ing they expect TO find them filled with
sweetmeats and fruit in return for their
good behavior.
In Holland the children hang up their
woolen stockings by the tiled chimney
piece, and then go soberly To bed quite
sure that good 81. Nicholas will visit
them, provided they do not disturb him
in his visit
Bohemian children listen auNioH-ly m

horses Of the Christ child" rs he comes
flying through the air with his lrippe
full Of presents but the Italian children
go gravely with their parents to ochurches
and cathedral TO see the bamhino. or
saint, who presents them with their
Christmas gifts.
The Spanish children hide their shoes
or slippers in the bushes ON Christians
eve, and find them filed with frajt aud
sugar plums on Christmas morning.
In France the Young people stand their
shoes in convenient place for the gifts
to be dropped into. Sometimes if the
shoe Of a bad boy ia among them he
finds a whip in it in the morning. aud he
must be stupid fellow who cannot take
so sharp = hint, Very different are the
feelings of German child. He waits
with feelings of mingled awe aud pleas
ure for the coming of two important
personages "Christ child and the
"Knecht Rupert" The latter person
questions naughty children and threat
ems them with punishment till the
"Christ child's" intercession saves the
culprit and wins its pardon. Then these
two Christmas apparitions lay down
their burdens of gifts and depart.
In some parts Of Germany the good
saint will have Christmas tree bril-
liantly illuminated with wax candles to
hang its gifts on. He is not satisfied
simply with the stocking in the Chin
ney, and it is from this whim of his
saintship that the custom has spread into
other countries and come over to our
own. The Christmas tree of today, how
ever, is only a successor to its prototype,
the ancient legendary ydgnafil, or eter-
nal tree, that had its roots in earth aud
its top in heaven.
In Germany the schoolboys and Choir
isters make the midnight air ring with
their merry carols. The Three Kings
Of the East, the Angel Gabriel and the
Star Singers parade the streets, and
similar professions go about in Italy,
France and Spain, In former years,
and perhaps even now in some localities
in England, the Christmas waits--young
lads-lnake the air vocal with lovely
Christmas carols, but in our country
these are reserved to be heard in church
and Sunday school, aud sometimes they
ring out in chimes from the church stee-

BALDUR AND THE MlSTLEToE.
How the God Of Oratory and Poetry
Dled-A Legend Of the North.
The mythology Of ,hs north unfolds
20 us the fatal power of the mistletoe in
ihe charming myth of Blldur, the young
god Of Oratory aud Of poetry.
Baldur the Good was the favOrite son
Of Odin, and beloved Of all the gods es-
pecially for his marvellous beauty and
courage. From a succession Of terrible
dreams he believed himself doomed 10
death and related the hideous vision TO
the assembled gods, who with one ac-
cord determined 10 avert from him all
danger and 10 this end conlured all
things Friggs, his mother, exacted
from the elements and from all things
in nature, animate and iuanimate, vow
under no circumstances to do him harm.
Thus protected Baldur, as of yore, led
the chase and courted danger in protean
form, giving himself as a target for the
other gods arrows, battleaXes and
other weapons, who, believing that, do
what they would, they could do him no
hurt, thus sported with his yalor deem
ing it am honor paid to Baldur
Lod, the detracior of the gods and
the author Of all their misfortunes, an
gered that no harm could befall Baldu-,
and filed with envy and jealousy at tho
tribute thus paid 10 him by the other
gods, resorted 20 strategy TO find some
way 20 work him evil. Assuming the
disguise Of woman, he sought the
abode Of Frigga and asked her if she
knew how the gods were employed.
She replied to the question, and to the
passionate love and pride Of the mother
for her darling, gifted son, that they
were testing their skill and the merits
Of their weapons upon Baldur, who WIS
unscathed by them.
/ AYE, aye" Frigga made answer;
/ "naught can hurt Baldar. / have eX-
e1acted au oath from all things to do
him no HARM
What" exclaimed the deceiver;
"haye all things really sworn to spare
BaldurY'
IAN things returned fTigga, "eT-
cept an insignificant plant that grows
uear Walhalla, called 'mistletOe; any
thing so weak could do him no harm.
Hastily Loki left the presence OF
Fngga, and resumiug his own shape
searched for aud found the frail plant.
Appearing amid the gods with branch
Of mistletoe. he directed ir with aim s0
sure that Baldur was pierced through
the heart and expired instantly.-New

Ten Minutes before this scene Deacon
Marshall aud his good wife sat before
the blazing fire in the clean, snug old
fashioned kitchen, while the busy house
maid, stout, rosy Dutch lass Of eight
cen, piled her evening tasks. The ap-
petizing smell of browning griddle
cakes and fragrant tea filled the room.
The bitter winds howled outside, en-
hancing tho blessed sense Of home

"It's mighty bad weather. 1 hope all

But every feast must have its eud.
The day lowered as evening cane on;
gusty clouds chased each other across
the sky, and Rube, full to repletion,
pushed back his chair and said he must
be "gettin up his team pretty soon, as
he'd promised his wife they'd stay at

trine, who had gone to the well for a
pitcher Of fresh water, looked in at the
door and beckoned mysteriously to old
Mrs. Marshall, which caused her to-
make excuse, and leaving the room to
seek the spot to which the girl pointed.
In the cleaning, beside the old "moss

mother advanced, trembling and uncer-

Mother! oh, mother!' he said with a

TITUsvILLE, Pa, Dec. 81. William
Hartman has committed suicide from a
melancholy conviction chat he was his
own grandfather. Here is the singu-
lar letter that he left:

grown up daughter My father visited
our house very often, fell in love with
my step daughter and married her
So nay father became my son-in-law,
and my step-daughter my mother be-
cause she was my fathers wife. Soon
afterwards my wife had a son-he was
my fathers brother-in-law and my I'M
Gle, for he was the brother of my step
mother My fathers wife, i. g., my
step-daughter, had also a son he was
of course my brother and in the mean
