my Hand and Seal"


a thousand years ago, the Masses, the
nobility, the poor and the rich, were wholly
unacquainted with the mysteries of the
alphabet and the pen. A few men known
as clerks, who generally belonged to the
priesthood, monopolized them as special
class of artists. They taught their business
only to their seminaries' apprentices; and
beyond them and their few pupils, no one
knew how to read and write; nor was it ex-
pected of the generality, any more than it
would be nowadays that everybody should
be shoemaker or lawyer. Kings did
not even know how to sign their names, so
that when they wanted to subscribe TO a
written contract, law or treaty, which some
clerk had drawn up for them, they would
smear their right hand with ink and slap
it. down upon the parchment, saying,
"Witness my hand" At later date some
genius devised the substitute of seal,
which was impressed instead of the hand,
but oftener beside the hand Every gem
tleman had a seal with peculiar device
thereon. Hence the sacramental words
now in use, .sWitness my hand and seal, "
affixed to modern deeds, serves at least the
purpose of reminding usof the middle ages.

Christmas.

Politics take rest-Christmas is COM
ing. The only matter worth thinking about
this time of year are the wives and the babies
and the needy poor.
Christmas, the greatest of holidays in
the year, is fast approaching, and is COM
memorated more or less throughout the
civilized world; but, of course, in different
countries there are different customs. In
Germany, for instance, they have two
Christmas days, and in some other states
even three. The first day is exclusively
church festival, and is more strictly OBJ
served than any Sabbath in the year.
Everybody goes to church, and even those
who do not attend any worship during the
year will go on that day; the second day is
set apart for merry-making, social re-
unions, balls, &C., and gifts are bestowed to
faithful servants, employees and the poor
and needy, which custom has of late years
come into practice in our own country to
considerable extent. 1t may be of some
interest to your readers to make mention
here of an ancient custom which still ex
lists in the icy regions of Norway, the feed
ll5 VI tHC VIII UnuS OH Sll lotuldS udJ anu
all the domestic animals belonging to the
family receive double rations on that day,
and share in the great festival.
The kind-hearted farmers also fasten
punches of unthreshed oats or other grain
about their houses and barns. In the
towns the feeding is done in the market
place, and, no matter how poor the people
are, they will be sure to have one bit of
money saved to buy the birds feast.
This is done in grateful remembrance for
their services in eating up the insects that
would otherwise destroy the farmers crop.
Suppose the boys and girls take lesson
from the Norwegians this year, and throw
out dinner of crumbs for some of the
birds, and tie bunch of grain here and
there on trees and fences for the wanderers
who may need food in the cold winter days
that are to come.
Let us take lesson from this beautiful
custom of true charity; let us give pleasure
to others in these festive times by acts of
charity, and particularly to the poor and
needy to whom these joyous times bringno
change except from the hands of the be-
nevolent. ID.
