rather question whether non-voter

Pembina had nothing to conceal and
they were treated with courtesy. Messrs

he must do something and exercised his

But with all the mysticism and ultra senti-
mental ways of regarding Christmas the Ger
man never forgets 1t 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
boars head with n 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 1t 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 boars heads would
not hold out). and round this animals head
are furnishings of sausage and green cab
bage.
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
packed in It, and also generously spread over
the whole dish. This dainty rejoices in the
name of Himmelsreich (the kingdom of
heaven).
In North Germany the pigs head is not as
prominent 6s 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

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 a salad, and is eaten with smoked
pork, and delicate kind of sauerkraut in
which caraway seeds are prominent. The
SaNony 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.
II is interesting TO watch the transformation
of 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 Thurln-
sia' lhe harN ana Sllesla, 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 a
symmetrical tree, and as few trees are liter
ally perfect in shape, 1t is the business of the
tree merchant to supply branches and thus
give the tree the desired roundness.

The peasants of Silesa, the woodmen OF the
