Thuringia boasts of another curious
Christmas delicacy which only the initiated
can truly appreciate. this is boiled suet dump
lings and herrings. One cannot be blamed for
asking why this mixture? Was the herring
also favored by Wotan?
The herring, as a Christmas dainty. is also
favored throughout Saxony, but there takes
the form Of a salad, and is eaten with smoked
pork. and 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
to visit his humble abode while he sleeps and
regale themselves with Saxon smoked beef
and herring salad
1t is interesting to watch the transformation
OF a German village at Christmas from its
usually treeless appearance into a town laid
In forest of frs. Wagon loads OF these resin
scented trees are sent from the hills of Thurin-
gia. the Hartz and Silesia, and are put up in
even rows in the streets and squares of the
town. There is nothing like 1t in any other
country. For fortnight before the great
feast these long avenues Of "Tannen" are
crowded with eager purchasers, men, women
and children of all ages, and Of every station
in life The great desire Of each is to get

ally perfect IN shape 1t Is the business Of the
tree merchant to supply branches and thus
give the tree the desired roundness.

HEARST AND BRYAN.

The present purpose Of William
Randolph Hearst Is to defeat Will
lam j. Bryan. To that end he will
use his Independence league, unless
something transpires to change his
enmity to friendship for the Demo-
cratic nominee.
Presumably. Hearst is offended be-
the support he thought he ought to
have when he sought the nomination
for president In the convention that
nominated Judge Parker. Hearst
believes he could have landed that
nomination II Mr.. Bryan had ap-
peared before the St. Louis conven-
ticn and made an earnest speech In
behalf OF the great dispenser Of COM
&c supplements.
That Hearst's opposition will in
jure the Democratic ticket cannot be
questioned. Hearst has long been
the friend Of union labor. The print
ers OF the United states are probably
right when they declare that he has
done more to advance wages in the
big publishing establishments Of the
country than any other man. Hearst
believes in paying we'll for capable
service. and ne has built so good a
reputation along this line that union
labor cannot we'll desert him now
unless its members consider general
political principles above the inter
ests with which they are most direct
~ allied.
with Hearst in line for Mr.. Bry.
m, the Republicans would have
cause for deep concern this year
with Hearst Sighting Bryan. the
Democrats can scarcely hope to gel
anything like the large proportion
Of the labor vote that they claim
now.
