PIE, NOT TURKEY, IS HOUSEWS WORRY Thanksgiving Birds Plentiful but Eggs for Pies Are Scarce and High.

TEDDY'S COUSIN TO BE MARRIED TODAY

Fat turkey gobblers, with loads of "trimmings," will be seen on local dining tables two weeks from Thursday, according to the predictions made today by grocers of the city. The Richmond merchants say that the supply of big birds is unusually plentiful and the prices will not be boosted as high as in former years. Elaborate plans are being made by housewives to give old Mr. Turkey a warm reception when the annual holiday arrives, and fathers are already composing the little speech they will deliver as they start to dish out the "drum-sticks," white meat, and other choice morsels. Farmers all around Richmond are working extra hours during the present fortnight, in an effort to get the big birdB in good condition for an immediate settlement of the war with "Turkey." All the turkeys have been captured, and are no longer accorded the privilege of wandering wherever they wish. They are being kept close In pens, and are being fed as much as they will eat, bo as to be large and plump when called for. There is an abundance of all kinds of turkeys, and no trouble is anticipated in filling the demand. Grocers say that there will be no sudden increase in ; price Just before Thanksgiving. Few birds are on the market at present, as they will be held for fattening for at least a week yet. They are being sold alive at 14c a pound wholesale. The "trimmingH" for the gobbler are also plentiful this fall. Cranberries and celery will be on hand fo garnish the meat, as usual, and several other old style dishes will be popular. But. one obstacle confronts the housewife in completing her preparations "How can we have pumpkin pie with eggs ho high?"

REPRIEVE GRANTED HALIFAX, N. S., Nov. 15. Instead! of being executed in accordance with the original sentence imposed upon j

him, Harry Wilson, the boy murderer in jail at Digby, has been granted a reprieve of one month, with good prospects that he will escape the gallows altogether. Today the full bench convened in this city to take up his case, which has attracted wide attention throughout Eastern Canada. The

crime of which Wilson was convicted was the murder of his brother, George Wilson. The tragedy is alleged to have resulted from a quarrel when both the brothers were intoxicated.

Notifying the God. One of the odd things the visitor to Burma will notice is the large n amber of bells about the pagodas. These bells are usually hung on sacred posts a few feet above the ground. They are sweet toned, as all Burmese bells are. but they are not furnished with tongues. The worshiper who comes to pray before the pagoda strikes one of these bells with a wooden mallet This is to attract the attention of the god.

BRIDES IN WHITE.

It Was Mary Stuart Who Set the Fashion For That Color. The majority of brides choose white when selecting their wedding dress be cause it is the conventional color, and many persons are of the opinion that It always b.is been favored. As a matter of fact. It is of comparatively mod em origin, and In most eastern coun tries pink is the bridal color. During the middle ages and in the renaissance period brides wore crimson to the exclusion of all other colors Most of the Plantugenet and Tudor queens were married in that vivid hue, which is still popular in parts of Brit tany. where the bride Is usually dressed In crimson brocade. It was Mary Stuart who first changed the color of the bridal garments. At her marriage with Francis II. of France in 155S. which took place not before the altar, but before the great doors of Notre Dame, sho was gowned in white brocade, with a train of pale blue Persian velvet six yards in length This Innovation caused a great stir in the fashionable world of that time It was not, however, until quite the end of the seventeenth century that pure white the color worn by royal widows been me popular for bridal garments.

Flower Porfumes. A garden full of flowers Is more fra grant when shadowed by a cloud tlir.i when bathed in sunshine; at least thai Is tl'e conclusion to which experiment;of a French scientist lead. He assentthat it Is light and not, as commonly believed, oxygen that exerts the great est influence in desortylng odors. According to the same authority, the in tensity of the perfume given off by r. flower dofends upon the relation be twetm the pressure of water in th' rollH of Ihe plant, which lends to drive out the essential oils thnt cause Ihe odor, and the action of the sunlight, which tends to diminish water pres mire in the cells. Sprinkling the plant Increases the turgewence and as a consequence a more copious production of perfume. At night the air round a flower bei is h:mvy with odors, because then I heir emanation is not opposed by the sunlight. New Yo:k Tribune.

The Shapes of Eggs. There wis recently had before the Zoologies 1 society of Inndon a mathe matical discussion of the differences ir. the shape "f eggs. A few eggs, like those of the owl and the tortoise, arc upherioal, or nearly so; a few, like the Krone's or Ihe cormorant's, are ellip tlcnl, with symmetrlcnl ends; the gre:u majority. Ilk the hen's, are ovoid, o; blunter at one end than the other. Th hen's egg 1s always Inid blunt end fore most. Eggs that are the most unsym metrical are also eggs of lnrge size relatively to Ihe parent bird. The yolks of eggs are spherical, whatevci the form of the entire egg may le. This has leen Known to be due to their bMng inclosed In a fluid, the "white." which makes the pressure everywhere on the surface of the yolk practically coustant. Scientific American.

Jefferson and the Patent Office. The Grst patron of our patent system was Thomas Jefferson, who during three years gave his personal attention to every application for a patent He used to call the secretary of war and the attorney general to examine and scrutinize with him. nud they did it so thoroughly that in one year the first they granted only three patents. The very first patent of all was given to Samuel Hopkins in 1790 for pearl ashes. Mr. Jefferson held that the patent system was not one for creating revenue, but for encouraging a production of that which Is to be of benefit to the whole people. In the first twelve years a single clerk in the state department and a few pigeonholes were all that the business of the office required Then a Dr. Thornton took charge of it and devoted himself to it as a hobby.

The Coster Girl's Plumes. Ostrich plumes are as much of a necessity to the London coster girl on her outings ns are the pearl buttons to her masculine companion, and the big trimmed hats with their drooping feathers are familiar in all gatherings of this class. Many of the girls cannot afford to keep their money tied up in useless plumes, and there thrives a brisk Industry in the hiring of these feathers. The loan of a single plume for a day costs a quarter, or for a dol lar a gorgeous trio may be had for an outing, to be returned promptly the next morning. Weather conditions cause the terms to fluctuate somewhat, since a wet or foggy day will take the curl out of the feathers and make re curling necessary, for which " 'Arrief has to pay an extra quarter.

"Stint" and "Stunt." Stint is a good word as a noun. A a verb it means something not quite s pleasing. Do not confound it wit I stunt, however. A stunt is something quite useless. It Is the horseplay i the mountebank and has nothing in common with honest, productive labor A stint is the warning to the wise that nomethlng demands to be accomplished, a goad to the laggard that time is on the wing.

OLD MIRACLE PLAYS Performed In Town Squares With the Crudest Kind of Scenery. From the beginning of the pageant in the old mystery and miracle plays of the twelfth century to the elaborate and highly artistic productions or the twentieth is indeed a far cry. Noi only was the work of these early actors far below modern histrionic stand ards, but the stage setting, although the most complicated effects were attempted, was of the crudest. The mysteries were performed in the town squares on two story scaffoldings Saints and angels descended from above on very visible ropes. The flood and the Red sea were represented by a hole dug in the square and filled with water and so small that a row boat might only with difficulty turn around therein. Here sea voyages were made from Marseilles to Pales tine with one shove of the oar. These were the properties. Irrepressible me dieval imagination dW the rest. The mystery plays were dramatizations of the Bible performed by the different trade guilds of the town, each guild giving the part of the story established as its own by immemorial custom. The fishwives and prentices from all the country round throDged into York or Chester whenever a pageant was to be given. Royalty frequently graced the performances. From the Four Seas.
