 Everybody knows everybody else in the celestial burg of Paradise.

If their pocketbooks were as big as their hearts, the people of Paradise would represent an aggre- gation of millionaires.

And the Christmas Light shines
steadiest, even as of old, over the
place where the young children are.
1t is not by the might of armies nor
by the power of kings, but by the
simple life and the simple mind, that
greatness comes to the world. A
little child shall lead them. Once in
the noisy round of the year the
hearts of men are young again and
their voices Tilt the Christmas carols.
Not for one day, but for all the days,
and for the darker nights OF the hard
and troubled after-years, the home
light of Christmas is lamp to the
feet and a light TO the path. Not shy
and evanishing. as though 1t were
lost and out of place in world like
this, but with the mild persistence of
strength and right, the Christmas
Star still marks for men the way back
to the place of the Child. The mys-
tic light and the song of Peace and
Goodwill have kept unfaded the Wis
ion splendid, and touched the lowhest
lot with life's wonder and bloom.

considered too broad nowadays, but It
must be understood that at this time
the plays had passed out of the
church. and were now acted on the
movable platforms in the public
streets. This frolic is followed by the
serious scene. An angel appears,
singing the Gloria after which he
announces that Christ is born at Beth
lehem.
So the shepherds go to Bethlehem
and make such presents to the Holy
Child as lie within their powers. One
presents a bob of cherries" another
bird and the other tennis ball.
"Acts of the Apostles"
During the reign of Francis |. in
France, the presentation of a grand
mystery of the "Acts of the Apos-
ties" given during the Christmas sea-
son, was made the occasion of spec
tacular proclamation in Paris. In an
account of this procession around the
different quarters of the French CAPT
tai. which is found in rare little
tract published in Paris in 1541. we
learn that the procession started out
at s o'clock on the morning OF Dec.
16. attended by Officers OF justice,
plebeians and others having the regu-
lation of these, rhetoricians and gen
tlemen of the long robe, as well as

1.-THE Slaughter Of the Innocents."
Another early Christmas play has
been found in an old Orleans manu-
script. It has for it's subject "The
Slaughter of the InnOcents," and was
no doubt, frequently played during
the Middle Ages in one or another
French cathedral. In France and on
the continent generally the plays
produced were usually the effort of
local learned DOCTOR although at
times copies of popular dramas were
made for use by neighboring towns.
In the play just noted Unterfectio
Puerorum) the part of the innocents
was taken by the choir boys, and the
other characters, including the wom-
en-, were represented by monks. In
one part of the church was erected

the names of the places represented.
Like most of the mystery plays, the
story is briefly told and numerous
anthems are interpolated for the
benefit of the choristers.
Wakefield Shepherds Play.
Toward the end of the play the boys
(the innocents having arisen from the
dead) go into the choir; Herod's
throne is then taken by an actor, who
represents Archelaus; an angel bids
the Holy Family to return from
Egypt, and then the precentor begins
the "Te Deum," and SO the perform
ance ends.
Some Of the finest comic touches to
be found in these old religious plays
are to be found in the Wakefield Shep-
herds play, written about the year
400. The first scene opens with
three shepherds watching their flocks,
all of them complaining of the cold
night. A character called Max takes
part in their rude sport, and upon
opportunity steals sheep. Maks
theft is subsequently discovered, and
he is soundly thrashed, a piece of
business which was certain to
arouse laughter in medieval audi

No festival of the whole year Is SO
generally honored as Christmas, and
by reason of its general observance
there has crept into 1t so many GUS
toms and practices that 1t Ia almost
past any ones ability to catalogue
them. There Is no other festival per
lhaps. SO old, and yet so ever new, as
this one is; no other day in the long
year SO wistfully looked forward to
with anticipations of happiness: but
it has changed like everything else.
and is very different day from what
il once was.
Christmas customs, or rather some
of those adapted to this time of year,
are far more ancient than the festival
itself. 1t is common knowledge that
the mlstlGtoe, for instance, Is a
Christmas fixture, derived from the
Druids, who are also responsible for
the Yule clog or log. The custom Of
singing carols formed an important
part of the days celebration under
the Saxon kings. and the mince pies
are believed to have been remnant
Of cakes consumed at the Roman win
ter sports, always held at this time of
the year. In order to do no violence
to the customs OF the people, the
primitive Church selected the time
of the Roman Saturnalia for It's
Christmas celebration. Almost any
time Of the year might have been sell
ected, for there Is no authority for
Dec. 25 as the date OF Christ's birth.
In the Middle Ages.
While the yule log was burned
upon the hearth upon Christmas eve,
and maids were kissed under mistle-
toe in the dark ages. Christmas was
still religious festival. In order to
make 1t attractive to the people. and
also to instruct them In the Bible
stories. plays were produced with
great splerdor in many great cathe-
oral.
As the liturgy Of the church was in
Latin. so, too, were the Christmas
plays, but they were easily under
stood by the people, for even IL the
words escaped them the costume and
the action conveyed a deep meaning.
As a rule, there was little literary
merit in the plays, having been writ
ten with the sole idea of CO ,veying in
struction in pleasing manner. and
often containing farcical scenes,
which one may well believe were
well received by the crowds that All

