What Others
Like to Eat at
Christmastide

CPAIN loves her turkeys. Nor does
y she find it necessary to run them
to death on the farms in, order to
make their meat tender, for the fowls
are driven into town from long dis
tanceS, and their feet are tarred to
withstand the hardness of the roads.
For three days before Noche Buena
the streets of the cities and villages
are thick with squawking poultry and
bleating lambs and kids that are des-
tined for the slaughter.
Cuba fattens up her turkeys on wal
nuts to make their flesh more tooth
some. Mexico grinds the cooked tur-
key to a paste, which is mixed with
chilli, raisins, currants, wine and few
other ingredients into what is called
mole de guajalote. France, too, al
though she shows her partially for
turkeys by examining them with truf-
hes, coquettes with her Christmas
menu. Now she throws her scarf to
blood red sausage, fat and juicy; now
to stewed hare with unfermented
wine; again to pheasants, to hazen
hens, to heath cocks.
In Brittany the home cured ham
gives SAVIOR to the rye bread and to the
chocolate porridge, especially dedi-
Gated to Noel. In Cuba baked hams,
previously boiled in champagne and
well sugared, vie for favor with a
Spanish piece de resistance called
"MOrs and Christians" in Renaissance
ola page in Spanish history, and made
of black beans and rice.
In southern Italy cells, curled round
with tail in mouth, defy time on the.
Christmas board by the emblem of
eternity. In the smaller Italian cities
on the day before Christmas the air is
shrill and cries of kids being brought
to market in panniers swung from
donkey backs. Chickens, pigeons, tripe,
boiling hot, are other dainties appro-
pirate to the season, as well as tur-
keys, geese and calf's head.
German and Scandinavian countries
are noted for the bounty Of their
Christmas cheer. In rural neighbor-
hoods the tables are spread from
Christmas to Epiphany. England, too,
offers wide and varied hospitality. In
Warwickshire, for instance, they serve
roast crab apples with chine of pork
and elder wine. Yorkshire has it's
frumenty, it's Yule cakes and plum
pudding. Scotland boasts one dish all
her own-haddock,' stuffed with Oat-
meal and onions-Chicago Tribune.

Hang Up a
Jar Instead of
A Stocking

10 LITTLE Mexican boy or girl
ever thinks of hanging up a
: stocking. They have some
thing far more interesting.
Three or four days before
Christmas stands spring up
about the alameda, or open
park, without which no Mex
lean village is complete. All
about these shops are hung
the pinatas, which take the
place of Christmas stockings.
These are apparently great
dolls 2 or 3 feet tall, dressed
in tissue paper, with papier
mache faces and dangling
legs and arms In reality
their flowing paper garments
conceal earthen Jars for the
holding of candies.
Sometimes the pinatas are
in the form of angels or
fairies, but usually they rep
resent some person prOmi
nent in Mexico. President and
Mrs. Diaz used to smile from
every stand. The Mexican
child may live in a hut built
of fiat stones piled together
in public lot, but he has his
pinata at christmas time.
In the better homes the
pinataS are strung on a rope
across a room. They are al
ready heavy with their load
of dulces, or candies, and they
dangie somewhat dangerously
over the heads of the behold
ers. Finally, the tallest man
is blindfOlded, given a stout
cane and turned round and
round. Leaping up, he strikes
at the suspended figures.
Amid shrieks of laughter and
directions he keeps striking
until he hits one of the Jars.
Crack !" go. it's sides, and,
being made only of baked
clay, they crumble away and
the sweets come pouring out.
Nobody is too dignified to
scramble for them. The older
people are on their knees
with the children. Everybody
gets at least a mOuthful. Then
another is blindfOlded, turned
about and told to strike for
another sugary deluge.-L.

The managers of great systems of railroads thru the east have passed over. to President Wilson full and complete authority to determine what shall be done with the demands of conductors, brakemen and switchmen. who. in asking for an increase of wages. intimated that unless the de. mand should be granted they would 50 out on strike.
 These same men referred all act ton. few days since, at the request Of the president. There will be d conference between the leaders of the brotherhood and MT. Wilson on Trurs. day. and 1t is presumed that labor. in this case. will prove as tractable and as loyal as were the railroads. and that in the hands of the president with and by the consent-willingly giv- enrof all parties, will be placed the determination of this grave and far reaciing matter.
 The responsibility on the president Is tremendous. but great as it Is it does not equal the magnitude of the confidence thus shown in the Presi. dent.
 It is gratifying to every loyal heart to see contending forces of such gi- gantic size and strength voluntarily submit differences to the Chief Exc. cutive of the nation. It is proof posi- tive that all conditions of people, all classes, all industries. entertain 8 royal confidence in the white soul of Wilson.
