SWISS CHRISTMAS DINNER.

Roast Goose Occupies the Place of Honor,
 Geneva Eritters the National Dish.
 In this beautiful country, where tho laws and the customs vary in every ean- ton, the mistress of the kitchen has Q 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 iDvariable although unwritten law that roast goose shall be the chief dish The dessert is q marvellous mixture of Swiss oonfectioneries, comprehending every thing from little cocoanut cakes to elab crate structures of flour and sugar inter spersed with all sorts of nuts and smafi fruits
 But between the opening goose and the closing patisserie Is introduced the really national Christmas dish called tho Geneva fritters. These fritters are made after the following recipe:
 Put Into saucepan dozen pears cut into quarters and the cores taken out with enough water to cover them. Let them 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 1t cool Take two handfuls of raisins, seed them and put them on the fire with enough water to soften them, then add them to the above, with q little glass of rum or kirsch.
 Take thin flour paste for a dozen pears of moderate size and make them into roll about the circumference of dollar, cover half tho surface of the paste with marmalade and cut the frit- ters into convenient sizes. Serve with the yolks of eggs. after cooking them before hot fire and powdering them with sugar. New York World

 Ike Made 4,ooo Miles n Ono a1ontb. Also 140 Centuries. of Which s2 Were Doo- ble ocnturies-Ho Followed the Good Weather.
 The years bicycle mileage record medal will no doubt be awarded to E. N. Roth of the Clarendon Wheelmon of Chicago, who on New Year eve, in driving rainstorn, completed one of tho greatest year rides of history-a ride that will stand unchallenged for many years to come
 Roth rode 84, 88O milos in 340 days. an average of over 10l miles each day for the entire time He travelled over dozen states in making this rido and followed tho good weather throughout the country.
 He started Jan 95 and finished Dec 8l at midnight In this time he rode i46 centuries all told, of which number 32 were double, or 900 miles, and one triple century, 300 miles in 22 hours
 His greatest months mileage was 4,00o miles and over. He did not know today the exact distance.
 His claima to the Century Road club cali for the following
 The individual mileage modal of America
 The Illinois state mileaga medal
 The oentury record of several states.
 Tho 900 mile record of l4 hours and 85 minutes.
 The 300 milo record of g hours flat
 Tho s4 hour record of 300 miles, with many others
 The claims hevo to Dc sent on by ex, press, owing to thoir volume
 Roth has ridden one wheel the entire season, with but one lccident--a broken rim. He has ridden bpt two sets of tires, wearing one out on railroad tracks He had eiie Ifsaaesnre iaat bafore he reached the 10, 000milemarl, for which mark ho was striving without punotur ing.
 His wheel weighed s5 pounds tha tires weighing five pounds lie uses neither tobacco nor liquors and gained ton pounds ii tiis scsssci

NEED FOR SLEEP.
The Most Important Compensation Fa
 All Effects of Fatigue.


 The Most Important Compensation Fo,
 All Effects of Fatigue.
 By far the most important compensa. tion for all effects of fatigue is sleep. Everybody, even the man mentally most inert, develops when awake q mass oi mental effort which he cannot afford continuously without suffering. Ws need, therefore, regularly recurring DO. riods in which the consumption of men tai force shall be slower than the con. tinuous replacement The lower the de. gree to which the activity of tho brain sinks the more rapid and moro com plete the recovery.
 The mental vigor of most men is usu- ally maintained at a certain height for tho longest time in the forenoon. Evi, dence of fatigue come on later at this time of day than in the evening, when the store of force in our brain has been already considerably drawn upon by the whole day. work If no recovery by sleep is enjoyed or it is imperfect, the consequences will invariably make themselves evident the next day in Q depression of mental vigor, as we'll az ill arise i'll the personal susceptibility to fatigue. The rapidity with which one of the persons I experimented upon could perform his task in addition sank about third after nights journey by rail. way with insufficient sleep. Anothef experimenter could detect the effects of keeping himself awake at night ill a gradual decrease of vigor lasting through four days. This observation was all the more surprising because the subject waa not conscious of the long duration of the disturbance and was first made aware of it incidentally by the results of contin- ued measurements on the causes of tho manifestations of fatigue. --Popular Sci once Monthly

