Easter Feasts
Lasted
for Days

IN OLDEN times the Polish
| endeavored to surpass one
another in elaborate Easter
F1 display and sumptuous
IL feasts Following Is a de-
- scription of feast given by
Prince Sahieha In the sixteenth CEN
tury:
In the middle of the huge tables
stood lamb Of candies and marzi-
pan which were distributed only to
ladies, dignitaries and churchmen.
Around 1t, representing the seasons
of the year, stood four wild boars,
each stuffed with hams. sausages and
turkeys. The princes chef showed
wonderful skill in roasting these boars
whole. Then came twelve deer, also
roasted whole and stuffed with great
variety OF game-hares, woodcocks,
partridges. hazel hens, etc.-these
were for the twelve months Of the
year.
Around the tables numbering the
weeks Of the year, were hfty-tWo ma
zourkas-that is, large square cakes
stuffed with all kinds of fruit-and
365 babas, for the days Of the year;
each was one ell 1.-TWO feeD high,
and on their iced surfaces were var1'
GUS inscriptions and notices. prov
erbs and witty verses, which the
invited guests took great pleasure In
deciphering."
In the way Of beverages there were,
first, four antique tankards with wine
from King Batory's time." that Is.
100 years old; then twelve silver
pitchers of old Tokay, then fifty silver
barrels of Spanish, Italian and Cyprus
wines, and 365 bottles of Hungarian
wine. For the household there were
8,760-the number Of hours in one
year-quarts of homemade mead.
The guests feasted during one
whole week AS soon as the Easter
service was over they surrounded the
tables and the entertainment lasted
until midnight. The princes band
played lively airs and the young peo-
pie were never tired of dancing, nor
the elderly ones Of talking Of the good
old times" and drinking to the health
of the prince.
This feast doubtless symbolized the
idea that all the hours Of all the days
of the week, the month and the year
should offer homage to the sacred
lamb, the central figure Of the conse-
Grated feast

Socks for Soldiers,
From the London Chnonin

+ rom the LONDON Chronicle
Advice to those about to knit. in q
rev words, from nurse at the front:
what we want now are very large.
stretchy bed socks, not too short in
ankle, dark colors, to put over FROST
bitten feet after they have been dress
ed. We envelop them in cotton wool,
bandage them up, and put these socks
on. and send the men to England We
have plenty of these socks, but they
are mostly too small, too tightly knit
ted and too tightly cast on. The men
cannot bear to have their feet touched,
much less a tight sock pulled on. Big
needless ones do very well. as by the
time the mems feet are covered in a
layer of cotton wool they are very
shapeless. We got our first lot of men
with frost-touched feet in yesterday,
and expect many more"
Much wool is on its way to the
trenches, but something more than
wool may be needed, and why not
sheepskins, as in Russia? Indeed, TO
the ignorant there is great wonder
in the question as to what becomes Of the
sheepskins. Consider the fiocks we
eat, let your imagination begin to esti-
mate the number of legs of mutton
roasted or boiled in any town, and
then remember that every two gigots
implies skin. Inquiries as to the use
of all this spoil elicits only inadequate
Why. the libraries OF the world could
not contain the books that would be
thus bound. At any rate. every man at
the front could be put into a coat, ap-
propriately dyed, that would make him
safe from pneumonia. If not, why not ?

AMERICAN DUCK HUNTERS
ARE SHOT BY CANADIANS
One Killed and Another Seriously
Wounded by Troops Patro1ling
Border at Fort Erie.

BUFFALO, N. Y. December 2s.-One
American was instantly killed and
another seriously wounded by Canadian
troops patrolling the Canadian border
at Fort Erie, Ont, opposite this city
today. The men were hunting ducks
out of season in the Niagara river and
in Canadian waters Provincial Police
Officer Thomas Delaney Of Fort Erie
ordered the men to stop shooting. They
declined and Delaney called upon a
corporal and two privates OF the 44th
Battalion of the Canadian Militia for
assistance.
The corporal ordered the men to come
ashore. Instead they headed their boat
for the American shore and were beat
ing hasty retreat, when, at the order
of Delaney, the soldiers fired upon
them. Walter Smith was shot through
the head and killed. and Charles
Dorsch was seriously wounded in the
shoulder. Both resided in Buffalo.
When the hunters toppled over in
their boat the soldiers put out in a
boat and towed the hunters craft to
shore.
Secretary of State Bryan was notified
of the shooting by Vice Consul ]. B.
Curtis of Fort Erie.
Whether or not complications will
result is a debatabIe question:" said
Mr.. Curtis. while two Americans were
shot the Information available indi-
Gates that they were shooting ducks
without Canadian license, and were
in Canadian waters, where they had no
right to be under the circumstances
No arrests have been made as a result
of the shooting"
The coroners inquest will be held
late today.
