SAVE AkERS CHURCH
Only Relic of the Middle Ages In Chris
tiania. 49,.

Akers church in Christiania, "a. relic Of
the middle ages and the days Of St. Olaf.
Is showing some dangerous cracks in the
walls and steps must be taken to save
the venerable structure. Just how old the
church is no one knows but it appears in
history as the church for Vingulmark in
1850. 1t was rescued from destruction
fifty years ago when Akers, communal
board decided to raze the building on ac-
count Of it's dangerous condition. There
was a. general cutlery in Christiania
against the plan and the commune bought
the sacred building for $4,000 kr.. one half
of which was contributed by private per-
sons. The church was restored and has
since been in use. 1t is the only relic OF
the middle ages which has been preserved
in Christiania. "a

NEW YEARS THE BALKANS
guperstitfOns of the :ulgarinns and
the Albanian HiEhIandcrs.

superstitiOns of the t:ulGarinnS and
the Albanian HiGhIanders.
Among the Bulgarans the long con-
nection of the bulgarian with the
Greek church has naturally led to the
assimilation of many of its supersti-
tious beliefs and customs, and their
festivals show curious fusion of old
heather rites with superstitious Chris
tian ObservanceS.
The year opens during the feast of
the winter solsticc, called by the Bull
garians "Kulada.' Like the Hallow-
cen of Scotland. it is a great time
among the girls for all kinds of divina-
tory rites respecting their future
spouscs. and to every line or verse of
songs sung during this festive period
is added the refrain of Hey Kulada,
moy Kulada."
The Jim. or demons, are at this sea-
son supposed to be especially alert and
powerful against mankind, and the
Bulgarians, like the inhabitants of Asia
Minor during the similar observance of
the Fishoti, consider it necessary to
take every precaution against their
malevolence. A log of wood is left in
every cart and water in every pitcher
in order to prevent any demon taking
possession of them and by his presence
rendering them too heavy to lift or
draw.
The Albanians are careful at this sea
son not to leave any article of wearing
apparel out of doors after niShtfail,
should be so left it is washed before
being used in order to get rid of any
spell cast upon it by the supernals.
Fire ceremonies play a great part in
the Christmas and New Years observ-
ances of the Albanian highlanders. On
the eve of ST. Basil, Jan. l, the fire is
kept burning all night, and the half.
burned cherry branches rescued from
the Christmas fire are again thrown
on and withdrawn to be wholly con
sumed on the eve of the Epiphany,
when the ashes are collected and
strewn in the vineyard In the morn

children in "unspoken over water and
draw Omens from the character grave
or gay, of the person who first enters
the house. a cock is also sacrificed, for
it is suspicious to spill blood in the
house on ST. Basirs day.-New York

NEW YEARS CAKES.
Timely Hints For the Caterers Who
Provide Good Cheer.


The regular New Years cookies of
Dutch days, which are displayed say.

fruit, have different ingredients from
the loaves of cake which every house
wife used to make for New Years day.
1t was the custom for a providcnt
housekeeper TO prepare fruit. pound.
silver or delicate cake and sometimes
a loaf of golden sponge. Every one
was rich. requiring an abundance OF
eggs at a season when eggs were more
expensive and difficult to obtain than
at any other time Of the year.
The Christmas fruit cake served at
New Years was always made at least
a month before 1t was needed, a sutli-
cient supply to last all winter being
prepared in the fall.
Pound cake is as rich as fruit cake,
but as there is no fruit in it less but
ter must be used in proportion to the
sugar than in fruit cake. The pound
cake of today is made differently from
the old time rule. No one now makes
pound for pound"
A New Years pound cake should be
deliberately decorated with ornamental
icing and candied fruits. First, cover
the cake carefully with two coats of
Icing. and ornament it in any way
preferred with confectiOnerS' white
icing. using tubes for the purpose.
After this decorate each loaf with can
died fruit to give color. Select for each
three ounces of canded cherries. two
ounces of candied angelica and two
ounces each of candied red and white
pears. A white pear is usually placed
with the stem up in the center of the
cake in place left for it. and the rest
of the white and the red pears are
each cut in six slices, the angelica in
lozenge shaped pieces and the cherries
In halves. These fruits are arranged
on the icing in any fanciful way.-New

never fail TO make the most of it.
Invitations are sent out over the

one accustomed to spending ten or
twelve hours day in the saddle is
mere nothing.
Besides. this is the one opportunity
of the year TO spend money laviShIy
for the sake of Il good time. An extra
cook or two are hired and supplies
enough laid in to feed a small army.
1t is the privilege of every cowboy
on the place to make out a list of the
eatablcS that he feels that his conSti-
tuition demands. and several days be-
forehand the great wagon is hitched
up and Il trip taken to the nearest
town TO get provisions.
As for the fandango, the preparations
are few and simple Beds and other
space consuming pieces of furniture are
removed from the rooms intended for
the dance.
