CHRISTMAS IN GERMANY.

While there are few civilized coun-
tries In which the plan Of giving pres
ents at Christmas dime II not almost
universal nowadays. this was not al
ways the case. Indeed, the world has
acquired many Of the customs now In
vogue at this period Of the year from
the Germans. who pay more attention
to Christmas than the people Of any
other nation.
It is to them perhaps that we owe
the inauguration Of the gift giving as
we'll as the beautiful institution Of the
Christmas tree. The presents equally
with the tree have been popular
among the Germans from medieval
times. With the Introduction OF Ger
man customs (chief among which was
the sparkling Christmas tree) into
Great Britain at the time Of Queen
.Victoria's marriage with the German
Prince Albert in the middle OF the
nineteenth century the practice OF gen.
eral Christmas giving doubtless began
among English speaking people.

The children looked up In open

There are many predictions
concerning the luck Of those born
on Christmas day. 1t depends
somewhat on the day of the

those born on this day. when 1t
fell on Sunday. would live to be
great lords: on Monday. would
be strong and keen: on Tuesday,
strong and covetOus: on Wednes-
day. wise. gay, doughty and
crafty: on Thursday. wise Of
speech and reasonable; on FRI
day. long lived: on Saturday,
