GOOD CHEER FOR THANKSGIVING.
Hints For the Housewife Iu Preparing th.
Holiday Feast.
The housewife whore prayer was that
some new sorts cf fish and meat might
b6 created to tempt the appetites of her
family probably uttered that entreaty
in the spring. At this season of the
year, when the poulterer’s stall is heavi­
ly laden with feathered and furry ob­
jects, hanging limply by their foot, there
is no lack of variety of foods. Rabbits
and squirrels are in the market, and,
although they are not used here so much
as farther south, they make delicious
dishes. Pheasants—not real ones, but
what are so called, though they are
actually “ruffed grouse”—quail, par­
tridge, wild duck, woodcock, reedbirds
and tho like are all here to grace not
only the sportsman’s table, but that of
the thrifty marketer.
Rabbits are susceptible to all sorts of
cooking, as tho virgii.ians know. Roast­
ed, stowed with onions, fricasseed, lard­
ed, fried, made into pie and best of all
barbecued, they are delicious. Squirrels
are stewed, broiled and made into ap­
petizing ragouts. Birds aro roasted,
broiled or made into pies.
As soon as birds are brought home
.hey should be drawn. Then they should
be rinsed with soda and water and after­
ward with clean cold water. When
they have been wiped dry, a coating of
fine salt and black pepper should be
added. Small birds may be kept in a
refrigerator. Larger ones should be
hung in a cool, dark place with a cloth
thrown over them. If they are to be
kept for any length of time, a lump of
charcoal should be kept iu the cavity of
each fowl to prevent decomposition.—
Philadelphia Times.
THE PILGRIMS’ CONTRACT.
Pledged Themselves to Be Governed by the
Majority—Spirit of Independence.
At Malabarre bay, as some called the
Provincetown waters, the Pilgrims form­
ed a compact It was written on the lid
of Elder Brewster's chest Elder Brews­
ter's looking glass may still be seen in
the old Brewster house near Plymouth,
into which all of the Pilgrims must
have looked, including perhaps Robin­
son of Leyden, but we do not know
where the chest, which should be im­
mortal, may be found. The oompact
read as follows:
“In the name of God, amen. We
whose names are underwritten, the
loyal subjects of our dread sovereign
lord, King James, by the grace of God,
of Great Britain, France and Ireland
king, defender of the faith, eto., hav­
ing undertaken for the glory of God,
and advancement of the Christian faith,
and honor of onr king and country, a
voyage to plant the first colony in the
northern parts of Virginia, do by these
presents, solemnly and mutually, in the
presence of God and one of another,
covenant and combine ourselves together
into a civil body politic, for our better
ordering and preservation and further­
ance of the ends aforesaid, and by virtue
hereof to enact, constitute and frame
such just and equal laws, ordinances,
acts, constitutions and offioes from time
to time as shall be thought most meet
and convenient for the general good of
the colony, unto which we promise all
due submission and obedience.
“In witness whereof we have hereun­
der subscribed our names, at Cape Cod,
the 11th of November (O. S.), in the
year of the reign of our sovereign lord,
King James of England, France and
Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scot­
land, the fifty-fourth, Anno Domini,
1620.”
Read this carefully. It ought to be
read in all public assemblies on forefa­
thers’ day. In it is the principle and
spirit of the old Magna Charta of Run-
nvinede and the future Declaration of
Independence — without Jefferson’s
splendid rhetoric—the constitution of
the United States and the emancipation
proclamation. It was signed by all the
Pilgrims, and iu it they pledged them­
selves to be governed by the will of the
majority in constitutions and laws
made by the majority, and they made
their ruler the will of the whole in seek­
ing the independence to follow the will
of God. — Hezekiah Butterworth in
Golden Rule.
The Thanksgivings of the present
time may be more refined, more stylish,
than those of half a century ago, but no
style or elegance can give our young
people or their parents the exhilaration
or the happiness of the Thanksgivings
that I recall of more than 70 years ago.

in Massachusetts, and enter a large, com­

besides?
The door swings open, and the chil­
dren rush in from school in boisterous
mirth, tossing books and garments on
the table.
“Hurrah! No moro school this week,
for it is Thanksgiving. Now, what shall
we do to help you, ma?”
“Now, set us all to work to help you,
ma. ”
“Put your books on their shelves and
your garments iu their proper places
first, and then we will find you plenty
to do,” said the gentle mother. The
help that the children could give was
plainly pointed out and cheerfully en­
tered upon. The turkeys, chickens and
ducks were to be killed and carefully
dressed by the elder boys. The raisins,
fruit and other material for pies, the
cake, biscuit and bread were allotted
to the girls under the mother’s super­