valleys are dull with gloom and the
weeping rain; but high over all there
shines a light that never goes out,
and down through the shadow there
floats the rainbow that never with
draws.
The toiler turns from his lonely
furrow, and in that Christmas Light
finds the strength to endure and the
hope TO overcome. Not yet has the
MONDAY come for him. The curse
of Cain is still unified, and in the
sweat of his brow he eats his bread.
Selfishness and greed and wasting
strife still add to the primal burden
and make the heart less brave. Glass
wars with class and man with man
in the inevitable quest FOR enough or
in the unsatisfying lust for excess.
The hands are hard with the tools of
toll and the hearts are hollow with
the pretense of trade, and. when. all
is over, to what purpose has it been?
But. without faring. without fading,
the love-light Of the Bethlehem Star
leads to the life of Peace and Good
will.

GERMANS IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
Fatherand Wants information as to
Its Wandering Sons.

The German government has made
an inquiry to ascertain the number of
people of German birth who are liV-
ing in foreign countries. The figures,
based on the German census of 1900
and on the latest census of enc. of the
other principal countries, supplement-
ed in some cases by special isve8tiga-
ton, have recently been published.
1t appears that 3,029,514 persons of
German birth live in countries other
than Germany; that 10000 not OF
German birth have acquired German
citizenship and 700.710 living in for
eign countries are reported as having
retained German citizenship.
Compared with earlier statistics, the
number of Germans in almost all Eu-
ropean countries have increased, while
the numbers in the United States, En-
gland, Canada, Chile and Argentina
have decreased.

he Ndzt, pu7 bEMMerdNel0dT'

of Hilarius, monk of the twelfth
century, who is said to have been an
Englishman, and who is known to
have been pupil of the great Abel
ard. OF the three mystery plays
which he is thought to have written
in collaboration with Jordanus and
Simon, probably brother monks, two
were evidently played during the
Christmas season, namely. The I'M
age of st. Nicholas" most likely pro-
duced on that saints day, Dec. 6, and
"The History of Daniel" which seems
to have been intended for Christmas
presentation.
"The Image of st. Nicholas" shows
more real dramatic ability in its con-
struction than these early productions
usually do. for, while its plot is not
complicated, there Is undoubtedly a
plot. In brief, the story is as fol-
lows: An actor representing an i'm
age of st. Nicholas stands in shrine
and discovers half dozen robbers,
who have stolen a treasure box which
had been hidden in the shrine for safe
keeping by barbarian. The latter
returns, and, finding his treasure
gene, bewails his loss, and, whipping
the image, demands the return Of the
goods. The image then goes to the
robbers, and telling them that they
will not thrive with the stolen goods,
they give up the treasure to its owner.
The latter, out of gratitude, kneels
to the image and adores it, but the
saint then appears to him and bids
him to worship God alone and praise
only the name of Christ. The bar
barian Is then converted and closes
the piece with alteration.
1.-THE History Of Daniel"
1.-The History of Daniel is a piece
in two acts, and was, no doubt, pro-
duced with considerable spectacular
effect for the time. In the first act
we are shown Belshazzar's Feast,
and in the second. which deals with
Darius. King of the Modes and Per-
SLAMS, we are shown Daniel denounc-
ed and sent to the den OF lions. At
Daniels prayer there shall appear an
angel of the Lord In the den. having a
sword. who shuts the mouth of
the lions" Darius, finding Daniel
saved, puts the latter's envious ac-
cusers in his place and leads Daniel
to his throne. ordering the people to
adore the true God. Daniel then de-
