ANO Subslltutti IollC luSb-dS- boOus
was the Bishop Of Myra i'm Lycia.
who died about 326 \ ID. Ills personal
history is almost entirely unknown.
but numerous legends show him TO
have been "a most generous and kind
ly man.
Originally children hung up their
stockings on St Nicholas Eve CDcc.
GthJ Young women in converts all
over Europe also placed their stock
ings at the door of the Abbess. This
was an adoption To the custom of
young women praying TO St Nicholas
To provide them with good husbands
and marriage dowry. According 10
tradition. St Nicholas under cover OF
the night, threw three purses Of gold
into the house OF noblcman who
was unable to provide for his three
daughters. The money was their
dowry and enabled them to marry.
Some claim that the shape Of the
purses Of that day. which were mucn
like stockings, gave raise to the Gus
tom of hanging the stockings, for st.
Nicholas. Gradually the hanging up
of stockings on st. Nicholas Eve
ceased and the custom became incor.
porated into our Christmas festivities.
Santa Claus reindeer are supposed to
have emanated from an old Spitzbcr.
gen legend. BY this tale reindeer
bearing certain marks were believed
10 come yearly from an unknown but
inhabited country of the far North.
Reindeer, however, do not seem TO
be associated with Santa Claus in
many places.
The lighting OF candles ON the
Christmas tree was undoubtedly
suggestion from the Jewish Feast oi
Lights. which comes about the same
time as Christmas. 1t is likely that
the lights were twinkling in every
Jewish house i'm Bethlehem and
Nazareth at the very time of the Birth
OF Christ This custom was probably
merged into the Christmas celebra-
tion Of the Christians. Other authori-
ties claim that the candles are a sur
vival OF the huge Yule candle used as
"A sign OF the Light that came into the
world as prophesized by John the
Baptist. Yule, or Yuul. was the nam"
given by the ancient Goths and sax.
ons to their great festival of the via
ter solstice. or turning of the year
and the name has survived
The burning of the log was very
old luletime custom OF the Scandin
avians who. at the festival, kindled
huge bon fires to the God Thor Burn
ing the log was practiced in ScandM
avia, England, Italy, some parts Of
France and Servia. The charrJd
ashes were supposed TO have magic
powers.
The plum pudding, originally known
as the Christmas pudding, is said 20
be emblematical of the rich offerings
made by the Wise Men to the Infant
Christ in the stable at Bethlehem
Like the mince pie, il dates back 70
the early Christmas. Both were CON
sidered test OF orthodoxy as the

by the Jews. The mince pie was
formerly made in the shape of cra-
die. emblematical OF the manger III
which Jesus laid.

Origin Of Some Christmas Customs.
December 25th originally happen
ed to be fixed as Christmas Day.
About $40 \. ID. st. Cyril made careful
inquiry as to the date of the birth of
Christ and reported December 25th
as the correct date. Pope julius ac-
cepted this and some years later es-
tablished the festival at Rome on this
date. Before the close of the century
it was accepted by every nation in
Ghrstendom. The actual year of the
Nativity is unknown, and IL is GER
tain that the month and day can never
be recovered They We're absolutely
unknown To early fathers of the
church. Critics generally accept {
'B. c., as the probable year. There
are only two known dates To work
with. Herod the Great died IA years
after the founding of Rome, that is to
say. he died b. G. as We know II.
We know that there was an eclipse
of the moon on March 18th, I b. &.
on which night Herod ordered some
Jewish Rabbis to be burnt for incit-
ing their pupils to tear down the
Golden Eagle. We also know that
Herod was dead before the Passover,
which took place on April 18th, B.
c. Christ therefore must have been
born before February of the year
B. c.
Tradition says that Xmas was first
observed in 9S A. d., and was ordered
to be held as solemn feast by Pope
Telesphorus in 137 A. ID. The first
traces of its observance are found
about l40 4. ID. Il is not known who
how. There is no record of any com.
memoration of it during the life of
Christ, as the early Christians looked
upon the celebration of birthdays as
heathenish, and even the celebration
of the Lord Himself was not except
ed.
The custom OF making presents at
Christmas was derived from the Ro-
mans, who made gifts to one another
during the great winter festival, the
Saturnalia. The early Christians
made presents TO their children on
Christmas morning under the pretense
that they had been dropped by the
Christ child In passing over the house
at night.
The word Santa Claus" is an Eng
lish perversion of the Netherlands
word "Sinter Klaas,' meaning st,
Nicholas, the patron saint OF children.
The word is also used to designate
st. Nicholas Day. which in The Meth
erlands il celebrated on December
6th. The real ST, Nicholas, IT is said,

TUBERCULOSIS IS
DECREASING HERE

/ Secretary Joseph Wigglesworth. Of the
Board Of Health, is collecting statistics
on tuberculosis. He has found that the
increase Of this illness has been nothing
compared with the increase in popula-
tion
In 1855 the deaths reached $50. At that
time the population was estimated at
55So0. In 1890 the deaths were 165 with
an estimated population OF 61.427. In 1895
there were l69 deaths TO population Of
72.50o. In 1900 there were 164 deaths and
the population was 76.5oS. In 1905 there
were 152 deaths and a population of $1,000.
In 1905 there were l52 deaths to 81 500
population This shows that the fight
in this city has been effective. The
deaths from the disease last year when
the population was 81 800. was only ?
more than it was in 1855, when the pop
ulation WAS but $780,
