In the proportion Of one tablespoonful Of

That is peculiarly an American custom
and the row of stocking. in the chimney

Citations always distinctive of home and
childhood. Even. at the White House last
year the stockings took precedence of the
tree, which did not come until afternoon
ana then not at the presidential mansion.
While most parents prefer to fill the real

Favors and decorations for the holidays
snow a wide assortment of dainty conceits.
For the dinner cards there are holly leaves

STEERS, hams, foot balls, ping pong balls,
miniature sleighs and wagons, trunks, bags

The menu for Christmas dinner may
be selected with the greatest care but 1t
depends upon the cook whether the result
will be a feast fit for the gods or a gas
tronomic failure. Much attention should be
paid to the kind Of Christmas turkey pur-
chased, young hen being best. Be sure
that 1t has smooth, black legs and white
skin. If we'll seasoned, basted and cooked
to a crisp brown it is delicious. In boiling
the rockfish one tablespoonful of vinegar
to two quarts Of water will make the meat
firm and white.
A good plum pudding to be eaten with ice
cream is made as follows: One pound
stoned raisins, one pound currants, half
pound citron cut in fine slips, one pound
suet cut fine, eight eggs, half pound
nutmeg, four tablespoonful flour. Beat the
eggs very light add one pound of brown
sugar, then the other ingredients by the
spoonful. When well mixed and the pud-
ding bag has been washed in hot water and
Toured, pour in and tie tightly. Space
water boils dip the pudding in three or
four times before leaving 1t in the pot.
This quantity makes a large pudding re-
quiring six hours to cook perfectly.

Won by Second Regiment.

The rifle competition between a team rep
resenting the list Regiment and one from
the ID Regiment, shot last Monday evening
as a preliminary contest to the regular
series of gallery matches that will begin
next month, resulted in a victory for the
I'd Regiment, its total being GAS, while that
of the LIST Regiment was 597. The scores
were not as high as were expected. Each
team consisted of sixteen men. and each
man fired ten shots at 200 yards. The re-
suits follow:

would be willing to come to Washington or
arrange a match with the Washington
team in New York. II the empire state men
were properly approached.
The revolver shots of the local pistol
club are well acquainted with the New
Workers, having met many of them during
the rifle matches at Sea Girt, and it is be-
lieved that series of inter-city matches
with beneficial results to the members of
both teams.
Expect Challenge From Baltimore.
The District National Guardsmen are ex-
pecting a challenge for pistol competition
from the cavalrymen Of the Maryland Ma
tional Guard who have their headquarters
in Baltimore. Each team will shoot in its
home city under agreed conditions, and the
respective scores will be forwarded to one
another by mall
Speaking of the Raltimoreans. the recent
announcement that Maryland Is to provide
an outdoor range for its National Guards
men is of interest locally. The range is to
be a model in every respect, with targets
at all distances up to and including 1000
yards 1t Is likely that a site on Chesa-
peake bay will be secured, the range to be
laid off so that the bullets will fall into the
bay.
The board of army officers engaged in re-
vising the small arms firing regulations of
the army visited the Ordway range again
this afternoon. The board Is proceeding
very slowly, in order to carefully test its
theories.

Stones for Bread.

From the Lcndop Grocery.
According to the Brit sh vice consul at

terated by the addition Of small stones ana
gravel, and this is especially the case with
wheat as It's color and shape. he says, are
easily matched. The mixture does not
sound appetizing. and in view Of the tact
that we last year received S46,1 tons Of
wheat from Nicolaieff. the British consumer
