Women LIN Command.

In several villages of Finland the
woman has authority. for religious
sect exists there whose disciples are
forced to marry and to take VOW to
submit to the wife in all things. The
women choose one of their number for
governing head. whose duty it is to see
that the men behave themselves and to
punish them If they transgress. Sim
liar are the "Purificants" Of Liberia,
who also recognize the supremacy of
women. 81 rs

Odd Ideas.

Some Of the Virginia applicants for
registration as voters give queer an
swers to the questions asked them.
One negro thought the general assem-
bly, was you three gentlemen sitting
there" with a bow TO the registrars.
Another thought it was "a place In
the woods where they went to worship
the Lord" A third negro was asked
to explain the freedom of the press.
"When you get in a crowd, shove as
much as you please" he replied.

The Christmas Dinner.

Christmas dinner seems to be one Of
the fixed considerations of life, but in
many homes it has ceased to be such
a. matter of grave Importance as for
merly, although it is still given with
utter disregard to all dietic rules in
most households, and it is a brave re-
former, indeed, who will suggest any
very radical change in the menu of u
good old ia shiOned Christmas dinner.
When we look over the list of dishes
which We're considered necessary for
the Yule-tide feasts of merry old Eng
land of long ago, we marvel how they
did it. Think Of serving up
Salmon, venison and wild boars.
BY hundreds, dozens. and by scores.
Hogsheads of honey, kilderkns of mus
tard.
Plum -puddings, pancakes, apple pies and
custards.' etc.

The Christmas Dishes.

In merry old England, famous as a
Christmas-keeping country, the boar's
head has been replaced by roast beef.

turkey is wining its way to the high
place ON the banquet board. In New
England the roast goose has relegated
to the past the former piece de resist

pie have always been considered pre-
eminently American. although the lat

honored plum-pudding. Both these
creations are supposed to be emblemat-

Christmas baked meats and goodies.
scallop Salad.
Prepare the scallops for salad by

and when cool cut into small pieces,
and mix with a French or mayonnaise
dressing. When ready to serve, drain
again and mix with 1t an equal guam
tity of celery, cover this with either
or French dressing; place
in a salad dish which has been lined
with crisp green lettuce leaves, form
into mold shape and cover thickly with
mayonnaise dressing; form designs on
the outside of the mound with chopped
