All day things had gone wronrr, and I had sr do in tl cake bb Cseeintft; Xgj and tK to glue, on t" was t&t anniversary of our wedding. 1 IfVDeary me,' I thought, p the oven to see how the turkey was get ting on. "I can't believe itr has been thirty years since Tom and I stood up before Preacher Censor to get married it really doesn't seem that long; but Pr(cachertCensor has been dead and gone thesp twenty years, .Tom's hair is as white as the flour at the mill,' and I well, , I don't feel so very old yet, and wouldn't realize the flight of time so much if I hadn't Jamie, here, with me," and I glanced at our only child a man now in years, but to me always a child; for he had never crown in statue since j ten long years ngo, when they brought him in mangled and bleeding, his feet crippled for life caused, by a fall from a beam in the mill. I thought it would kill me. at first, to see my once active, bonny, bright, dar ling tramping a ound on crutches: but somehow I got used to it as years passed us both by so used to it, indeed, that when Jamie asked me that Thanks giving morning if I would take Dora for hiy daughter, I flared up at him and answered him more sharply than I should' have thought possible for me to answer my idolized boy. -What right had he to leave me for Dora? Not that I disliked the girl, though the teas a strange sort of body living first at one house then at another. Our neighbors were all working people and managed to get along without hired help, except fieldhands and some such man-labor; it was only at house-cleaning times that Dorawaa needed steadily, or when rewing was going to be done, at marriages or funerals. It was a hap 1 hazard way of getting one's bread, but Dora was always busy ; for she was as handy at boy's work as any lad in the villages and had the advantage of beirjg more intelligent Dora would be just the wife for my son ; she was energetic, robust, strong and smart, while he was the crippled son of a hard working miller, who could leave him no money or estate when he died ; and me, his mother, who could leave him ouly to the mercy of. the world when life was ended. But I steeled my heart against his pleading voice and eyes, and gave him short, anry replies, until he could stand it no longer and hobbled away slowly and tremblingly, toward the mill. My heart cried out for 'him; but mi stifled its reproaches, and gave vent to my -ugly feelings by spitefully dashing all manner of kitchen utensils out upon the porch. After the turkeys were tanned to russet and gold in the big oven, and the cakes were done, the ex citement that had kept me in a flurry al day suddenly left me, and I sat down is the disordered kitchen and had a good, long, hard cry over my poor boy. Still I felt that all this , trouble was Dora' fault, and I tried to hush, my accusing conscience by blaming her. By sundown all was ready to receive the expected guests. Dora had come so as to help me about the tables, and I had treated her so coldly that her usually bright, sweet, sunshiny look fled from feer face, and there seemed, - oddly enough, a gloomy cloud spreading shad' ow-like, all over the house. Tom and Jamie came in late from the mill, for it was being repaired and the ' master's eye" was required incessantly. Jamie stopped on the porch, and before my very eyes with never a hint that he svw the saw the anger flashing out of them he drew Dora's face down to his and kissed her. Then I was mad and said things that made them tremble at their unjust bit terness and hate. Jamie never answered me, but limped up-stairs to his own roonvand stayed there several hours; aa for Dora, she disappeared. By one3 and twos and threes the guests began to congregate in my little best room until it was crowded, and they were forced, for want of space, to move on into the other rooms or scatter about the garden. The young folks choose the. latter place, as the night wes mild as summer itself, and the big full moon, that seemed too heavy ever to rise above our heads, was floating slowly up over the eastern hills. The lovers looked so blissful and happy, that it made me almost sorry I had driven Dora and Jamie apart by my fearful tongue lashing, but my bark was worse than my bite and it was Jamie's own fault if he hadn't found that out long ago. For the next hour or so I forgot Jamie; but when supper time came, I crept up-stairs to his little ioom and peepedJa. He lay stretched on the bed by thek Window in the white moonlight, wbijas as bright as day, showing me H,plaii'2Ji.poor, dwarfed feet, his use- l4 loam i littles m.aA liim grand., wide orehaadiii (He was still dressed but his overdrawn Nreath assured me he was still sleeping. felt that I had no right to call him "back from that mysterious realm of sweet Unrealities I, who had spoiled the possi ble beauty of the real so I quietly de scended the stairs and invited my merry guests to partake "of the supper I had prepared for them. My face I wreathed in smiles and none knew that the mil ler's wife did not joy in the gayety oi the hour. . After supper the lovers went out again, in pairs, into the moonlight, the older folks returned to the parlor, and I, being left to myself, went upstairs laden with good things a peace-offering to my Jamie. I open the door. I could never make you comprehend the terrible loneliness and emptiness of that little -room-Jamie was gone. I alone knew of the dangerous somj nambulic habits of my