HOW NATIONS DINE CHRISTMAS
Favorite Dishes for Yuletide Dinner in
Different Countries.

While all the nations of Christen.

beef and plum pudding. although OF
late years turkey or goose has TO a
great extent displaced the sirloin.
France feeds more daintily, chicken

ed by liver pudding rich with trufiies

ter in a running stream. Time'e
great clock never loses. Relent'
lessIy, surely the moments pass,
and our eager hands are not
able to detain them. We can
not keep back the flying years,
but we can and should keep
the blessings they bring. Hold

taught. Keep the memory of

latter glanced out of the window and
remarked, I'VE have little sun to-

ceive the freshman's congratulations
coupled with the hope that Mrs. War
rem was doing well. Another Or

side of that cigar store on the Champs
de Mars. I'll bring some down with
me-also your truant watch, for you've
acted confoundedly queer all the af.
ternoon-just like a mariner without
his compass, by Jove!" with which
remark he runs off up the steps of
the house, while Dick leans against
a post and waits for him, smiling at
the allusion to his uneasiness, and
wondering whether ii was the alb
sence of his watch of something else,
that has made him feel like a ship
minus rudder.
He stands there for just five min
utes, and then hears sounds that cause
him TO turn. What meets his vision
amaZes Dick-a trim figure of a man
mas recently left his side. and here
comes demoralized specimen flying
down the stairs, waving his hand
wildly above his head, and presenting
something of the appearance Dick has
seen when this same New Mexican
sheriff was charging the camp of a
dozen border desperadoes, whom he
had on his list as characters to arrest.
Something has evidently gone
wrong, or Colonel Bob would not be
making such a spectacle of himself.
Dick conceives a sudden show of in
terest-in the short interval that re-
mains to him ere his companion ar
rives he tries to realize what it may
mean, and gives several wild guesses
before Bob reaches his side.
The New Mexican sheriff arrives
painting like a tired hound-he can
only with an effort catch his breath,
and then blurts out his news in his
usual jerky fashion.
They're gone!-the villain has won
at last!-cooped up in a mad-house!
What dye think of that? and we
promenading and feasting all the
while! Only for the adorable Dora,
even now we would be ignorant of
their fate!'
