LIKED THE FIGHTING APOSTLE.
Name Of St. Peter Appealed to Heart
of Soldier.

II Is we'll known that Elias Howe,
the inventor of the sewing machine.
not only enlisted as common soldier
IN the ranks of the Seventeenth Con.
nect1cut regiment. carried a musket.
and did full military duty during the
war, but at certain juncture, when
national finances were at a low ebb,
ne paid soldiers out of his own pocket.
Relative TO this incident, P. T. Barnum
used to tell this story:
while Mr.. Howe was counting out
the money referred to, stranger, who
was a clergyman, entered the tent and
said he had heard of Mr.. Howe's lib.
crafty and had called to ask him to
contribute toward building a church
for his congregation.
Church. church. said Mr.. Howe
without looking up from his bills he
was counting; building churches In
war times, when so much Is needed to
save our country! What church is
It.?
"'St. Peters church, replied the
clergyman.
"'Oh. ST. Peters, said Mr.. Howe;
well. st. Peter was the only fighting
apostle--he cut q mans ear off. I'll
go $500 on st. Peter but 1 am spend
Ing most Of my money on saltpeter

FAMED slEeINe BOYS OF JENA.
ougrowth of Age of Bacchantes or
Wandering Students.

Hundreds of years ago the streets
or Jena and other German towns used
to echo to the songs of black-robed
monks, who went from door to door
singing and begging aims. Their ex-
ample was followed by bands of POOR
students, known as Bacchantes. These
Edcchantes wandered from one uni
VerS1ty 10 another in search of better
instruction or better means of sup
port. Such a wandering life was ia
Vored by the customs of times when
people thought it virtue to give free
ly to all persons seeking help, but
especially to monks and students
The Bacchantes had with them
younger travelling scholars known as
skfrmishers, who were to receive in
struction in return for certain services.
The younger skirmisher had 10 wait
upon his Bacchante. beg, and even
steal for him, and for the most part
he was very tyrannically used But
as he was wait without other protec-
ton he had to make the best of mat
ters..
After the reformation in many
places these orphan boys, or waits,
were banded into organized choirs,
who received pay from chm; ches. but
also were assisted by private sub.
scriptions. It was their duty to sing
not only in the churches, but before
the houses of their patrons as we'll.
Thus they ceased 10 be beggars. Mar
tin Luther himself as boy had been
one OF these singers. and it was large
ly due to his influence that the old
custom or begging entirely passed
away. There Is n famous picture of
Luther as singing boy in Eisenach
where his song attracted the attention
of the coed Frau Gotta. who adopted
and educated him.
Nowadays the old custom Of the
choir boys singing fror, house to
house is fading away. There are only
five other towns besides Jena in the
whole German empire where this mu-
sic can be heard. Once each year the
singing boys go to Eisenach and sing
before the emperor in the great hall
of the historic castle of the Wartburg.
where the Minnesingers held their
music battles.
There are just 20 Of the Jena sing
ing boys. five each of the ages Of -.
IL, 13 and Ia years. They are
phans, and the only qualifications fu~
the privilege of four years board AMI
schooling are good character ah;li.
to sing and obedience to inc laws

quircs them to sing before the hors
of their patrons.-St. Nicholas Mag,

The good old custom Of singing
from house to house on Christmas
eve has crept across the water from
England to America. 1t was a part
OF the program Of the season to learn
these carols and to gather In bands,

cha, servic 1t entertained its par
ishioners in worldly way as well as
merieS enacted under the direction
of the clergy rehearsed the scene
in the stable. These plays gave rise
to number TO legendary carols.
The Cherry Tree Carol was pop
ular in London in the last century.
1t related the story of the virgin |
begging Joseph to pluck some cher
rieS for her, and when he refuses,
the unborn babe speaks and tells his
mother to reach out her hand and tn |
tree will bow before her, and the car
oil goes on to say;
Then bespake Joseph
have done Mary wrong" etc.
Another carol of this time>is full
Of beautiful imagery
"As Joseph was a-walking,
He heard an angel sing
This night shall be born,
Our heavenly king;
He neither shall be born
In house nor in hall,
Nor in the place of Paradise,
But in an ox's STALL etc.
This is in the same spirit as our
familiar:
while shepherds watched their flock
by night

The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shown around.
Fear not said he flor mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind);
"G' tidings of great Joy l bring

And who would forget the swing
Of melody, and the charity taught in
Good King Weneslaus looked forth
On the least of Stephen
d, He saw the beggar gathering fuel
in the snow that lay round about"
and calls to his servants to bring
him robes and wine and to fetch the
poor man in from the cold.
In the rural districts the nature fes-
| tival lasted long after the church
had taken the feast. There were re-
mains of tree worship and sacrifice
to Pomona in Cornwall as late as
$50 years ago. The peasants used to
: go into the orchards on Christmas
day with pals full of cider and roast
ed apples. The health Of the trees
was drunk to song, and libations pour
ed upon the roots. In various sec
tions of northern Europe 1t is the
custom to decorate trees out of doors
The fir trees as evergreens and the
fruit trees for their promises, were
trimmed with long streamers Of rib
bon or paper.
The Christmas tree finds its anees-
tor in the German ash Ygdrasil, a
great tree whose top reached to Wal

roofs were fast in the earth.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

The twenty-fifth Of December, rath-
er the week about that time, has
been celebrated for many ages with
rejoicing. Long before the Christian
. era, the pagan astronomers decided
that these were the shortest days be-
fore the sun returned to northern
lands to bring another spring and
seed time and harvest. The dreary
winter was at its worst, and the
coming days would have longer hours
Of light and sunshine and the re-
awakening of nature. Therefore sing
an be joyful The Egyptians held a
festival in honor of the birth of their
god Horus. The Romans called 1t,
"the birthday of the invincible SUM-,
and dedicated it TO Bacchus, rejoic'
ing with him that the sun was about
to return and revivify the vineyards.
The Persians held a festival of I'M
common splendor as the birthday Of
Mithras, the mediator spirit oil
the sun. In the north country among
the worshipers of Odin it was ma.
ture festival of riOtous feasting, fol
the winter was fast approaching its
end. 1t has been a time for univer
sal celebration according to ancient
written history since the beginning
and obscure tribes in remote ma
tons have legends of their own alb
out what we call Christmastide, the
feast of peace and good will.
AS Christianity brought its bless
ings to follow the good of past re
hgiOns, it seems only right that thu
birth of Christ should come at tim,
of general rejoicing. 1t made it cas-
the savior of light, at a time wheI
the returning sunshine in the skieI
was symbolical of the feeling of bro,
therly kindness which was taught il
the love of little child, And so a
early as the second century tn
church celebrated Christmas day whe
the heather were honoring thei
gods.
The Christmas celebration, as q
know it, is but a reincarnation o
the Yuletide of the Anglo Saxo
tribes, Singing is a proper way t
manifest joy. 1t delights the SINCE
and gives pleasure to others. TIL
churchly CAROLS were not enough 70
feasting remains. And 30 with ths
that divine old carroll, "Adeste F
del:3." are conviVial songs.
Come hither,eye faithful;
Triumphantly sing;
Come, see the manger,
Our Savior and King.
To Bethlehem hasten,
With joyous accord?
Oh, come ye, come hither,
To worship the Lord;
The contrast lies in "a Crlae
Bringing in ye Bore's Heed
Capri apri defero,
Reddens laudes domino.
The bore's head in hand bring
With garlands gay and rosemar!
And l prys you all sing merel
