Gou! aseh is the national dish of Hun
gary and consists of meat cut into small
pieces and cooked with onions, toma-
toes and the powerful paprika, species
of pepper peculiar to the country. This
dish is naturally the most attractive in
the Christmas dinner, and with it are
fried cabbage, fish soup, farina cakes
and cakes made from the poppy seeds.
Dividing the honors with the goulasch
there will be found upon the table a
roast pig invariably decorated with
roses between its teeth. This meal is
eaten as an evening dinner before mid
night mass, and when the worshipers
return from their church after midnight
the table is set with cold pork, bonbons
and corn brandy as drink Exchange.

SWISS CHRISTMAS DINNER.

Geneva Fritters the National Dish.
In this beautiful country, where the
laws and the customs vary in every can
ton, the mistress of the kitchen has a
wide variety of German, Italian and
French cooking to select from. But on
Christmas day, although all these styles
may be united on one table, there is an
invariable although unwritten law that
roast goose shall bo the chief dish. The

thing from little cocoanut cakes to elab.

But betN cen The opening goose and

really national Christmas dish called
the Geneva fritters. These fritters are
made after the following recipe:
Put int II saucepan dozen pears cut
into quarters and the cores taken out,
with enough water to cover them. Let
then stew till they are quite tender,
when the water will have evaporated.
Put them into colander and crush
them with wooden spoon. Add half
their weight of sugar, little lemon
and pinch Of powdered cinnamon.
Put the saucepan on the fire for eight
or ten minutes and then let it cool.

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
The A',or Were Not Forgotten In the Day.
of Long Ago.

The ELor Were Not Forgotten In the Days
of Long Ago.
Thale is an ancient custom for the
rector of Piddle Hinton, in Dorsetshire,
to give away on old Christmas day, the
9th of January, annually, pound of
bread, pint of ale and mince pie to
every poor person in the parish, and this
distribution is regularly made by the
rector to upward of 800 poor persons.
At Stafford there is an old charity for
providing poor people with plums for
their Christmas buildings, and a kind
hearted man at Burnham left a sum
sufficient to provide the inmates of the
poorhouse of the parish with Christ
mas dinner, followed by proper supply
of ale, tobacco and snuff.
At Prince Risborough, in Bucking-
hamshire, there was very singular
Christmas usage. Up to about 1913 a
bull, a boar, a sack of wheat and sack
of malt were given away to the poor by
the lord of the manor at about o'clock
every Christmas morning. This practice
was then discontinued, and for about
five or six years beef and mutton were
distributed in place Of the above articles.
Mr.. Grubb-fit name for the dispenser
of what Rittmaster Dugald Dalgetty
would call "the provend''- the par
sonage house, the then lord of the man.
or, whose father first stopped the above
customary distribution, produced to the
commissioners of charities a case which
his father had laid before justice, rel
ative to this custom, with view of OBJ
tanning the opinion Of counsel as to
whether it could be sustained as a Gus.
tom at common law, and whether he
should be subject to legal process if he
omitted to make the distribution.
1t appears from the document that
the custom had then prevailed for q
considerable number Of years; that it
was mentioned in the local histories,
but that its origin was lost in obscurity.
The practice, while it lasted, seems to
have been productive Of much intoxica-
ton and riot. The poor are said to have
paraded the town during the whole
night preceding the distribution with
an incessant Clamor, etfectually Danish
ing all reposo. On the following morn
ing they marched i'll crowds to Mr..
Grubb's house, and these assemblies Of
ten comprised many strangers as well as
parishioners. On the doors being opened
they all rushed to the feast prepared for
them with SO little decorum and for
bearance that often in their zeal for
priority they inflicted wounds on one
another with their Knives. The whole
remaining portion Of Christmas day, it
is stated, was spent by many Of them in
the public houses The justice before
whom the matter was heard was Of the
opinion that this custom was not sus.
tainable as a common law right and
the charity comm issioners reported that
they had received 10 sufficient evidence
that the custom could be considered as
a charitable donation the continuance
of which could be enforced. Selected
