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. Hamilton Wright
Malile.

"Peace on Karth, flood Will to Men."
This sentence, blazing from a brll

Marine band, a lingo electric star or
the oast and n chorus of 1,000 singers,
with tho capltol Itself outlined as the
background against tho dark -curtain
of tho sky, made a scene of linprosslvo
beauty. Tableaux representing the
story of the Nativity were presented
In the improvised nmphlthontor. In
tho audience were many men nnd worn
en woll known throughout tho country,
including high government otllelals.

The Christinas tree Is rooted detp In lovo;
Its verdant branches lower far above
Its fruit are emblems ot u fairer clime:

And fntth and hope aiiionu Its treasures

And. cai th once more becomes on Eden
