Christmas Traditions.

One Of the old beliefs about mistletoc

maiden caught beneath the glistening
branch had to submit to the penalty Of
a kiss, just as she does now.
Each happy. youth who gained a for

waXen berries from the bough. When
every berry was gone, the mistletoe was
supposed to have no further charm, and
maidens could pass under it with <im-
punity.
The custom Of giving Christmas pres
ents is attributed by some to the offer
ings of gold, frankincense and myrrh to
our Savior by the three wise men of
the East, but historians say that it came

Christmas in BernhOlm.

The natives Of a curious little island
in the Baltic called Bernholm have =
Iuletide custom which offers curious
blend of Christianity and paganism. On
Christmas eve they spread "Christmas
table, upon the upper end of which is
laid long loaf Of rye bread. In the loaf
before 1t IS baked are cut two transverse
grooves, three inches from each end.
Upon the loaf a large cheese and various
articles of food are laid.
This is the so-called 'Julegalt." It re-
mains untouched throughout the Christ
mas season, and when the table is not in
use the cloth is gathered up from the other
end and laid over the ''galt.'' It is be-
deyed that, the ''galt'' is relic of the

The sad fate of the light keepers at
Suuaw island, who will probably be Grip
Piled for life as the result of the exposure
incurred while clinging to their capsized
hoat, on which two women persisted, is
causing criticism of the government for
rot sending the lighthouse tender around
TO the islands each fall, to remove the
keepers and their families. The criticism
is just, and the Treasury Department
should take the matter under considera-
ton. The revenue cutters and the light
house tenders might divide the work, and
do it promptly, thus avoiding disasters
such as that which befell the SQuaw
island keepers.

H ANG UP THE BABY'S STOCKING.

Hang up the babys stocking;
Be sure you don't forget,
The dear little dimpled darling!
She ne'er saw Christmas vet;
But I've told her all about it,
And she opened her big, blue eyes,
And I'm sure she understands it,
She looked SO funny and wise.
Dear. What tiny stocking!
1t doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's,
Away from the frost and cold
But then for the baby's Christmas
1t will never do at all;
Why, Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half 50 small.
l know what We'll do for baby
I've thought of the very best plan
~ borrow a stocking of grandma,
The longest that ever l can;
And you'll hang it by mine dear mother,
Right here in the corner 50.
And write a letter to Santa,
And faSten it on to the toe
Write: This is the baby's stocking
That hangs in the corner here
You have never seen her, Santa,
For She only came this year;
But she's just the blessedest baby,
And now, before you go,
just cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clean down to the toe

The Board of Education Of New York
has surprised the Board of Estimate Of
that city with a request for $14,O31 1928
for new school sites and houses. One Of
the items of the request is an appropria-
ton of $469, 900 for high school build
ing. This item has caused the comptrol-
Ter to read a lecture to the Board of Edu-
cation on the practice of building palaces
for schools. The trouble with boards of
education generally is that they feel that
they are not called upon to economize.
They put that duty on the bodies which
arrange the budget. There would be
more money for school buildings if such
structures We're more modest in design,
and if school boards would economize in
the management Of the school systems.

QUEEN MARY'S CHRISTMAS.
1t was the First in Eng1and-St.
Nicholas was Real Man.


The first English child to enjoy a
Henry VIII, who was afterwards
known as Bloody Mary" When she was
years old a rosemary bush, hung with
red jewels and silver spangles, and light
ed with flashlights, was set up in the
great hall Of the castle, for the amuse-
such cruel Queen. From this little
rosemary bush the custom spread until
now no English Christmas is complete
without the Christmas tree.
In Germany the children believe that
the Sllttering tree with its bright baubles
Kindlein, or kriss Kringie, who visits
the earth on Christmas eve, and drops
down the chlmneys gifts for the good
and obedient.
st. Nicholas is the patron saint of Rus
STA. and it is interesting to note that this
jolly parsonage was not legendary, but
was a real man and lived about 300 a.
This kindly saints life was full Of
good deeds and generous acts that in all
civilized countries his name is typical OF
kindness and generosity. He is some
times called "PelSnichol'' or ST. Nicholas
with the few. because in the far nothern
that Saint Nick. clad in fur from top to
toe. flies around the world in a sleigh
drawn by feetfooted reindeer The Gus
tom Of hanging up the stocking on Christ
mas originated from a kindly deed of this
saint. who was bishop Of Asia Minor. A
friend of his, a poor nobleman, had
three beautiful daughters who were I'M
able to marry advantageously because
they had no lands or houses to bring to
husband. Jolly St. Nicholas knew OF
their sad plight. One Christmas eve the
eldest daughter was surprised to have
purse of gold, shaped as slipper, thrown
through the window of her room. The
next night a second daughter received
similar gift, and the third night the
Youngest daughter surprised good Nicho-
las thrown a stocking filled with gold in
to her window. Thereafter it was the
custom for the young people to hang up
stockings on st. Nicholas night to re-
ceive the gifts. supposed to come from
good Saint Nick.
When Christianity spread abroad the
infectious spirit of cheer and good will
at the winter sOlstice survived in our
Christian festival. The leaders of the
early church, however, sought to infuse
into these festivals some Christian sig
ni1icance, and blend together the cher
ished customs with the story Of Christs
nativity.
This they did 30 successfully that, al
though the nature of the early festival
has been completely transformed by
Christianity, we still deck our houses and
churches with green's and suspend gifts
from heavily-laden Christmas trees

America Recouped the Cold Supply.

The amount Of gold which has been
coined since first it was used as a me-
dunn of exchange is so enormous that no
one would dare compute it with any at
tempt at accuracy. Yet the visible gold
supply of the world today is only about
$4,000, 100000 in coin and bullion When
America was discovered the worlds stock
of gold had got down to $17O,OOO,OOO,
and the yearly supply was just about
enough to meet the loss by wear. The
discovery of America let loose upon the
world the boarded gold of the Peruvian
and Mexican empires, and never since
