Eight Millions For Toys.

The real amount of cash money paid
out in the United States alone for toys
that on Christmas morning gladden. the
hearts of American children is con-
servatively estimated at $S,000,000
This means about 60 cents apiece for
the something like 100000 of five to
twelve year old children. The children
of no other country on the globe have
anything like so lavish an average
amount Of money expended for toys
for them, not even the children of Ger
many-Germany the home of toymak-
ing and toy giving. Verify, indeed, the
lot of the American child has been cast
in the richest sort of clover when it
comes to toy getting and not few 9th
er things in the argain.-Cincinnati

CHRISTMAS TREES.
From Time ImmemoriaI Part of the
Holiday Celebration.

From time immemorial a tree has
been a part of the Christmas celeDra-
ton. 1t may be seen outside the tradi-
tional managers in the missals and early
paintings of the preraphaelite Italian
school. In the tree or near it are seen
angels in flowing robes singing out OF
a scroll of Illuminated paper the
''pcace on Earth and Good VIII 10
ward Men" or GLORY. Glory, Halle
luiah.'
Tie correct German Christmas tree
always has an angel or a ChristIind en-
the topmost branch, with a tinsel star
at tie end Of a staff like 4 pantomirlc
fairy. ana ii the tree belong; to a vesy
orthodox family there is usually at is
foot a small toy group representing tie
Saviour's birth in the stable ut Bethle-
hem.
The flights on the tree are said to be
of Jewish origin. In the ninth month
of the Jewish wear, corresponding near
" t. our December. ana on the TWEEN
tv-fifth day, the Jews celebrated the
feast of dedication Of their temple. 1t
had been desecratea On that day By
Antiochus. Ii WAS Dedicated by Ju-
das Maccabeus. and then, according te
the Jewish legend, sufficient oil was
found in the temple to last for the
seven branched candlestick for seven
DAYS. and it would have taken seven
days to prepare new oil. Accordingly
the Jews were wont on the 18th of ks
leu in every house to light candle on
the next day two, and so on till on the
seventh and last day of the feast seven
candles twinkled in every house
1t is not easy to fix the exact date OF
the Nativity, but it fell most probably
on the last day of Kisleu, when every
Jewish house in Bethlehem and Jesu-
salem was twinkling with lights. 1t i;
worthy of notice that the German name
for Christmas is Weihnacht Ghe night
of dedication), as though it were asso-
ciated with this feast. The Greeks al
so call Christmas the feast of lights,
and, indeed, this was also the name
given to the dedication festival Cha
nuka by the Jews.-New York Mail

/ Spottsfield, a rising manufacturing
city, three years before, after serving
as curate in large city parish. He
had transformed his new congregation
from disgruntled, quarreling com

in each other and respecting his Christ

a pair of interested, laughing eyes

the poor and sick of Spottsfield for her

John Hare met often while on excur-

half hearted. hopeless and unusual
manner. Only Il few hundred of them,
with appropriate banners. went in pro-
cession from Trafalgar square to the
cathedral where they arrived during
the progress Of the service and up the
steps of which they marched, singing
the "MarseillaiZe." Here the molly
crowd was joined by the contingentS
from other quarters and all to

gan filing into the cathedral silently
and respectfully, making an incongru-
Gus picture in contrast with the fash
ionably-dressed Worshipers.
Such a scene has not been witnessed
at st. Paul's since 20 years ago, when
John Burns, now president of the To-
cal government board, led a similar
demonstration to the cathedral.
Although the preacher made sympa-
thctic reference to the problem; of the
unemployed the men became tired long
before the service ended and most of
them filed ont. Some of the leaders de
livered addresses from the steps and
then the demonstration was quietly dis
