groups to celebrate the birthday Of
the Babe of Bethlehem, who was born
in manger on Christmas day. Some.
times In matted room, where never
harsher tread than a sandaled foot
was felt, is placed an orthodox Christ
mas tree, laden with trinkets from the
bazaars of Japan, and gifts sent es.
pecially from shops several thousand
miles away. Richly colored Japanese
lanterns are hung about the room. The
Japanese are a gift-giving people and
the prettily wrapped presents are sug-
gestive of friendliness, while their
blending of Asiatic and American COL
ors Is a pleasing sight. The merry
makers mingle in happy games-then
the screens are removed from about
the Christmas tree, when East and
West are forgotten in the joy Of the
scintillating scene presented. It is
much the same as an American tree.

anese trinkets. The children caper
about the tree-the servants have
their happy hour, then there is served
an elaborate dinner, for the grown
ups, of the mingled races. Good cheer
abounds. In the majority of cases the
hosts are Christians, while their guests
may be Buddhists, yet the followers of
both faiths realize the beauty of the
hymns caroled anew, that proclaimed
to the world, Christ's mission of kin.
ship to all men.
Five degrees from the equator, and
with a summer temperature, Christ
mas in the southern Philippines is
celebrated in joyous manner. The
military chapels at the various posts
are gaily decorated. Tropical greens
that retain their color are used for
decorations and Christmas trees, but
those participating in the festivities
are clad in the lightest of clothing, the
men invariably In ducks, the women
in muslin frocks, while fans are kept
swaying to coax the vagrant breezes.
There is, Of course, not vestige of
snow, nor breath of cold air, so If
Santa Claus appears, as he usually
does, wearing his northern garb, he
gets through his duties as quickly as
possible, In order to discard his un-
comfortable furs, or hastens to a
cooler climate. Gifts are ordered many
months in advance, and Santa Claus
boxes are in readiness long before the
advent of Christmas morn. In lieu of
sleighing, swimming is often INDUCED
in. Although the day is a mixture of
Christmas festivities and summer
sports, clasping of hands of mid
summer and mid-winter, yet it is a
merry day, fraught with much joy,
and eagerly anticipated.

Or. cotter's Estimate Of Bishop
Shahan,


Lately we had the happy chance of
enjoying Bishop Shahan's companion.
ship for some hours. No wonder the
university succeeds, for certainly its
head is grand success, and para
phrasing Scripture, as is the head so
is the whole body. The words of Sir
John Denham find living embodi.
ment in the intellect of this gifted
Churchman:
Though deep, yet clear; though
gentle, yet not dull;
Strong without rage, without o'eraow-
ing full"
The happy, easy manner in which
he briefly simplifies the most abstruse
theme; the varied knowledge which
gives him almost myriad-minded
character, and withal the charming
humility which hides the art of i'm
parting instruction.; all these make
the president Of our university man
whom the Office chose to lend light
and strength to it's exalted purpose.
To hear him discuss a subject, hap
hazardly introduced, you would be led
to believe that he had made it a spe-
cialty all his years. From the depths
of philosophy to history or poetry he
goes with a gliding grace, and leav-
ing st. Thomas. he, the next moment
fingers with almost boyish enthusi-
asm on the Waiting stanzas of Tom
Moore. Nothing like pedantry deforms
his mind. Simple and unaffected, he
enriches every discussion and charms
every auditor.
We were particularly delighted with
the Celtic character of princely gifts
pertaining to his episcopal Office. His
ring had an immense square emerald
disporting itself in veritable plain
of diamonds. His pectoral Cross, al
though not as elaborate, although ex-
ceedingly rich, was a kindred piece.
His crozier is an unique conception.
1t contains a precious relic of the
martyred Bishop of Armagh, the ven
cradle oliver Plunkett. The ensemble
rests on carved Irish oak from Faug-
hard, the birthplace of st. Brigid. "Our
Lady of Limerick" miraculous
statue resurrected after many years,
is reproduced standing under the
Celtic Cross in the crook, while the
whole thing is splendid reproduction
of the ancient Irish staff, with its
decorations from the initial letters of
the Book of Kells."
In conjunction with this revival Of
Irish art, we recall the splendid monu-
ment to DR.. Lambert in the form of
Celtic Cross. The wonderful lin
cal ornamentation of the one, a me-
mortal to the dead, is in the class
with Bishop Shahan's insignia of Of
flee, an expression of admiration for
the living. May there be more of
this truly artistic and religious art
and less of the meaningless designs
of our modern time. May Bishop Sha.
han long enjoy life blessed in itself
and blessing in its influence!

