CHRISTMAS FEAST FOR BIRDS
Feathery Tribe in Bosnia Not Forgot
ten---Food Placed Near Nests
and Shelters. $s5s

Ar~7HRISTA1ASi is not merely. a
festival celebrated by and
~ for man alone. Among the
folklore Of other countries
are several quaint stories
in which animals and birds give EVIL
dence = Of their alteration. "A we'll
known Bosnian legend offers q version
of world-adoration. They claim that
on the holy day ''the sun In the east
bowed down, the stars stood still; the
mountains and forests shook and
touched the earth with their SUBMITS,
and the green pine tree bent; the
grass was be-doWered with the open,
ing of blossoms; incense sweet as
myrrh pervaded upland and forest;
birds sang on the mountain tops and
all give thanks to the great God.'
In Bosnia on Christmas Day sheaf
Of rye is put near birds nests and
bird houses for the birds Christmas.
An old Indian legend says that on
Christmas night all the deer in the
forest kneel In alteration before the
Great Spirit. Woe to him, however,
who tries to spy upon them. He is
punished with perpetual stiffening Of
the knees.
Many people of the Old World
claim that on Christmas night animals
are gifted with speech, but none must
trespass or eavesdrop.
Many and many have been the tales
which account for thu robins red
breast. In great many parts of Europe
he is called the Savior's bird, and a
story is told that when the Christ was
crucifed the robin, unable to stand
His suffering, ventured to pluck the
thorns from His head. In doing so, the
blood stained the robins breast, which
sign he wears today.

USE Of CHRISTMAS STOCKING
Custom Comes From Sunny Italy
Where Poor First Used Long
Knitted Purses.

~ stockings on Christmas Eve
- comes to US from a land far
across the ocean - from
sunny Italy.
In the city Of Padua, long ago, GOOD
old st. Nicholas used to go about the
streets after dark and throw through
the windows of the homes Of the poor
people long knitted purses, tied at
both ends and containing much need
ed coins. These purses were made OF
yarn, and when united looked not I'M
like footless stocking.
Finally as time went on, the poor
people, hoping thus to remind the
more fortunate of their needs, used to
hang these empty purses out of the
windows on the night before Christ
mas, so that a gift might be placed
in them.
In the north country, where the
weather is cold at Christmas time, the
purses were hung by the chimney
place in the hope that st. Nicholas
would drop his offering down the
chimney.
When the purses went out of fashion
stockings as the thing most like them
were used In their stead, and that is
why we today still observe the prac
tice and the custom.

CHRISTMAS DAY In ICELAND.

Happiness.

- NlOCH a strong-winged thing
Is Christmas Cheer that it
- has betaken itself even to
that isolated island of the
far north, where the short
est day is four hours long, and where
at Christmas time the sun. does not
rise above the horizon for a week.
Christmas is a great day with the
people Of Iceland and they still cling
to all their old customs and songs and
the day to them is one Of great hap
piness.
One Of their favorite old songs is
filled with simplicity that is touching
and yet gives a glimpse of a philos-
ophy of life that is pretty fine:
When I go good and think Alright
At peace with man, resigned to God.
Thou lookst on me with eyes of light,
Tasting new joys in joys abode
