In Holland a pretty custom exists, On tho night before Christmas, In com memonitloii of tho star of tho east, the j young men of tho town nsseinblo nnil carry through the dark streets a large. j bright star. All the people go out to I greet It and gtvo to tho bearers of tho. "star of Hethlehem," as it Is culled, ' alms for tho poor. fKFVftsK Christmases In Various Lands PnVOXSIIinn, Knglnnd, noted for Its apples, boasts a curious cus tom. On Christmas cvo tho farmer and bis sou stand beneath the oldost and best npplo tree, both bear lug a Jug of elder, mid slug a certain folk song. After pnsslng tho elder Jug around they betako themselves home to a good supper and much morrymaklng. Tho Jamaica negroes collect all bits of odds and ends of flnory with which to nrray themselves on Christmas cvo nnd, choosing n king and queen, follow these leaders about, making as much uolso as possible. Tho custom of giving gifts at Christ mas came not from tho presents of gold, nnd silver given to tho Christ Child, as many bollove, but from an old custom of prlosts putting on board of all outgoing ships n box of alms. Tho box was opened at Christmas tldo nnd masses said for tho givers of tho alms Was thero over a wider or more lov ing conspiracy than that which keeps tho venerable llguro of Santa Claim from slipping away, with all tho other old tlmo myths, Into the forsaken won derland of the past? Of all the per sonages whoso marvelous doings once llllcd the nil nils of men ho alone sur vives. Ho hns outlived nil tho great gods, and nil tho Impressive and poetic conceptions which onco lllited between heaven and earth thoso have gone, but Santa Clans remains by virtue of 11 common understanding that child hood shall not bo despoiled of one of ItH most cherished beliefs, cither by tho mythologlst, with his sun myth theory, or tho scientist, with Ids heart less diatribe against suporstltlou. ' There Is a good deal more to bo said on this subject If this were the plaeo to say It. Mveu superstition has its uses and sometimes Its sound heart of truth. Ho who does not hoo In tho legend of Santa Clans a bonutlful faith on ono sldo ami tho nutvo embodiment of a dlvlno fact on tho other Is not lit 4o Jiavo a place at tho Christmas board. For him thero should bo nei ther carol nor holly nor mlstletoo. They only shall keep tho feast to whom all thoso things nro but tho out ward and visible signs of an Inward and spiritual erneo.
