In this calmer pleasure is found the true meaning of the day the genuine fabric while upon It Is embroidered the gay fantastic with which youth must have its merry making. , Cotqae DlBoer Tleaa The Thanksgiving dinner given by a charming New England hostess now a resident of New York, had some unique features. The wife of a suc cessful wholesale merchant, their home In one of the large uptown apartment houses, was a delightful setting for this holiday dinner. The occasion had a literary flavor, the menu as follows: Biblical quotations, soup, proverbs, Ash, familiar couplets, roast, anec dotes, salad, music, pastry, landscape cheese with coffee, and then personal I reminiscences. The "lar.dscnne observances" ran. rlsted In an adjournment to the ele vator, and thence to the roof where for five minutes the company well wrapped in body and wholly rapt In soul enjoyed a fine view of the city, with the Hudson and the palisades to the west. In all the glory of the after noon sunshine; while In the streets below were the gay frolics of the "Ragamuffins" In fantastic prank. The request for Biblical quotations at that dinner party stumped the ma jority of those present, recalling the story of one. Prof. Gates, who as host on a similar occasion asked for Bible verses and -was rewarded br a brave effort on the part of a guest who made three attempts: "Be ye lifted up. O ye Oates," was one; "Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine . enemies," was another hardly appropriate: , and a third, hopefully and. farveotly-repeated, was declared a. base Insinuation against tbe'honi- tality of the bouse "The Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want." This story, told amid laughter, th- host of this 'Thonkgiving party was called on" for his verse and he respond ed with one to which he gave a culi nary and marital flavor not found In the original "Whom she loveth she roasteth." Brolxnllt mt rtTmber The frigidities of the North have got to prove them?elves this winter. No vember is fast nearing its close, yet here Indian Summer lingers. Birds look as blithe as in springtime. If not so numerous. The Hudson now and then puts on Its feg-hood, but more often looks, forth fair and serene and busy, giving no hint of the lee-locked reserve which later on come- to Its up-state waters. Day after day of soft sunlight touched with breeze has marked the north. And the park con servatories seem to have caught a gen erous share of tha sun, concentrating its gold In those great beautiful chrv- i snnthemums which Just now make miles of beauty. Waa It Hood who wrote that poetic travesty on November? Whoever t was. made It. you remember, a month of negatives extending through a num ber of verses, and ending with the line "No flowers, no birds, no sun. No vember." Hood was writing of tbe.English No vember, not cf ours which Is so posi tive a delight. For with us these are the golden days of all the year, when summer's backward glance shines o'er t!-? earth, snd autumn's touch makes wind-harps of the trees. kplrlac Trvples (New York Ameican.) John. Samuel and Edward FiJlin and Will Kay, who. durfng the past sum mer, have been constructing a boat with which to navigate the rivers of Nicaragua. Central America, have completed their task and have left Mil waukee for New Orleans, where they will take passage for. Grey town. The boat was taken apart a week ago and shipped in settlors. With the engine and boiler .the young men have four tons of freight in addition to their personal baggage. Upon their aniTal at.Greytown they will put the boat together again at the mouth of the San Juan ltlver. which drains Lake Nicaragua, and will then leave rtriUsation behind them and ex plore the rivers of the country in search of various museum specimens. John FiCIIn. who Is an ornithologist and taxidermist at the Milwaukee Pub lic Museum, believes that they will bo able to secure enough skins of birds and mammals to -defray the expenses cf the expedition. Two other members of the party are engineers and machin ists, and with them mill rest the responsibility- of. overcoming, the diffi culties of progress which will lie in their path. They have planned to ar rive at Greytown at about the close of the rainy season, and expect to have their boat put together by. December L when they , will be ready to ascend the river. . - . The craft which the young men have constricted Is no toy. It is thirty-Teet long, and has a beam of' eight lee t The boiler, which weighs 1,195 pounds and which carries a pressure of 180 pounds, ' furnishes steam for a twelve horae power engine. The boat is a stern wheeler, and tne engine Is so con nected to the paddles that It can-be disconnected and ' made to work h winch forward. Their idea in thus ar ranging it is for the purpose of haul ing the boat, which draws seven Inches of water, over the shallow places. ' A rope will be fastened to a tree or any other solid thing which presents Itself and then, when the other end Is fas tened to the winch, the beat will pull Itself along until it reaches deeper wa ter. . ' John Fidlin was down In the same region two years ago and thus has 4 knowledge of the conditions which ex ist there. This knowledge serves him In good stead and it was on his sug gestion that the young men decided to use the boat as a house Instead of try ing to live on land, as the last expe dition did. The pests are extremely annoying, and at times become unbear able, and the members "of the party be-i lleve that they can avoid them by liv ing In a cabin on the boat which has been constructed of wire netting. The young men do not know when they will return "to Milwaukee. They expect to be gone at least six months, and it Is not at all unlikely that they will stay'much longer. ys lie 1 Trmr-d " I mffered such pain from corns I could hardly walk." writes H. Robin son.

