Some of the most renowned of German gastronomies! authorities have lent additional luster to the place by being born there. At Christmas time the dish most in request among the Silesians 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 as in the south. Here there is more miscellaneous Christmas eating, hearty enoug put altogether in variance with America tastes. Cakes of all sizes and shapes are'aVo h,.ked and eaten, and some of these have and a hardness of jLouchness to tleir- - . gran re.

In nearly every district of the fatheiland theie still remains the quaintest and queerest of Christmas customs, whose origin is lost in the hoariest antiquity. They have all in the process of time assumed a Christian character, more or less burlesqued, s but the will tell you that they date from the days of Wot an and Frey a. The peasants of Silesia, the woodmen of the Black Forest, and the hilismen 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 children. In Germany the old custom of mumming is still kept up. From house to house these mummeis go. The shepherds, especially, are enteitainicg.

Some of these are flavored with honey, some pepper but all are of such consistency that no ordinary grown-uperson could enjoy a surfeit of them and survive the feast Onlv rhildien seem to be able to eat these kontgbueken and live. Thuringia boasts of another curious Christmas delicacy which only the initialed can truly appreciate, this is boiled suet dumplings and herrings. One cannot be Warned for asking, why this mixtme? Was the herring also favored by Wotan? The hening, as a Chiistmas dainty, is also favored throughout Saxony, but there takes the form of a salad, and is eaten with smoked pork, and a delicate kind of sauerkraut, in which caraway seeds are prominent. The Saxony peasant's 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 wdth Saxon smoked beef and herring salad. It is interesting to watch the transformation of a German village at Christmas from its usually treeless appearance into a town laid in a forest of firs. Wagon loads of these trees are sent from the hills of Thuringia, the Hartz and Silesia, and aie put up in even rows in the streets and squares of the town. There is nothing like it in any other country. Por a fortnight before the great feast these long avenues of Tannen" are crowded with eager purchaser, men, women and children of all ages, and of eer station in life The great desire of each is to get a symmetrical tree, and as few trees are literally perfect in shape, it is the business of the tree merchant to supply branches and thus give the tree the desired roundness. It is the tree that is the atti action of every German home from the kaiser's palace down to the humblest peasants hut, and around it lesin-scente- d the German's best and kindliest thoughts center. The tree is not for the Geiman simply a convenient cluster of mere houghs on which to stick candles and hang presents It stands for the most sacied and mobt dread of all tees, the one once erected on Mount Calvary, and has thus become the sign and seal of his Christian failh. A Christmas Decoration. When the children have tired of even their new possessions (and haw- - soon the new becomes jld) and it is too early for the sandman to pay his nightly visit, try this simple amusement: Suspend a wreath of holly or ever- gieen from a doorway and give I each child an equal quantity of nuts, paper-- lapped candles or favors that stand ha idling, then see who ran throw the most artules through ihe wieath into a basket placed to catch them. Give a simple reward to add zest to the game. In the same manner the game of twos" is t conducted. Take a large napkin or piece of j v stout paper. Place a lot of nuts or hard can- dies in the center. Let a child take hold of each corner and give three vigorous tossei, singing; Goodies, goodies, dance, my Christmas good; Up they go, down they go; dance, my C mas goodies Then theie will be a lively scrimm. who can lecover the most. These little devices will make to the happiest day in the dren. Put them t6 bed with ing in their ears.
