CHRISTMAS IN FOREIGN LANDS.

Tn Scandinavia there is the greatest veneration for Yuletide, The courts are closed, old quarrels forgotten, feuds ad- justed. 4 pretty symbol of the spirit that reigns is the practice of placing in row every pair of shoes in each house. hold, so that during the year the family will live fin peace and harmony. Candles are left burning to show the way to Yule Trufnpte (the Christmas splriD bringing the gifts. One sets a cake of meal in the snow as a Christmas offering; for the birds A sheaf of wheat is placed on pole in front of each house to provide them with food. The family itself has no time to take a regular meal on the 24th, although baking and cooking begin about four weeks before. On the day of the celebration at noon the whole house. hold will assemble in the kitchen and dip a piece of bread in the ham broth. Then everybody has to prepase again for the Yuleklapp and the great supper following. After this games are played. They are usually interrupted by a knock at the door Four or five boys dressed in white enter. One carries star shaped lantern, and another an ornamented glass box containing two dolls, the Virgin and the Christ child. The boys sing Christmas carols Afterward appear masked per formers who do tricks and play panto- mines.
 Besides Scandinavia and Iceland, Eng land has most faithfully preserved the custom of the Yule log. It is a massive piece of wood, usually the ragged root of an oak, which is kept burning at Christmas time for twelve days. A piece is kept for the following year. It Was first lit in honor of the heather sun god; then the custom was transferred to signify the Eternal Light. The log is drawn In triumph from it's resting place amid shouts of laughter, every wayfarer doffing his hat as it passes. This is an example of the Yule song
 Part must be kept wherewith to tend
 The Christmas log next yeare,
 And where 'tis safely kept the f1end
 Can do no mischief there.
 In England a very important symbol or decoration is the mistletoe. It is cus- tomary for every young man to try to bring his beloved under the mtstletoe, where he is allowed to kiss her. For this custom we are indebted to Scandinavian mythology. The plant was dedicated to the goddess ,'Friga. It was the emplem of love- and every one who passed under it received kiss.
 St. Nicholas is especially venerated in Russia The 'Emperors usually bear his name In the rural life of Russia Christ mas evening is an important event. At sunset young and old assemble, forming I procession, and visit the village digna- taries. singing carols and receiving cop pers This part of the ceremony is called '.kolenda," which means begging for money or presents.

 In France we find a mixture of vari- ous customs. The up to date Parisian divides his Christmas dinner, the Ire veillon," into many courses, taking each at different place and reaching home for the last cup of coffee at breakfast time The hanging up of stockings Christmas night is a common French custom. The children receive their pres ents hidden in these, like the Roman chill dren at the time of the saturnalia- The Provencals in the south of France vener- ate the Yule log, called there "Cacho flo"
