But with all the mysticism and ultra senti-
mental ways of regarding Christmas the Ger
man never forgets it is eminently season OF
good cheer Pork in every form and beer
usually take the place of roast beef turkey,
and stronger drinks. Then they also have the
boar's head with lemon impaled between its
grinning tusks. OF course this delicacy dates
back to Wotan's day. Tradition says Wotan
was fond of the boar's head, but it is not easy
to see where the lemon comes in, as the god
was certainly not familiar with this tart fruit.
In Brandenburg and the Uckermark any pigs
head will do (the stock of boar's heads would
not hold out), and round this animals head
are furnishings of sausage and green cab

Silesia is a province which has especially
earned a reputation for succulent dishes. Some
of the most renowned of German gastronomi-
cal authorities have lent additional luster to
the place by being born there. At Christmas
time the dish most in request among the Sile
slams is a smoked pigs head with baked fruit
the whole dish. This dainty rejoices in the
name of Himmesreich (the kingdom of
heaven.
In North Germany the pigs head is not as
prominent as in the south. Here there is more
miscellaneous Christmas eating. hearty enough
but altogether in variance with American
tastes. Cakes of all sizes and shapes are also
baked and eaten, and some of these have a
toughness of gutta-percha and a hardness Of
granite. These cakes take the form of Knecht

Christmas delicacy which only the initiated
can truly appreciate, this is boiled snet dump
lings and behring's. One cannot be blamed for
asking why this mixture? Was the herring
also favored by Wotan2
The herring as a Christmas dainty. is also
favored throughout Saxony, but there takes
the form of salad, and is eaten with smoked
pork, and a delicate kind of sauerkraut in
which caraway seeds are prominent. The
Saxony peasants Christmas table is invariably
decked with these dishes on Christmas eve
and remains thus spread out during the night
His idea in doing this is that angels possibly
weary of nectar and ambrosia may condescend

A Christmas Decoration.

When the children have tired of even their
new possessions land how soon the new be
comes ODD and it is too early for the sandman
to pay his nightly visit, try this simple amuse-
ment: Suspend a wreath of holly or ever
green from doorway and give to each child
an equal quantity of nuts, paper-wrapped can
dies or favors that will stand handling. then
see who can throw the most articles through
the wreath into basket placed to catch them
Give simple reward to add zest to the game.
In the same manner the game of "twos" is
conducted. Take large napkin or piece of
stout paper. Place a lot of nuts or hard can
dies in the center. Let child take hold of
each corner and give three vigorous losses,
singing:
Goodies, goodies, dance, my Christmas goodies
Up they go, down they go; dance, my Christ
mas goodies"
Then there will be lively scrimmage to see
who can recover the most.
These little devices will make jolly ending
to the happiest day in the year for the chill
dren- Put them to bed with pretty songs ring
ing in their ears.

groves of forest oaks In nearly every district
of the fatherland there still remains the quaint
est and queerest of Christmas customs, whose
origin is lost in the hoariest antiquity. They
have all in the process of time assumed
Christian character more or less burlesqued,
but the folklorists will tell you that they date
from the days of Wotan and Freya.
The peasants of Silesia. the woodmen of the
Black Forest, and the hillsmen of Bavaria
happily know nothing of the origin of the queer
pranks they play at Christmas; they only
know that they have been handed down by
their fathers, and that they in turn will hand
down the immemorial customs to their chill
dren.
In Germany the old custom of mumming is
still kept up. From house to house these
mummers go. The shepherds. especially, are
entertaining. They are the comic men of the
troupe who, in a half grotesque and half seri-
Gus way, represent the events of the nativity.
There was a famous company of Christmas
mummers, couple of years ago in Bavaria,
