IN ALSACE:

The simple minded peasants of the
province of Alsace have a Christmas
custom which is followed nowhere else.
The day is a religious festival and
mass is attended by everybody. Later
in the day the children are given pres
ents, which usually consist of nothing
more than fruits. nuts and sweetmeats.
All day the children eagerly await the
coming of the Christ child, a young
girl dressed in white and wearing a
gilt paper crown set round with burn
ing tapers. In one hand she swings a
silver bell and in the other she bears
basket filed with all sorts of sweet
meats. Closely following her comes
the devil-"Hans Trapp" he is called
by the children. He frightens the
children and asks in a rruff voice for all
those who have been bad during the
year. But the Christ child intercedes
for the bad children and finally dis
tributes the gifts to all alike.
IN AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA.
In Austria and in Russia Christmas
is religious holiday. but the children
are not forgotten and presents are al
ways prepared for them. There is also
the Christmas feast which is an occa-
sion of joy and hilarity. In Austria
particularly the celebration is very
similar to that in Germany, although
not so elaborate.
In both of these countries, particu-
larly in the Tyrol, a strange belief
exists that on Christmas eve all ami
mails are given the power of speech
and know that the celebration of the
nativity is at hand. In the southern
country people believe that the bees
sing in honor of Christ's coming.
IN NORWAY AND SWEDEN.
In the Scandinavian country Christ
mastide is a time of great rejoicing
and true good will to men," There
is little public celebration, but in the
home the day is a great one. On
Christmas eve every member of the
household bathes to be ready for the
coming of Christ. The Bible is read
and prayers said. In the window is
placed candle to guide Kristine, who
corresponds with our Santa Claus, to
the house. At bedtime the entire fam
lily, great and small, place their shoes
in row before the fireplace. They
are not only to receive the presents
which Kristine is to bring, but it is be-
lieved that they bring peace and har-
mony during the year. Christmas day
is usually spent in outdoor sports and
the evening is devoted to feasting,
dancing and a general good time.
IN SERVIA.
In Servia one of the peculiar Gus
toms observed is the roasting of the
Christmas pig. Every householder
invites his family and friends to as
sist in this operation. A large pig is
placed on a spit over an open fire and
slowly roasted. When it is done it
is eaten with great rejoicing.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-12-25

ems, sheep, horses. stars and beasts.
They are cooked in fancy pans that
have been passed down in the family
for generations.
At sunset on the day before Christ
mas the church bells ring and every
one goes to church. Even in the coun-
try the peasants walk miles to attend
this Christmas service. Meanwhile the
Christmas tree which, by the way,
originated in Germany, has been trim
med and lighted. and on the return
from the church the children are admit
ted to the room where it stands, brave
in its decorations and its lights. The
presents are arranged about the room
| and at the foot of the tree is minia-
ture representation of the manger at
Bethlehem with the Christ child, the
| holy mother the shepherds and the
wise men. In the celebration which
follows the lighting of the tree the ser
wants and all members of the house
hold are included.
In southern Germany a quaint and
pathetic custom still prevails. On the
night before Christmas the graves of
the little ones who have gone are dec
GRATED with wreaths of holly and
green's and tiny Christmas trees light
ed with candles are placed on the
graves. Other little children sing car
OILS and the whole scene is beautiful
one.
IN FRANCE.
French children do not look forward
81 4 10 II
their English and German cousins. Save
for the religious services theret is
little celebration except in some of the
border provinces and in Paris, the
gayest city in the world. All over
France the children the night before
Christmas place their highly-polished
shoes in rows before the fireplace,
where they may be filled by Jesus
Bambin," who is supposed to come
in the night attended by host of an
gels bearing books and toys for the
good children.
Christmas eve in Paris is a sight long
to be remembered. From the Church
of the Madeline to Port st. Martin,
the boulevards are brilliantly lighted
and lined with little booths where
everything imaginable is sold. 1t is
the custom of all Parisans to spend
an hour or two in this fair on Christ
mas eve, and the jostling crowd is a
very interesting sight. At midnight
mass is held in all the great churches,
attended by thousands of worshippers.
As the clocks strike u the host is
elevated, the hundreds of bells burst
out into joyous peals, the organs roll
forth bursts of music and the affairs
become masses of light and flowers.
On Christmas day the theaters are
open afternoon and evening, and great
merry crowds attend them. The Latin
quarter has its own celebration on
Christmas nignt. Enormous dinners
are served in the student quarters and
these are usually followed by balls.

Christmas in Mdny Lands.

The celebration of Christmas is we'll
night worldwide and universal. in
almost every corner of the world on
this day are celebrations of JOY and
throughout all the world it is the great
children's day. And every country
under the sun has its own way Of cele-
brating the day.
IN ENGLAND
England is the home Of the Christ
mas celebration. The celebration is
more elaborate there than in any other
quarter of the globe The celebration
lasts for IL days, ending in a. blaze
of glory on the 18th night. OF course
the celebration does not last during
all these days, although a few centuries
ago it did, but elaborate ceremonies
are carried cut throughout the time.
Before retiring for the night on
Christmas eve the stockings Of the
children are hung by the fireplace in
expectation of the visit Of st. Nicholas
Early in the morning the little ones
are awakened by the waits, who sing
under the windows of the rich. After
the gifts are found and breakfast Is
over, comes church and round of
friendly visits In the evening comes
the crowning feature of the day. the
dinner. The boar's head, the good old
English roast beef and last of all the
plum pudding, combine to form feast
which must be eaten to be appreciated.
In the evening comes the lighting of
the yule log and all sorts of Christmas
games, ending with the dancing of the
"Sir Roger de Coverly," in which all,
from the oldest to the youngest, join.
IN SCOTLAND.
In Scotland little attention is paid
to Christmas as a festival except in
the large cities, where celebrations
are held.
IN IRELAND.
Ireland celebrates Christmas in an
elaborate manner. There is feasting
and gayety and masqueraders; both
men and women fill the streets Of cities
and towns. Religious services are held
Christmas eve and all Christmas morn
ing. The afternoon and evening are
given over to fun.
IN GERMANY.
Next to England, Germany celebrates
Christmas more deliberately than any
other country. "Wiehnachten' it is
called in Germany, and it is the one
great day of the year. Two weeks be-
fore Christmas the "Christmarkt' is
established in every city and village
This is Christmas market where in

Turkey Changes Hands
at Alleys Last
Night

''Who said turkey in this crowd?'
was the slogan at the bowling alleys
last night. And, of course, just as
soon as anyone did say. the word tur-
key he had to either put up the said
feathered biped or 60 way back to the
weedlets along the outskirts of almost
any place.
Perhaps more choice large turkeys
changed hands last night on the bowl
ing matches than did 'Tumwater" The
night of the bowling contest between
the team by that name and the Dutch
Jakes.
For the past month some of the gen
tie bowlers have been having all sorts
of fun telling one another what they
would do on Christmas eve. They did
it all right too, if the crowds and the
arguments at the alleys last night are
to be taken as any criterion. Such a
buzz and uproar was never heard 1t
those places before, excepting on the
night of the contest between Walla
