CHRISTMAS CHILDHOOD.

Christmas is, perforce, a winter fes-

their child voices! The concert of the
morning stars, what were they to the
natural unframed melody of innocent
childhood in its joyous expectations?
A brief, bright morning picture with
fervid expectant fancy attuned to
peace and good will to men," a sacred,
solemn, confident, joyous, peace" a

SACRED MISTLETOE.

The druids with ceremonies of great
solemnity used to collect mistletoe with
a golden sickle against the festival of
winter solstice." Only the oaks bear
ing mistletoe were sacred to this an
cient order of men.
1t is recorded that the peoples rev.
erence for the priests proceeded in
great measure finn the cures which
the priests effected by means of this
curious green plant of the pear-like
berries. 1t was collected thus cere-
moniously by the druids because it was
supposed to drive away evil spirits.
The reason among the druids for
bringing in bits Of evergreen from the
woods and adjoining the house is a
most charming and lovable one: "The
houses were decked with evergreen
in December that the Sylvan spirits
might repair to them and remain un-
nipped with frost and cold winds until
a milder season had renewed the foli-
age of their darling abodes.""-Crafts-
man.

CHRISTMAS AND FEAST TIME
illustrating the Multiplication of Food
When Christ Made Starvation
Into a Banquet.

In the story of the feeding of the
multitude, there was more food after
the feast than there was in the begin
ming; for the feast began with what
one boy had in basket, but it took
twelve boys and twelve baskets to
carry away the fragments left on the
tables and the grass. The explanation
Is given us in the statement that the
Divine Lord presided at the outdoor
table, and had made starvation into
banquet.
The story illustrates well the null
tiplication of beauty when great
religion and great philosophy repose
beneath it, for what was one basketful
when the hungry ones began to eat
becomes afterward more basketfuls
than many hands can carry away from
the blessed field. Christmas is the
twelve baskets full found remaining
from the first simple arts, and It
should be an adequate explanation for
us that great Savior has passed over
the banqueting ground-swing.-Ex-

First Christmas Celebration.

The birth of Christ was not original
ly observed at this time of the year.
1t was not until nearly 100 years after
his death that there was any attempt
at a celebration of the event at all,
and then for 800 years or more it was
celebrated at various times in the year
by the Christians in different parts OF
the world. Some chose the 1st and
some the 9th of January, others the
Goth Of March, the time of the Jewish
passover, while still others observed
the day on the Doth of September, the
feast of the tabernacles. The 10th of
April and the Goth of May were also
kept as the birthday of Christ. By
the fifth century, however the 25th of
December was the day generally adopt

SOME ODD GERMAN BELNS
Many Peculiar Christmas Supersti-
lions Still Persist in the Land
of the Kaiser.

Here are few of the odd Christmas
superstitiOns that still persist in Ger
many:
If dog bowls the night before
Christmas, it will 60 mad within the
year.
If the light is extinguished on Christ
mas eve, someone in the house will
die.
If you steal anything on Christmas
eve without being caught, you can
steal safely for year.
If you eat raw egg after feasting
on Christmas morning, you will be able
to carry heavy weights.
1t is unlucky to carry anything from
the house on Christmas morning, un-
til something has been brought in.
If the fire burns brightly on Christ
mas morning, II will tell Of prosperity;
If it smOlders, misfortunes.
Another belief current in certain
sections Of Germany is that If one
