It is a little strange that our earliest national holiday, the one at least which had its origin in the very early days of our country, should always be associated with the dinner table. Thanksgiving Day and Thanksgiving Dav dinner - are synonymous terms with a great many people. We have a good precedent for this, however, for as early as leal the re nowned Governor Bradford, after the first harvest of the colonies at Ply mouth, sent four men out fowling, that on the Thanksgiving day he had appointed they might, "after a more special manner, rejoice together.' We have continued that "special manner" of rejoicing ever since. . It' i3 probably due to the lact tnat those early Thanksgiving Day fowlers chanced to bring down a generous supply of plump wild turkeys that we have immortalized the turkey of later Jays, making it our national Thanks giving Day' bird. - . , - f invprnor Bradford also crave an od- ieot lesson at that first Thanksgiving Day festival of the hospitality wmcn is Breached to us now on all sides. i . . 1 -l-i je enieriamea. bo uisiory reiuuea, the" "greatest , King Massaoyt" and ninety Indians, end - they feasted for three days.

During the war for independ ence the Congress ordered eight days of Thanksgiving. They fell in April, May, July and December. These eight several appointments were made by the Continental Congress in the form of recommendation to the executive heads of the several State governments, reciting the occasion which prompted the observance. With only a single exception, . Congress suspended busi ness on the days appointed for Thanks giving. - Washington issued a proclamation for a general thanksgiving by the Con tinental Army, Thursday, December 18, 1777, and again at Valley Forge, May 7, 1778. A few days before the adjournment of Congress, in Septem ber, 1789, Bepresentative Elias iJon dinot moved in the House that the President be requested to recom mend a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, in acknowledgment of the many signal favors of Almighty God, and especially his affording them the opportunity, peaceably, to establish k constitution of eoverninent for their safety and happiness. Roger Sherman, of Connecticut, sup ported the motion, Cavillers were ready to oppose it. In spite, of objections the motion was .carried, and President Washington issued a proclamation, ac cordingly, on October 8, 1789, ap pointing as .Thanksgiving Day Novem ber 26, succeeding. The Book of Common Prayer, re vised in 1789 for the use of the Pro testant Episcopal Church in America, directs that the first Thursday 01 November, unless another day be ap- nointedbvthe civil authorities, "be observed ..as a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the fruits of the earth," etc. .- . .

The chapter on cotton mills has already been reviewed. That on woolen mills says that while in 1879 there were fifty establishments engaged in th manufacture of woolen fabrics they operated only 2,806 spindles, while now there are only fifteen, but they have 234 looms and 5,033 spindles. There are besides twenty-one wool card ing mills., making a total of thirty- eight They are located in thirteen western and middle counties and one eastern county. Four make blankets. The chapter on monazite says this mineral is found in considerable quan tities in JJurke, Catawba, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, McDowell. Polk anc Rutherford. Its value consists in tha lncandf soent oxides of the rare earth it contains. One of theso, thorium, is ' used in the manufacture of the Wels- baoh gas burner; another, cerium, by druggists. Monazite mining is quite new, and in several of the above-named counties became an important industry, employing several thousand persons. But suddenly the business ceased with startling abrupt ness, this being due to the importation of monazite-bearing sand from Brazil as ship's ballast, at prices so low that competition was impossible, and hence. there was immediate paralysis of the new industry. In 1831 the price was as high as 25 cents a pound, while for in ferior grades it was as low as 8 cents. But owing to the decline it ranged from 6 to 10 cents in 1834-'3. Con gross, at its last session, through the eflorts of Sen ator rtitchard, imposed a duty of cents a pound and it is expected that as soon as the large stock of Brazilian sand now in this country is exhausted there will be a decided advance in pit cea and a revival of work in the' North Carolina mines. In this State pro duced 546,685 pounds, which sold for 36,193. " Kaolin is another product of import ance. It is said to have been mined, soon after the settlement of this State, washing and drying is shipped to the coast and shipped to Europe for use in the manufacture of porcelain and china. It is now mined on a considerable scale in Jackson county, and after washing and drying is shipped to the' potteries at Trenton, N. J., and other points. Near Webster, in Jackson county, there i one vein which is nearly 200 feet in thickness and which has been traced almost a mile. The kaolin in this vein is mined from a depth of from CO to 129 feet. There is a passing allusion to brick and tile clays. At G rover, Cleveland county, vitrified brick are being made of clay taken from near-by beds. . "A ven-interesting chapter is that on the lumber industry of eastern North Carolina. The commissioner says that while in 1830 the products of all the lumber mills in the State amounted to only 241,822,000 feet, and the value of all its wood products to only 82,672,790, in the eastern counties alone in 1393 the increase was so trreat that in 43 of them there were 822 mills, with an output of 452, 880, 000 feet, and a capacity of no less than 614.000.000 feet annually. These mills sawed 15.918.000 shingles, 42 of the 322 being exclusively for shingles, The value of the output was $4,508,000. The timber chiefly need for lumber was loblolly pine and long-leaf pine and cy press and juniper (white oedar for shin glee). Borne ash and yellow poplar were cut The savannah and short-leaf pine are included under the name loblolly. Since 1893 the increase has been large and steady, and the lumber industry now ranks as one ot the greatest in the eastern counties. In order to show the number of men employed, and the out put of mills of different sizes, together with the principal kinds 01 timber sawed, the labor bureau has selected 25 mills. located in 15 counties, with capacity Tanging from 8,000 to 60,000 feet daily, The 2i show an annual output of 110, 073,000 feet, of which 74,310,000 were of nine, and employ l.42 men. Facts and figures as to the lumber in dustry in the western part of the Stat are much more difficult to obtain. It is not nearly so large as in the east, but is yet quite important In round numbers this industry in the section east of Rat eigh is said to represent something like 910,000,000 annually. .

