HERE IS A DELIGHTFUL DE SCRIPTION OF AN OLD ENGLISH CHRISTMAS CELE-("2V BRATION, TAKEN FR01£^ THE “SKETCH BOOK,” WRIT TEN NEARLY A HUNDRED YEARS AGO BY WASHINGTON i JIVING. • • * • V r was a brilliant moon light night, but extreme ly cold; our chaise whirled rapidly over the frozen ground; the post boy smacked his whip fncessantly and a part of the time his horses were on a gallop. "He knows where he is going,” said my companion, laughing, "and is eager to arrive in time for some of the merriment and good cheer of the serv ants’ hall. My father, you must know, Is a bigoted devotee of the old school, and prides himself upon keeping up something of old English hospitality. He is a tolerable specimen of what you will rarely meet with nowadays in its purity, the old English country gentleman; for our men of fortune spend so much of their time in town, and fashion is carried so much into the country, that the strong rich pe culiarities of ancient rural life are al most polished away. “My father was always scrupulous in exacting our holidays, and having us al-ound him on family festivals. He used to direct and superintend our games with the strictness that some parents do the studies of their chil dren. He was very particular that we should play the old English games ac cording to their original form; and consulted old books for precedent and authority for every 'merrie sport,’ yet I assure you there never was ped antry so delightful. It was the policy of the good old gentleman to make his children feel that home was the happiest place in the world, and I value this delicious home-feeling as one of the choicest gifts a parent could bestow." Queer Dinner Bell. I had finished my toilet and was loitering with Frank Bracebridgo in the library, when we heard a distinct thwacking sound, which he informed me was a signal for the serving up of the dinner. The squire kfept up old customs in kitchen as well as hall; and the rolling-pin, struck upon the dresser by the cook, summoned the servants to carry in the meats and fixings. The dinner was served up in the great hall, where the squire always held this Christmas banquet. A blaz ing, crackling fire of logs had been heaped on, to warm the spacious apartment, and the flame went spark ling and wreathing up the wide mouthed chimney. On the sideboard was a display of plate that might have vied (at least in variety) with Belshazzar’s parade of the vessels of the temple; ‘ Flagons, cans, cups, beak ers, goblets, basins, and ewers:” the gorgeous utensils of good compan ionship that had gradually accumulated through many generations of jovial housekeepers. Before these stood the two Ifule candles, beaming like two stars of the first magnitude; oth er lights wrcre distributed in branches, and the whole array glistened like a firmament of silver. We were ushered into this banquet ing scene with the sound of mins trelsy, the old harper being seated on a stool beside the fireplace, and twanging his instrument with a vast deal more powrer than melody. Never did Christmas board display a more goodly and gracious assemblage or countenances; those who were not handsome were, at least, happy; and happiness is a rare improver of your bard-favored visage. Enormous Pig's Head. The parson said grace, which was not a short, familiar one, such as is commonly addressed to the Deity n. these unceremonious days; but a long, courtly, well-worded one ot the an cient school. Tl ~re was now a pause, as if something was expected, when suddenly the tutler entered the hall with some degree of bus tle; ho was attended by a servant on each side with a large wax-light, and oore a silver dish, on which was an enor mous pig's head, decorated with rose mary, with a lemon in its mouth, which was placed with great formality at the head of the ta ble. The moment this pageant made its appearance the harper struck up a nourish; at the con clusion of which the young Oxonian, on receiving a hint from the squire, gave, with an air of the most comic grav ity, an old carol. Though prepared to witness many of these little eccentricities, from be ing appraised of the peculiar hobby of mine host, yet, I confess, the parade with which so odd a dish was intro duced somewhat perplexed me, until 1 gathered from the conversation of the squire and the parson that it was meant to represent the bearing in of the boar’s head; a dish formerly served up with much ceremony and the sound of minstrelsy and song, at great tables, on Christmas day. "1 like the old custom,” said the squire, "not merely because it is stately and pleasing in itself, but because it was observed at the college at Oxford at which 1 was educated. When I hear the old song chanted, it brings to mind the time when I was young and gamesome—and the ncble old col.ege hall—and my fellow-students loiter ing about in their black gowns; many of them, poor lads, are now in their graves!” That Tiresome Parson. The parson, however, whose mind was not haunted by such associations, and who was always more taken up with the text than the sentiment, ob jected to the Oxonian's version of the carol, which ho affirmed, was differ ent from that sung at college. He went on, with the dry perseverance of a commentator, to give the college read ing, accompanied by sundry annota tions; addressing himself at first to the company at large; but finally their attention gradually diverted to other talk and other objects, he low ered his tone as his number uf audi tors diminished, until hu concluded his remarks in an undertone to a fat-headed old gentleman next him, who was silently engaged in the dis cussion of a huge plateful of turkey. The table was literally loaded with good cheer, and presented an epit ome of country abundance, in this season of overflowing larders. A dis tinguished post was allotted to "an cient sirloin,” as mine host termed it: being, as he added, "the standard of old English hospitality, and a joint of goodly presence, and full of expecta tion." There were several dishes quaintly decorated and which had evidently something traditional in their embellishments; but about which as 1 did not like to appear over curious. 1 as red no questions.

