girl assentngly.

The unbending footman was still
more disgusted when he was directed
to make another round of the stores,
and his bearing was absolutely frigid
when he was required to carry most
unbecoming load OF bundles up the
stairs to the little home on Burnham

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-
clpal part Among the Greeks and Ro-
mans 1t 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 n bishop of Myra, who
flourished early in the fourth century.
He is the patron saint Of children and
schoolboys, and hence it was natural
that he should be part of celebra-
ton when the children received gifts
and when they were allowed to be
heard as we'll as seen."-New York
Mail and Express.

ChrIatmas In Rome.

A characteristic sight which precedes
. 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 slghtseers. 1t is 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
or their many colored scales in
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 1t 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 n single gray mullet.-
