THE CHRISTMAS BIRD
How to Prepare and Cook a Goose,
Old or Young.
A goose Is the typical Christmas
bird, although most families dine on
turkey that day, and some like a pair
of ducks and a fine roast of beef. The
goose must be young, or what Is called
a ' green goose. Yellow and flexible
feet are a sign of youth. A goose Is
dressed and trussed In the same man
ner as a turkey, but the skin should
be thoroughly washed.
Sa’ge and onions are the traditional
seasonings, and a very good way to
stuff a goose is to boil and mash some
white pqtatoes and season highly with
onion juice, sage, also salt and pepper.
Dredge the outside lightly with salt
and pepper and thickly with flour.
Lay the goose'on a rack in the baking
pan and put a few tablespoonfuls of
water In the pan; baste often. Twenty
minutes to the pound is the average
time to allow for the baking. Garnish
with blood oranges cut In sections on
parsley, celery tips or any other green
garnish.
Make a sauce from the contents of
the ikn, thickening with flour, and
after straining add the giblets, which
have been cooked until tender in wa
ter and chopped coarsely.
An old goose cannot be cooked satis
factorily in this way. It will need to
be parboiled and then braised.—Chica

Christmas In Jerusalem.
Christmas is held In greatest rever
ence by the Christians of the east, and
nowhere Is its observance more solemn
and imposing than in Bethlehem, the
picturesque old town where ChriBt was
born. OnvGhristmas eve the devout of
Jerusalem gather together and flock
out of the city and march to the
Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem,
the oldest monument of Christian ar
chitecture in the world. There mass is
celebrated, while armed Turkish sol
diers stand on guard beside the altar
and around the brilliant star, where
Christ is supposed to have lain In the
manger and which gleams up from the
pavement the most conspicuous object

Ninety-Eight Per Cent.
There is. fascination about big
profits to a business man. But the
conservative and cautious trader
prefers to have the lesser per cept of
interest and the larger per (cent of
safety in bis investments. There is
no business man who would not con
sider it a sound proposition to in
vest in an enterprise in which abso
lute loss was impossible and which
offered ninety-eight chances in a
hundred of a rich profit. The sta
tistics of cures effected by Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
show that ninety-eight per cent of
cases of “weak lungs” can be abso
lutely cured. Almost if not all forms
of physical weakness may be traced
to starvation. Starvation saps the
strength. The body is just as much
starved when the stomach cannot
extract nutrition from the food it
receives as when there is no food.
“Weak lungs,” bronchial affections,
obstinate coughs, call for nourish
ment. “Golden Medical Discovery”
supplies that nourishment in its
most condensed and assimilable
form. It makes “weak lungs” strong
by strengthening the stomach and
organs of digestion which digest
and distribute the food, and by in
creasing the supply of pure blood.
At the present ratio of progress
seventy years will elapse before
Ponipeii is uncovered. It is thought
that as^much'treasure remains as has
