Christmas Eve in Madrid.

This bears in Spain the quaint and
beautiful title, ''Noche Buena.' We
call in English day of deeply sorrow
full memory "Good Friday Spain
gives to the cheering eve of Christs Ma
tivity the name of ''The Good Night. !"
In the land of the olive and the vine,
the holiday is not attended with our
wintry landscape. The Plaza-Mayor at
Madrid is filed up with temporary
booths, where are to be obtained maza-
panes or Christmas cakes, oranges,
pomegranates, watermelons, clusters OF
grapes and dates, nuts of all kinds. pine
apples and bricks of quesa de almendras,
or almond cheese. Toys, of course,
have their place drums and tambour-
ines, dolls and figures of all sorts.
But what is the most curious feature
of this season is the focks of live turkeys
that you find entering the city from all
sides; and, as the bird is rather cratic,
the turkey drover has his hands full in
a crowded thoroughfare. AS he cries,
"Pavos! pavos! gordos y sin viruelal"
Turkeys! turkeys! fat and healthy"
some. citizen, or wife thereof, will
suddenly recollect the condition of the
domestic larder, and grab at the wing of
the most likely-looking bird. The pro-
cession halts, and while the purchaser is
feeling, examining and rejecting till
satisfied, there is general halt. When
the bargain is struck, and the two or
three dollars paid, the purchaser takes
up her live turkey and proceeds with her
shopping, while the turkey -drover drives
on his diminishing flock.
As the night goes on, the din ceases,
all becomes quiet, till the warning bell
announces that the Midnight Mass in
the churches is about to begin. Now
the streets are alive again with the
throngs of people fastening to join in
that religious opening of the day, from
which they come forth to salute each
other with: s'F elicito US ted las Pascuas"
equivalent to our ''Merry Christmas"
for all holidays are Pascuas in Spain,
md this is the Pascua de Ia Navidlad.

OLD CHRISTMAS.

Come, We children, and grown-up people all.
Unto your laughing jollite bid you fall:
[ am Old Christmas, in my snow-white pail.
Yeere after yeere, come with merry Ginning, 4.
And sing full many song of ancient rhyming,
Whilst Winter hoare from hill to hill is climbing.
But, leavening the joy, let solemn thought
Dwell on the wonders this great season wrought
The glorious news by choirs of angels taught.
Remember how the shepherds dazzled sight
Was turned to gaze upon the heavenly light
Which broke so gloriously upon the night;
And how the silence fled tefore the sound
Of angels thrilling voices, which around
Made their sweet anthem of great JOY resound;
GLORY to God on High, and on earth peace,
Goodwill toward men, of charlie increase,
And from sins hateful slavery release.
Through Him who came from heaven on earth to
dwell,
With mightie power to conquer death and hell,
To Him let everlasting praises swell.

CHARITY GREEN'S GIFTS.

Double fold, and only five cents a
yard. It was the cheapest piece Of
plaid worsted I ever laid my eyes oni''
exclaimed to herself Miss Charity Green,
the old maid tailoress of Allentown, and
she unfolded the three-dollar bank-note
which she had received the day before
for week and halls sewing at the
Squire's, and smoothed the ragged cor
ners, and looked at it affectionately.
''Six yards IL make me full dress,
and I must have it to wear at cousin
Nathan's, as they've sent me their usual
invitation to Christmas dinner. I guess
I'll step over and get the stuff at once,
and run up the breadtEs this evenin', as
I've got all them buttonholes on Joseph
Blake's new coat to make tomorrow,
and I've no time to let grass grow under
my feet"

Our Flag.

The present flag of the United States
was designed by Capt. G. Reid, the gal
liant commander of the Gen. Armstrong.
Our flag originally bore thirteen stars
and thirteen stripes. As new States
came in the number of stars and stripes
were correspondingly increased, pursu-
ant to an act of Congress passed in 1894.
This was found to be impracticable for,
as the States increased, the width of the
lines had to be lessened. Besides, there
was nothing In the device to recall the
original confederacy Of the United
States. To return to the use of the
original thirteen stars and stripes would
be inappropriate, because the device
would give no hint of the growth of the
republic. Capt. Reid proposed to re-
turn to the original thirteen stripes as
memento of the original Union, and add
a new star whenever a new State was
admitted, as Indicative of the growth
of the States. This suggestion was
adopted. A flag with this new arrange
ment was first raised over the Hall of
Representatives, at Washington, on the
4thof April, 1918, at 'clockin the after
noon. At that time the Senate Chamber
and Hall of Representatives were sep
arated, the center of the building not
being completed Resolutions of thanks
to Capt Reid /" for having designed and
formed the present flag of the United
States were offered in Congress. The
dimensions of the United States stand
ard are as follows: Regimental flag, six
feet by six feet six inches; storm flag,
ten feet by twenty garrison flag, twenty
feet by thirty.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

