A Russian Christmas.

In Russia the boys are the chief
celebrators of Christmas eve, and
they disguise themselves in the forms
of animals-wolves, bears, ostriches,
tigers and cameleopards, and roam
the streets until the small hours.
To enter a dwelling at their pleas
ure and sit at the family table is no
breach of decorum at such a time,
and often the children of home are
startled to see a wolf or bear enter,
take a seat at the supper table and
eat as a wolf or bear only can eat.
Sometimes long professions of
these animals parade the streets with
bands and chorus of singers; but
the most interesting of these Christ
mas performances is the religious
play, in which boys take part. Upon
this scene the Russian peasant looks
with profound interest and venera-
ton, and the population generally
throw money to these performers with
generous heart and lavish hand.

fact that the evening of the day of the

the home of the deceased, six miles

Christmas in Mexico.

That Mexico is strictly a fiesta
loving nation is attested by the fact
that she has more feast days than cal
endar days, says writer in the Led
ger Monthly. A celebration that con-
sumes two weeks of these feast days
is the observance of Christmastide-
semi-religious celebrations that begin
upon December 18th.
The hustle and confusion down in
the plazas and out in the numerous
booths and stalls that have sprung
up, seemingly by magic, are almost
deafening with the voices of persons
engaged ID Christmas shopping,
And not only the. cities, but insig-
nificant "pueblos' whose inhabitants
are too poor to HE themselves to larg'
er places make grand preparations for
the throngs that are sure to fill their
streets just before Christmastide. And
what heterogeneous humanity
swarms at the various booths, like sc
many bees around hive!

NEW YEARS DAY IN GREECE.
Time for Gifts, Froics and General
Re ioicing.

With members of the Greek church
Christmas is holy day but not holt
day, and therefore New Years day
takes its place as time of gifts, frol.
les, family gatherings and general re.
joicing. The women generally give
presents of beautiful embroidery,
often their own work, but the father
of the family, however poor, must give
his wife and each child present Of
money. The children's money is
placed in little earthen jar and kept
so when the child grows up there is
a snug little sum for his start in life.
The gentlemen of the weather. classes
call on their fair friends and must al
ways take a present. The caller is
offered sweetmeats, glass of water, a
cup of Turkish coffee, but no wine or
liquor. When he leaves he finds the
servants drawn up in a row, and he
presents them each with piece of
money. This is repeated in every
house he visits, and he must visit all
his friends on New Years day or be
forever deprived of their friendship.
He must also give his own servants
presents of money. The children have
few cheap toys, candles and dried
fruit. Watch service is held, and on
returning from church the head of the
family breaks pomegranate on the
floor to insure good fortune and
health. They then have feast of all
kinds of nuts, candied fruits, raisins,
| figs and dates. Some nutshells are
thrown into the four corners of the
room to blind the evil one. At night
| they have an immense cake in which
are two coins. 1t is set upon the table
and each person receives piece. The
ones having the coins are elected king
and queen of the feast and are crown.
ed with much ceremony. The young
girls bite off a piece of their cake
wrap it in blue paper, and place it
under their pillow, to dream on; the
man they dream of is their future hus
| band.

of the wind-swept way. Slowly they

their horses into the farmyard and

in all and the procession was solemn
one.
AS they rode along through the
crunching snow, facing a biting De-
cember wind, they spoke softly of the
virtues of Hiram Squres. Even his
one gross fault, an habtual use of
qualifying adjectives, frequently sig
nificant of blasphemy, was forgotten.
He was good man and God rest him!
This was the sentiment of brotherly
expression voiced by those who had
known him best
Nearer and nearer they drew to the
snug farm residence where grief, like
Niobe, all tears, was domiciled, and
where the Black Camel of Death knelt
at the gate in mute distress!
Meanwhile Boreas and Jack Frost

Xmas Fare 500 Years AGO,

In the old days the standard Christ
mas dishes were the peacock and the
boar's head. Each of these dishes was
served up with every circumstance of
Gompous ceremony, preceded by trum-
pets and followed by a numerous
train of ladies'. knights and squires.
The boar's head was brought into the
hall by a server, sometimes mounted
on a horse, who sang a carol as he
placed the dish upon the table.
The peacock, the food of lovers
and "the meat of lords" was usually
served in all its natural splendor of
plumage, and this was doubtless the
masterstroke of the chef de cuisine.
The royal bird was "eten roysh z~l-
gere," and no expense was spared
over him. According TO Massinger in
his City Madame they used the car.
cases of three wethers, bruised for
gravy, to make sauce for a single pea
cock The boar's head was served by
a man, but the ceremony of distrib-
uting the peacock was usually reserv-
ed for the noblest lady present at the
feast.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREES.
Long Central Figure of Festivals the
World Over.

World over
Most of us know that the Christ.
mas tree comes to us direct from
Germany; and we know of the tree
worship of the Druids which obtained
in England and France, and which
probably had some influence on the
later use of the tree in the Christmas
festival.
But we do not all know that SINH
lar festival, with the tree as crown
ing feature, is observed among many
heather nations. Our tree, with it's
small candles, it's gilded nicknacks
and toys for the children, is direct
descendant of this old festival which
was held inv honor of the sun.
Traces of it exist in Iceland, where
the Service tree" is found adorned
with burning lights during Christmas
night. The English yule log is a
faint survival of this festival.
But it goes further back than all
this-to China. 1t has been shown
that tree with 100 lamps and flow
ers was placed in the steps of the au-
dience hall.
This appears in the records of Prin-
cess Yang, who lived 713715 B. c..
and who caused a 100-lamp tree 80
feet high to be erected on mountain.
