The correct German Christmas tree al
ways has an angel or u Christkind on the
topmost branch, with tinsel star at the
end of a staff like pantomime fairy, and
IL the tree belongs to very orthodox fam
lily there is usually at its foot small toy
group representing the Saviors birth in
the stable at Bethlehem. The tree repre-
scented. though grown from heather root,
is no doubt still the tanebaum which from
Germany has become naturalized In Amer
lea, France and England.
The lights on the tree are said to be of
Jewish origin. In the ninth month of the
Jewish year, corresponding nearly to our
December, and on the twenty-ffth day, the
Jews celebrated the feast of dedication of
their temple. 1t had been desecrated on
that day by Antiochus; It was dedicated by
Judas Maecabcus. and then. according to
the Jewish legend. sufficient oil was found
in the temple to last for the seven-branch-
ed candlestick for seven days, and 1t would
have taken seven days to prepare new oil,
accordingly the Jews were wont on tho
twenty-hfth Of Kisleu In every house to
light candle, on the next day two and so
on till on the seventh and last day of the
feast seven candles twinkled in every house
1t is not easy to fix the exact date OF the
nativity. but it fell most probably on the
last day of Kisleu. when every Jewish
house In Bethlehem and Jerusalem was
twinkling with lights. 1t Is worthy OF no.
tice that the German name for Christmas
is Weihnacht, the night of dedication as
though 1t were associated with this feast
The Greeks also call Christmas the feast
of lights, and, indeed. this was also the
name given to the dedication festival Cha
nuke, by the Jews.

CHRISTMAS IN ENGLAND.

IN England Christmas is celebrated with
more boisterous enthusiasm than any
where else. Every person who can read
the English language knows the
Christmas of Dickens. and the old English
celebration Of the feast has been described
in detail by Washington Irving in the
sketch book Feasting IL characteristic
of the English celebration. Eating has be-
come such a part Of the day in England
that the Italians have the following pro-
verb: ''ae has more business than English
ovens at Christmas" The English proba-
bly, do more eating Christmas than any
other people, Roast mutton, beef, turkey
and other meats, all manner OF buildings
and pastries fruits, candies and dainties
are consumed In great quantities. The big
log fires, the mistletoe, with Its pretty
Significance rarely put into execution, ac-
cording to the women; the music, riddles
jokes. laughter. repartee, dances and mer-
ry-making, are all familiar to Christmas
celebraters. Punch bowls, holly, ever
greens. jags and eggnog mugs all come In
at Christmas time. and the various legends,
superstitions, ghost stories. fairy tales and
goblin stories are all closely interviewer
with our ideas OF Christmas The Christ
mas celebrations have, however, largely lost
their primitive boisterous character In En-
gland. and family reunions and evergreen
trimmings are nearly all that remain of the
various rough merriments which formerly
marked the festival.

At THE WHITE HOUSE.

1H = AGONLOADS of gifts are received
at the White House at Christmas
time. They come from all parts
of the country, the majority Of
them from persons unknown to the presi-
dent and his wife. These miscellaneous
articles are the private property of the
recipients. and the numerous parcels are
placed in one of the family rooms for ex-
animation. They generally contain the
names of the donors, and to all these
notes of thanks are sent, says the Wo-
mans Home Companion. On Christmas
eve all the employees Of the house-the
clerical staff, the ushers and the domestic
servants--are given, through the estab-
lished munifcence of the president, fine
fat turkey. Fifty fowls, selected from the
best in the market. are purchased for this
event, so that everybody about the fam
Gus mansion has reason for rejoicing. No
one expresses his happiness with a more
beaming countenance than does Jerry
Smith, the old colored man. who has been
a member of the presidential household
since the beginning of Grants first term.
Jerry was President Grants cook, but in
these days he dusts the offices of the
White House and keeps things tidy there
as the traditional pin.
The presidents and their advisers are
usually men of advanced years, and 1t Is
to the second generation from them that
the White House looks for the frolics of
childhood on Christmas day.