The bells are ringing glad and sweet,
Beneath the adoring angels feet,
And in our hearts are glad thoughts born,
By jubilant bells of Christmas morn;
For, in a manger poor and low,
Was born the Christ-child, years ago;
And shepherds, on the hills afar,
Were told the tidings By star.
Chorus:
Oh, ring, glad bells. ring loud end sweet
The song the ages shall repeat,
Which angels sing on Christmas still,
Of peace on earth,'' of peace on earth,"
Of ssPeace on earth, to men good VIII,
0 Christ-child in manger born,
The stars sang on Thy birthday morn.
While Graded on Thy mothers breast,
The wise men sought Tiny place OF rest;
Then peace descended on the earth,
In honor of Thy lowly birth.
ON. Thou hast died for US, and them
Who hailed Thee King of Bethlehem.
Chorus:
Oh, song, adown the centuries rolledi
Oh, song, which never can grow old!
O Christ-child, born cross to bear,
That we, at last, crown might wear
Let US, like shepherds, to Thy feet
Bring love, as ribute-offering meet,
And worship there, while angels sing
In praise of Jesus Christ, our King.

husband got thirty days for drunk and
disorder, the kicking of red-headed Nan
cite down three flights of back stairs by
her husband of month, and the other
bits of social gossip in which women are
always interested. Suddenly their chat
was interrupted by the opening of the
door. A man whom neither of them
knew stood in the hall.

'sGreat God. man! How did he die?"
exclaimed Gervaise, in an agony Of grief,
as she put on her shoes.
'sHe fell off the shot tower
sThank heaven for that" said the
bereaved woman. 1.-THE tower is 274
feet high. and my roor darling at least

gal at fathers that's cen Almost broke
my heart ever since told the children
they mustn't expect to hang up their
stockings this Christmas. You never
did see children so put down in your
life; they ain hardly smiled since, and
it's seemed as though we'd had funeral
| in the house when put 'em to bed to-
night"
'Well, s'pose now you jest get their
stockings and we'll slip them In, and you
can pin them to the bed-posts, you
know"
Mrs. Russell went to her chest Of
cherry drawers and brought forth three
small blue and white WOODEN stockings,
and the hearts of the two women were
full of tune of gladness, as they crowd
ed the playthings inside.
''The house won't hold 'em tomorrow
mornin'," exclaimed Mrs. Russell.
''They'n be as proud as kings and
queens"
'.Bless their hearts!'' said Miss C-een,
''there amt no use O tryin to get this
drum inside"
''No; I'll jest set 1t on the mantle.
Dear me! I expect I sha'n't know
whether my head s off or on tomorrow
mornin' about seven o'clock"
And so Mrs. Russell's mother heart
dwelt on the delight Of the children, and
Miss Green drank in her words greedily.
with frequent CALCULATIONS of wonder
and sympathy.
"Ugh! how the wind does blow!'' said
the old maid, as she gathered her shawl

the road to her home, while a raw blast
struck her in the face. The night was
full of the moan OF winds and the anger
of black, wintry clouds; but Charity
Green did not mind this. her heart was
full of the last words of Mrs. Russell:
81 don't know how to thank you, Miss
Green, but you have remembered the
widow and the fatherless, and be sure
God will remember it of you"
''Merry Christmas-merry Christmas,
Miss Greenw The voices, the bright,
eager, children's voices, were outside the
door and inside the room, all in breath.
There was Johnnie with his drum, and
Ellen, whose blue eyes danced with Joy
over her tea-set, and little flaxen-haired
Jane, who looked ''as cunning as a
WITCH" Miss Green averred, as she
Rugged up in true motherly fashion her
precious doll to her heart.
Then such confusion of voices and
running of feet, drowned frequently in
the sound Of Johnnie's drum, as went on
for the next hour in Miss Green's solitary
room.
"We're goin' to play company this
