The Spanish Santa Claus.

n"Spain, however, it is not Santa
Claus, but one of the three kings. no
less a person. indeed, than BalthaSar,
who is the purveyor of gifts. He is
always represented as a negro. even
in the pictures of the old masters. and
as such he survives in Spanish legend.
On the eve of the Epiphany the chill
dren leave their shoes and boots out in
some convenient spot near the chin
ney, to find them laden with gifts in
the morning. Boots, in fact, preceded
the stocking everywhere, the superior
advantages of the latter as recep-
tacle having been recent discovery.
In Belgium to this day the children
give their shoes an extra fine polish on
Christmas eve, fill them with hay, oats
or carrots for Santa Claus white horse
and put them on the table or set them
in the fireplace. The room is then
carefully closed and the door locked.
In the morning q strange thing is
found to have occurred. The furniture
is all turned topsy turvy, the fodder
has been removed from the shoes. and
in its place the good little children find
all sorts of nice things and the bad
ones only rods made of birch. In 9th.
er localities baskets, dishes and wood
en- ware are made the receptacles. But
the elasticity of the stocking, its
adaptability" and the fact that, while
it preserves the individuality of the
owner like a shoe, it may yet be clean
ed and made ready for the reception
of edible preSents-theSe characters-
tics have caused it to grow into general
favor among the juvenile votaries of
Santa Claus.

Derived From Days of Yore.

1t is beautiful arrangement and de-
rived from the days of yore that this
FESTIVAL which commemoratss the an
nouncement of the religion of peace
and love, has been made the season
for gathering together of family con-
nections and drawing closer again
those bands of kindred hearts which
the cares and pleasures and sorrows of
the world are continually operating to
cast loose of calling back the children
OF family who have launched forth
In life and wandered widely asunder,
once more to assemble about the pater-
nal hearth, that rallying place of the
directions, there to grow young and
loving again.-Washington Irving.

who have SCOrned each other or injur-
And then there's that grand old hymn
"Adeste Fideles," sung in every church
in this land and in others, at this
Christmas season:
Oh, come, all ye faithful,
JOytW and triumpHdnt!
come ye, oh, come ye to Bethlehem
Christmas would not be Christmas,
of course, if the "waitS" were to neg
lect one other of the most beautiful of
old carols:
Holy night, peaceful night!
Through the darkness beams light.
Holy night, peaceful night!
Through the darkness beams a light!
YOnder, Uhere they Slceet uigilS keep
Ger the babe lchO, IN silent sleep,
Rests in heduenly peace,
Rests in hedvenly peace.
If there are any of you who have
in mind an after Christmas dinner even
ing of Song to the accompaniment of a
harpslchOrd, spinet, lutte or piano
OT even the modern and much adver-
tised disk machine, it might be we'll to
try this on the company:
"Hark the Herald Angels Sing."
Hdrk! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the nelCbOrn king;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God dHd sinners recsnciled!
joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph Of the skies,
With the angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
HarkJ The herald angles sing,
Glory to the nelcbOrn king!

old carols.
In several American cities has been
revived the beautiful old custom of the

And this too:
Hdrb! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the ne1Cb0rn king.

Perhaps, too, they will sing what is
said totbe the earliest known Christ

which begins:

and "drinkhail' being the usual and
courteous Acknowledgements.
One of the best known of all the old
carols, although not one of the oldest,
was written by Nahum Tate in 1903
and is called the "SOng of the Angels"
