Prove, I 0 tTii'fiii Ancestry of Santa WHAT Is Snnta Claus' age? Tho Jolly. roistering. potbellied. ever young old fel- | low that wo know has made his appearance on earth In so many guises that the secret of his first coming threatens to remain forever veiled iu the midst of antiquity. No one can say with any certainty Just when he first made his appearance among pre historic men, for merry old Santa in one form or another delighted children's hearts In many a pagan household centuries befoho the commencement of the Christian era and prior to any recorded history. The name of Santa Clans, by which he Is known In America. Is the Dutch pet name for St. Nicholas. The name Krlss Krlngle, by which he Is known in England, Is a corruption of Christ Kindlein or the Christ Child. But the festivities that distinguish Christinas existed long before Christianity, and a Jolly god of good cheer appears as tire personification of the period from the earlier pagan times. Now the Santa Clans of today Is simply that old Jolly god sobered up, washed and purified. The Dlonyslu of the Creeks, the Saturnalia of the Romans, the Twelve ,>iguis or ino old Norsemen nnd of the Teutons nil celebrated the coming of the winter solstice. People then gave themselves lip to all sorts of revelry and excess In the Dlonysla the representative figure was not the young Dionysus or Bacchus, but the aged, cheery nnd disreputable Slleuus. the chief of the Satyrs and the god of drunkards. In the Saturnalia it was Saturn; In the Germanic feasts It was Tlior, both long bearded nnd white haired gods like Silenus. Now, although the central figure of the Christian festival is the child God, the Christ Kindleln, the influence of long pagan custom was too strong within the breasts of the early Chrisflans to bo easily superseded. The tradition of hoary age as the true lepre sentatlve of the dying year and Its at tendant Jollifications still remained smoldering tinder the ashes of the past. It burst into new flame when the past was too far back to bo looked upon with the fear nnd antagonism of the church and there seemed no longer any danger of a relapse Into paganism. At first, however, the more dignified representative was chosen as more in keeping with the occasion. Saturn was unconsciously robnptlzed as St Nicholas, the name of the saint whose festival occurs In December and who aa the patron of young people is especially fitted for the patronage of the festival which hns come to he looked upon as especially that of the young At first St. Nicholas did not supersede the Christ Child, hut accompanied him In his Christmas travels, as, Indeed, he still does In certain rural neighborhoods of Eurone whero the modern spirit has been least felt St. Nicholas, according to the haglologlst was n bishop of Myra, who flourished early In the fourth century He Is tho patron of children and schoolboys. It Is strange that everywhere St Nicholas Is most honored and his feast day most observed tho most pious and Instructed among the common people know little of the legend of tho saint. He Is treated with that mixture of seriousness and frivolity which becomes a dying myth. In southern Germany and Austria a youth garbed as St Nicholas and accompanied by two angels and a whole troop of devils in hideous masquerade, with blackened faces and clanking chains, on Dec. 5 (St Nicholas' festal day) makes a round of certain houses where the little ones of the village have been collected. To the good children he brings gifts of nuts and ap pies, while the naughty ones are left to the devices of the satanic followers In his train. In many places the bugbear over shadows In importance both the Christ Child nnd St. Nicholas. lie appears under different names nnd In different guises. In I.ower Austrin lie is the ? frightful K rani pus. with his clanking | chains nnd horrible devil's mask. who. notwithstanding his gilded nuts nnd apples, gingerbread nnd toys, which he carries In his basket, is the terror of the nursery. In Hanover. Iloistein nnd Mecklenburg ho is known as Clas In Silesia his name Is Joseph. Sometimes the bugbear was a female. In Lower Austria she wns called the Budolfrau. In Suabla it was the Rerchtel who chastised children, that did not spin diligently, with rods, but rewarded the industrious with dried pears, apples and nuts. The female bogy survives especially in Russia nnd In Italy. In the former place she Is known as the Bnboushkn. In the latter ns the Refnnn Vlnfnnn la i corruption of Eplplmnln or Epiphany, for It Is on Epiphany, Jan. 0, that the Italians make presents to their children In commemoration of the Rifts ?lven by the three wise men to Christ >n that date.
