SCOTTISH CHRISTMAS.
Festival Not So Popular ca I'm some
Countries.

Festival Not So Popular az I'm Some
Countries.
In Scotland they wish one another "a
merry Christmas" like the rest OF
Christendom, and exchange gifts, but
the festival Of the Nativity has moi
been popular among the Scottish peo-
pie, at least since the reformation, says
the Chicago Record. It is only in re,
cent years that Christmas has begun tc
be regarded as a holiday to be observed
with religious and social rites. The
winter festivities in Scotland in the
olden time consumed fully six weeks
before the sun entered Capricorn and
turned again with light giving power
in its apparent course.
The advent of the winter was mark,
ed by the Halloween celebration. This
was for many years one Of the mosi
distinctive and widely observed Of
Scottish festivals, especially among the
rural residents, who practiced witt
great fidelity divers superstitious rites
associated with it. But the picturesque
side OF the festival is now a thing OF
the past. The Yule festival, remnant
of the old pagan rites paid to the great
Scandinavian god Thor, is now repre-
sented by the Christmas roast turkey
and plum pudding, which have found
their way from the south across the
border, and during the Christmas fort
night much charming hospitality is
dispensed in house and hall. a happy
spirit is abroad, and rich and poor are
more or less affected by it.

Christmas Tnrs-

The great toy center of the world is
Bavaria. From the towns of Nurem-
berg, Fuerth and Sonneberg come nine
tenths of the toys made in Europe.
The famous French doll is made in
Nuremberg, as are also many fine me-
chanical contrivances, such as walking
dogs and cats and other animals with
natural fur, which, according to popu-
lar supposition, are the direct output of
the French capital.
They are a picturesque people, these
toymakers. Whole families and colo
MES of them are engaged in toymak-
ing. A father makes doll heads, for in
stance, and the other members Of the
family paint the features, afiix the wig
and assemble the parts Of the body.
The decorative painting Oh toy china
ware, wooden toys and blown glass
Christmas tree ornaments is done al
most exclusively By children.

For dinner table decorations as far
as coloring is concerned it is best to
keep to the warmer tints Avoid the
use of white by itself and keep to
shades of crimson, old gold OF even
bronze tones, the latter especially
where there is large display Of old
silver. The vases may be filed with
well berried holly points and mistletoe,
with Christmas roses as a sort Of un-
dergrowth to the various stands. Frost
ed branches and sprays are always
fashionable at this season and have a
very charming effect. Their beauty
may be much enhanced by a judicious
use of bright ribbon bows. Lamps and
candles must all have their shades to
match the principal coloring used in
the decoration. Tall tubes look very
well on large table. especially where
space is a considerations. e., where
the table is otherwise well laden with
dessert or with silver bowls of bon

Even while sat gazing the scene
slowly faded and out from the dim
mists that had infolded the figure near

second picture before me.
A slender, beautiful maiden stood in
the moonlight beneath the rustic perch
draped with honeysuckles that climbed
over the farmhouse door It was Daisy,
but child no longer. She wore a neat
but simple dress Of pale pink muslin,
and single white rose plueked from
the bush beside the doorstep adorned
her hair. Suddenly 4 firm step came up
the walk leading to the farmhouse. 1t

Joined her, and Daisy blushed, and they
went in and sat down together in the
moonlight by the west room window.
Eloquenee was not necessary to love in

he must leave at 8, but he is in no haste
tonight. Ten, half past 10, Il goes by,
and there they stand in the moonlight.
When they part, a tender kiss burns on
Daisy's cheeks and slender gold ring
CLEANS on her finger. She and Charles
are betrothed, and she goes to her
chamber to sleep the first dream of a
happy plighted love.
For moment stretch out my hands
toward the maiden in the farmhouse,

A turkey garnished with sausage has
very festive not to say bacehanalian
appearance. Three-quarters of an hour
before the cooking is finished festoon it
with strings Of link sausage These
you must turn from time to time so
that every part shall be as brown as
the bird itself. The better the favor
Of the sausage of course the finer the

will want giblet sauce made by stew
ing and mincing the giblets and adding
them to the gravy in the pan after the
fat has been removed.

CHRISTMAS OLD AND NEW

The century nears its closing year,
Yet Christmas bells are full and free
AS when the home halls rang with cheer
And grandpa kept the jubilee.
The stockings by the chimney deep
Were like yorr own, my pet Of three,
OF softest wool from white faced sheep
And buckled high above the knee.
The chimney, oh, it was SO wide
'TTould hold the gifts for fifty boys,
And Santa had an easy slide
When he came down with grandpa's toysi
The toys were not the dainty stuff
Your fingers grasp with childish glee,
But hemey, and a trifie rough
When grandpa was child Of three.
A Comforter" dyed green and rcd,
A knitted cap aud oYershoes,
OF seasoned hickory, sled,
Perhaps ball TOO big to lose.
But grandpa liked the Christmas then
And what old Santa brought to him
As really as the little men
Who see bright trees in parlors diE.
For love is love the great world DER;
Gods love the Bethlehem story tells
From year to year, from shore to shore,
Wherever ring the Christmas bells.