CHRISTMAS GIVING
The Poor Were Not Forgotten Tn the Day
 of Long Ago.

l
 The Poor Were Not Forgotten Tn the Days
 of Long Ago.
 There is an ancient custom for the rector of Fiddle Hinton. ill Dorsetshire, to give away on old Christmas day, the 9th of January. annually, pound of bread, pint of ale and minee pie to every poor person in the parish, and this distribution is regularly made by tho rector to upward of 300 poor persons. At Stafford there is an old charity for providing poor people with plums for their Christmas buildings, esd kind hearted man at Burnham left a sum sufficient to provide the inmates of the poorhouse of the parish with Christi mas dinner, followed by q proper supply of ale, tobacco and snuff.
 At Prince Risborough, in Bucking- hamshire, there was very singular Christmas usage. Up to about 1913 Q bull, d boar, a sack of wheat and a 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 i'll place of the above articles MT. Grubb-fit name for the dispenser of what Rittmaster Dugald Dalgetty would call "the proyend "--of the par sonage house. the then lord of the man. or, whose father first stopped the above customary distribution, produced to tho commissioners of charities a ease which his father had laid hefolo justiee, rel. ative to this custom, with viow of ob. taining the opinion of counsel as to whether 1t could be sustained as GUS tom at common law, and whether he should be subject to legal process if he omitted to make the distribution.
 It appears from the document that the custom had then prevailed for considerable number of years; that it was mentioned in the local bist0ries, but that its origin was lost in obseurity. The practice, while it lasted, seems to have been productive of much intoxiea- tion and riot. The poor arc said to have paraded the town during tho whole night preceding the distribution with an incessant elamor, effectually banish- ing all repose On the following morn ing they marched in crowds to MT. Grubb's house, and these assemblies of ten comprised many strangers as we'll as parishioners. On the doors being opened they all rushed to tho feast prepared for them with so little decornm and for bearanee that often i'll their zeal for priority they inflicted wounds on ono 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 common law right, and the charity commissioners reported that they had received no sufficient evidence that the custom could be considered as a charitable donation the continuance of which could be enforced.

A Bold Thief.

The boldest and most audaeious thelt that was ever committed in a small way, occurred at the GRAPHIC office yesterday afternoon, when q negro by the name of Jim Daley stole an oyercoat belonging to Jim mic Clayton. one If onr carrier boys. It was after o',l5,ck in the after noon and lhe carriers were waiting for tInir papers. Jimmie Clayton ha.l ,......e in late and walked into the paper and mailing room in the rear of the building, and left his overcoat and satchel on a big bun dle of papers. Then all the boys, while waiting for the GRAPHIC to go to press, engaged in play. In the meantime Jim Daley, negro, walk : ed in from the alley and then in the paper room, picked up the overeoat, and instead of escaping by way of the alley, boldly walked through the lower part of the building, occupied by the Adams Wilson Printing Co., and made his exit by way of the front door. As he passed through the building he spoke to every em- ployee in the office. The overcoat was not missed until the caI rier had gotten his papers and was ready to leave. He first suspected that some of his comrades had played a joke ,on him and secreted his coat, but a careful inquiry proved this therory incorrect. Then directly someone rememb bere q that negro had passed through the office with package under his arm. Upon inquiry among the employees, no one knew the negro but all had spoken to him. Direc'iy ,one of them said: ssCome to think of ii. the negro had coat under his arm.r. This information was al once telephoned to police headquaf- ters. and as Constable Culpepper started up Barraqne street he met the negro with the coat under his arm and promptly placed him under arrest. The carrier identified his coat, and the negro was placed In the calaboose. where he spent the night.

Each line of the following sonnet con tains in regular arrangement one of tho letters in the name of famous Ameri. can. The letters follow one another in mathematical succession. See if you can pick them out and find the mana name:
 man who was in peace and war chief Above the pettiness of party strife, brawny. kindly one of simple life. brave and noble soul who gained relief For thousands of his fellow men in grief And slavery, and who when war was rife Called mighty troops that marched by drum
 and fife
 To free black slaves. His public life was brief But great in deed and word and gentleness. A statesman born near the Ohio's shore,
 Of humble ancestry, who worked his way By strictly honest means to great success. His name you all doubtless have heard before, But thesa tow lines may show you it today.
