A goose is the typical Christmas bird, although most families dine or turkey that day, and some like a pal] of ducks aud a One roast of beef. Th< goose must be young, or what is callec a green goose. Yellow and flexible feet are a sign of youth. A goose li , v dressed and trussed in the same man ner as a turkey, but the skin shoulc be thoroughly washed. Sage and onions are the traditional seasonings, and a very good way t< stuff a goose is to boil and mash som( white potatoes and season highly witt onion juice, sage, also salt and pepper Dredge the outside lightly with sail and pepper and thickly with flour Lay the goose on a rack in the baking pan and put a few tablespoonfuls ol water in the pan; baste often. Twentj minutes to the pound is the average time to allow for the baking. Garnlsl: with blood oranges cut In sections oc parsley, celery tips or any other greet garnish. Make a sauce from the contents ol the pan, thickening with flour, and after straining add the giblets, whicli have been cooked until tender in w& ter and chopped coarsely. An old gooBe cannot be cooked satla factorlly in this way. It will need t< be parboiled and then braised.?Chi ca go Inter Ocean. FEEDING THE BIRDS. A Happy Christmas Clltoa Aboii Swedish Peasants. Christmas is celebrated in Sweden t< an extent unknown in our country, anc the celebration is not over until Jan 13. or "twentieth day Yule." A verj pretty feature of the festivities is thu? described by a writer who has visited that country: One wintry afternoon, at Jul-tide (as the season is called), 1 had been skating on a pretty lake three miles from Gothenberg. On my waj home 1 noticed that at every farmer't house there was erected, In the middle of the yard, a pole, to the top of which was bound a large, full sheaf of grain. "vvny is tmsr~ i asteu my eoiumutr, "Oh, that's for the birds, the little wild birds. They must have a merrj Christmas, too, you know." And so if is; not a peasant in Sweden will sit down to a Christmas dinner within doors until he has first raised aloft a Christmas dinner for the birds in the cold and snow without-Pittsburg Di? patch.