Is it possible -to find another who has all In all fought and won so neatly and yet. so gloriously as many great bat tles? It will be a long time before his arduous and successful labors will be forgotten. He is a clean man in pri vate life. No stain mars his record. Few careers are more Invulnerable. He is well equipped for Senatorial service. His state is now well known to him and he can therefore the better gurd its Interests and labor successfully for Its welfare. lie Is a strong man. The complex questions of state are grasped fully by his active mind. . There is a practicability in his handling of mtn and measures that carries gteat power with It. He Is all the more useful as a legislator therefor. Few men in the history of the state moreover haver grown great in every way as he has since his appearance in public life. Mr. R. L.

The Kid learned things and grew cagey, his ramrod left putting many a flock of swings to flight. Suddenly he unleased a wallop that gave Muggsy's observations an astro nonttcal tinge, and also donated a cau-Il-fjower ear to the Llmberick lad's tout ensemble by drooping "the good one over.

Whatever their inward trepidation, the women whose conviction carried them out to vote put on a brave front and assumed an air of nonchalance which was quite impressive. Although a. slight pucker of the brow denoted .A-? A fx nervous strain, they for . the most "part grasped their ballots with intelligence .nd retired behind, the little calico" Cur tain to mark them with something re sembling familiarity. " Two women in the third, precinct . of the Seventh Ward acquitted themselves exception ally well until the time came for de positing the ballot, when the woman ahead, who was about to -drop her's into a box, was plucked by the sleeve by the woman with her, who whispered. "You'd better wait a minute and ask. That may not be the right box." When asked if she minded coming to the booth- to vote ,the latter woman protested that she didn't mind doing anything which she thought was right, and she thought voting for women was. Out of sixty-two women registered in this precinct, only twelve voted. One had conje, accompanied by her hus band, and had studiously imitated him in procedure. The other eleven, one of the clerks in ihe booth said, he didn't believe had any husbands. At least he thought they didn't look as if they had. This same man said that. Judg ing from the questions asked he should imagine taht it was mostly split vot ing with the women. . One woman wanted to. take the ballot home to talk over the merits of the respective can didates with, her husband. Some of the old .ladles at the Protes tant Home for the Aged decided sud denly in the morning-that they ought to vote, and, nothing daunted by the fact that they had neglected to regis ter, set out Jn a body for the nearest polling booth, where they were duly sworn In. " The most novel. method of embracing their first chance at suffrage was that adopted by Miss A. L. Kimball and Miss Patience Taylor, of the Sixteenth Ward, who raced down Grand avenue at 6 a. m., each trying to beat the other to the polls. Miss Kimball won out and cast the first vote in the city was largely ; that of school teachers. Mil waukee Free Press. A parrorljpS "pot (Kansas City Journal.) It may seem impossible to most readers that there .can he a single place in the United Kingdom where the sparrow is never seen, and yet on the authority of Professor Newton, F. R. S., there Is such a spot the moor land village;, of Shepstor, In Devon. Why the ubiquitous bird should shun this place ls not. explained, but. it Is an indisputable fact that it does. It ir. all the more remarkable because the sparrow, like trade( "follows the flag." Wherever 'the British go there the sparrow, is found. t It has a tendency t9 gradually" drive out all the native birds of the- country in which it chooses to settle. ; Its pugnacity is Avell known, and it multiplies rapidly, the progeny of a single pair in ten years amounting to.no fewer than 275,000, 000 birds. . . . -' .