son a hatit that began in infancy, and that, in boyhood, made him a cripple for life ajd now in heartrending tones I called to my friends to aid me in my frantic seach from gar ret to cellar but to no avail. ' , Suddenly the belle of the village a m ss full of nerves ana fancies came rushing into the house exclaiming: "A ghost! A ghost!" "Where!" I cried, feeling sure it was Jamie she had seen. "Moving in short, slow steps along the scaffolding of the mill oh, I am sick with fright." "Save him, oh, my God, save him!" I cried, rushing out to the mill, followed by a crowd of awe-stricken men and women. Yes, there he was, highnp on the out side scaffolding of the mill, walking with wide, unseeing eyes, along the moonlit plank. ily very life-blood eemed clogged about my heart; I could not stir nor beseech the men to -go aftei him my tongue cleaved to the roof of my mouth. On lie came toward a plank that was laid far out over the deep, slug gish waters of the race the noise of his crutches rinc'ng out in the awful silence as each step brought him nearer to death. ' Tramp tramp- he was a!most to the end now ; yet we dared not move lest we should wakfc htm and make death a cer tiinty. Nearer, nearer every wroa- I had' done him, every sharp word "i hid unwittingly given him, came crowding 111 -Nil l ' CV '-- -J in now upon my heart and soul like so many accusing devils, torturing me to agony as I stood there watching him draw slowly toward the end of the scaffolding. One more step willbring him to his death oh, my darling! mj darling! I clutched Tom's sleeve-J-Tom, who stood there, numb and almost paralyzed. Sud denly over the roof, with cat-like steps, crept the lithesome figure of a woman, who came to the edge, swung herself down to the scaffolding, and was close upon him as he stood upon the verge of eternity. "With, wonderful presence of mind she wrapped her strong right arm firmly around a projecting beam, then quickly seized him with the other. I knew from his sudden tremor that he had awakened I saw him turn j?onf usedl and look; about 'him, then down, fai down into the black line of the deep, iluggish race. With a cry he reeled like a drunken man, his crutches fell from his uplifted hands, his poor crippled limbs tottered beneath the unaccustomed weight of his body, and, jthough she strained des perately to support him, the one single left arm was too weak for so great a bur den, and down they fell he and the woman down, down into the deep, black water. Then I tainted. When I opened my eyes again the men wate carrying Jamie and Dora, dripping and water-soaked, but living still, thank God, into the' home. I fell on my knees before them as they lay glistening with water drops on the little horsehair sofas, and kissed the dear ones who were saved for me and cried like a baby for their for giveness. f Dora drew my face to hers and whisp ered softly in my ear : "Our mother and then I knew I was the happiest old woman on this fair earth. By and by her pretty color all came back and she slipped away from us to change her drenched clothes for dry ones. And Jamie? When he wa3 warm and dry he lay upon the sofa, his face bit up with a smile that glorified the little room ; it spoke voicelessly of his sudden blissful happiness and the eyes that he turned upon his foolish old mother were brim full of tender love and thankfulness. Thus ended one Thanksgiving Day; and when the next one came my daughtei Dora was the sweetest, most sensibl little bride that ever gained her mother's love byher unselfish heroism. D&zqOl. Free 2rM. ' ' nry"-' How to Cook the Thanksgiving Bird. The secret in haviDg a good roast tur key is to baste it often and to cook it long. So says such excellent authority on practical cooking as Mrs. Henderson. A small turkey of seven or eight pounds (the best selection, if fat) should be roasted or baked three hours at least. A very large turkey should not be cooked a minute less than four hours. If properly basted it will not become dry. First, then, after the turkey is dressed, season it well, sprinkling salt and pep per on the inside ; stuff it and tie it well in shape ; either lard the top or lay slices of bacon over t; w,et the skin and sprin kle it well with pepper, salt and flour. It is well to allow a turkey to remain some time stuffed before cooking. Pour a little boiling water into the bottom of the dripping pan. If it is to te roasted do not put it too hear the coals at first, until it geto well heated through; then gradually draw it nearer. The excellence of the turkey depends much upon basting it frequently; occa sionally baste it with a little butter, ,of tener with its own drippings. Just be fore taking it from the oven put on more melted butter and sprinkle more four; this will make the skin more crisp and brown. When the turkey is cooking boil the giblets well, chop them fine and mash the liver. When the turkey is done, put it on a hot platter. Put the baking pan on the fire, dredge in a little flour, and when cooked stir in a little boiling water or stock; strain, skim off the fat, add the giblets and season with lalt and pepper. Keverles or a Gobbler. The swain who said to Phyllis fair, "Yoa I more than turkeys love," This day of days woull scarcely care The candor of his words to prove. The meekest housewife to her boss Gives back talk not one time in twenty; But should she have cranberry sauce To-morrow, she may give him plenty!

