turkeys on the Christmas table.
Our ancestors thought nothing of taking
three weeks holiday at Christmas time.

cording to an old superstition, TO be lucky

always roasted whole over the Yule log
at Christmas.
Christmas Island, in the Pacific Ocean.

there on Christmas Day, l777.
The great event of the old Christmas
dinner four or five hundred years ago was

boar'S head, garnished with rosemary.
In the reign OF Diocletian, about the
year 300 A. D., the Emperor was keeping
court at Nicodemia when he learned that

Bethlehem Town.

As wa. going TO Bethlehem town
Upon the earth cast me down
All underneath little tree
That whispered in this wise TO me:
oh. shall stand on Calvary
And bear what burthen saveth thee ~
As Up Jared TO Bethlehem town
met shepherd coming down.
And thus he quoth: "A wondrous sight
Hath spread before mine eyes this night
An angel host most fair 10 see,
That sung full sweetly OF tree
That shall uplift on Calvary
What burthen saveth you and me. :"
And as gat to Bethlehem town,
Lo. wise men came that bore crown.
rs there" cried |. 'in Bethlehem
A King shall wear this diadem p
Good sooth, they quoth, and il is he
That shall be lifted on the tree
And freely shed on Calvary
What blood redeemeth us and thee
Unto Child in Bethlehem town
The wise men came and brought the crown,
And, while the infant smiling slept,
Upon their knees they fell and wept,
But with her babe upon her knee.
Naught rocked that Mother OF the three
That should uplift on Calvary
What burthen saveth all and me.
Again walk in Bethlehem town
And think on him that wears the crown.
| may not kiss his feet again
Nor worship him as did then.
My King hath died upon the tree
And hath outpoured on Calvary
What blood redeemeth you and me.

Christmas in Holland.

In Holland, St. Nicholas is a reality,
and he comes driving white horse in

them on the hearth Christmas Eve for the
good saints horse. In the morning the
hay and oats are gone, and in their place
arc found toys and sweetmeats for the
good children and rods for the bad ones.

What OF Turkish Fleet?

LONDON, Oct. 2.-Whether the
Turkish fleet lies ruined at the bot
tom of the sea at the entrance of the
Dardenlles or is safe at Constantinople
is a mystery here today. The Turkish
marine minister admits the loss OF
a single cruiser, but says that the re-
mainder of the fleet is safe at Constan-
tinOple.
The Italian minister says that the
Italian fleet met single division of
the Turkish fleet, and sank three of
the battleships and damaged others in
the conflict which took place.
Diplomatic circles admit that the
dismemberment Of the Ottoman en-
pire is possible soon. Russian war
ships remain off Trebizond, while
Austria is massing troops on the
frontier of Novi Bazaar, which looks
as though they intended to make a
grab Of some kind. The Balkans are
preparing to revolt again, according
to reports received here.

than they have been since the declara-

Germany, fearing such clash, Is
urging Turkey to yield to Italy, and
has submitted to them terms which are
acceptable to the Italians.
The Turkish sultan has abandoned
all hope that the powers will inter-
yene to save Turkey from partition,
and he is willing to go to the extreme
for peace. He fears his subjects, how
ever, would refuse terms and raise
the holy war flag and massacre the
Christians, thus precipitating Turkeys
final downfall.
1t is undOubted that the sentiment
among the Turks is hourly growing
more dangerous to Europeans. Many
believe that all MOhammaden cOun-