' You might call :this a poem in prose, and you would not miss it more than a mile. I might also call it by the same name,' but I know better. -To-be more definite, it is the refrain of a song that was quite popular longer ago than moat readers of Tattle remember. It is. a gem of purest ray serene, as you will see if you read it two or three times; and if you wiir call some even ing and bring your piano, I will sing it for you. Perhaps the memqry of the song would have ' entirely faded from the page devoted to youthfuf frivolity. but for a somewhat annoying and oft repeated occurrence that has thrown a shadow over my otherwise radiant ex istence. And that brings me to the question v. "''. ' Do you know what - it -is to have a double? , Ah! there you have the key to my tale of woe. It was during, the merry Christmas time of a year ago that business, or chance perhaps, guided my steps to the Union depot, where I , mingled among the Jostling throng. By and by I be came conscious that a citizen of color very dark color, by the way was eye ing mJntently. After a while he ap proached me and grinned a beatific African smile, and said "Good even ing." The salutation was returned in the same words, and then we drifted apart. A little later it occurred to me that I might have failed to recognize an old acquaintance; so the next time we came face to face I paused and in quired, "Whom did you take me for when you spoke?" "Mr. So-and-so, of Apex," he replied. Time passed on, and one day a busi ness man witn wnom- -1 nave ex changed greetings in the street -day in and day out for years and years, met me with the salutation, "Good morning, Mr. So-and-so." My sense of polite ness forced a courteous reply. Again, ; a merchant, to whose . store I have been an occasional I visitor for a long time, met me coming out of the. post-i office not more than a week ago, and greeiea me wixn yyna is- me news from Apex?" - . Did I collapse on the spot? No, my mental equipoise sustained me again. But: this 'is Decommg a serious rnaner. It-hes never been my, good fortune or my misfortune to meet miy ". double from Apex. : What - might happen should we be brought together had better not be told. The language of the song," of course, only expresses my feelings figuratively; but if my inmost thoughts were to take the form of words, Mr. So-and-so of Apex might consider it prudent to have me bound over to keep the peace. If . there were any reason to believe that Federal office holders in Raleigh would speak their minds freely in re gard to the turn Booker Washington has given to political affairs in thi3 part of the moral vineyard I would undertake to get an expression of opin ion from each one and write a sym posium on the result. Wouldn't it make interesting reading, though? . . Angels and ministers of grace, etc! Grover Cleveland is to preside at a Booker Washington meeting in Phila delphia and make a speech.

