AnrW il BESTOWING GIFTS IN SECRET Practice of Putting Out Shoes and Stockings Resulted From Plan of St. Nicholas. Christmas stocklJigs have colho down to us from the good St: Nicholas, who was a saint of the fourth century of the Christian era and was born Dc ceinhe' Oi, 3.1, in Lyela, Asia Minor. Vlo was regarded as especially the pa tron sainiit of c'hildren, ymntlg girls and sailors. The Christmais _tocking cus tomi arose as fol lows : It seems that St. Nicholas, who was the a'hbibhoii t of lyra, lived In tho Fanie1t town't w\ith 1 1;on i~ impve i(e no bl1"1 n who \11, lwn useI e ll4 no por.. ti to i 'e i h ::il tr i a ud, 1in .,h it m i~ i t I this : b1' st d .u::h. .The 1.i im S. , i. 11' II jn' I' * 1' i i i 'l th.e \'11n t h bt ais'1 I b(11ble 11' l 'I of the s nt' d'ltIil daI h Ii It' . On the thIird visit the lather, watching for his be'nefllactor, Iast hhnself at the fevt of th sa int anlid cried "Oh, St. Nicholas, servant of God, why seek to hide thyself?" The saint made the father promiso not to reveal his benefactions. From this habit of bestowing gifts in secret and under the cloak of night arose the practice of putting out shoes or stock ings for the younger members of the family so that the good saint would bo able to fill them without being spied on. STAR-BEAMS. While the stars of Christmas shine, Lighting the skies, Let only loving looks Beat from your eyes. While the hells of Christmas ring, Jioyous and clear, Speak only happy words, A llMirth andt cheer, Give rAlly loving gifts, Anti in love take; Olanden the poor and sad, For love's dear sako. -Chicago Dally Nows.

Although nmeh has been writ ten up on the subject of Christmas in Beth lehem, writes Harold J. Shepstone in the Ide World, and we hlve had glowing accounts of Its gorgeous pro cesis asnmlld ceremonies, none appears to have been hold enough to thell the world of the distressing scene which may be witnessed In the one spot on earth where man would expect peace to reign to that glad season of the year. Christmas is -a long business at Bethlehem. First come the Latin cere moniles, whleh take place on December 25, followed 13 days later by the Greek services, while 13 days later comes the Armenian Christmas feast. The serv ices are held in the Church of the Na tivity, one of the most remarkable edi flees in the world. The holy of holies of the church is the grotto or manger. It is a small underground chamber, said to be the actual site of the stable where the Sadoor was born. Just In front of the altlr is a silver star, let into the marble floor, said to mark the exact srt of the nativity. In the various ceremonies the bit terest rivalry exists between the vari ous sects, anto ea during the ordinary services Turkish sohliers have to be on guard hay and night in the church to prevent s r fe. On special occasions, such as ,heristas time, an extra force of soldiers is necessary If order to be maintained. It is durinug Christmas fesivities that.1ie church is cleaned.
