that a deep silence rested upon the
world, the birds stopped in their flight,
the cattle ceased to feed, men became
motionless with sudden awe in the
midst of their labors, and the stars
glittered with added luster. From this
tradition came the superstitlons Of the
middle ages relating to the miraculous
phenomena supposed to occur annu-
ally at Christmas, many Of which still
survive.
Bells, too, have their legends. In a
village near Raleigh, in Nottingham
shire, England, there is now a valley
where once there was a picturesque
and prosperous village, but an earth
quake swallowed 1t up; yet every
Christmas since, the bells of the bur.
led church are heard Ginning.

the Saviour came as q beggar and went
from door to door; but, although
Christmas festivities were being kept

SUFFERED FOR OTHERS SIN
Pathetic Story Told as an Example Of
the Peril That Lies IN
Inefficieney.

A. r. Hawley, president of the Aero
club, told In New York the other day
an ineficlency story.
Beware the inefficient man." he
said, "for If you have dealings with
him 1t Is you, not he, that will suffer
from his lneficiency.
"a foreigner In outlandish garb
claiming to be an Armenian came here
to solicit funds last year for his com
patriots. 1t happened that another
Armenian was arrested at the time,
and the first chap was asked to go to
court and act as his Interpreter.
"Well, he reluctantly consented to
act, though the truth was that he knew
no Armenian whatever. Anyhow he
stalked into the courtroom, listened In
grave silence to the prisoners pas
si0nate protestations Of innocence, and
then turned to the Judge and said with
a Tow bow.
Your honor, my compatriot has
confessed all. He begs you, however,
to be lenient for suffering Armenia's
sake
"The judge thanked the Interpreter
warmly for his services. and then sem
fenced the innocent prisoner to five
years hard labor"

Some Legends
of Christmas
Celebrations

TyHE original "halcyon days"
we're at Christmas, and were
s~o-called because the halcyon,
an ancient name for the king
fisher, was said to build its nest upon
the waters at this time of year. 1t was
generally supposed that this bird,
through the influence of the holy sea-
son, had the power to still the waves
and winds, so that the weather was
peaceful and calm, and enabled the
halcyon to lay her eggs in her floating
nest and brood upon them with perfect
safety.
In olden times IT was believed that
all nature testified In various ways to
a recognition Of the great event COM
memorated In the celebration Of Christ
mas. The winds and seas. as well as
the animals and plants and all other
living things, gave evidence Of knowl-
edge Of the approaching glorious amir
versary and became imbued with the
prevalent spirit Of alteration, Joy and
peace.
Tradition tells us that at the mo-
ment Of the Savior's birth a universal
peace relEned throughout the earth.
