Ui ft CbanRsgivins Sermon. i y | j m BY NEWELL DWIGHT H1LL1S, Ptjtor of Plymtouth Ckttrvh Now that 282 years have passed, Thanksgiving has become our first American holiday. It is essentially the feast of the family. It celebrates the home and sings the fireside joys. The day really celebrates a deliver¬ ance from danger. The summer of 1623 was unfriendly and the har¬ vests failed. The Indian hunters re¬ treated Into the forest, food and game were scarce, and with terror the Pilgrim fathers looked forward to the winter and possible starvation and death. In their hour of extrem¬ ity the minister announced that on the last Thursday of November there would be a day of fasting and prayer on which they would commend them¬ selves and their enterprise unto God. But scarcely had they reached the cabin where the service was to be held than the sentinel shouted the announcement that a ship with weather-beaten sails and blackened sides was entering the harbor. The good ship brought food against the winter, seed against the spring, friends and helpers against the ene¬ my. Delirious with joy, the Pil¬ grims came together a second time for thanksgiving, and so this day was born—this day celebrating the festi¬ val of the family. Ours Is the only nation in the world that by a happy holiday glorifies tho home as the first of America’s Institutions. If other years have furnished grounds for gratitude, this year gives them by way of pre-eminence. Let us be thankful— For four.bins stretching across the continent from ocean to ocean filled with wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, timothy, clover, alfalfa, cotton sheaves ripened for the hunger of herd and flock, and above all, food for man. For one bin stretching three thou¬ sand miles long filled with barrels of apples, Jonathan and Spitzenberg and golden pippin; with pear and plnm and peach, with grapes and nuts, with all the preserved richness \ JPP iX ? !r v. t I wr; Id ¥ A of raspberry and strawberry, and tho ruddy vegetables-—potato and beet, carrot, celery and turnip; the pump¬ kin and the squash. For abundant rains, that have filled tho rivers, fed the water springs and reservoirs, and rejoiced the cat¬ tle upon a thousand hills. For the comforts and conveniences for tho home and fireside that have brought universal happiness to cot¬ tage and hamlet and mansion. For the match, that has brought the fire of Prometheus down from heaven an 1 given warmth for cold and comfort for distress. For stoves aud coal, instead of the house blackened with soot, and a meal cooked with freshly cut chips ’from the tree. For the cable, that has brought foreign capitals near, anchoring Lon¬ don just outside Sandy Hook, and making Bombay the second turn on tho left, just around the corner. For these steel tracks, that have brought us fruits from the sunny South, furs from the frozen North, with rice and sugar and coal, and made the people of the mow and the winter to enjoy the fruits of the tropics. For the reaper, instead of the sic¬ kle, furnishing bread to the wor.d. For the looms, that enable one man in one year to clothe a thousand m°n against the rains of summer the snows of winter. For the trip hammer, that has tiplied the stroke of man’s arm; aud the locomotive, that has the stride of his foot; aud the that have hastened the movement his fingers. For the spectroscope, that made us at home in foreign planets. For the telephone, that has man's labor aud brought distant tual. tances near. For the X-ray, that has made body transparent to surgeons physicians. that have For anaesthetics, ened pain, robbed surgery of its rors and relieved sufferers of agony- that For photography, for uc the faces of our departed For the lessening of class and the return of the sp.rit of will. n fU. id 5 V ** C For the announcement that never there „een so few children in store and shop, or sp a proportion in the school¬ For the fact that all the paths that to office and honor and wealth now open to all poor boys. That to the four desirable voca¬ called the profesions have now added forty more that offer prizes to young men who fitted for the task. For the lessening of drunkenness our country. For the new enthusiasm in mu¬ reform. For the enormous gifts this year out for college, library and and social reform. For the strengthening of the home of the family ties, and the in¬ movement against easy di¬ .’’or the increasing honor and dig¬ that attaches to the Republic.

For the return of the tides of faith in the church and tho decline of infidelity. For the lessening of pessimism and tho increase of joy in life. For the fact that the whole trend Is up grade instead of down grade; that the gains are universal and im¬ measurable. Never .vere the reasons for Thanksgiving so many or so weighty. Our people are justified in looking forward to a golden era, when all young hearts shall be turned toward school and church, when all feet will be sr.ndalled for a long upward march along the paths of happiness and peace. Thankful to-day for barns overflowing with grain, for stores overflowing with goods, for stuffed shocks and shelves, for homes over¬ flowing with happiness, on which God’r holiest sunlight falls; thankful for laws that are just, for liberty that is universal, for new and lustrous forms of oeauty and of truth, let us be chieuy thankful for God's un¬ speakable gift »n the Christ, who brought immortality to light and who, having redeemed the world from sin and vice, goes on to plant a great, sweet hope within the heart and points all those who on Thanksgiving Day front an empty chair—points them, 1 say, upward, where there are other r'ufisions and the Father's House, and where, on a new Thanks¬ giving Day, the *amlly circle shall be reunited imidst scenes of unwonted York World.

To Thee we bring The tribute of our praise, For happy memories of the past And hopes for coming days.

