PETS FOR CHRISTMAS.
THIS Is THE BUSY SEASON FOR DEALERS
IN SMALL ANIMALS.

This is our busy season." said dealer in
pet animals and IL keeps jumping TO fill our
orders for pets The worst part of our business
at this time of the year is that can't ship the
animals that have been sold. We have to keep
and feed them until Christmas time. and then
forward them to the person for whom they have
been purchased. There has always been a good
demand for parrots and other birds. and SPUR
rels have also been in fair demand for many
years. But of late there has been increased
demand for rabbits, guinea pigs and monkeys,
and We compelled to keep a large stock of
these hand
The guinea pigs are Of TWO kinds The Abys-
Snian variety. which is white in color. with hair
that grows in tufts and rOsettes, has pink eyes
and is sold now at s. 30 a pair. The Peruvian
variety has long. silky hair and. like its neigh
Dor from Africa, has pink eyes The price of
these little pets is 50 a pair The monkey
family is represented at the shop by the ring
tailed variety. In each Of the boxes in which
these pets kept there is bundle of soft
scraps of cloth. These the monkeys make into
beds and crawl into them when they wish to
rest. The price OF a good specimen is So

But make it up in CATS he said, and this
season more than ever before. We sell ordinary
cats at 81 apiece, but Angora cats bring SO
for the most common kind and from that price
up TO $50 The demand has become so great
that many dealers who formerly imported their
stock from France and from England raise
cats in this country They are not so valuable
as the imported stock, but some of them re-
semble their European cousins closely that il
takes an expert tell which is which.
The dealer. in speaking of the pecUliarities of
this pet, said that the AngOra cat must be treat
ed carefully and with consideration if the new
owner wished the animal to live in his house
contentedy and not NOPE and become hOmesick.
You know that it doesn't take much care
to keep the ordinary cat in new home said
the animal dealer. but it's different thing
with the aristocratic Angora. He must be kept
in one room for at least twenty-four hours
when he reaches his home. must be fed and
lot bothered with petting fondling. Then
after he has b, come acquainted with that room
and with one or two persons, he may be allowed
to go 10 other parts Of the house but care must
be taken that no frightens him. Until the
eat has been in the house at least a week he
should not be allowed to go outdoors, and
should never be forced to leave the house.

CHRISTHIS D4TNTIES.
OLD. FAMILIAR THINGS THAT COME
FROM THE FATHERLAND

The delicatessen stores in the German districts
OF the city busy at this time of year buy
ing. unpacking and arranging the holiday stock.
The owners OF these places have one advantage
over other merchants. because they know what
the holidays goods will be. and are not dependent
on the tickle fancy of the fashion maker. Things
that were Christmas goods last year will be
seasonable this year. and if the goods
not perishabe last years leftover stock could
be utilized. 1t takes the German many years
to become so thoroughly Amerioanize1 that he
does not want the regulation German Christmas
table luxuries, and these constitute the Christ
mas stock of the delicatessen dealer.
Among the meat products there are many
kinds of sausages. among which the most pop
ular are Braunschweiger Cervelatwurst, some
times called Schlackwurst Braunschweger
Truffelwurst. Observation-Disclosures and HOl-
steiner Bauernwurst. These sausages. which are

These Karlstader hams" said a dealer in
German table luxuries. should be better than
the ordinary article because of the treatment
they receive. Instead of being cured in salt
water they are prepared in sailed milk and
this gives them the delicious flavor that cannot
be impaired by other means"
Another popular delicacy is the Pommershv
Gausebrust (goosebreasD. This is the greatest
product OF the German smokehouse, said the
grocer and no matter how well the goose may
be fattened nor how carefully it may be smoked
in this country. it can never be made TO resemble
the real Pomeranian article"
There are many kinds of sweetmeats on the
list Of holiday goods. among which are apple and
pear butter. plum duff and apricot jam These
are advertised in the places where they are sold
under names like Manner Apfelkraut," "Suss
und-sauer- eingekochte Zwetschen,' Einse-
kochte Birnen." etc.
The bakers supply their customers with fancy
cakes for Christmas and New Years, but the
Christmas feast in many German families would
he incomplete without real, imported Honig-
kuchen (honey cake), Marcipan (almond cak4)
and Lebkuchen a spiced cake on the order OF
ginger snaps, but more pretentiOus in size and
general make up. These cakes are imported IN
fancy boxes in various sizes and forms The
Marcipan cakes are made in many forms. and
the almond mixture is used also to make Christ
mas tree decorations like those which are made
Of candy in this country.