It would be tedious, perhaps, to my foolish fondness for odd and obsolete things, to which I am a little given, were l to mention the other make shifts of this worthy old iiumo.vst, by which be was endeavoring to follow up. though at humble distance, tlr: quaint customs if antiqo ty. I was pleased, however, to see the respect s..own to his whims oy his children anil relatives; who. indeed, entered readily into the full spirit of them, and seemed all will versed in their parts; having doubtless been present CONDENSATIONS Osmium is one of the most valuable metals.

I was amused, too, at the air of profound gravity with which the butler and other serv ants executed the duties assigned them, however eccentric. The dinnertime passed away in this How of innocent hilarity; and. though the old hall may have resounded in its time with many a scene of broader rout and revel, yet I dcubt whether it ever witnessed more honest and gen uine enjoyment. How easy it is for one benevolent being to diffuse pleasure around him; and how truly is a kind heart a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity to freshen into smiles; the joyous disposition of the worthy squire was perfectly con tagious; he was happy himself, and disposed to make all the world happy; and the little eccentricities of his hu mor did but season, in a manner, the stveetness and philanthropy. The Children’s Games. After the dinner table was removed, the hall was given up to the younger members of the family, who, prompted to all kinds of noisy mirth by the Oxonian and Master Simon, made its old walls ring with their merriment, as they played at romping games. I delight in witnessing the gambols of children, and particularly at this happy holiday season, and could not hr Ip stealing out u the drawing room I found them at the game of blind man's buff. Master Simon, who was the leader of their revels, and seemed on all occasions to fulfill the office of that ancient potentate, the Lord of Misrule, was blinded in the midst of the hall. The little beings were as busy about him as the mock fairies about Faistaff; pinching him. plucking at the skirts of his coat, and tickling him with straws. One fine blue-eyed girl of about thirteen, with her tlaxen hair all in beautiful confusion, her frolic face in a glow, her frock half torn off her shoulders, a complete picture of a remp, was the chief tormentor; and. from the slyness with which .Master Simon avoided the smaller game, and hemmed this wild little nymph in cor ners. and obliged her to jump shriek ing over chairs, 1 suspected the rogue of being not a whit more blinded than was.convenient. For my part I was in a continual excitement, from the varied scenes of whims and innocent gayety passing be fore me. It was inspiring to" me to see wild-eyecl frolic and warm-heart ed hospitality breaking out from among the chills and gloom of win ter, and old age throwing off his apa thy. ma catching oirr more the freshness of youthful enjoyment. 1 felt also an interest in the scene, from the consideration that these tleeting customs were posting last into obliv ion. and that this was. perhaps, the only family in England in which the whole of them were still punctiliously observed. There was a quaintness, too. mingled with all this revelry, that, gave it a peculiar ;est; it was suited to the time and place; and as the old manor house almost reeled with mirth and wassail, it seemed echoing back the joviality of long-departed years.

