Sing Masters Praises.

THE large landowner works il
through his peasants. The peasants
own certain strips OF land. The
wages paid them are not large, but
they grow upon the bits of land

their cattle On Fridays they are
permitted to pick up the dead
branches of the trees IN the forests
of the landowners. In the past
pretty annual custom obtained,
which went 10 show the friendly re-
lations existing between the peasant
and the noble. 1t was a species of
what would be called a Harvest
Home in England. When the har-
vest was gathered in, the people used
to assemble ana make presents of
little rustic ornaments 10 the land
owners. Their habit was on these
occasions, while partaking of the
hospitality of their chiefs, TO sing
their masters praises. Frequently
they took occasion TO enhance the
virtues of their own chief by de-
preeiating and abusing those OF their
neighbors. These gatherings were
exceedingly picturesque. The bril-
liant red or yellow flowers in the
shawls of the women pleased the
eye. Altogether l know of nothing
so picturesque as a Polish Harvest
Home. This pleasant custom will
now doubtless disappear forever

their rough hause. They advised the
