A "eREEN CHRISTMAS" FALLAcY.

An old proverb says that a "green
Christmas makes fat churchyard," and
as most people accept proverb as if it
were indisputably true, it should be said
that there is no truth whatever in this
particular saying. No warrant is found
for it in statistics, and the very fact that
people whose health is below the average
are advised by physicians to seek mild
climate in winter, should show others
that when the Christmas holidays are
mild and pleasant they should not be op-
pressed with any unusual dread of inn
pending death. 1t is much and more
likely that old ladies who dwell in a
world of proverbs will come to grief than
that undertakes will have any special
reason to rejoice.

The peasantry of Sweden have little
goblin they call the Tomte, to whom they
must pay their annual wages on Christ
mas Eve, or Christmas morning, if they
wish to keep on the right side Of the little
fellows. This wages is in the shape of
bit Of gray cloth, out Of which the Tomte
manufactures his wardrobe for the year.
a piece Of tobacco or a shovelful Of clay
either Of which must be left upon the
Tomte's hill or house. If farmer fails
to pay due respect or the annual tribute
to the Tomte residing on his land, his
crops will fall short.
On Christmas Eve, as well as on ST.
Johns Night, the Scandinavian Trolls
have grand reunion. Their hill houses
are raised on red pillars, and the tiny men
with bumped backs, gray jackets, and
red pointed caps employ themselves in
moving to and fro Cnests Of gold, and in
raising and closing their lids; some dance
and drink, and others try to inveigle
passers-by into their festivities. When
such thing happens the entrapped party
finds difficulty in getting away. In the
middle of the town of Aagerup, in Zea-
land, is huge stone, and in the Cathe-
dral of Aagerup is an altar cup, both of
which are commemorative of farmer

How q Little Ring Was Treasured by

A gentleman who was once teacher
in country school district writes:
"The most trifing gift is often the one
to be valued most, and have one that a
kings ransom could not purchase.
81 had among my pupils some years
ago a singularly beautiful and winsome
little girl named Mary. Her parents
we're dead, and she had the misfortune to
live with distant relative who made the
child most unhappy by his cruel treat
ment. His wife was even more cruel to
the helpless child, who was the most
obedient and submissive of children.
"They allowed her to come to school
three months during the coldest winter
weather. She was always thinly clad,
and fear that her little tiny lunch pail
seldom contained anything better than
dry bread and cold potatoes.
II tried to be very kind to her. hope
that was.
"But l had large school of bad boys
and mischievous girls that tried my pa
tience, and who took up all my time,
even at noon and recess hours.
"Mary was shy and sensitive, making
few friends, and saying nothing when
certain thoughtless and heartless girls
ridiculed her shabby clothes.
"She had way of twisting her thin
whiteifngers together and glancing around
in frightened timid manner when she
was thus taunted.

on Mary's account.
"The week before Christmas she fellill.

school, and her gratitude for these visits
shone forth in her eyes.
II took her few little gifts on Christ

to her, she slipped one thin white hand
up under the pillow, and said:
