon its surface. After feasting our vision for some hours we began the descent, which was very diflicult, inasmuch as falling rain froze as it fell. I took my cartridges from my Winchester, fearing lest I might slip and discharge them. "When half way down the mountain we reached a small plateau in the centre of which was a clump of cottonwood trees. Ralph was perhaps three rods ahead, and Foly fifteen paces. I turner! from the path to this clump of trees for a menvsnt, think ing peihaps I might start a ciunamon bear. Judge of my dismay when a Hocky Mountain lion suddenly sprang from "the thicket, rested upon a broken tree not twenty feet away, and savagely glaring upon we prepared to spring upon tiie intruder who entered his lair. It was a most exciting moment. I quickly brought my rifle to the shoulder, and r.iming between his eyes, drew the trigger to no effect. Again and again I attempted to discharge the rifle, forgetting in the suspense that the cartridges ha 1 been withdrawn. It was indeed a trying crdeal. If I stopped to remove w hat was an imperfect car tridge and substitute another one, or if I tur.icd and fled, tin glaring creature, who looked to me as big as a buffalo, would pounce upon me and tear me to pieces in a jiffy ! I did neither, but for tunately had sufficient presence of mind remaining to whistle ii a low tone to Foley just ahead. Ho turned and taking in the situation at a glance, quick as a lightning Hash sent a bullet through tho animal's heart. "You look a little pale, Mr.Judd," he exclaimed in a half humor ous manner, as he quietly came back to me. "1 do not think you could blame anybody for being rather pale under the circumstances !'' 1 responded. It was very fortunate for me that I had no bul let in my rifle; being in such close prox imity I should undoubtedly have shot high above the point aimed at, and barely grazed his skull, when the then wounded and consequently infuriated animal would have jumpc.l and linished me in short order. On inspecting the surroundings wc found the remains of an antelope close by, upon which the now dead "enemy" had gorged himself. 1 am told that when near evening one of these mountain lions delivers its peculiar roar, the antelope for a long distance around are fairly terrorized and llee for miles. Keducing their Weight. Getting rid of .ie surplus flesh that keeps him from riling is not the plcas antest task for a jockey, especially if he has been in the saddle several years, like Fitzpatrick, who is the heavy-weight among the riders in the Et'st. It is not only diflicult, but extremely dangerous, ami it is the more sj when it is dona over night to get down to tho minimum weight for a next day mount. Two or three years ago M; L.ughlin reduced his flesh nine pounds in one day in order to ride in a great mutch race. That was when he was young, though, and wil ling to make any sacriiice to whi such an event. He could rot stand such physical exhaustion today. J'obby Swim, who was tin greatest j ickey on the American turt ten or a do.jn years ago, reduced his weight eleven pounds in one night when he was riding on the Mobile, Ala., course. Swim was ri ling for Price Mc(rath, who was known a3 the Irish Prince from the fact that In always appeared at the Lexington track on opening day in a suit of green broadcloth. Swim 1 icamo dissipated, and when the great r ice be tween Major Themis' Hiinyar and Cam vni: F. was run, Swim was refused the mount on Himyar. Ho thereupon went to the owners of C.iiumie F. and offered to ride that horse for nothing if he lost and $VJ0 if he wou. This was the day before the race, and the jockey would have to reduce his weight eleven pounds to ride Cammie F., but nothing daunt ed the "jock" set about the work, his offer being gladly accepted. That night Swim was rolled iu three heavy blankets, after having taken previously a Turkish bath. Then he was laid out for tho greater part of the night before a blaz ing wood lire, and sweated till tho blankets hr.d to be changed. In the morning he was given another Turkish bath. When he entered the paddock ho was so weak ho li id to bo supported to the saddle. IL won on Cammie F., finishing a length before Himyar, who had been a heavy favorite. That was Swim's last great race, for ho went to the dogs shortly after through drink. Where They Are Always a Day Behind. Although the Thilippine Islands lie near to the Asiatic coast it was by Span iards who sailed eastward from America that they were settled. Did they revise their calendar when they crossed the magic line, and strike out a day to keep themselves abreast of the tiaies? No such thing; the Spanish dons of that day were a proud and fiery folk, and if their calendar did not agree with the times, then sr much the worse for the times. Anyhow, the fact remains that, when they arrived at the Jlinil'a or Philiptne Ishruls. tiny still reckoned by the calen dar which had brea taken from Spain to America, and from America by them on their voyage. They were, of course, a day inarrear; but as there were not then any important settlements of civilized nations thereabout with whom th3 date could be compared the error was not no ticed; the reckoning took firm hold, and in consequence the inhabitants of Manilla keep plodding along one day behind all their immediate , neighbors. (JhamlxrJa Journal. Sad Fate of a Jake. An American joke sometimes loses it self through translation into another language. A native humorist wrote: Notwithstanding that a lady should always be quiet and self-contained she. cannot even enter a place of worship without a tremendous bustle." A French writer reproduces it in this form: "According to an