Moulding an Humble Adjunct o the Smoker's Outfit Three Kinds of Clay Enter into Its Composition." Nearly all the clay used in the manu facture of clay pipes is obtained at Woodbridge and Amboy, N. J. There there are immense beds and mines, some open and others reached only by deep shafts, where clay is mined in the same manner as coal. Three kinds of clay ars7,mixed together tQgiTa the re- quirea properties. vrao wuea mined is nearly as black as coal. This has a very fine grain and gives the pipe the smooth finish. Another kind has an altogether different appearacce in the rough state. It is quite white and resembles a piece of cheese. This kind furnishes the tenacity. Without this second kind the other two would not be able to hold together, but would crumble as they dried. The third kind is brown when damp, and stands the burning process well. ! These three kinds of clay, without any one of which the composition would be incomplete, are the only ingredients of a clay pipe. Clay is brought to this city, says the Syracuse Herald, by the canal boat and stored away in the cel lar. In preparing the clay for the work shop it is first put into a huge vat to soak. About equal parts of the three kinds are used. This is allowed to stand from twelve to twenty hours, ac cording to the length of tir-e the clay has be?n exposed to the sir and hardened. When it has been soaked enough it is shovelled into a huge pug' mill. The pugmill looks like an old- fashioned churn. A horse is hitched to the. end of a bar, while the other end is set into a pivot in the centre of a hugright cylinder. To the pivot, evolves as the horse is driven a circle, is attached twelve ives about three inches broad. "l are slightly turned itp, V V w A t V. .1, -kv R.B9 Q1UUUU uuvuiju tuc L.

Gretlc Care must be taken not to let these babbitts dry too much, or they will have to be soaked and ground over again., - The babbitts or bricks of the prepared clay, which look like black loaves of bread, are taken to the mould ing room and there soaked again to bring it back to the proper moulding temper. : Then comes the part of the labor that would delight a child. A workman takes a knife and cuts the babbitts' into pieces about an inch square and six or eight inches long. These he works and rolls them on a board with hi3 hands, and ending up with a dexterous clip turns out a roll of soft, pliable clay "with a knob at one end like a pipe bowL These rolls are laid out on a rack and partly dried again. They are again soaked and passed to the moulding machines. The moulder holds a medinm-sized piece of wire in his right hand, and sticking the point into the small end of the roll, with his left he works the clay on the wire, after the maaner of drawing on a glove. The roll with the wire still sticking out the smaller end is put into an iron mould of the required shape and the two sides of the mould snapped together. The mould is then put into the ma chine with the top of the knob, which will soon be the bowl, up. A lever is pulled down, and the smooth, round end of an iron rod forced into the mass, forming; the bowk ', As the lever is let go of, it flies up of its own weight and a springy knife passes across the large end of the mould, cutting off the waste clay that remains on the top of the bowl. The mould is opened immedi ately, the wire drawn out and the pipe placed on a rack to dry. These half finished pipes are allowed to stand just long enough to dry the oil with which the mould is lubricated, and are then passed to a girl who trims off the seams where the two halves of the 'mould come together. The soft, damp pipes are then allowed to dry thoroughly. The burning kila is about 8 feet ia diameter and 10 feet hih and built of fire brick. The pipes are carefully packed in havy earthen sagers about 10 inches in diameter and 10 or 12 inches deep, and thesa sasrerc are piled up ia tiers with hot sir flues between each tier. About 325 gros3 of pipes are burned at a time. The burning procesi requires a white heat and it must be maintained from 10 to 14 hours. About 36 hours are required to cool the furnace. Alter the pipe has become thoroughly cool, the small end i dipped into a solution, the composition of which h a secret, to glazs tha mouth piece, otherwise, until the pipo had been used some time, the Hps, would stick to it unpleasantly. The pipes are packed ia one, two and three gross boxis with shavings to prevent breakage, and shippsdtoths wholesaler. There are 5W 4; J Y about 150 different styles of pipes and, ' as a rule, 10 different kinds are packed in a box. j . A Confiding Sheriff. Apropos of Nantucket, Mass., one hears some rather odd sayings and of . some quaint happenings there, says B. A. Marr, in Harper a. "You see we are somewhat out of the way," said one of the islanders, so tramps seldom trouble us, and it is only when our tourist visitors come that we think of locking our doors at night" : Last fall a man was tried for petty larceny, and sentenced by the judge to three months in jail. A fow days after aha trial, the judge, accompanied by the sheriff, was on bis way to the Bos ton boat, when they passed' a man saw' ing wood. The sawyer stopped his work, touched his hat and said, "Good morning; Judge." The judge looked at him a moment, passed on a short distance, then turned to glance backward, with the question, "Why, sheriff, isn't that the man I sen tenced to three months in jaill" Tes," replied the sheriff, hesitating ly ; yes, that's the man; but you you see, judge, we we haven't got anyone in jail now and