; CHRISTMAS IN HOLLAND.


In Holland Santa Claus pays his an
nual visit to all good children twenty
days before he comes to this country.
Dec. is the feast day of st. Nicholas,
alias Santa Claus He has nothing
whatever to do with Christmas. and
his visit there is an Anglo-Saxon an
achronism. As their patron saint, chill
dren were taught to look to Nicholas
for care and protection. In England
the custom was abolished with the
worship of saints at the reformation
and was re-establshed in the Ameri
can guise of Father Christmas in the
middle of the last century.
But in Holland Santa Claus contin-
ues to make his visits on the right day.
Dec. ). The Dutch children do not
hang up their stockings, but place their
shoes, filed with hay or straw for the
donkey on which St Nicholas rides, in
front of the fireplace

CHRISTMAS LULLABIES.
Songs Popular at Yuletide Season
Traced Back For Centuries

Christmas Iullabies to the Divine
Child may be traced back to medieval
times. In one of the Coventry plays
occurs what is plainly cradle song
to the infant Jesus, which has been
preserved in music as we'll as in text
Five hundred years ago the mere
picture did not suffice the faithful. The
scene had to be enacted. The little
play was called The Grading of the
Child" Standing on Il platform above
the manger. boys representing angels
proclaimed the birth of the Saviour.
Priests took the part of shepherds and
gathered around the manger Here
stood Joseph, Mary and the servant of
Joseph.
After the choir had sung hymns.
among them "Christus Natus Hodic,"
Mary sang the first verse of the Ger
man song. Joseph. dear Joseph mine.
help me to rock my babe, that God
may reward me in heaven-the Babe
of the Virgin Mary" Joseph answered
with the second verse OF the song,
Gladly, my dear nurse, will help
thee rock thy babe. that God may re-
ward me in heaven" etc. The serv-
ant sang: Rejoice. Christian multi
tude. The King of heaven, who was
born of the Virgin Mary. has taken on
mortality"
And so the scene in the churches
went on every Christmas.

The Santa Claus idea has grown out
of variety of legends and customs.
The festival of St Nicholas, who was
the especial friend of the children. was
celebrated in Germany about the 9th
OF December. 1t was easy enough to
make this coincide with the later and
more general festival The tangible
Santa Claus was called "Knecht Ru-