American author, tho 'adics of that country arc so greedy tf notoriety that they cannot enter the holy sanctuary without disturbing the kneeling worshippers with their vulgar ind Uiisecmly ao."ii,j7tcnyton lie mtU'tfiiiu- "i m rls of the Scfsntnn JJiivew, I'eiuivl vania, have decide I to tovcott all tb vouii men who touch intoxicants. " LADIES' COLUMN. " Woman " the Correct Title." It has often struck me as a most re markable thing that the fair sex has such a marked aversion to the honorable title of "woman." In speaking of a female it is considered in many instances a downright insult to use the word "woman." On the other hand, a man has no objections to being called a "man," nor does he consider it an insult or reproach. The newspapers teem wih advertisements for "salesladies," and even "washladies" are not infrequently inquired " for. The use of the word "lady" is absurd, not to say disgusting. If a woman gets into a car the conductor invariably says: Where tlo you wish to get off lady?" instead of madam or ma'am. This is equally true of store clerks, policemen, waiters and others, and I should think must be very disagreeable to sensible women, aside from its being so intensely snobbish. I cannot Eee that "woman" is in any sense more objectiona ble than "man," and hope to see it em ployed more frequently. Chicago Journal. A Savings Bank Tor Girls. There is a kind of savings bank for girls in Germany which might well be imitated in other countries Wc mean the so-called "Sparkassen," closely akin, in the United States, for instance, to what is known as the endowment plan in American life insurance companies. On the birth of a girl parents in moder ate circumstances can insure her in one of these savings banks for a sum that will give the child, on the completion of her eighteenth year, a small capital to start in life with, i. e., to follow a pro fession or finish her studies, or, as the case may be, to serve as a dower in the event of her marriage. Of course th? parents pay a fixed annual premium to the company which invests the stipulated sum in securities, real estate, &.c, and sees to it that the investments cither yield a fair interest, which is com pounded, or that thcrcjl estate increases in value, so that by the time the eirl arrives at years of discretion she may find herself mistress of a snug little fund to enable her to get on without calling for assistance upon her' parents, to whom the comparatively light annual premium has acarcely proved a burden. One of the best of these model institutions, well managed, thoroughly safe, and tinder excellent surveilencc, is the well-known Wilhelm Cassc, named thus after its I imperial p.itron. the Emperor William. American jieffisier. Married Belles. Society is not all joy to a debutant nowadays; the married belles carry off the honors, says the Philadelphia Prtts. That is why so many of the young girls of Philadelphia and New York go abroad and stay till they arc old enough to win some attention here. There isn't one of them who stands the ghost of a chance against the perfectly dressed, well poised brides of two or three winters. An 18-ycar-old is nowhere when they are about. There might as well be no balls or assemblies for that matter, so far as the younger fry are concerned, and as for the private entertainments it's much the same thing there. The "buds" take what partners arc left when the young married women have had their choice. Tiirls arc not the fashion any more. The married belles dance just as well, dress more richly and talk better; it doesn't compromise the well-dressed young man from the bachelor apartment, which he is in no haste to desert for benedicts . quarters' to dance attendance upon them, J and, take it all in all, now is the married belles re gn. The popular unmarried women who can ho!d their own in the ballrooms are of more than one season's standing. The debutantes are eagerly heralded, the society world is anxious to sec them, families clamor for the privilege of chapcroningthem; but, after all, they are likely to enjoy their second and third seasons l etter and to get more desirable partners than in their first. Fashion Notes. Yokes and sleeves of lace are stylish for the silk or moire bodice. White satin and white kid boots will be worn this winter for weddings. Head embroidery, as well as that m silk, is seen on the fashionable mill inery. Brooches are .again worn in preference to the scarf pins so much liked with collars. No very high trimmiug is considered in good form this season, cither in hats or bonnets. Pinking is still one of the most stylish finishes for any sort of a costume for street wear. Eveiy sort of sleeve but the plain c oat sleeve is allowable this season. This is entirely passe. fliit braid on white is pretty for a short waist coat to be worn with a dark cloth costume. Once a year even the most frugal house wife should replenish her linen closet, idding at least the furnishing of one bed and a dozen towels. There is still a fancy for the bunch of ostrich tips instead of the corsage bouquet, aud two or more shades are seen iu this feather trimming. The silver girdles which have grown o rapidly in favor the last teison, it is predicted, are to be superseded by ropes ;f beads, links of passementerie and fur rolls. The rage for the antique in jewel rv is on tin i.icrease, and every odd and eccentric bit of bejcwe'.ed adornment is lo be very unique and old foshionc 1 to be in good taste. Harem Life in Turkey. The principal diversions of harem life consist in thy visits of 1 needs and of a pernicious class of trading women, who hawk about articles of dress and gew gaws from one house to