TO PUT TURKEY DM HUSKERS ARRANGE GAME FOR THANKSGIVING NEXT YEAR. NOTRE DAME TEAM ENGAGED Complete Football Schedule An nounced for Coming Season, Ex cept One Open Date. Lincoln.—After the absence of a Thanksgiving day game from the Ne braska football schedule for the last live years, Guy E. Reed, Husker ath letic manager, announced that the strong Notre Dame squad will be the university’s opponent next Turkey day.. This announcement came with the complete schedule, excepting one game. The schedule includes the usual Missouri Valley teams—Drake, Kansas Aggies, Ames, Kansas and Iona. The open date is the one usually tilled by Wesleyhn, and if it is possible to get a home-and-home contract will: some middlewest school, the Methodists may be omitted from the 111 It; playing list. With the exception of the Iowa game, all of the ll'lti games already booked will be piaved on the Nebras ka gridiron. Notre Dame sought a two-year contract with a game at Notre Dame, hut Reed opposed this because of tim change in coaches at Nebraska next year, and Notre Dame finally determined to play the Thanks giving game at the 'Husker school. Reaches High Mark. Nebraska dairy products totaled $40,000,000 this year instead of $9,000,000, as reported by the State Agricultural hoard, according to em phatic statements by Food Commis sioner Harman. Here is the way the latter figures it out: Each person in | the state averaged twenty-five pounds of butter used per year and that but ter averaged 25 cents a pound a year round price. That would make a to tal of $8,000,000. Then added to this, according to Mr. Harman, was a $15. iioo,pen total of other butter shipped I out of the state, butter that was over and above that needed here. And then in addition to that was $2,000,000 of country butter sent to big stations i tor work-over and from there sent out | side the state for storage and ulti i mate usage. On top of all this, says ! Mr. Harman, there is a $15,000,000 to | tal of cream and milk that is used I in the homes of the state day by day ! and which goes into ice cream and so forth. Figures in Mr. Harman’s of I fice show that the creameries of the state have a total yearly production of $15,000,000 a year—and what they ! work with constitutes about 40 per ! cent of the total production of the state. His figures, he therefore be lieves, are more nearly right than the agricultural board’s, and yet lie con siders them conservative. Uncovers Ancient Records. State Auditor Smith lias unearthed an old record kept b\ the state aud itor in the early days of the state's history, which has some interesting entries in it which shows how things have changed in this state. One entry under date of 1809 shows that the leg islature made an appropriation of $1,800 for wood to keep the legisla ture warm. All but $77.75 was spent in an effort to warm up the members. In 1870 the state spent $80 for a chandelier and then added $92.55 in repairs. The same year the state paid $19 for two cords of wood to. warm the office of the adjutant gen eral. Warning to Aspirin Users. Aspirin tablets sold over the state as substitutes for the German prod uct are dangerous and dealers who are giving them to an unsuspecting public will be prosecuted for mis branding. according to facts brought ou* hy the state and federal food I commissions working together. The real aspirin tablets are not soluble in cold water. The substitutes are and those who have occasion to buy the tablets are urged to make this test before taking them. The American substitutes have been selling for $0.50 a thousand. The German as pirins, when obtainable, have whole saled at $8.80 a thousand. Suggests New Regulation. Relieving that it has no authority to compel the railroads to recede in its order relating to selling of fruit from cars, the State Railway eom mi-sicn lias issued a communication to the roads recommending that in asmuch as the system of selling from cars is one of long standing and the conditions covering the sale of fruit are so peculiar that the carriers should continue to permit the use of its cars for that purpose. However, if the roads care 10 submit an appli cation for increased rental for the use of its cars the commission will consider it favorably. Date Fixed for Rate Hearing. Judge Munger has set January 24 as the time for hearing the case brought by the Rock Island Railroad company covering a raise in passenger rates from 2 to 3 cents per mile. The case will probably be heard in the Omaha court. Grow More Vegetables. Nebraskans are urged to grow and cut more vegetables to cut the cost of living and obtain proper diet variety, in a statement issued by J. R. Duncan, secretary of the State Horticultural society. Total Appropriations. According to figures prepared by State Accountant