we thought it a useless expense to hire somebody to keep the jail for three months just for this one man; so I gave him the jail key and told him that if he would sleep there nights it would be all riht." Why He Handles Baggage Gingerly. "Yes, I had a close call once," said a baggage man to the Atlanta Constitu tion, "and you can tell by the way I handle these 'trunks that it had it's effect upon me," and he gently lifted a six-story Saratoga in his car. "I used to be rough and threw baggage around ,as though it was impossible to injure it, but that is passed now. Til tell you what cured m?. A follow got on a train at a little way station on the Louisville and Nashville, - when I was running on that road, and his trunk, a small cheap affair, excited my con tempt, I guess, for I threw it into a corner of the car with all the force that long practice enabled me to give it. 1 found ojut what was in that trunk when I got out of the hospital a few weeks later. ,,The end of the baggage car and my head suffered about equally, and 1 was cured of throwing trunks. That trunk was loaded and I will never for get the closest call I ever had." And the baggage man teaderly trundled a sample case to tha other end of the car. Buttermilk Kills a Fish. About fifteen years ago Colonel WilV iagham of Albany, Ga., was putting up a mill at the B.ue Spring, The car penter having the work ia charge gen erally footed it from Albany every morning, eating his breakfast at home and talcing his dinner bucket along. The mechanic was fond of buttermilk and generally took about half a gallon in a big bottle, which he corked tightly and hung by a string in the cold waters of the spring until dinner time. One day he hung his bottle as usual; but when he went for it at noon it was miss ing and the string broken., The poor fellow thought as a matter of course, that some roue had got it A few days afterward Tom Clark was fishing down the creek and. came upon an im mense rock fish burst 'clean" open, and pieces of the buttermilk bottle ly ing all about. Tom's theory is that the fish swallowed the bottle, the butter milk effervesced, and the fhh was a gncn Atlanta Constituioa. '- Aluminum in Cast Iron. Several interesting papers were read at a Cleveland (Ohio) convention de voted to mechanical science and engin eering. W. J. Keep, C. E., superin tendent of ths Michigan Stove company of Detroit, read one on The Influence of Alumicum Upon Cast Iron." He said he had made a large number of tests with ordinary white acd gray cast iron by adding aluminum. Ho proved that aluminum caused white iron to turn to gray, that it en tirely prevented blowholes, increased the strength, took away all tendency to chill, lessened the thickness of scale, softened the iron, .increased elasticity, reduced permanent set, and, with white iron increased fluidity. Aluminum re duces shrinkage by its sudden chang ing of combined' carbon to graphite. Substantially all of ths aluminum added remains ia the metal, to exert an influ ence when remolted. Han la the Family. In an Italian garrison there was a private soldier named TJgoliao. Oae of the cfSccrs took the soldier aside ene day and asked him: "Are you a descendant of the famous Count TJgoIiao, about whom Dante wrote?" VNo, replied the soldier; all my ancestors were poor piople." I refer to Coast U-oIiso who was starved to death with his sons ia the Tower of Fisa." 'II he dida't get enough to eat very likely he was an ancestor of mine after all," replied the honest soidbr. Texas Siftings. . r- A.

There is eo great a competition among the American publishers who print cheap editions of the latest foreign nov els that immediately a book is announc ed on the other side they keep a con stant watch for its arrival here. Then tho one who can tear it to pieces the quickest, give the slips to the printer and have it bound and for sale at the book stores in the shortest possible time of course :eaps the benefit thereby and triumphs over his rivals. I remember a certain instance in particular, where a book that had made considerable stir in Paris, and wis dispatched post haste to an cntcrprisisg gentleman in this city, was divided equally among 20 translators, put to the press and ex posed for sale within 43 hours after its arrival A book translated in such a way of course lacfcsin grace and spirit what it makes up for in a literal sense. But the public buy and read it . never theless, and the publisher's bank ac count is increased proportionately. With some translations, as, for instance, several of A phonso Daudet's novels, especial care and a mnch longer time are taken in their production, while as a rule, the plates of the original illus trations are scot over and used as well. Accordingly one ii a counterpart of the other except as regards the text, though that too, it identical in composition. Fast as these books are gotten oat, how ever, it is cot fast encugh' to suit the taste of the eager American reader, and now we are to bvs the novel that M. Zola is a beat completing folly a month even before the Parisians themselves ee it. That vigorous delineator of re alism, ha, I hesr, agreed for a certain price, to givo the last six chapters of Le IJevj to a Chicago house, who, inasmuch as they already have the pre ceding chapter, will be enabled to pub lish the novel ia its entirety without further delay. Then, I resume that if the Frenchmen ds ire to steal cur edi- tics of their I'.uiinous countryman s work, they are quite tt liberty to dc so. N -W Yjrktewv - . Letters. Such a little thing letter, !
