ChristmM Abroad Generally speaking, the only ani- mals that get any attention during the Christmas season in America are the mythical reindeer that brings Santa to town. Across the seas, the ox, the ass, the horse, and other creatures are characters of impor- tance throughout the holiday cele- bration. Among the peoples who have for centuries held on to curiooa beliefs aibout the behavior of the descendant^ of the manger animals on Christmas Eve are the Danes. They say that the ox and the ss know instinctivley the hour of Christ's birth, and will at that ex- act moment ri^ and bow their heeds in honor of the memory. So on Christmas Eve in Denmark, even the stock animals are fed a special hol- iday supper; they are brushed and comibed and made comfortable in night. The Poles and Swisfe credit the ox and ass with even nobler observance of the Holy anniversary. They claim that when the church bells toll the hour of milnight, the animals kneel reverently, and are briefly endowed with human speech. . Not even the birds are forgotten in Denmark, Finland and Norway, where it is the custom to leave plenty of rye or wheat in convenient places outside the houses so the feathered friends, too, may have a Christmas Eve feast. The Swisfe who still cling to the old convictions gather up their chic- ken flocks on Christmas Eve and clip each fowl's wings. This must be done in to insure the chicken's against atbiicks from beasts of prey during the coming year. In Belgium, it is the donkey that is the centre of attraction. The Bel- gian children do not listen for the hoofbeats of reindeer, but for the sound's which herald the approach of the donkey, carrying their St. Nick on his annual rounds. No Bel- gian child goes to bed without first arranging " meal of carrots and bread for the beloved Christmas donkey. â€" Our Dumib Animals. "Why do you have such a high bed for your little boy?"