Lonely cats, deserted by their own- ers or lureo irom tneir nomes py heartless boys, have lost a good friend in Miss Annie Msyhew, who died a short time ago in England. This wo man was the founder of a cats' home, and her whole time and energies were devoted to caring for deserted and stray pussies, on whose behalf she was constantly appealing to the kindly- hearted.

A girl from town is staying with some country cousins who live at a farm. On the night of her arrival she finds, to her mortification, that she is ignorant of all sorts of things connect ed with farm life which to her country cousins are matters of everyday know ledge. She fancies they seem amused at her ignorance. At breakfast the following morning she eees on the table a dish of fine honey, whereupon she thinks she has found an opportunity of retrieving her humiliating experience of the night before, and of showing her country cousins that she knows something of country life after all. So, looking at the dish of honey, she says, care- llessly: "Ah, 1 see, you keep a Dee." Pearson's Weekly. Pat and tha BUckborrle.

The redbtrd. when It hag gotten down hard to home-maklnr. develops a remarkable tendency to firht. At all other time of th6 year he Is aa docile and csatle aa any la the.wooda indeed, rather lnclned to take a deal from other birds but as soon aa tha Best Is completed and Mrs. Red bird la Installed queen thereof he gets on his war paint and will fight anything that comes along. It Is by taking advan- -tage of the bravery of the redbtrd In defending the home that the hunter la. enabled to snare It. The trap used ia a wire cage. Within this cage Is a' tame bird, one which has been In cap uniy a year or two and sings freely. The hunter wanders Into the woods and slowly make his way through th swamps until he reaches a dense por tion, when he halts, aaya a writer In the Philadelphia Telegraph. ' Pretty soon the bird In the care delighted, doubtless, at being again la Its native woods, even if bars stand between It and liberty begins singing with all its-might. If there is a red bird within sound of the caller's voice It hastens to investigate. One ot tha peculiar habits ot the redblrd, hunters say, la that there seems by common . consent to be a division ot the woods among them each bird having ap propriated to his ecpeclal jurisdiction certain allotment cf woods. Some times other birdseither by mistake or for the purpose of acquiring mora ter? ritory. Invade the domain ot another. whereupon there Is a fierce fight, which Is called off only when ona or the other ot the birds conquers. In which cas the victor becomes the possessor of tha territory of the two. together with tha defeated bird's mate, who', it seems, la - so longer willing to share fortunes, with her former lord after be baa proved himself a poor fighter. The hunter baa on one side of his cage a light net, bound about by a light frame, and to tha center ot a light Iron rod stretched perpendicu larly across this tram Is attached. In winging position, a .crt, .rounded tick about six inches in length. This gate ot setting' la opened and keptTh that position by the wooden trigger attached to the sides of the cage where in Is the call bird. This connection of the two trigger is very delicate. and the slightest touch will suSee to throw It, whereupon the nettisg-frama , door Ia quickly closel by a spring against the sides of the cage. This Is what holds the redblrd captive. As soon as the hunter has set the trigger of the cage he hangs it to a limb somewhere or places It on tha ground and goes away some distance to await results. The Imprisoned red bird soon begins to sing, and presently. If there Is a redblrd anywhere within hearing distance, there Is a Cutter of wings, a series of sharp cries, and be fore the hunter can say "scat" the wild redblrd files headlong at his supposed enemy In the cage, throws the trigger and is captured. It takes very little longer to capture a redblrd than It does to catch a fish, If once the caged bird la placed In the right spot within the territory of the other redblrd, and he hears It singing, the ret is very easy. for. regardless of all personal safety and everything else, he rushes madly to the fight. andTonic Pellets rraiao and Tho follow more will be spent likewise.
