Now, the Santa Inns o? to-ilay is simply that old Jolly uu souefw'r1 up, washuu uuu piuiiiv-u. Tho Dionysln of the'. Greeks, tbo Sat fnallh of the Roman*, the Twelve fights of the old Norsemen and of the 'fiitOJW all celebrated the coming Of a* USnterHolstlco. People then gave tie motives lip to all sorts of revelry nil excess. In the Dionysla the i;epre fntatlve figure was not the young 'ionyiois. or..pac.ciius, ..but the aged, lii-cry and disreputable Sllenus, the ltief of tho Satyrs, or the god of Iruuk'ards. ' -In the Saturnalia It was 'Htur.n, in the Germane" feasts it was 'hor, both long bearded and white inlrod gods^Hke Silenus. Now. although the central figure of he/Chrlstlan festival Is the child God. ho Christ Kindlejn, the- influence of flong pngah custom was too strong vltiiln the breasts of the early Chris it* n? to be easily superseded. The tra ljtlon of hoary age as tho true repre ^ntative of the dying year and its at endant .Jollifications still remained moldering under the ashes of the past. |lt lu^rst Into new flame when the past ivn? too far back to be looked upon viHi'the fear and antagonism of the hureh,. and there seemed no longer nny danger oC\a relapse into pagan Ism. _At _firiit, However, the more dig nified. rept'efcgutatjve wa* choscn as . esenti _ more In keAhig with the occasion.

At first Kt. Nicholas did not supersede the Christ child, hut ac companied Him in Ilis CJirUtiluifi trav els, as, indeed, lie still does in certain rural, neighborhoods of Europe where the modern spirit has been least felt. St. Nicholas, according to the hagi>6 logists, was a bishop of Myra, who flourished early in the fourth century, lie is tj^e patron ol' children and school boys. - It is strange that everywhere St. Nicholas is most honored and his feast day most observed the ipost pious and instructed among the common peopie know little of the legend of the saint. Koch carcics a basket. Tho devils blacken t heir faces and ad<? horns of pigs' snoots or such otlu>r fantastic de? vices ait tho Ingenuity of boyhood can devise. They aro girt with chains, which (hoy shake or rattle furMunly. It Ik thought mnch better fun to ho a devil than an anted, hence the nninbcr of the former I* only limited to the number of boys who are a bib to com mand tlu' necessary regalia. In the twilight Of tho evening of December 0 the good bishop and his suite begin their round of visits, It U the season for juvenile parties, and almost ail the children Of the village are collected In a few separate houses, each i>f which St. Nicholas visits in turn. He enters with tile two angels, , while his swar thy followers are left to play, their pranks outside. A great silence falls up<m tJui^ohildron, and one by one th'ey are eallc<n,up and examined ,by the saint. This part of the evening's busi ness is carried on with the greatest se riousness and decorum. Simple relig ious questions suited to th(? age of each child are propounded, after which l\ has to siny hymns and recite pray ers, If the ordeal Is successfully ptiKscdUiljc angels present it with nuts a;id apples. If It falls It has to, stand aside. When the examination Is envied the devils are called In. They are not allowed to approach tho good children, but tuny t^nse and frighten the naughty ones as jnueh as they like. They do this at first as a ^natter of dutV- Duty is followed by tno pleasures whose anticipation had caused them to enlist?pleasures which consist in strange dances and antics, and in. pursuing the larger girls with tho attempt to blacEren^ their faces, i heir' whole appearance is Intended to Im? grotesque and farcical. For tho en lire evening tlii-J are alhhved full; li cense in the villages,' though In some of the towns the festival has, for good reasons, been prohibited. For weeks before the eve of St. Nicholas a devil may occasionally be seen at the win dow of some cottage where the chil dren are supposed to be naughty or their elder sister is known to be par ticularly attractive. It is proof of the sound nerves of tho children that 110 harm comes from the ordeal. * Wli0ii St. Nicholas has left the chil dren return to their own ltomcs, but they do not Indie vo that the generosity of the saintly bishop has been ex hausted. After saying their prayers and going to bed thefy place dishes or baskets .upon the wlndowSlIl, Wjth their names written within them, and in these their parents deposit small presents, which their little- sous and dauglitei-s fancy he hns'brouglit. In many places, the* bugbear over shadows in importance both the Christ child and St. Nicholas. He appears under different names and in different guises. In .Lower Austria he 1s the frightful Krampus, -with his clanking chains and horrible devil's mask, who. notwithstanding his glided nuts and apples, gingerbread and toys, w4ilch lie carries In Ills basket, is the terror of the nursery. In Hanover, Holsteln and Mecklenburg lie 1s known as C'ias. In Silesia his name is Joseph. Glvpistmas Eve in B l .t^ys the I^tlo Carol Sirgf?rs. When tlio average visitor arrives in Brittany for the first time he generally nibs his eyes to tincl out whether he is asleep or awake, for he discovers a I land so novel In ifs aspect, a people so qiiaint in manners, customs ami clothes, that it all s-tenis like a (lreinm froln which lie will presently awake to the nineteenth century he certainly leaves once the confines of tM? land are passed. Think of a low,, flat coun try, wlOi a strange growth of gnaiMed, queer-tooklng trees, of great "stretches of plains with dark, surging grasses, only now and then a low hovel of a thatched stone house, iu which the na tives and their live stock, particularly the pigs, dwell together. It is a place of little Joy of living, for the land is ungrateful, and it re quires nlY tbe energies of the husband mau to get even the smallest return tor bis work. The poverty is appalling and beggary Is on all sides. The peas ants rarely eat meat becausc of its "'cost.
