lltfur* the Twelfth Century They Were
Sung In Merry England.
The story of Christmas music from the
earliest days to the present time teems
with interest not alone for the student, but
for all who lore the season of “good will
to men,” and musical observances con
nected with it involve so much that is
quaint, picturesque and suggestive of the
various phases of life and habits of men
that volumes might he written on the sub
ject and yet half the tale not told.
It would seem that in the earlier ages
music of a solemn and measured character
was used for the Christmas season. The
chants, whose various names, "Gregorian,”
"Anglican,” etc., are the result of the
source* they are derived from, date from the
first centuries of Christianity, and are
noble, refined and exalting, aa is the service
proper of both English and Roman churches
today—Christmas demanding music of a
broadly flowing, rich and yet melodious
character, famous singers all the world
over lending their voices to praise God on
the feast of the nativity. But to most
minds the music associated with this dear
festival is the carol—term suggestive of
so much good cheer, happiness and simple
joy that its meaning is readily understood
—from carole, querole, carola, a choral
It would puzzle an antiquarian to know
positively when the first carols were sung
as such, but in England they have been
traditional Christmas music for centuries.
There the bards and minstrels are sup
posed to have introduced them, wandering
at the holy season from house to house
singing carols in which most quaintly the
story of our Lord’s birth and that of the
redemption were told. Before the time of
St. Augustine in Great Britain it is sup
posed that these sweet strange hymns or
recitations were sung, and that rich store
house, the British museum, contains some
so primitive in word and form that there
can be no doubt of their antiquity.
Even before the Twelfth century the cus
tom of singing or chanting these Christ
mas carols gal neu ground, estahlishing that
charming observance seen still iu parts of
England of hands of children going from
bouse to house under the stars of Christ
mas eve, rendering some of the old carols,
like “God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen,” or
"I Saw Three Shi pa Come Sail ing In,” whi le
doors are opened hospitably. There U a
welcome at every fireside, above all where
a ynle log has been lighted. Old Warton,
writing in 1502, commends this custom
“for the glory of God,” and Milton adds
his testimony to its being a worthy and
Christian practice.—Harper’s Baxar.

The Scandinavian legends warn us that
the mistletoe has fatal properties to all
who touch t he sapiu plucking its bunches.
Far away in the north, upon a lonely
mountain top, there dwelt a few peasant
families. An inmate of one of the lowly
dwellings was a young girl—lovely, loving,
beloved by and betrothed to her next
neighbor—a sturdy peasant lad. The young
girl fell sick. To restore her to health her
lover "sought near and far for the precious
mistletoe growing upon an oak. At length
his search was rewarded. Upon a snow
clad oak the coveted bunches hung in gen
erous profusion. With eager, reckless
haste, forgetful of his own danger, he
climbed the oak, seized the life giving or
death dealing plant, as handled, and fell
lifeless to the ground.
A legend of the crucifixion, full of pathos
and beauty, tells the origin of the mistle
toe in its concluding words as follows:
Ever since that day the tree from which
the cross was hewn has never been suffered
to grow as a tree, but only exists as a para
site on other trees.
It is neither fruit nor flower, but bears
clusters of waxy white berries, and saps
the life of any tree to which it attaches
Roast Leg of Venison.
Draw the dry skin from the meat and
wipe with a damp towel. Make a paste
with one quart of flour and a generous pint
roasted in the tin kitchi
hot oven. As the paste browns baste it
frequently with the gravy in the pan.
When it has been cooking one hour and a
half, take eff the paste, cover with butter,
and dredge thickly with flour. Cook one
hour longer, basting frequently with but
ter, salt and flour.
Serve with game sauce or make a gravy
as follows: Pour off all the fat from the
baking pan and put in the pan a cupful of
boiling water. Stir from the sides and
bottom, and set back where it will keep
hot. In a small frying pan put one table
spoonful of butter, a small slice of onion,
six peppercorns and four whole cloves.
Cook until the onion is browned, and then
add a generous teaspqonful of flour. Stir
until this is browned; then gradually add
the gravy iu the pan. Boil one minute.
Strain, and add half a teaspoonful of lemon
juice and three tablespoonfuls of currant
jelly. Serve both venison and gravy very
hot. The time given is for a leg weighing
about fifteen pounds.—Philadelphia Rec

Nearly nineteen centuries ago the leader
of heaven’s starry legions marched from
