ROMAN CHRISTMAS.
4 Season of Joy and MerrymakinE
In the Eternal City.

the ENcFhaA WY
Although the picturesque scenes and
grand functions which formerly attracted
visitors to Rome at this time Of the year
are In a great measure things Of the past,
perhaps in few other cities Of the world
Is It possible to pass more delightful
Christmas than in Rome. for here. in the
venerable Caput Mundi, all the cosmopol-
ttan usages and customs which follow in
the motley train of old Father Christmas
seem to concur in rendering it a season Of
Joy and merrymaking, while the peculiar
fascination Of the Eternal City sheds IA
kind Of glamour over the most varied eel
ebrations, and the beautiful religious Ger.
cmoL'ns are unequaled for sOlemnity and
impress. e grandeur.
OF all seasons this is In Rome the gay
est within the circle Of domestic life, but
the vigil, instead Of the day itself, may
be said to be the great occasion for fam
lily reunions. Here, as everywhere else,
the most important part of the profane
programme is of n purely astronomical
nature, and the cenone-i. g., "bi-supper'
takes the place of the Christmas dinner
of the following day, as held in England.
The appearance of the shops is brilliant
and striking in the extreme at this time
OF the year, the confectioners' windows
especially being full Of things the sweet
est and prettiest-sugar temples, snowy
cakes called paagialli. made of almonds,
raisns and flour "a redoubtable compost
ton, compared to which an honest Brit
ish plum pudding is as light as a wafer;
longitudinal papers filled with torrone
and nll sorts of other delicacies.
One of the first Christmas trees ever
introduced into Rome was for the little
Prince of Naples, heir to the Italian
throne. whose nursery governess was an
English lady, and since then the Teutonic
custom has gradually become a la mode
in Rome.-London Mail.

CHRISTMAS DAY.
How the Date Dec. 25 Came 10 BE Es-
.. tablfshed.

There is some disagreement as to the
origin of Christmas day. The legend runs
that in the earliest period of the Chris
tian church some communities of Chris
tians celebrated the festival Of Christmas
on Jan. l, others observing it on the 9th
Of that month. In some Of the eastern
churches it was kept about the time of
the Jewish Passover, near the end of
March. There is also some evidence OF
it's having been observed on Sept. -, be-
ing the Feast Of Tabernacles. In the
year A. ID. 325. when the Emperor Con
stantine legally established Christianity
in the Roman empire, Christmas was OBJ
served at the beginning of the new year.
while in the eastern church it was cele-
brated on Jan. 6. Pope Julius eventually
effected q compromise, and the 25th day
of December was established. These his
torical statements have been called in
question by some. but John Chrysostom,
the eloquent preacher mt ConstantinOple,
In the fourth century confirms then.
1t is a curious circumstance that some
difficulty has been found in accepting the
date of Dec. 25 as the probable day on
which Christ was born, because, the close
of December being usually the height of
the rainy season in Judaea, it Is said that
neither nOcks nor snepneTuS coulo nave
been Mt night in the fields Of Bethlehem.
This strange objection is considered Of
such Importance that it is incorporated in
almost every encyclopedia and dictionary
which treats OF Christmas. 1t Is one of
the curiosities Of literature. The present
writer has been in those parts at this
season Of the year and has found no diff
6eulty in keeping watch By night" in the
open fields of Palestine. What is possi-
BILE for western traveller, unused to liv-
ing in the open air, in the nineteenth cen
tury, must have been far easier for O
band of eastern shepherds Mt the begin
ming of the Christian era.

