Emile lola has been drawn ont by a
young German woman, who has been
writing to several authors of books not
intended for the young, such as Ibsen
and Hauptmann, to ask which of their
works they think suitable for young
girls to read. Zolas answer was:
young girls should read only what
their parents allow them to. An author

his books should be forbidden and which

and verified these excellent people insisted
upon. and when town and country were
rejoicing, Christmas bells ringing, Christ
mas tapers twnkling and Christmas car
OILS thrilling, their home was robbed Of
half Its rightful cheer In their strenuous
determination not to be imposed upon by
Santa Claus or any of his train.
But to turn to our original thought. Did
the parents who would have none Of Santa
Claus gain anything by their resolution to
be rigidly true to a tangible and material
order. or, clinging to the husk. did they
lose the fruit which was growing within
for the healing of the nations? Many
things not susceptible of proof by the evil
dence of the physical senses are really
true in that higher realm where the i'm
agination rules. One OF these never-dy-
ing, nerer-failing things is Santa Claus,
and year by year the weeks over which
his scepter Is extended are weeks of rare
beauty and time when goodwill every
where shines in mems countenances aud
is the handspring of their lives. Children
see and feel this wonderful festival of
love on the earth, but they cannot enter
into 1t fully. and so those who were wiser
than we, In good old days fragrant In
memory. christened the Christmas season.
when the yule-log burns, and the holly
CLEANS, and the world is glad, as the spe-
cial gala-time of Santa Claus. Believe
in him all you can and he will give you
blessings heaped up and running over to
pay you for your faith.-Harpers Bazaar

CHRISTMAS SUPERSTITiONS.
Things That One Must Not Do Under
Penalty of Bad Luck

Things That One Must Not Do Under
Penalty of Bad Luck.
In North Germany you must not spin
during the twelve nights of Christmas,
lest you should walk after your death, nor
after sunset on Saturday. for then mice
will eat your work. Speaking of eating,
if you want 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 be lucky, must you rock an empty
cradle or spill salt wantonly or cross
knives or point at the stars.
If you leave a dirty cloth on the table
over night 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 it, who was a cabbage stealer in his
salad days.
