CHRISTMAS IN GERMANY,
A Day of Cheeriness and Happiness
Throughout the FatherIand.


The German Christmas has local Gif-
ferences in various provinces The
Christmas tree is universal, for this is
its home. At many places the whole
family go to early service. at or 6
O'Clock. as the custom may be, and in
some parts of the country every one
carries lighted candle. These can
dies. placed on the backs of the pe7vs,
sometimes make the only light in the
church. At some places when the
clock strikes II on Christmas eve the
bells ring and every house and church
is quickly lighted up.
Christmas is day of cheeriness and
happiness throughout Germany The
presents are usually simple. Men and
angels and many kinds of creatures
are fashioned in gingerbread. 1t is
twisted into many grotesque shapes.
and sometimes it is guided. Hans
Christian Andersen's story Of the
"HOneybread Soldier" will be better
understood by any one who has spent
a Christmas in Germany.
In Hanover, just when the candles
on the Christmas tree are dying out,
there will be mysterious rap on the
door and bundle will be thrown into
the room. 1t contains a little present
for every member Of the family and
comic verses for some of them.
In Oberammergau there is a more
distinctly religious tone given to the
whole holiday. The Christ Child is the
guardian angel of the time. 1t is he,
they say. who brings the Christmas
tree. He comes down from heaven on
Christmas eve. holding it in his hands.
Two angels bearing presents fly before
him and two behind. He puts the tree
on the table. rings a bell and flies
away. He brings a blessing to the
children that have been obedient.
To the children of Oberammergau
st. Nicholas is an angel in disguise.
He goes about from house to house in
ragged clothes and with a bag on his
back. He gives loud knock at the
door and asks. Are the children
good:' If the answer is Eyes" he
leaves fruits and candies. If the an
Swer is mo" he leaves stick.

CHRISTMAS HERE IN 1892.
First White Man on This Hemisphere
Tried to Save a Ship.


The first Christmas ever spent by
white men on this hemisphere was de-
voted to saving what could be preserv-
ed of a shipwreck. On Christmas eve.
1892. the carave Santa Maria with her
consort. the Nina. was coasting down
the shore off the island which the
admiral christened Hispaniola, now
known as Haiti
AT II O'Clock on Christmas eve Co
lumbus. feeling that the ships were
safe in the calm. left the deck and
went to sleep. A steersman at the
helm violated orders and left bow In
charge.
The boy at the helm did not hear the
breakers as the current sucked the shin
inshore and was not alarmed until the
vessel struck. Columbus answered his
cry for help. but the ship could not be
saved. and all on board were safely
transferred to the Nina. Christmas was
spent trying to save the Santa Maria.
