the German colonies of America long
before our parent country accepted it
Not until after the marriage Of Queen
Victoria when Prince Albert placed one

become an institution in England. once

of the most attractive Christmas cere-

A recent writer describes how the tree
was set up for all the children of the
neighborhood in the great hall of an Eng
lish country squire's house.
AT nightfall Christmas eve the chli-
dren, marshaled by the vicar and the
village school mistress, made their way
70 the hall where they took their APP
pointed places. The Christmas tree hah
been drawn back into the bay windows,
and was hidden by the sheet now hung
for the magic lantern. The squire was

end of the hall. The company stopped
dancing and fell back to make way for
a newcomer Then in the bright rays
of the Christmas lights dazzling vision
stood in front of Count Otto. 1t was a
princess of astonishing beauty.
- L have brought you Christmas pres
ent.' she said That which you lost,
and she placed in his hands little cas-
ket containing the ring.
Before these two had parted for the
night Otto had won her consent to be-
come his wife. One thing only she de-
manded of him. He must never make
use of the word death in her presence.
1t was easy enough for him to make this
promise but after their marriage he did
not keep it
lone evening, growing impatient over
her delay in preparing for a tourney in

and their eccentric performances, with
appropriate comic gravity. The children
listened in admiring SILENCE, which now
and then broke into half-suppressed
murmuT of delight, especially when the
rat ran into the mouth of the old gem
tleInan asleep in his bed, and continued
to repeat the feat over and over again.
Then the last disk OF light upon the sheet
disaprea and was succeeded by the
twinkling of the minute lights behind.
There was breathless expectations; the
sheet was drawn back, and tie tree in all
its glory was brought into the middle OF
the hall. The murmur Of half-suppreSsed
delight came again from the rows of chill
dren, and one little one whispered, in an
awe-Subdued voice, L think it is like
heaven!
"As the presents We're given out the
hall soon resounded with joyful voices.

tree were followed by slices of cake from

Scarcely had he uttered the fatal word
than with a wild scream the lady dis
appeared, leaving no trace except the
print of her little hand above the castle
gate.
Not long afterward Count Otto was
gathered to his Fathers, but every Christ
mas eve while his life lasted he would set
up a lighted tree in the hall where he had
first met the Lady Ernestine in the vain
hope of wooing her back to his arms.
Thus StrasSburg and the region OF the
Rhine claim that their Count Otto uncon-
sciously originated the Christmas tree.
For about two hundred years the GUS

fined itself to StrasSburg and the towns
along the Rhine. Then suddenly it gained
in favor and by the middle of the nine

air, hurled his thunderbolt at the winter
castle and demolished it. Then FreiJa,
the goddess of fruits and Mowers, re-
Sumed her former sway.

herald of the coming viz tpry of light and
life over darkness and Uaath.
In uniting the modern Christmas with
the festivities of the winter solstice, 1t Is
a pleasure to note how cleverly the
Christian world selected and wove into
its own day the most beautiful and hitting
OF the heather customs and myths.
christmas says Dean Stanley,
''brings before US the relations OF the
Christian religion to the religions which
went before" We ask ourselves, never
theless, how the Christian church could
be reconciled to the adoption of pagan
rites and usages. They did it not from
choice. The early church in the effort
to convert the heather made practice
of adopting the more harmless features
of the pagan ceremonies, but in separat-
ing this chan it had a struggle indeed
for the winter solstice festivals were
not the peaceful and decorous celebra-
tons of today. The ancients INDUCED
were loath to leave all this behind
X *
Notwithstanding opposition. the church
and state, after many years, conquered
pagan debauchery. 1t is interesting to
note some of the customs derived from
the ancient festivals. The acce. ted dale
of the SaViors birth was a concc SsIon
to the sun worshipers, the CHRISTMAS
carol is the purified hymn of the Satur
MALTA, the Christmas tree, the holly and
the mistletoe are the surVivalS OF the
Drudical worship: the church adorn-
ment is the reproduction of the temples
of Saturn, radiant with burning tapers
and resplendent with garlandS'; the
burning of the yule log and all the at
tendant ceremonies of the twelfth night
are the outcome of paganism, and asst
~, the institution of the feast itself is
but the transplanting OF the feast of
the Saturnalia.
Coming down to medieval times one
encounters the attractive reVelrieS OF
the twelfth night, which closed a festi-
val season extending from Christmas
to the 9th of January. when it is said
visited the Christchild and were feast
ed. The Bible tells little concern ng
these men, but tradition calls them kings