For instance, there lies before me a specimen of Wake County amethyst which was presented by my friend Dr. Wombello. It is not neces sary to descant upon its beauty, but any one who does not know that preci ous stones are found in Wake may drop into my den and see the proof. My good friend, the Doctor, .when I met him in the street the other day. had two pieces of amethyst in his pocket, and he gave me one, with the suggestion that, used as a paper, weight, it would be found useful as well as ornamental. If he had known that I was going to write this nice mention of his kindnesshe would have given me the larger piece .and kept tho little one for himself. , . . The public will be pleased to- learn that the office of Mayor will not go begging next spring. According to present Indications, something more or less than a dozen candidates will be in the hands of their friends before the roses bloom again. '" On behalf pi the Ananias Club I hasten to assureDr. Jenkins that his invitation to . attend the annual ban quet of the North Carolina Society in Baltimore is accepted. The "date for the feast of reason and flow of soul has not beenset, but that makes no difference. Dr. Olds will, hire a special train over the Cape Fear and Raleigh Railroad, and the entire membership will attend in a body. If Mr. Mitchell decides to write a book he well probably live to wish he hadn't. He should remember what the psalmist says. And, besides, the expe rience of the Rev. Dr. Peters, who was a witness for the miners before the strike commission, should beTa terri ble example. f The fur has only begun to fly on tha subject of negro education. The effort of Mr. Scales to interest the public la only a mild prelude to what we may. expect when the Legislature meets. The -Pennsylvania-Jury that would not-award damages to a pretty girl who fell over , a paling fence in her efforts to escape a playful old widower who was trying to kiss her, was a set of heartless wretches without a spark of gallantry. If the suit had been brought in a North Carolina court and " the plaintiff had averred that tho : defendant was a corporation the Jury would have given the girl at least Ave thousand dollars to divide with hec lawyers. .-' With Colombia turning the coll shoulder to Uncle Sam it will be a solace to our wounded pride to learnj from President Castro that Venezuela is our friend. ' " ' The continued absence of Col. Jack Sellars from the city is a source of grief to his many friends here. It would be a relief to the sense of some thing lost to hear him say: "Had a good breakfast this morning."- r General Miles' tour of inspection very unexpectedly afforded him an op portunity to Inspect the rocks on th Philippine coast when the transport Ingalls ran aground with the com- manding general of the army on board. It may not be too late to observe that Grover Cleveland shows more wisdom in going gunning where ducks are ducks than Mr. Roosevelt does in hunting bear with rabbit hounds. One thing worth remembering is that collisions between locomotives and troN ley, cars are impossible in Raleigh. People in some other towns would be happier if they had the same cause for congratulation. Japanr Mrmballam (New York Evening Post.) The Ansrlo-Saxon. in his self-assur j anC6f thinks that Ms plctoral symbol- lsm which he has , borrowed chiefly from the Greek and Hebrew, is tha onlv one contained in decorative art. The .Anchor aa representing' hope, the wings for aspiration, the', crown "for ' power, the sceptre for authority, th scroll o open volume for wisdom are the ma n features in his little system. He seldom realizes that the Japanese have developed symbolism into a sys tem so extensive as to make that of his own art world clumsy and ridicu lous in comparison. To the brown men of Dai Nippon, Western symbolism is puerile and ridiculous. TMeirs repre-t sents the united labor of the poet, painter, sculptor and embroiderei;. A , thousand objects, all attractive and a majority beautiful per se, represent spiritual counterparts. The system is applied to kakamonas or wall banners, fans, garments and screens. If you wish to convey to af riend the senti ment of good luck, you send him ". screen ' on which are painted or em broidered storks flying toward the sun. If the friend be aged, the storks should be flying toward the nest, and If very aged, the storks should be alighting. Where, on the other hand, death has occurred in some family to which you. are attached, the symbol which ex presses the fact is the cobweb, with or without the spider. Tere the Ja panese artists are divided. The real istic school Introduces the spider, to suggest the voractlty and destructlvc ness of Azrael; the idealistic school omits the spider, and uses the web to express the thought that where the web is there is no longer any hutnan activity, and that even the spider which" made the web has shared a sim ilar fate. Where, for example, a house is in mourning, the inmates should be sheltered with screens on which ap pear the graceful but sombre lines of ' the cobwebs. At least twenty birds are used to represent the different emotions, and three-score of leaves, flowers and trees havo these seconda ry meanings. ' Not -alone does each leaf have ft meaning per se, but this is varied again by Juxtaposition with one or two ' other-leaves. The combining or group ing is a positive science In itself. Most prominent of ell the symbols is the sacred, mountain Fujiyama. Doubtless the majestic beauty and extraordinary isolation of that world famous peak impressed the people of the Islands from the very first. By degrees It" be came a symbol of their own country and of that higher country to which all souls yearn. It was a mountain end also a door into heaven. As a symbol. It expresses patriotism, the hearth spiritual and a?plratlon. When, therefore, you desire to present a screen to a friend let it contain storks, swallows and sparrows, bamboo?, oak leaves, fishes, the Temple of Nikko and Fujiyama, but do not send onu; with a cobweb unless there be death In the family, or one with the dragon of rapacity unless you desire to insult him.