In arranging tho do not, in the name of common go to tho absurdity of using decorations, which really have raison d'etre on any table. The damask cloth or the polished or oak needs no such fic¬ and unmeaning frivols r.s and loops of ribbon. If flow¬ arc used, golden chrysanthe¬ dark red asters or spikes of : alvia—gifts of the late :.u always appropriate. Pos¬ some one has brought home of bittersweet or branches of barberry from the latest out¬ If so, well aud good. Fruit al¬ makes an effective centre for Thanksgiving table, and one truer to tradition than flowers; not oranges, nor yet California grapes in this climate, but apples, red and yel¬ low, burnished until cme can see her reflection in them; yellow-brown pears, and the rich purple, pink or green Niagara grapes. Arrange the fruit on a low glass or silver dish, placing a reflector under it, if dian «* basket *> •» *?»W or a half pumpkin or jar hollowed out and lined with oiled paper, all make pretty and appro Pria.a fruit holdur.. Urn*, «. fruit with an eye to the color effect, and this, with the scarlet of the rad¬ ishes or deeper red of the cranberry, the crisp green and white or the cel ery and rich brown of the turkey, will give all the color necessary.

Thanksgiving Day is one of those home festivals whoso popularity will never wane while American women love their homes, It is the great family festival of the year, It bears no resemblance to the Harvest Home festivals of England, which were cel¬ ebrated with rout and riot and in public places. While Thanksgiving Day is recognized and appointed by public proclamation, it is in no sense a public day. It is never celebrated by public processions like the Fourth of July* There is nothing to break the Sabbath-like peace of the day except the occasional parties of juve¬ nile mummers in some cities.

Adequately to describe the new State Capitol at Harrisburg, Pa., one has to use superlatives. The world has been ransacked and no money spared to make the building beauti¬ ful. The thousands present at the dedication by President Roosevelt on October 4 saw a structure that, for magnificence and artistic adornment, has few equals in this country. The length of the building is 525 feet, its breadth 254 feet. The height from the ground floor to the top of the allegorical figure sur mounting the dome is 292 feet. The area of the building is .86,275 square feet, or 2000 square feet, larger than St. Paul's Cathedral, in London. In its construction 40,000 separate piece3 of granite were used, weigh¬ ing from one to thirty-five tons each. There are thirty-two monoliths in the structure, weighing thirty-five tons each. A total of more than 400,000 cubic feet of granite was used on the exterior of the building alone. The building covers a trifle more thaD two acres of ground, and if a man walked around the completed struct ure, following all the embrasures and offsets, he would go'half a mile be¬ fore reaching his starting point. The weight of the dome is 52,000,000 pounds. The entirexost of the struc¬ ture and its furniture is over ?12, 000,000. Architecturally described, the Cap itol consists of a main building, with imposing facades and two wings. One enters by a flight of wide stone steps through the bronze doors to the ro tunda. Opposite the entrance is a broad marble staircase, with elabor ate balustrades and massive electric light fixtures of bronze. Overhead is the dome, 280 feet above the tiled floor. Done in gold, cream and rob in's egg blue, the dome displays a wealth of color, softened by the light that finds its way through amber coi ored windows. By an arrangement of electric lights the effect of the c mbination of colors is heightened at night. On the first floor are the House and Senate caucus rooms. The corri dors on this floor are to bo decorated with paintings by Violet Oakley, John W. Alexander and W. B. Van Ingen. The sculptures are by Barnard, The entrances to the Senate and House are from the galleries on the second floor. In the Senate chamber, which is eighty by ninety-five feet in size, the colors predominating are green and gold. From the walls at inter vals four Doric pilasters, fluted in gold, rise on each side from a marble wainscoting. The ceiling is ribbed into curved recesses, gilded in quaint designs. Six immense glided chande liers suspended by massive chains provide the lights. Tho House chamber is wainscoted In marble. The ceiling has a baek ground of solid blue, with arabesques wrought in gold. Stained glass vvin flow’s add to the beauty of this room, Great care has been taken to iudi vidualize the decorations and furni¬ ture of each room. The chairs and desks are made to conform to the decorations of each department, and ir. wiil be impossible to take even a chair from one »jf the rooms and place it in another room without marring the harmony. The Governor's rooms are tho finest in the Capitol. The Governor's private office is a room thirty by thir tv-five feet, wainscoted to r. height of eleven feet in panelled oak, carved in rich and costly design. The mantel is of African marble, the shelf sup ported by fan caryatides. The recep¬ tion room is also of panelled oak. The other floors in the main building and wings are finished inadull Indian red and marble wainscoting, relieved at intervals by white Vermont mar¬ ble columns and pilasters. On the upper floors are the various working departments of the State government. The style of architecture is Roman Corinthian. In its detail the House is Corinthian, the Senate Doric. As one looks up to the massive dome the following inscription catches the eye: | There may be room for such | | j a holy experiment, and my | j God will make It the seed of | j a nation, that an example j may be set up to the nations, | j j that we may do the thing j that is truly wise and just. . : The words are by William Penn. Heard Marriage by Rhone. At the wedding of Charles Harry, of Coatesville, and Miss Sarah M. Black, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Jackson Black, of West Chester, at the home of the bride's parents, the mother of the bridegroom was unable to be present, so a telephone service was installed. By this arrangement she sat in her i home at Coatesville and heard the words of the ceremony.—Philadel¬ phia Public Ledger. Forgotten French Toilers. The weekly day of rest imposed by the French Government does not ap¬ ply to large classes of workers. In¬ numerable cooks, chambermaids and maids of all work have written to us concerning their unhappy fate. Why, they ask. since the Legislature occu¬ pies itself with bakers and restaurant employes, with clerks and errand boys, does it systematically neglect domestic servants?—Le Petit Pari sien.
