Arrangement of the Table.
In arranging the Thanksgiving
table, do not, in the name of common
sense, go to the absurdity of using
ribbon decorations, w-hich really have
no raison d’etre on any table. The
snowy damask cloth or the polished
mahogany or oak needs no such fic¬
titious and unmeaning frivols as
Lows and loops of ribbon. If flow¬
ers arc used, golden chrysanthe
mums, dark red asters or spikes of
scarlet :alvia—gifts of the late au¬
tumn—are always appropriate. Pos
sibly some one has brought home
sprays of bittersweet or branches ot
scarlet barberry from the latest out¬
ing. If so, well and good. Fruit al
ways makes an effective centre for
the Thanksgiving table, and one truer
to tradition than flowers; not
oranges, nor yet California grapes in
this climate, but apples, red and yel
burnished until see her. (

Does Away With Sweeping.
One of the greatest inventions of
the present time is the suction ma¬
chine for renovating and cleaning
hotels, apartment houses, etc. No
sweeping is necessary. The power
necessary to operate the apparatus is
furnished by an engine fitted with a
wagon and supplied by means of rub¬
ber hose. The dust is forced into the
machine by suction, it being possible
to clean every part of the room, ceil¬
ings, floors, walls, furniture, etc. Up
to the present time this machine has
been used for large operations only.
Now a Chicago inventor has patented
a similar machine, which can be
used in every household. The power
apparatus is stationed in an outhouse
or other out-of-the-way place and
the renovator, reduced in size so that

it can be manipulated by anybody.
Expert skill is not required, In
cleaning the rooms the dust is gath¬
ered up in the collector, and when
the entire house is cleaned the reno¬
vator is taken to the cellar and the
dust removed, Its superiority over
the ordinary method of sweeping will
be at once apparent.
Little Susie's Gain.
After a week at the seashore, little
Susie was being weighed.
“When she came she tipped the
scales at forty-nine pounds,” said
Uncle Jack, “and now she weighs
forty-two."
“Oh!” cried Susie, “I’ve gained
t-w-o pounds—backwards!” — Har¬
per's Weekly.
Factions in the church soon reduce j
it to fractions. ■
* Festival.
The Home
Thanksgiving Day is one of those
festivals whose popularity will
wane while American women
their homes, It is the great
festival of the year, It bears
resemblance to the Harvest Home
of England, which were cel¬
with rout and riot and in
places. While Thanksgiving
Day is recognized and appointed by
proclamation, it is in no sense
public day. It is never celebrated
public processions like the Fourth
July. There is nothing to break
Sabbath-like peace of the day
the occasional parties of juve¬
nile mummers in some cities.
