A writer In the Pail Mall Gazette
thus speculated concerning the amalga-
nation of Christmas eve and st. .Nicho-
las eve: perhaps the amalgafnation
Of the two festivals was brought about
by motives of economy, the giving Of
presents on December 8 and again on
December 25 constituting too heavy a
toll on parental purses. That this was
the case appears to be proved by the
custom prevailing in Catholic Germany,
where st. Nicholas duly appears In
each home on December 8, and, inquir-
ing into the conduct of the children,
rewards the worthy with fruits and
cakes and lectures the unworthy on the
duty of obedience. He then asks the
Christ Child to bring them at Christ
mas, and on the morning Of that day
they usually find the desired articles in
the shoes which they placed overnight
on the hearth. This variation of the
original Nicholas eve custom, for so
long obsolete in England, probably ac-
counts for our possession of Santa
Claus in his present form. He Is
supposed to have been an importation
from America about 40 years ago
Gas little earlier we had derived the
Christmas tree from Germany on the
initiation Of the prince consort, hus-
band Of Queen victoria)"

The Christina. Spirit.

However 1t ninyl be, when Christmas
comes 1t finds ms all to a greater OF
less degree ready to cry "A merry
Christmas to all" and to the best of
our ability keep 1t with good cheer.
Deep down in our hearts every one Of
us cherishes what may be called the
Christmas sentiment. Even If we go,
as 50 many have done of past years,
outside of the walls Of our own home
we still observe our Yuietide in a more
or less conventional manner We may
escape our relatives save ourselves the
bother of home preparations. pretend
that we have cut adrift from the old
fashioned methods, but it all amounts
in reality TO the same thing. We are
animated, after all by the same spirit,
whether we are in country house. a
fat, restaurant or hotel.

The First Christmas Day
Told For the Littlest Children

II ISTEN dear little children, and
you shall hear about the very first
Christmas day.
1t was in a country across the sea-
far away from here, that some shep-
herds were watching their fiocks one
night. The sheep were resting on the
grass, the little lambs were fast asleep
beside their mothers, but the kind shep-
herds were not asleep. They were
watching that no harm should happen
to the sheep.
Perhaps they were looking up at the
stars and the beautiful moon above
them when suddenly there appeared a
wonderful light in the sky, brighter
than the moon, or stars, as If the sky
had opened and they saw the glory
within.
While the shepherds were looking up,
wondering what was the cause of that
strange light, a beautiful shining angel
came near to them and said:
"Fear not. / bring you good tidings
which shall be to all people. This day
is born Savior, and ye shall find the
babe lying in a manger."
And suddenly the angel was Joined
by multitude of the heavenly host
singing praises to God. This was their
song:
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
Peace, good will toward men.
When the angels had gone back to
heaven the shepherds said they would
60 to Bethlehem and see this Savior
of whom the angels sang. They went
and found him, little baby, in sta
BILE, with no cradle to lie in, only a
manger for his bed. That little baby
was Jesus. who when he grew up said:
''Let the little children come unto me
and forbid them not, for Of such is the
kingdom Of heaven" His birthday
was the first Christmas day, and ever
since that time we kept that day az
Joyful and happy one.-New York
