Gently connected with the Japanese
war department., who is travelling
around the world, after expressing
sympathy for England. said Japan
ould send 80. 900 to 10000 troops to
her aid if she would accept them. lie
added:
"All Japan asks of Great Britain as
an ally in war against Russia is to
employ part of her fleet in assisting
the Japanese fleet to protect the ports
of Japan against the fleets of Russia
and France. and thus enable Japan's
entire mi I.tary strength to be used for
the recovery of Port Arthur, the occr-
patton of Manrhuri;. and the over
throw Of RusSia's power in Oh MI. But
the first thing to be done is to free the
hands of Great Britain in Africa to
take up her work in India"

AN IMPOSING RITUAL
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION AMONG
THE FRENCH CANADIANS.

Where the Day LIS More of q Holy Day
Than a Holiday and Where Gifts to the
Little Folk Are Not Credited to Santa
Claus.
Jean Baptiste Leblanc of lower Cana
da has this advantage over his cousins
in the rest of the Dominion, that his
Christmas celebrations are not confined
10 one day, but are divided between
that great holiday and New Years
Then again he has the further advan-
tage Of an early start, for while the Eng
lish folk are still sleeping snugly in
their warm beds be is out attending
mass at church or cathedral. Indeed it
may be said with truth that Christmas
among the French Canadians is more Of
holy day than holiday, as it consti-
tutes one of the four great church festi-
walls of the year.
The celebration Of the day begins at
midnight On Christmas eve, when, sum-
mOned by the chimes Of the bells, all
good Catholics who can manage it
crowd to the sacred edifces, which are
appropriately adorned for the occasion,
and there take part in an elaborate serv-
ice lasting nearly tw hours. The splen-
dor of this service, of course, varies &C
cording to the equipment and facilities
of the establishment, being compara-
lively simple in the remote country
churches, while in the large edifces it
becomes a superb religious function.
The midnight mass in Notre Dame
church Or St. James cathedral, Mont
real, celebrated as it is before congre-
cations of many thousand people, is
perhaps the most imposing and awe in
spring religious ritual to be witnessed
upon this continent. The musical fea-
lures Of these services always receive
careful attention, with the result that
the whole proceeding is made so inter-
esting as to attract large numbers of
Protestants who are willing to forego
the comforts of sleep in order that they
Fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1887-19??, 1900-06-22

laughter hasten indoor to enjoy the
bountiful supper which is the reward of
their piety and at which by immemorial
custom doUghnuts and potted head form
the pieces de resistance. These family
gatherings are perhaps the cheeriest of
all the year. The strangeness Of the
hour, the sense of satisfaction at having
done their duty as good Catholics, the
inspiration, no doubt, gathered from
the service they have just attended and
the fact that the day already broken in.
to is to be given up to pieasuring to the
full extent of their ability, all these in
fuences not only combine to put every
body into the best of humor, but to pro-
duce an exultation of spirits that drives
all care and worry into temporary obliv-
ion.
For those who are very piously dis
posed this midnight mass by no means
completes the religious programme of
the day, for if they SO choose they may
again attend high mass at 10 o'clock,
vespers at o'clock and benediction at
o'clock, thus practically spending the
day in the church.
Not many, however, are so devout as
all this, and the majority Of the men
go in for good time, according to their
taste, whether it be to gather at the
tavern and play cards and checkers, or
to regale one another with we'll worn
stories garnished with tobacco and eau
de vie, Or to engage in horse racing,
shooting matches and similar sports.
AS I have already stated, Jean Bap-
tiste divides his Christmas. By this I
mean that two important features Of
the festival as celebrated by English
people Oh the 25th day Of December are
reserved by the French for the 1st day
of January-namely, the giving of pres
ents and indulgence in especially good
fare.
With regard to the giving Of pres
ents, in which the French take just as
much delight as the English, it is in
teresting to note that these etrennes, as
they are called, are by the little folk
credited not to Santa Claus, but to le
petit Jesu and are perhaps all the more
enjoyed on that account.
AS to the culinary characteristics Of
the day, my readers may perhaps be in
terested in list of dishes, some or all
of which may be found upon every
French Canadian dinner table ON this
occasion. They are: Pain dore (toast
with egg, pate aux patates (potato
pie), poulet sauce blanche Chicken with
white sauce), tourtieres (meat pie),
graisse de roti (fresh pork grease), CO.
chon au lait Sucking pig, paleron
(roast of fresh professionalism and tarte
aux snelles (pie made of haws).

The Boar's Head.

Aside from its religious observance
and signitcation Christmas has always
been time of feasting and jollifcation.
This temperament has descended to US
from the days Of the old Germanic and
Scandinavian nations, when the time
was set aside for rejoicing and pleasure
prior to the Christian era, but even as
late as the seventeenth century in Eng
land and throughout continental Europe
the delights Of the table were para
mount. With our forefathers sOused
boar's head was borne to the principal
table in the hall with great state and
solemnity as the first dish on Christmas
day. In the book of "Christmasse Car
olles," printed by Wynkyn de Worde
in 1921, are the words sung at this aus
picious moment:
The bore's head in hande bring
With garlandes gay and rosemary.

Qui estls in convivio.
