FEEDING THE BIRDS.
A Happy Christmas Custom Among
Swedish Peasants.

Christmas is celebrated in Sweden
to an extent unknown in our country,
and the celebration is not over until
January 10, or twentieth day Yule."
A very pretty feature of the festivi-
ties is thus described by a writer who
has visited that country: One w.ntry
afternoon. at Jultide, as the season is
called, | had been skating on a pretty
lake three miles from ~Gothenberg. On
my way home | noticed that at every
farmers house there was erected, in
the middle of the yard, a pole, to the
top of which was bound a large, full
sheath of grain.
why is this?" I asked my com.
rade.
"Oh, that's for the birds, the little
wild birds. They must have a merry
Christmas, too, you know"
And so it is; not a peasant in Swed-
en- will sit down to a Christmas dinner
within doors until he has first raised
aloft a Christmas dinner for the birds
in the cold and snow without.-Pitts.
