The Origin of santa Claus.

Santa Claus is of German origin.
This is true if only because that is the
German name for st. Nicholas. That
he is an old man is because in the an
cient pagan feasts in celebration of
the decay of the old year and the birth
of the new an old man played the prin-
cipal part Among the Greeks and Ro-
mans it was Saturn, the father of all
the gods, and among the Norsemen it
was Thor, who was long bearded and
white haired. That the saint is St.
Nicholas is due to the fact that that
venerable personage's feast day was
celebrated at about that period St.
Nicholas was a bishop of Myra, who
f1ourished early in the fourth century.
He is the patron saint of children and
schoolboys, and hence it was natural
that he should be a part of a celebra-
ton when the children received gifts
and when they were allowed to be

Because he's sick. He's only twelve.

"a Christmas tree stood in the

constantly changing throng of small
admirers exclaimed at it's magnifeence
and registered extravagant wishes be
fore it.
Children richly clad and full of ioy-
GUS anticipations, children in comfort
less rags, who knew Christmas only by
the sight of the happiness of others,
stood side by side and gazed with long
ing eyes at the bewildering array of
costly gifts and brilliant decorations,
A small girl of twelve or fourteen,
with face unnaturally old and sharp,
unsmiling eyes, critically examined the
tree in silence. Up and down, from
side to side, her keen gaze wandered.
Il bet it's empty at the back" she
finally muttered.
Poor child! Her brief experience had
already taught her the unreality and
falsity Of many glittering things She
stepped quickly into the vestibule where
she could see that part of the tree away
from the window. A sudden joy flashed
into her face.
Its true-that tree is true" she
whispered eagerly. 1.-THE back is as
good as the front"
She hesitated an instant and then
raised her clasped hands beseechingly.
"God," she cried, "send me tree for

Her intense longing made her voice
sharply imperative, and the first word
struck harshly on the ear of richly
dressed young lady who was passing
close to her.

Christmas In Rome.

A characteristic sight which precedes
a Roman Christmas is the SO called
cottio, or sale of fish by auction, which
is held at San Teodoro, near the forum
in the small hours of the morning, and
every year attracts large crowds of
buyers and sightseers. 1t is a sight
worth seeing, the vast circular market
literally packed with row upon row of
baskets, in which the scaly fry are
carefully arranged, the light glancing
off their many colored scales in a
thousand prismatic reflections, while
the owner of each stall shouts at the
top of his voice and the merry crowd
goes round laughing and bargaining
and trying to cheaper the fish, for at
Christmastide it often reaches fabulous
prices, and one is reminded of the ex-
travagance of the ancient Romans, one
Of whom is said to have paid 10000
sesterces for single gray mullet.-