George DeFrance, the state university exceeds all other institutions in the amount of money collected and used. Appropriations made and used totaled $3,200,000. In addition to this there was a revenue of $260,000 from the sale of serum, cream, milk, etc., at the state farm. Matriculation and other fees includ ed in the above amounted to about $700,000, while* fees collected at the medical college at Omaha amounted to $5,889. WESTERN CANADA’S WONDERFUL YIELD Wheat Yields Reports Extraor dinarily Heavy. When one nears of individual wheat yields of thirty-five to forty bushels per acre, there is considerable incre dulity, but when yields, in whole town ships extending into districts covering three and four and five hundred square miles in area, of upwards of fifty ai d some as high as sixty-tive bushels per acre are report* d, one is led to put h-is ear to the ground to listen for fur ther rumblings. The writer having heard of these wonderful yields made a trip through the provinces of Mani toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, to ascertain first hand their truthfulness. It was remarkable to discover that Dame Rumor was no rumorer alter ail. that modesty was her mantle, that all that had been said of these yields was true, and that yields of over sev enty bushels per acre were told of. These were so high that the truthful ness of the story was doubtful and very little was said of them. Hut such there were, and not in one in stance, but in several, not in one lo cality but scattered in places hun dreds of miles apart. Leaving these out altogether, there were large areas in which the average was over fifty bushels per acre, which in all com mon sense ought to satisfy most peo ple. One hundred and thirty thresh ers in Alberta have made thei> re turns to the local government as re quired by an act of the Legislature, and the average of the wheat threshed was fifty-three bushels to the acre. So immense was the yield that official verification was required before giving it out to the public. Sitting in the smoking compartment of a day coach, where on passing through a farming community, there may be gathered the gossipy yarns of the neighborhood, one hears also a lot of news. Just now, the sole topic is that nf the crops. A man with more or less of a hirsute appendage, smock, clothes and hands giving the appearance of one working in the field, was asked as to the crops. He had got on at Warner, Alberta. Taking out his pipe, lighting it and then crossing his knees, holding his chin in his hands, pos sessing an air of supreme content ment, and with an intelligent face, he looked the man who could give some information. And he was just the man. He was a thresher and on his way to Milk River to secure some more help. He was requisitioned *or information. "Yes, a good season. I’ve made a lot of money. As for yields, let's see,” and then he began to string them ofT. “Peterson had 68 bushels of wheat per acre on his five hundred acre farm; from 3S0 acres Roland got 65 bushels per acre; Bu gler had one hundred and ten acres that went 63 bushels; Carr had 65 bushels per acre off an eight hundred acre field.’' And he gave others run ning from 58 to 66 bushels per acre. All these people lived east of War ner, Alberta. Looking out of the win dow and seeing immense fields, still covered with stocks he was asked why they were not threshed, he re plied that there were not enough "rigs’’ in the district, and that they would not get through before Christ mas. An American writing of a trip he made through Western Canada says: “I went as far west as Saskatoon, back to Regina, Moose Jaw, and down on the Soo line, and 1 must say that I never saw such crops, or ever heard of anything to compare with it in any country' on earth. The country is over the hill, and certainly the farm ers have a lot to be thankful for. There are very few of them that have done their work and done it properly but what have their debts paid and have bank accounts left.” And he only traveled the skirt of the country. The same story could be written of any part of any of three Provinces.—Advertisement. Below the Average. “Wouldn't you classify Uerton as an average man?” "I certainly would not.

Some time ago a local corps was re viewed by Sir Ian Hamilton, and there is a story told that one of the officers was mounted on a horse that had pre viously distinguished itself in a bakery business. A wag in the crowd is supposed to have recognized the horse, for he shouted out, •Baker:'1 The horse promptly stopped dead, and nothing could urge it on. The situation was getting painful, when the officer was struck with a brilliant idea, and re marked, within hearing of his steed: "Not today, thank you.” The procession then moved on with out further delay.—London Mail.