another retail ing the latest gossip and icandal with thvir wares, and agisting the ladies to get into ail in inner of scrapes. Wise women who tell fo: tunes by cards and incantations are also in great demand, and their vaticinations are as a rule be lieved in by the ladies with much the saxe delightful and blind conn lence as 13 given by farmers' d;u;hters to tin mysterious prophecijs of the gypsies. Now an I them condtg.i punishment awaits the?c hags, as in the casj of tin notorious Ayesha. who, several years ago, was called for one night, hustled into a carriage under pretense of visiting a great Inrem.and has never since been heard of. Hut as a rule, their sorceries, evil cyesand charms arc perfectly harm less, and when there is nothing better to do they arc called in to beguile the heavy hcurs. Nor muA the men singers be left out in the catalogue of delights of the harem a delight, nevertheless, which is but sparingly indulged in, and can only be enjoyed to the full when tho harem's lord is away. LonJoi jiturdxty Jteteiev, A Japanese Street. To stroll down the principal street ol Tokio, of an evening, is a species of liberal education. Long lines of gayly lighted shops, crammed Tvith wares t j captivate alike the novice and the con noisseur, look out upon an equally end less succession of torchlit booths, that display a happy medley of old curios and new conceits. Hero the very latest thing in inventions, a gutta-percha rat, that for some reason best known to the vendor scampers about squeaking with a mimicry to shame the original, holds an admiring crowd spellbound with min gled trepidation and delight. There a native zoctrope, ingenious round of pleasure, whose top, fashioned after the type of a turbine wheel, ena bles a candle in the centre to supply both illumination anefmotivo power at the same time, affords to as many as can find room oa its circumference a peep at the composite antics of a consecu tively pictured monkey in tin net of jumping a box. Then again it is some flower stand, in the growth of whose shrubs art has dared even to interfere with nature, and begotten forms which the parent plant would fail to recog nize, while opposite this show is a booth that, among its other curiosities, has for sale little microscopes with legs. Thus from one attraction to another you wander on for miles, carried along with the tide of pleasure seekers in a sort of realized dream. Atlantic Monthly. K Climatic Peculiarity. A correspondent of an Eastern paper poiuts ou the fact that at Lucerne, in tin southern part of this state, a high range of thermometer ho puts it at 110 -can be endured even by the workers in the fie'd without a great deal of inconvenience. lie attributes the fact to the movement of the coast winds and the cool nights which tend so much to recuperation. This condition of the atmosphere is not peculiar to Lucerne and Southern California. It is con.mon also to Central and a part of Upper California. It is a well established fact that in this state ninety ele, recs of heat docs not cause a great eteal M personal discomfort. It can be endured much more easily than scrcnty si degrees at the East. The higher range with us is not attended with wilted collars, nor crushed wristbands, except in the case of violent exertion. The reason is not exclusively the prevalence of coast wind3, but the dryness of the atmosphere. The heat r.bsorbed by the system at oDce radiates ia all directions. At the East, in consequence of the greater moisture of tho atmosphere, the heat is retained. Californiaus h ive been known to flee precipitately from New York with a thermome'rical range of from seventy six to eighty degrees, though ten degrees n.ore would not render then: uncomfortable m the southern country, or the Sacra .nento or San Joaquin val l ys. The radiation rutward of the heat is also supposed to account for the absence of sunstroke, and of rabies among dogs. ,Srm Francisco Enquiirer. Tho Cardinal's Hat. TheptruHar rccl hit worn by the car dinals for a few moments when they re ceive their titles, the same as the one that can be seen suspended over the altar in St. Patrick's Cathedral, has arrived from Home for Cardinal Gibbons. The shape of this hat is somewhat like a Lig Mexi can sombrero, and it has a bunch of thirteen tassels ranged in graduated lines attached to the side. When tho cardinal gets his ring and title one of these hats is put on his head for a few minutes by the pope, and then it is taken off and never used again. Wrhcn the ordinal dies it is put at the foot of his bier, and when he is buried it is susp3cdtd over the altar of his church until his successor is ap pointed just as the one that can now be f ecn at the cathedrals. When Cardinal. Gibbons got his title Irst year in Rome the same hat was nscd for himself and the other cardinals created at the same time. The red hat that has just arrived here is for his personal use. Another hat was sent to Cardinal Taschercau, for mer Archbishop of Quebec New York llatter and Fu trier. A Rare Harbor. One of the great features of Benicia harbor, California, is the fact Ihit its waters c!e.in a ship's bottom. Deep water vessels rind that it is much cheaper to be towed to Benicia and laid up in fresh water than go to the expense of Icing placed on the dry docks to be cleaned. A short anchorage in Benicia cleans a ship's bottom as erfectly as before being launched, and when ready for n n is sure of a thirty-day quicker passage on a long trip. This fact is becoming well known to sh'p masters and ship owners, and large numbers of vessels are now anchored in the stream while waiting for charlcrs or repairs. No Cans For Alarm.
