LONDON, Aug. 4.-Humility ana re-
cognition Of her weaknesses replaced
the bliAd confidence and cock-sured-
ness Of 4 year ago. when Great Brit
ain today. In thousands Of patriotic
meetings throughout the empire. OBJ
served the nrst anniversary Of the
declaration Of war against Germany.
The empire, without reservation. re-
affirmed its determination to carry the
war to the bitter end. Prepared reso-
lutions adopted at gatherings in British
possessions throughout the world pro-
nounced that policy. But everywhere
there was a striking contrast between
the spirit Of the people today and OF
one year ago.
Throughout today's meetings ran the
feeling that Britain has made serious
errors in the past. but with 1t bull.
dog determination to profit by these
mistakes and to see to It that they are
not repeated In the future.
Discuss Empires Danger.
The London newspapers sounded thi,
keynote today in their anniversary com,
ments. With practical unanimity they
frankly discussed the empires grave
danger. and declared that only ru.
prcmv. unified. sacrificial effort could
save the empire from disaster. But tho
tone of their editorials. on the whole
was strongly hopeful for the future.
A universal anniversary program wal
carried out at meetings held in Eng.
land, Australia, Canadh. New Zealand
India. Ireland Scotland-wherever sub.
jects Of Great Britain were assembled
The program was arranged by the cen.
trail committee for national patriotic or.

carIyIe,s Christmas Gift.

1t is no drawback for a Christmas
gift to be useful, as well as orname
tai, but there is pathos in Carlyle's pres
entation of a washing table to his wife
at Christmas. 1850. At that time he
had long escaped poverty, but could
conceive no more pleasing gift than
this most unitarian article which he
promised in a note, which the curious
may still read at his house in Cheyne
row: 1.-THE Prophecy of a Washstand

ings on her bonny face. and be it ever
blitbesome, as it is dear, blithe or not.

clocks strike midnight. exclaimed: God
bless my soul! It's Christmas day.

spoke of q washstand the other day.
She shall have it." and forthwith pen
ned the promise thereof. Anyway, he
gave a five pound note, and Mrs. Car
lyle bought a marble and mahogany

Dolly

The greater part of the holly that Is
used for Christmas decoration in the
western part of the United States
comes from southern Arkansas and
Texas. where the American holly" at
tains a greater size aud a more perfect
form than anywhere else in this coun-
try. 1t grows there to a height of from
forty to fifty ieet.
The native hollies, some of them
evergreen, others deciduous in habit,
are as a family of considerable interest
at this time. The group of plants to
which these belong, known botanlcally
as the lex family, some of which are
shrubs and some of tree size, is widely
distributed through the tropical and
temperate regions of the globe. About
a dozen of its members are native TO
eastern North America; five attain to
the dignity of trees. Four of these be-
long only to res ions southwark of New
England, but one brings its n%ortherly
range to the vicinity of Boston.
1t is evergreen in habit, like its Eng
fish cousin. which it resembles also in
general appearance and particularly in
It's leaves. which are rather oval in
shape, though small at both ends, with
edges coarsely toothed and armed with
sharp spines, st ff in texture, wavy and
picturesque in surface and effect and
Of a dark glossy green color.
In the autumn the trees show rich
clusters of red berries cleaning
through the foliage in the most cheer
full manner. They may. in fact, take
the place in some degree of the de-
lightful British plant, which most un-
fortunately will not endure our eli
mate, though one sees its plump form
f1ourishing in the most rugged health
around the wooded shores of Loeb Lo-
mond, in Scotland. and that Is nearly
as far north as the middle of Hudson
bay. in British North America.

LEGENDS OF ST. NICHOLAS.
How He Became Known as Patron of
Children and of Gifts.

An ancient Italian life of st. Nicho-
las recites how he became the patron
of children. Once upon a time the ons
of an Asiatic gentleman were sent to
Athens to be educated. On their way
their father enjoined them to visit the
great bishop of Myra and secure his
benediction. They reached there late
one night and sought shelter in an inn.
The wicked landlord, observing their
prosperous exterior, concluded to rob
them and destroy the evidence of his
crime. Having murdered them in their
sleep, he dismembered the bodies and
concealed the pieces in a pickle tub.
But a vision had appeared to st. Nicho-
las, and he fastened to accuse the land
lord, who, seized with remorse, con-
fessed all. Then he implored the in
tercession of the saint, and the latter,
struck by his p%enitence, prayed for the
restoration of the youths to life. In
stantly the latter arose. and the par
don of their slayer was assured.
Here is the legend which accounts
for st. Nicholas as the good genius
of the gift season: A certain noble of
his diocese became impoverished, and,
as they had no dowries, the future of
his three daughters was imperiled.
The good saint resolved to succor
them, and, waiting till the small hours
of the morning, he cast through the
open window of the nobleman's bed
chamber three heavy purses of gold.
He hoped to retreat unseen. but the
moon was bright. st. Nicholas was
discovered. although trying to escape.
At the courts of Italian princes there
prevailed an ancient custom called ia
pata," the Spanish word for shoe"
At Christmas time presents were con
cealed in me shoes or slippers Of favor
ed courtiers. in imitation of st. Nicho-
las gifts to the three maideDs of Pa
tara.

it will not be occupied for school pur-

Origin of Gift Giving.

1t is believed by many that our Gus.
tom of giving gifts comes from an old
custom of priests putting on board Of
all outgoing ships Il box for aims
This box was opened at Christmas
time and masses said for the giving
of aims. and it was called a Christ
Mass box. From this has come our
custom of giving boxes and gifts.
