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.

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 ord. ing.
