Once more Thanksgiving comes around, with its "possum and taters" its pumkin pie, its turkey and cranberry! With its coming it behooves 3ilr ThasKsglYlofl Olfgrlcg. US to reca11 it3 or5gIn and PurPse- Thanks- ' giving i3 our National holiday. It had its ori gin in the gray dawn of our nation's history, when a handful of colonists opaned their hearts to God in thanksgiving for carrying them through aavsro winter and giving them a bountiful harvest. Let ua all, then, cording to the example set by our forefathers, thank God for the blessing: we have received; and in our thanking let us remember that none but the unwind can oe truiy inanKtul. Therefore while we turn our thoughts to the groaning table and glowing fireside of our own home, let us remember tne thousands of homeless orphans that fill our various Asylums through out the State, and make a suitable offering to some one of them according to the blessings we have received. The work of the orphan homes ap peals strongly to our judgment and to our sympathies. It merits our heartiest support. The Thanksgiving season has been set apart by the people of North Carolina as a time of special effort for aid to them. These thank-offerings are a real factor in their maintenance and improvement. They are beautiful expressions of the spirit of gratitude, and must be pleasing to the One who, through his servant said, "Pure religion and un dented before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

"Nowhere," says Collier's, "is the struggle for existence more incessant, more remorseless, than in the vegetable world." This poet of science has been recently reconfirmed by the annoucement of supsrintendent Par3ons,that the soil of Cen tral Park, New York, i3 played out. The tree3 are dying, the grass is thinning, and nothing will save it but a recoating with fresh, new soil. It has been known for a long time that the death-rate of the beautiful trees in the English park is enormous. Orchardists discovered this antagonism practically a decade ago. and the up-to-date orehardist keeps his soil b?.ra and brown by thorough cultivation. Continuing Collier's gives the fol lowing on the results of recent experiments along this line. "That tha grass from the sou substances tnat wove nee ied tor the nourishment the trees, and vice versa, was the first oxc'nation: that the t rees deprived : 'Tna.nk God . i j "Nothing is to be said to any one else, you understand, but I wanted to know. . Mr. Gordon was a man of prompt action. His decision was immediate, and his impulse to put it into effect was so swift that his hand was on the bell before he thought twice. But before ringing he stopped for a sec ond thought. "Of course I must discharge him," he said. "In a business like mine I can't have any one round that I can't trust. And yet it's a little hard, if the fellow really meant to do better. I see now why he offered himself at such low wages, and why he keeps so carefully inside." He opened the cash-book, and looked over the entries since the new book-keeper came. The work was done with almost painful accuracy. Mr. Gordon read them through and ran over the balances. It was all straight thus far. "Of course it is," he said to him self. "But how long will it continue so? I never can be sure what day he will break again in the old place. Business is business. I must have men whom I can trust." So he rang the Bell, The new book-keeper came in, his ! prison pallor intensified by his fear. He tried to walk erect, but Mr. Gor don thought of the lock-step. It was strange, he thought, that he had not notcied these things in the begin ning. Mr. Gordon," the man began, "I know why you have called me. I know what that man told you.

Rev. Mr. Jenkins began his re marks by stating that there was too little said in the pulpit, papers, etc., about our relation to the animals and how they should be treated. God made the animals before he made man. They are our fellow creatures, and they have some claims and rights. God thought enough of the birds and other animals as to include them in the commandments and to instruct the Isrealites as to how they (should treat them. He said that some people went to the extreme about their pet animals, and con demned the poodle dog fad which exists among the women who prefer dogs to children and the fad of erect ing monuments to dogs, cats and other such pets. He would prefer this extreme to the cruel extreme, however. He illustrated the effect of a kind word to a dog or cat and the faithfulness of these animals, citing instances of where dogs had laid down their lives for their mas ters. After pleading for the dogs and cats Mr. Jenkins turned the course of his remarks to the birds and their relation to the women's hats. The women were hit hard and those in the audience who were guilty of this evil became very restless. He pic tured the cruel way by which these wings and heads of bird3 were torn ! tiveness from the living birds and how the wingless birds were thrown to the ' And are those Xotlii-s going? I; t.

Another Undertakers' vine, to which great interest has been Outfit. attached is situated at St. Gabriel's Mission, California, and is estimated to be the largest and oldest vine in the United States. It is 105 years of age. The stalk is five feet six inches in circumference, and is said to have borne two tons of grapes in one season. The roots are said to go down 300 to 500 feet from the stem, and it is believed that they are fed from some subterranean stream of water. The man who is in communication with the water of his life has the secret of eternal life. He has the guarantee of "much fruit." The tree that is planted by the rivers of water must bring forth his fruit in his season.

The subject was taxen up oy tne rational rureau oi Agricul ture both in France and in the United States, and after prolonged re search the principal cause was discovered to be the somewhat unexpected o.-ie of the formation of substances in the soil by the grass which are di rectly toxic or injurious to tree3. Seedlings and young tree3 were plant el in pots and boxe3 filled with the same soil, and subjected to exactly the r.nn.A',nnna nf moisture, heat, and light. Part of these were then sown with grasses of various sorts, as well as clover, peas, and various other crops, and the remainder left bare, but thoroughly cultivated. The result almost invariably was that those seedlings whose soil was kept clear of srrowth grew faster and more vigorously than any of the others, al- t'nnncrh some crops like clover and peas seemea to mcenere omy sngnuy R O V Ck O with their growth; grass was most injurious of all.

But what's a man's religion for if it isn't for a thing like this?"- "I looked at the poor fellow's pale faceand I said to myself, 'Ye have done it unto me.'
