they are placed with their dam in deep
pit, that they may sec neither man nor
beast, and after having been weaned are
condemned 10 solitary confinement for
six months, at the end of which time
they are put to sledge with other dogs,
and be, ng extremely shy ard frightened
withal, they run as fast as they can until
they become blown and cowed. After
this trial trip they are remanded to their
pit, where they remain, off and on, until
they are thoroughly tired and sledge-
broken. This severe education sours
their temper amazingly, and makes them
anything but companionable. Drivers
are frequently obliged to stun them by a
blow ON the nose before embarrassing
them on account of their savage nature.
Besides drawing sledges they tow boats
up the river in summer and keep their
masters warm i'll winter nights. They
are remarkable weather prophets, and

if when resting on a journey they dig

and not very sharp noses and ears. They
live exclusively on fish, which they catch
for themselves. In winter their ration
comprises forty frozen behring's per day.

very likely derived the practice either
| from the Celtic nations or from the
Saturnalia of the Romans, possibly from
| both. Wherever Druidism existed the
houses were adorned with evergreens, so
that the sylvan spirits might find there
safe shelter from the wind and the frost
The oak mistletoc, an essential element
| in the bloody ceremonies of old magician
| pr ests, has become tenderly significant
of the happiness and love that should
abound ut the Joyous Christmas season.
| When 1T. Augustine arrived in Britain
he was wise enough to utilize
the Pagan customs by giving them n
Christian significance, preserving such
| parts as were innocent in themselves,
and thus it is probable that the practice
of decorating the homes and temples was
continued. Such method has been fol-
lowed successfully by modern mission
and travellers tell us the delight with
which these flowerloviug children bring
their tropical berries and flowers to help
in the identifying of their humble
churches. We III nix it is unquestionable
that the wise spirit OF accommodation
shown by Augustine, in adopting va ious
Pagan ceremonies to the use of Christian
worship was not only the cause of his
success as a missionary, but also the
reasons why, especially, we Irvine at this
season the holy and the bay, and turn
winter into summer.
1t is an historical fact that the I oman
Saturnala were celebrated at the same
time of the year as the fest of Christ
mas, but whether the former had any
thing to do with the latter, by way of
cause or common origin, it is not easy to
decide, nor, indeed, essential. The
Saturnal;a began late in December, and
when we compare the Christmas orgies
and mummeries INDUCED in up to com.
paratively recent times, the resemblance
between the two feasts Is striking, even
in particular details
The time came, however, when in the
strife for the ascendancy, CHI ist 'anity
determined to fight paganiSm with the
latter's own weapons, and the customs
and revelries were carried to such an ex-
tyeme that several early church councils
forbade, among other things. the decora-
tion of private houses after the manner
of the Roman Saturnalia. But the prac-
tice of adjoining churches with flowers
writings of the early Christians will
show. In his work ''De Civitate DeI,"
the African Augustine speaks of floral
decorations, and of miracle wrought
by flowers brought from the shrine of
ST. Stephen. Gregory of Tours praises
the holy Confessor Severns for having
been in the habit oI decorating his
church with lilies. Veaantius Fortuna
