% BY F. A. ober.oo

1t may ormaynot be generally known,
but the first Christmas celebration in
America took place in the West Indies :
and in the very year that America was
discovered. There was not much fes-
tivity about it, to be sure, for the first
anniversary of the Nativity in the new
world found the participants in q
state of mind not conducive to merry
making or cheerful entertainment.
The great navigator, Christopher Co
lunbus, who showed. the civilized
world b way across the Atlantic, was
master of ceremonies, and he had lit
tie reason for rejoicing, for on Christ
mas eve, 1892, he had lost his flag
ship. the Santa Maria. which had run :
on a reef on the north coast OF Haiti.
Fortunately for him and his crew., the
native Indians of the island were
friendly. and they not only came to his
rescue, but saved all the wreckage Of
his vessel. which they piled up on the
beach at Guarico, near the present city
OF Cape Haitian. The Indian cacique
did all he could to allay the grief of the !
Spaniards and on Christmas day.
spread a banquet to which they were
invited and at which many Of his peo-

This was the first Christmas dinner
In America, and at this aboriginal
spread" so many new and strange ar
ticles of food were offered the Span
iards that Columbus made a note Of
them. so we are enabled to state exact
~ what they were. In the first place,
there was maize, or Indian corn, which
the Europeans may have seen in the
Bahamas, but which they had not eat
en- before. In fact, the golden kernels
carried back to Spain by Columbus
from this first voyage to America were
the first that ever reached the old
world, and. it was many years after
that before brown bread and "Injun
pudding became at all common on the
tables of European royalty.
One of the curious tubers offered the
Spaniards that day by the Indian chief
tain in Haiti was the manioc, or cas-
sava, from which the aborigines made
their daily bread. They were the orig
inators also of the cassareep. or West
Indian pepper pot, made by throwing
pieces of meat of all kinds into an
