CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS.
The Christmas Tree.

Among the features and decorations
of Christmas the Christmas tree has a
place, though not to quite such a gen.
eral extent as in Germany.
The origin of the Christmas tree is
attributed to various sources. One
Scandinavian myth of great antiquity
speaks of a service tree" sprung
from the blood-drenched soil where
two lovers had been killed by vio-
lence. On certain nights in the Christ
mas season, so runs the story, lights
were seen flaming in it's branches, that
no wind could extinguish.
Another old time authority has it
that its origin was in the ancient
Egyptian practice of decking houses
at the time of the winter solstice with
branches of the date palm-the SYM
bol of life triumphant over death, and
therefore of perennial life, in the re-
neWal of each bounteous year. The
Egyptians regarded the date palm as
the emblem not only of Immortality
but also of the star-lit armament
Others suggest that it may have orig
mated from the Jewish feast of
Chanuckah or Lights, known also as
the feast Of Dedication, of which

THE CHRISTMAS STOCKING.

From Italy comes the legend from
which we are supposed to get the
time-honored custom of hanging up
the Christmas stocking. Good old st.
Nicholas Of Padua used to throw long
knitted purses, tied at both ends, into
the open windows of the very poor
people. These purses were of yarn,
and not unlike a footless stocking.
Finally it became the custom of the
people to hang these long empty re-
ceptacles out of their windows on the
night before Christmas, so that St.
Nicholas could put gift into them
as he passed by. BY and by, when
coins became scarce, toys were put in
for the children and useful presents
foro the grown up people. In the
North country, where it was rather
chilly at Christmas time, the purses
were hung on the mantelpiece, and it
was believed that the good old Saint
would come down the chimney and
fill them. When the purses went out
of use, stockings were substituted,
and have been in use ever since.

CHRISTMAS MIsTLEToE.
"A Survival From the PARKWAY
Druidic Times.

A great many centuries ago, before
the time of Christianity, the oak tree
and especially the mistletoe growing
out of the heart of the oak, were rev.
erenced for their supposed affinity
with the sun. The DruidS Worshipped
the sun as the one supreme god, and
believed the oak to be in some way
associated with the sun because they
made fire by rubbing oak sticks to-
gether, the oak being at once the
most common tree and the most suit
able for the purpose. Twice each year
these Celtic priests gave a religious
festival in honor of the sun, their
places of worship being in the groves.
In June, when the sun was known to
have ceased mounting higher in the
heavens, the Druids gave thanks, be-
cause a nearer approach of the sun
was thought to be possible, and this,
of course, would result in the burning
of the earth. In December, at the
time of the shortest days the Druids
prepared a celebration in honor of the
suns turning back from his down.
ward journey, which was recognized
as the days began to grow longer.
This second celebration was quite
naturally the happiest time, the peo-
pie holding the sun in such fear in
June. 1t was then that the mistletoe
was honored as being the very es-
sence of the oak.
When eventually the Church was
established and it's followers turned
the ancient December celebration
into Christmas, the mistletoe was
hung up by way of compromise, al
though it had nothing to do with the
new religion. And so even today, in
our use of evergreen and holly, and
even the occasional sprig of mistle-
toe, we reflect the nature worship
which gave us, perhaps, not only the
foundation of our Christmas, but our
love of nature as well.

The YuIe Log.

In the category of household prac-
tees still observed on Christmas day
in England the yule log is prominent
The orthodox fashion of English
Christmas observance is never COM
pletely fulfilled without this huge
block of wood which in olden times
was not infrequently either a large
section of the trunk or the entire root
of large tree. Much ceremony was
always used in introducing the log
into the houses, and as it lay in pom
derous majesty on the kitchen floor
each member of the household had
sung the Yule songs standing on it's.
center ere it was consigned to the
flames that went roaring up the
chimney wide" Music as well as
singing often accompanied the cere-
mony Of lighting the Yule log.
Around this fire the Inequalities of
the evening, seasoned by jokes and
stories, music and song, went around.
These and many other practices,
and customs show the Importance at
tached in the English folk mind to
the time of the birth of Christ. A
beautiful and timely custom of me-
dieaval Christmas was the presenta-
ton of the Holy Night in tableaux

towns in northern England. The old
cities were full of craftsmen, in those.
days, busily employed in the erection
of churches and cathedrals. Near the
stately edifices, suitable halls were en-
gagged, and Norman architects, Italian
designers, and well-known. carvers
and artists from beyond the seas,
would join in fitting it up and beauti-
flying it for the occasion. The func-
ton took place after the early Mass.
The stately old building with it's win
dows darkened by the falling snow,
lent itself to candle light effects that
enhanced the spIendor of the scene.

presentation of the chief events in
scriptural history from the creation
down to the birth of Christ. The an
nunciation, the announcement of the
angel to the shepherds, the stable at
Bethlehem, all were enacted with
grace, beauty of setting, and solemn
impressiveness. The lessons of the
morning remained in the breasts of
the simple folk all through the day,
and created the true poetry of Christ
mas.
AS they repaired to their homes to
finish the day in harmless conviviality
the spirit that animated all, found es-
preston in the words of the old
ballad: ess.-
God rest you, merry gentlemen
| Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
Was born upon this day;
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray." .

A BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM.

The weary wanderings of the
Blessed Virgin and st. Joseph on
Christmas eve, before they found
shelter in the stable where our
Blessed Lord was born, are still COM
memorated in some Catholic coun-
tries, notably in Spain, where what
are called pasada, or hostelry process
sions, march on Christmas eve from
house to house. Children carrying
images of Mary and Joseph lead the
way, followed by servants, master and
mistress, and a mixed crowd, all bear
ing tapers, who halt at door after door
to knock and crave admission. No
response is given to their appeals I'M
til at last they come to the church,
where the first summons is immedi-
ately answered by voice from within,
inquiring who is there, to which a
chosen spokesman replies: 1T is Mary,
the Queen of Heaven, who begs a
place to lay her head; the night is
dark and cold, and she is wanderer
from far Galilee." The doors OF the
church are then thrown open, and the
procession enters in, to be led to a
side altar prepared to represent a
stable with a Manager, dimly lighted by
a single lantern. Here all kneel and
recite the last prayers of prescribed
litany; and as the final petition dies
away, little boy with wings fastened
to his shoulders, and in his arms an
image representing the Holy Child,
rushes in, and lays his burden in the
crib. The tapers are then lighted,
and Joyful carols of welcome to the
worlds Redeemer are sung by all
present.

he was the least loved of all the flock,
being so dull in color. Not one of
the shepherds knew that he had gone,
none Of the sheep heard his soft feet

But suddenly as he journeyed, a
strange light filled the sky and daz-
zled his eyes so that he could scarce
ly see. The woods were suddenly
filled with strange sweet music, and
through the swaying branches of the
palms and olive trees there could be
seen the white wings of angels.
4 Stumbling along the wood path, his
fleece catching in the thorn bushes
and the rough stones cutting his feet,
the little gray lamb followed the light
of the star until he came to the walls
of bethlehem, and entered the gate,
and then battered softly over the
paved streets.
Ahead of him he saw strange pro-
cession of great men of the East car
rying gifts, nor did it stop until the
star hung low in the sky over the
door of a lowly stable.
There they entered, kneeling at the
foot of hay-filled manger, bringing
their gifts to the little Babe who had
come to Bethlehem on his first
Christmas Eve
Patiently, longingly, the little lamb

the others, and watched the Babe.
He must not even cross the threshold,
he thought.
But as the sorrowful bleating of
the little gray lamb reached the ears
Of the Christ-Child, He reached out
one fair little hand, reckoning to the
lamb to come to His side. Then He
laid his hand on it's wrinkled face,
and strange thing happened.
The little gray lamb was suddenly
clothed in soft white fleece.
A child may see this same little
white lamb today whose fleece was
once so gray. He is painted upon the
colored windows of great churches,
and he lies in green churchyards
where the quiet dead are laid to sleep.
Sometimes he carries a staff to make
child remember his journey down
from the hills of Bethlehem to the
manager, and sometimes in old pic
lures the Christ-Child stands by his
side with His hand resting on the
lambs white fleece, as it did upon the
first Christmas Eve
But whenever a child sees him, the
message of the little lamb at Christ
mas time is the same-one of love,
and patience, and humility.

THE LITTLE GRAY LAMB.
A Christmas Legend for American
Children.

He stood all alone upon one Of the
hills outside of Bethlehem on the
first Christmas Eve. long ago.
There were other lambs all about
him, lying like drifts of snow, so white
were they, on the purple hills, and
the light of the stars made their fleece
look more snow-like and more pure.
Wrapped in their long cloaks. the
shepherds dozed and watched the red
fires that burned in the hollows of
the hills.
But the little gray lamb shivered
and bleated. He was very unhappy,
because he wanted white fleece. He
wanted to be as white as a cloud, as
white as a flower, as white. as the
other lambs, but ever since he could
remember he had been covered with
a fleece of gray.
AS he stood, so sorrowful and sad,
the little gray lamb called to, the
moon and cried:
"Oh, moon of Bethlehem, pure and
bright,
pray you, give me fleece of
white"
But the night breezes, drifting
down from the sky and rustling
through the bushes all about the little
gray lamb, brought the moons mes
sage:
"Oh, little gray lamb, alone in the
night,
1 can not give you a fleece of white. >
So the little lamb left his place and

"uNTo US A SON IS GWEN"
BY Alice MeyneII.

Given, not lent,
And not withdrawn-once sent,
This Infant of mankind, this One,
Is still the little welcome Son.
New every year,
New born and newly dear,
He comes with tidings and song,
The ages long, the ages long;
Even as the cold,
Keen winter grows not old
As childhood is so fresh, foreseen,
And spring in the familiar green.
Sudden as sweet
Come the expected feet.
All joy is young, and new all art,
And He, too, Whom we have by hear
