Fourth of July Chris tmases.

In other days the Catholic and
Episcopal churches celebrated Christ
mas much as Americans now OBJ
serve the glorious Fourth. Roman
candles. skyrockets, firecrackers and a
general rejoicing and noisy hilarity
marked the day sacred to the birth Of
the Prince Of Peace. The idea was
that the occasion was joyful one and
men should vociferously attest their
happiness. Echoes Of these old cele-
brations are still heard In portions Of
the south which were settled by the
cavaliers. Under the reformation,
however, and especially under PurI-

~ NE Of the numerous advantages
enjoyed by royal personages,
49, an advantage, too, which has
not been greatly exploited, Is
1.-THE power to give to any object dis
pensed as a Christmas gift, no matter
how trivial it may be, distinct and
abiding value. 1t is related of one of
the mediaeval pontiffs that on a GER
service rendered him by young prince
of the Bergia family that he begged
him to name some suit,Nte reward
"Cone. my child" lie suggested in
sinuatingly. 'sTeil me what l can do
to please you. Don't be afraid to put
my libcrclity to Il test. It's the blessed
Christmas season. you know
His youthful highness sighed deep
ly, but did not seem able to find the
words to frame his request.
Courage, my FRIEND" persisted his
holiness. Il am in the mood for Civ
ing. Ask confidently, and l should ad-
wise you 10 ask something more sub
stantial than my blessing"
The young Borgia realized that the
opportunity VAS golden. At that time
the temporal power of the Roman
pontiff WAS 50 great that kingdoms
were at his disposal. The prince knew
all that, but it did not tempt him.
''Yoyr Holiness" he faltered, pros
trating hi,lseif. II beg you to give me
a lock Of your hair
At this unexpected request the pope
seemed incredible that Borgia could
be satisfied With such sentimental
requital, and vet the young fellow
seemed to he in earnest.
''Why do you select such worthless
thing!" his holiness demanded.
"Olf, do not refuse mev' the prince
expostulated. Think of its value as a
relic after your holiness Is canonized!"
The pontiff smiled grimly. Then he
put his right hand upon his head and
sighed long and rather mournfully. He
had some hair remaining, but scarcely
enough to serve as a relic.
"As you WILL" he groaned, "but /
had rather You had asked me for the
kingdom of the Two Sicilies''
Some of the Christmas presents ex-
changed by latter day royalty are al
most absurd in their practicality. For
many years the gentle and well belov-
ed Plus IX. was in the habit Of ex,
changing Christmas gifts with the
equally amiable Victoria of England
The pope invariably sent package of
specially prepared and exquisitely
scented snuff, with an autograph letter
extolling its virtues as remedy for
catarrh and kindred disorders. This
standing gift was sometimes accom-.
panied by few jars of wine made
from fruit taken from particular vine

neglected to provide itself with a por-

be had for the asking, and a hint Is
sufficient The kaiserin Is liberal
and thoughtful Christmas benefactress.
She makes it a point to give some
thing of value to every child Of royal
lineage in Christendom, and that means
much labor and discrimination. The
children of royal lineage in the German
empire alone are quite numerous
enough to absorb fortune, and 1t Is
reputed that the generous royal lady
spends $4,000 every year In this admi-
rable way.
The present sultan of Turkey, with
all his traditional hatred Of the giaOur,
has fallen into the habit of sending
Christmas gifts to some Of the Chris
tian courts. These remembrances con-
sist for the most part Of jars of pre-
served rose leaves and Levantine sweet
meats prepared by his own confection-
er. The aged emperor Of Austria sends
a liberal gift of priceless Tokay to his

queen of Denmark, the ''mother-in law
Of Europe who is an inveterate knit

Christmas he sent to Queen Alexandra
n choice selection of cheeses.
AS systematic dispenser of Christ
mas cheer It Is probable that the Ger
man emperor heads the list OF royal
givers. With his customary orderli-
ness and attention to detail he begins
to plan his benefcent campaign long
before the dawn Of the holiday season.
On a slip Of paper which he keeps con-
cealed in a private cabinet he notes
down in his neat uncial script as they
occur to him the names Of the various
persons whom he intends to remember
and the amount he expects to expend
on each Of them.
