Che Christmas tree, equally with the ‘hristmas card, is a modern innovation in England, dating back only so far as when the Prince Consort ntroduced the custom to delight his and the Queen’s children. He brought the pretty idea from Germany, where Christmas trees are prominent features in every household, high or low, which with children, at Weinachsfest, as the Germans call Yuletide. It did not take long for the Christ mas tree to take root and flourish in England, and in a few years from the day when the Prince Consort introduc- ed it almost every children’s party had as its central feature one of these glori- hed fir trees, large or small, according to the purses of the hosts.—Canadian Home Journal. ( the “Forties,” iS blessed Christmas Boxes. An exchange says that Christmas boxes probably owe their origin to a primitive method, of taking the census. Inthe old days of Rome, as far back as the time of the mythical Servius Tullius, an altar was erected in every village about the time of our pres- ent Christmas, and on it each man, woman or child residing in the district had to drop a single coin, its value being immaterial. . The coins, being counted gave the numbers of the popu lation ; and the amount so subscribed was distributed to the most deserving. The custom lived on; census papers took the place of counters, pockets took the place of altars; the alteration of the faith made on alteration in the sea- sonable custom and it gradually became | modified as we now have it. A Timely Pointer. ‘T’ll give yon a pointer, Mollie’ Said ‘Tommie the other day, If you want certain things at Christ mas, You'd better try my way. ‘It easy and very simple. And always works for I Have tried it many and many a time At Christmases gone by. ‘Write Santa Claus a letter, In your very bestest hand, And give him a list of the things you want- Don’t matter at all how grand. And then, when the letter is written, Just take it to dear old dad, And ask if he thinks the spelling And writing is awful bad. I once wrote a note to Santy And sent it off right away, And not a thing that I asked for Was sent on Christmas day. But the letter I showed to Daddy, To see if it was written right, Brought every thing that I wanted The following Christmas night. I don’t know just how he knows it, But Pa knows a thing or two ‘Bout how old Santy should dressed By kids like meand you. -Harper’s Bazaar Christmas Dreams. be ad [ would rather live iu Dreamland Than in any other clime, For ‘tis there the fairies gather At the merry Christmas time There, old Santa Claus, dwelling Rears its head ’mid ice and snow, There he keeps costly treasures, Piled up high for folks below. I would rather live in dreamland Than in any other yplice, For ’tis all lit up with sunshine, From Santa’s glowing face, It is full of stars and angels, Candle’s bright and Plenty’s horn, And the dreams we have on Christmas eve, Come true on Christmas morn ! Merry Christmas. Now letthe spark of love flame forth, Spread all its grandeur o’er your way And bells ring out their chiming note, On happy Christmas day.” “Now Christmas is come, Let us beat up the drum, And call all our neighbors together ; And when they appear, Let us make such a cheer As will keep out the wind and the weathre.” “At Christmas be merry and thankful with all, And feast thy poor neigbor, the great } with the small.” |THE POPULATION OF EGYPT. “During the last hundred years the popviation of Egypt hasshown a constant increase,” says The Jourual of the Scci vy of Arts.” In 1800 it consisted of 2,460,200 souls, in L846 thisnumber had increased to 4,476,440, and in 1882 to 6,813 919. At the present time the population 18 estimat- ed at 9,734,405,and if it continues to in- crease in the future in the same propor- tion asin the past, it will amount by the year 1912 to about 12,009,000. As regards the distribution of sexe, there ae 4,947,- 850 maies and 4 786 555 females. and these tizures toclade 112.526 foreigners. France has supplied 14,155, the United Kingdom 19,557.

Public instruction leaves much to be de sired, for of the entire population ouly “57,886 persons are able to read and write ; there 'are, therefore, 9,266,819 iv- babirants, or 97 per cent of the aggregate population, completely illiterate. What is even more extraordinary is the fact that 6,480,498 persons,or about two-thirds of the entire population, are without any trade or profession.” NUTES AND COMMENTS. —The Kaiser intends writing hia ‘‘Impressions of the Orient” He is really an Admirable Crichton! He foat ers the fine arts, regulates religious affairs, ocsasionally preaches a sermon, writes dramas, paints pictures, evolves allegories, aad organizes State pageants. He is as familiar with the characteristics of al! the cardinal? as he is with the records of the principal Imperial ballet dancers. For him military ballooning, projectiles, smokeless powders, and quick-firing rifles have no. secrete. Submarine boats, torpedo-destroyers, weird engines of war. are his daily playthings. He finds time to give his Imperisl consort hints on dress and the management of children; designs uniforms, invents tactical prob- lems, acts as dramatic censor, He sees everything, knows everything, and directs everything. He is one of the brainiest men in Europe. Don’t Want Russian Bonds. —_— —- —.. New York, December 20.—A query has been received by J. & W.