Mythology.
II the Scandinavian feast of JUL.
when they burned huge bonfires in honor
Of Thor, we discover the origin OF the
Yade log. The descendants Of the old
E0rsemen, who no doubt are responsible
for the custom in England, carefully
preserved half of the log with which to
be burned at next Yuletide, and so we
have the old English proverb. but 10
poetical form, by Herrick:
Part must be kept wherewith to tend
The Christmas log next year,
And where tits safely kept the hend
Can do no mischief here.
The Druidical contribution to the mod.
arm Christmas celebration originated in
the annual feast given in honor of the
Druid god Tutunus. who corresponds to
the Phoenician sun god Baal. His ia
vorite among all trees and plants OF the
forest was supposed to be the mistletoe.
The number three was held In reyer-
ence by these ancient people, and, be-
cause the leaves and berries of this par
asite grew in clusters Of three, this, in
addition to the glory OF being Tutanus'
favovite, made the plant sacred. and an
ntally there was q great festival given
in j, honor.
In the choice and selection Of the Yule
log the ash tree plays very important
part. In Scandinavian mythology 1t Is
Odin's tree and was most noble, for its
wood made the spear and the javelin.

About Christmas there is an ineffable
strangeness and mysticism. 1t seems pos
sessed of spirit as well as body.
This spirit seems redolent in the air, in
the strains of Christmas music, on the
evergreen and mistletoe and on the very
pealing Of the bells which food tn
world with melody seemingly gnrnered
through all the IL months since that sa-
cred night when heaven kissed the eartl
and Christ our Lord was born and the
angel choirs chanted. GLORY to God in

A strange superstition, which may owe
something of its origin to the associa-

tive Of the Nativity, obtains credence to
this day among the peasants Of Siberia
By them it is believed that a gift of
human speech and superhuman prophecy
descends upon the beasts OF the stall and
byre during the mystic hour that heralds
the Christmas dawn and that if one is
bold enough to hide beneath the straw
on such occasions he will hear his fate
for the coming year foretold by his do
mestic animals. A betrayal OF his pres
ence, however, entails certain destruc-
tion.-Pall Mall Gazette.

SACRED THORN TREE.
Strange Story of One That blossoms
Only at Chrlatmas.

~
Six miles northwest of the quiet little
episcopal city of Wells rises a lofty peak,
called by the Celtic natives of west Brit
ain tor" 1t is conspicuous for miles
around, with the tower of an ancient
chapel on it's top and with a neat little
country town and the ruins of q noble old
abbey.
Sufficient evidence remains to show
that the abbey was Of vast proportions,
occupying in all GO acres of ground. 1t
was founded by Saxon kings and further
endowed by the NOrmans and Plan
tagenets. The grand chancel and it's fine
chapels were built in the finest style of
later Norman architecture, but now little
more than crumbling walls and pillars
testify to the once great beauty Of the
abbey.
The porch of st. Joseph's chapel, how
ever, is in a fair state Of preservation.
Outside there grows the famous Glaston-
bury thorn that blossoms but for one day
in the year, and that Christmas day.
This tree has strange history.
During his long journey from Palestine
st. Joseph OF Arimathea visited the dis
trict, he and his IL companions having
been sent by St. Philip, the apostle, to
convert the then heather nation Of Brit
ain and TO cast out the Druid supersti'
ton.
st. Joseph and his followers found their
way to Glastonbury, then known as
"Yhiswytryn." They were all a-weary,
and, arriving on the summit Of the hill,
Joseph, who was using a hawthorn stick
as a walking staff, stuck it into the
ground, and it burst into bloom. The
present Glastonbury thorn is an offshoot
by continued grating Of st. Joseph Of
Arimathea's walking staff. - London

BULL FIGHTS IN PARIS.

Genuine Spanish bull fighting, with all it's attendant horrors, has, says the
 Paris correspondent of the Morning
 Post, come to the French capital at last. The arena will not, as a matter uf fact. be within the city walls, but at Enghen, which is only twelve minutes journey by train, and the Velo amour ces that the first corrida will take place on Sunday, October l. The arena will provide accommodation for ten thou sand spectators, and the management has secured the services of four mata- dores-the SpaniarGs Minute, Montes and Guerrerita, and Felix Robert, the only French matador who has ever giv- en an exhibition of his skill in Spain. The Velo, which expresses the greatest at this triumph for sport" declares that the opponents Of bull fighting twill be the first to go to the arena, to strengthen their Indignation and will come back convinced that it is not so very horrible. We say frank ly," adds the writer of the article, that bull fights were wanting among the di- versions of Paris, and it is difficult to why we should have had to wait so long for an arena.
