CHRISTMAS RITES
IN MANY LANDS

During the progress OF Christianity
| in many lands and through many CEN
turtles, various races and religions
have contributed to the superstitious
obseryances connected with scelebrat-
| ing the birth of Christ. Pagan ideas
and feasts have formed the back
ground for many an inroad on the mis-
sion of the Nazarene, SO that the two,
faith and festival, are now SO woven
| together in some celebrations that it
is difficult to trace the sources.
In commemoration of the fact that
Christ as an infant had lain upon
straw, it became the custom to strew
| the houses and churches with straw
| From this practice rose many super
stitions. In Sweden the custom still
prevails, and it is believed in that
county that if offered to cattle when
| they are sent out to pasture again,
such straw protects the stock from
disease.
| In the province of Thuringia, for
| the purpose of having good harvest,
| it is common to tie bundles of wet
straw around the trunks of fruit trees
on Christmas night. In Gottingen,
Germany. cattle feeding in the open
air on Christmas night are believed
to be greatly benefited. and among the
| Hessians the cloths with which horses
are rubbed down are exposed on the
same night in the belief that a more
lustrous coat of hair will be the re-
suit.
| In the far north, legends are con-
Injected in many WAYS with Christmas.
A young country girl who desires to
know whether she shall wed goes to
the poultry house at midnight and raps