The Feast Of Christmas
Throughout the World

There's a feeling in the air in all
the Christian lands at Christmastide.
Everyone feels it, the rich, the poor,
the sad and the gay. There is no
shaking it off, whatever one may do.
Again the familiar old carols will echo
round the globe in many languages
and dialects, and the church affairs
will be decked with holly, fir and pine
branches in northern climes, and under
tropic suns they will be fragrant with
piles of flowers mingled with the
feathery, lacy sprays from the pepper
and fern trees.
Far of in the little town of Bethle-
hem, Christian men, women and child
rem of the Orient will gather In the
Church of the Nativity, on the ira
ditional spot where the Infant Christ
was born 1900 years ago to celebrate
their Christmas service. Myriads Of
feet have passed over those aisles
going to the grotto of the nativity,
and stood over the silver star which
marks the spot where "she brought
forth her first-born son, and wrapped
Him in swaddling clothes and laid
Him in a manger, because there was
no room in the inns"
From the little town of Bethlehem
fancy transports one to one of the
little ice churches of the land of the
Eskimo. The most northerly place in
the world of Christian worship where
service is held on Christmas Day is
way up in ice-bound Siberia. This lit.
tie edifice is about u miles north of
Yakutask, the coolest place in the
world. The church was built by Rus
sian convicts sentenced to exile for
political crimes. In this land of eter-
nal snow and unbroken solitude, cold,
snow and ice continually menace death
and starvation to those unhappy men.
From this frigid zone to the tropic
heat of Central Africa, to the mission
at Magila, is a long stretch, and vast
contrast of conditions of life at Christ
mastide. The natives of this burning
spot celebrate the day by appearing
with clearly shaver bald heads, in
loin clothes. In China, the dragon
land, green sward, lovely roses, chry.
santhemums and peppers. palms and
fern trees, make brilliant Christmas
Day. The Jews begin their great
feast of light on Christmas eve and
continue it for eight days. The eight
branch candlestick is lighted each
night until all the lights are burned.
This festival, called Chanukah, orig
mated in the days of the Macabees,
$50 B. c., when Judas Macabee rose
against the persecution of the Jews
. by Antiochus, and fought and gained
great victory over the tyrant. The
Macabees marched against Jerusalem,
captured the city from the Syrians,
and rededicated it to the God of Israel,
rekindling the lights in the sacred can.
dlestick.
In Germany.
No family in Germany is too poor
to afford Christmas tree, and long
before Yuletide preparations are made
for the great season Of festivities.
Krippen are set up in many homes,
and are miniature representatives of
scenes Of the Nativity. The season
Is one Of rejoicing and gift-giving. The
tree is marvellous arrangement OF
Il green twigs, apples, tinsel, artificial
Y flowers. gilded nuts. glittering orna-
ments and gay candles. For months

PECULIAR AFTER EFFECTS
OF GRIP THIS YEAR.
Leaves KidnsYsIn Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited so many homes.
The symptoms of grip this year are often
very distressing and leave the system in
a run down condition, particularly the
kidneys which seem to suffer most, as
almost every victim complains of lame
back and urinary troubles which should
not be neglected, as these danger signals
often lead to dangerous kidney troubles.
Druggists report a large sale on DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-ROot which so many
people say soon heals and strengthens
the kidneys after an attack of grip.
Swamp-Root is a great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, and, being an herbal
compound, has a gentle healing effect
on the kidneys, which is almost imme-
diately noticed in most cases by those
who try it. DR.. Kilmer G. Co., Bing-
hamton, N. Y, offer to send a sample
size bottle of Swamp-R Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial viii convince any one
who may be in need of it. Regular size
bottles so cents and S1.0O. For sale at
all druggists. Be sure to mention this
paper. 2-6-4t
