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 go Inter Ocean* A. ,T.

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 In the grotto. — St. Louis Globe-Demo crat Easy Way to Purchase a Firstclass Piano at Lowest Prices aud on Very Easy Terms. 1st.

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.
