THE mystic mistletoe bough then
as uow granted kissing charter tc
the swains, and the maids were viii
ing sufferers. The sacred mistletoe
vas regarded with religious venera-
ton by the Druids' and its berries of
pearl as symbols Of purity and asso-
ciated with rites of marriage. From
this the transition was but slight to
the kiss beneath the cabalistic bough.
This traditional sacredness, the gene
sis of which is unknown, has en-
dured through the ages, and to-day
for man and maid to meet beneath
the mistletoe gives the right to ga
cred kiss.

ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS GIFTs.-
At the time of the Roman satur-
MALTA friends, masters aud slaves
feasted together, and gifts were ex-
changed in manner similar to the
present time. In fact, from the
earliest times the giving and re-
ceiving of gifts and the offerings to
the poor have been the way in which
people have expressed thanks and
shown their joyfulness. It is the
thought and not the expense of the
Christmas gift that pleases the recipi-
ent.
In giving presents at this season
they should be chosen with love in
the heart and the thought of suita-
bleness.

Fathers Presents.

They were talking about Christ
mas presents, the girls and mother
and |, when father came in. Then
we changed the subject just a little
bit, because it was fathers presents
we were discussing, Father sat
down by the stove and rubbed his
hands-he had been out at the
barn-and queer expression slowly
settled upon his features.
"Say, mother, and Ned and the
girls" he said. 81 don't want any
on ye get noe any presents. 'Tain't no
use, you know"
"Why, father ," said Lena, in an
aggrieved voice, "we always get
you useful presents don't we?
don't myself believe in things that
are not useful"
Fathers eyes twinkled. "Yes,
but 1 sometimes think they are just
a little too useful, you know"
Nell shrugged her shoulders i'm
patiently, but mother said: "Let
father have his little joke. What is
it this time, father ?"
The old gentleman, having warmed
his hands, settled himself back
comfortably in his big chair, and his
eyes twinkled more than ever.
Well, let's see," he went on, in
ruminating manner, "do you re-
member the dozen hem-stitched
han'kerchiefs that you gave me last
Christmas, Leny? / guess 1 used
one of 'em just once. Some way or
other with genial, impartial glance
at the company, Leny and Nell
have been usin' of 'em and I've
been usin' of Leny and Nell's old
torn, stained ones. He, he, don't
know just how't was, but it's fact !
Then, Ned, do you remember the
compass you got me for a birthday
present last June? 1t was a nice lit.
tie compass, and / guess a feller
about your size thought so, too, for
he's been a-usin' of it ever sence.-
Then, let's see, there was the silk
handkerchief that mother gave me
at my birthday, and put it away,
choice-like, and the first thing /
knew, Leny was a-wearin' 1t inside
her jacket. Yes, my presents are al
useful, leetle bit too useful, mebbe
Sec the point, don't ye ?"
Fathers next presents had his
name written on each of them, ant
none Of us ever again thoughtlessly
used the dear old mans things.

NUMBER 80.

CHRISTMAS time! That man
must be a misanthrope indeed In
whose breast something like jovial
feeling is not reused, in whose mind
some pleasant associations are not
awakened, by the recurrence of
Christmas. Their seems a magic in
the very name of Christmas. Petty
Jealousies are forgotten, social feel
ings are awakened in bosoms to
which they have long been strangers.
Kindly hearts that have yearned to-
ward each other, but have been with
held by false notions of pride and
self dignity, are again reunited, and
all is kindness and benevolence.-
Would that Christmas lasted the
whole year through = Charles Dick

DURING the reformation the Puri-
tans, fancying that all festivities
connected with Christmas were only
"popish denominations" attempted
to abolish altogether the observance
of the festival. Happily this ami
versary survived all narrow minded
prosecutions, and rose into purer,
permanent usage.

WHAT NOT TO Do ON CHRIST
MAs.-In north Germany you must
not spin during the twelve nights of
Christmas, lest you should walk af-
ter yonr death, nor after sunset on
Saturday, for then mice will eat
your work. Speaking of eating. If
you waut to have money and luck all
the year round, you must not fail to
eat herrings on New Years day,
nor, if you wish to he lucky, must
you rock an empty cradle, or spill
salt wantonly, or cross knives, or
point at the stars.
If you leave dirty cloth on the
table overnight, you will make the
angels weep; If you point upward
to the rainbow, you will make the
angels feet bleed, and If you talk OF
cabbages while looking at the moon
you will hurt the feelings Of the
man in 1t, who was cabbage stealel
in his salad days.

THE story Of the magi, or " Three
Kings of the East" belongs, of
course, to Christmastide, and the
alteration of the wise men formed a
favorite scene in early English mys-
teries. In the legend the three
kings are called Melchoir, who was
old, with gray hair and beard, and
who offered gold to the infant Sa-
viour; Jasper, who wrs young, and
presented frankincense, while Bal
thasar, of dark complexion. and
dark flowing beard, brought myrrh.
The star which guided them had the
appearance of IA radiant child bear

THE ungainly figures that many
middle-aged woman have are due
largely to want of proper exercise.
When they rest they take such rest
in an idle manner, neither walking
nor riding at all; they either are
sitting or lounging all day, thus lay
ing up store of adipose tissue
which threatens after a while to be-
come nuisance to them, and detract
from health and good looks. Lazi-
ness is the direct cause of much of
the supertiuous avoirdupois under
which so many women groan.
