He was fine looking fellow. In his
hands he carried three large bodied, though
none too plump, turkeys, and the big cal

inkling of how he came by his burden.
Turkeys enough here to last week,
he soliloquized as he swayed to and fro on

an idea seemed to strike the young fellow
and he called the man back.

The Russian Christmas is ten days later
than the English one, but is celebrated
very much in English fashion. Families
all meet upon that day and country house
parties are many. The tree is a Christmas
yew and is beautifully decorated. The
gifts are placed on small tables near the
tree. The churches are decorated with
greens and SO are the houses, but no mis-
tletoe is used. Two or three days are pub
lie holidays at Christmas time, and the
people greet each other with, Happy feast
to you A huge pyramid of rice with
raisins in it, which has been blessed at the
church, is served at the Christmas dinner,
and the meats are goose, duck and sucking
pig A great delicacy at Russian Christ
