A Christmas Decoration.

When the children have tired of even their
new possessions (and 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 wreath of holly or ever
green from doorway and give to each child
an equal quantity of nuts, paper-wrapped can
dies or Savors that will stand handling then
see who can throw the most articles through
the wreath into basket placed to catch them.
Give sinple 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 tosses,
singing:
Goodies, goodies, dance, my Christmas goodies
Up they go, down they go; dance my Christ
mas goodies"
Then there will be a lively scrimmage to see
who can recover the most.
These little devices will make a Jolly ending
to the happiest day in the year for the chill
dren. Put them to bed with pretty songs ring
ing in tfeir ears.

Ruprecht, Nikolaus angels and other
Christmas novelties. Some of these are
favored with honey. some with pepper. but
all are of such consistency that no ordinary
grown-up person could enjoy a surfeit Of
them and survive the feast Only children
seem to be able to eat these konigbucken
and live.
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 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
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 German village at Christmas from it's
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 Siesia, and are put up in
even rows in the streets and squares of the
town. There is nothing like it in any other
country. For a 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 a
symmetrical tree, and as few trees are liter
ally perfect in shape, it is the business of the
tree merchant to supply branches and thus
give the tree the desired roundness.
1t is the tree that is the attraction of every
German home from the kaisers palace down to
the humblest peasants hut, and around it

lines of surprising beauty, before a persons
house they are generally rewarded for their
pains with gifts of lard, bacon and eggs.
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 a lemon mpaled between it's
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, the god
was certainly not familiar with this tart fruit.
In Brandenburg and the Uckermark any pigs
head will do (the stock of boars heads would
not hold out), and round this animals head
are furnishings of sausage and green cab
bage.
Sesia is a province which has especially
of the most renowned of German gastronomi-
the place by being born there. At Christmas
time the dish most in request among the Sile-
slams is smoked pigs head with baked fruit
packed in it, and also generously spread over
the whole dish. This dainty rejoices in the
name or H1mmelsre1ch (the Kingdom OF
heaven).
In North Germany the pigs head is not
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 hardness of
granite These cakes take the form of Knecht

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 foklorists 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 serl-
Gus way, represent the events of the nativity.
There was a famous company of Christmas
mummers, couple of years ago in Bavaria,
with a magnificent looking first shepherd, VINO

the Germans best and kindliest thoughts cen
ter. The tree is not for the German simply
a convenient cluster of mere boughs on which
to stick candles and hang presents. 1t stands
for the most sacred and most dread of all
trees, the one once erected on Mount Calvary,
and has thus become the sign and seal of his
Christian faith.
