Our Christmas Cycl0pedia.

Boar's Head-It was the custom in
merry old England for the butler with
great ceremony to bring into the banquet
hall at Christmas dinner boar's head
ornamented with flowers and ribbons.
AS the smoking dish appeared Latin
song was struck up.
Carols-Originally religious songs
dating back to the second century.
Gradually degenerated until they were
prohibited by clergy. Under Saxon
kings in England they were revived and
q gayer element introduced. Puritans
abolished them and substituted psalms in
1912. At present, in England, merry
songs sung on Christmas morning.
Christmas-Celebration of Christ's NO.
tivity. Appears in history about 100
A. D. The day December IS probably
not real date. At first the day was OBJ
served any time in January, February or
March. December 25 probably adopted
because it is at the winter solstice, when
the sun is nearest the earth. Germans
held a festival at this date before they
were CnrlStlanlZcd.
Christmas -box-A gift made to a
servant or one in lower position than the
donor. An English custom and term.
Christmas Tree-The Catholic Church,
in order to convert the heather Germans,
instituted all manner of festivities,
dramas and songs. Trees decorated
with various ornaments were an out
growth of this same plan. These trees
have always been a characteristic of Ger
man Christmas celebrations.
Lord of Misrule-A man appointed to
superintend the boistercus Christmas
games which were permitted in old Eng
land at Christmas time.
Mistletoe-A parasitical bush to be
found on many trees in southern Eng
land, and more rarely in other localities
and countries. 1t has white translucent
berries, and leaves of yellowish- green
color. It was regarded as sacred plant
by the Druids in early England. The
custom of kissing under the mistletoe ap.
pears in both English and German his
tory. Inc precise origin Vi ILLS cus'oin
is not known.
Santa Claus, st. Nicholas, Kris Kringle
st. Nicholas was saint of the early
church, and his birth was celebrated in
Germany about December 6 with cere-
monies much like those afterward en-
ployed. at Christmas time. Gradually
the celebration of St. NichoIas's day and
of the nativity became idcntic al. Santa
Claus and Kris Kringle Outch) are al
most synonymous with St. Nicholas.
Yule-Log-Yule was the name for the
celebration of the return of the sun or
fre.wheel at the winter solstice. The
yule-log which in England used to be
drawn in and put on the hearth Christmas
eve is relic of re-worship.

Yes, it meant failure. Now they wer.
talking in subdued tones. It was all over
then. They were deliberating how to
break the news to him. John Dunn leaned
forward, covered his face with his hands,
and softly cried. Then he checked his
tears and wiped his cheeks resolutely.
He would put brave face on it for his
mothers sake. 1t was hardest upon her
after all. A step-the step that was now
rarely out of his hearing was on of the
stairs. He pretended to be looking out
of the window when she entered. There
were tears on her eyelashes. She looked
at him so tendcrly as she closed the door
softly and approached him swiftly that
he felt like crying out.
"There! Don't speak mother. I've
been repeating it over and over, THE
Lord will provide some way"
Then the door was opened suddenly,
and Jem bounced in, followed by Sandy.
"I'll bet-why, look at him, Mr..
Rae!"
"I'm crying with joy, John," said
Mrs. Dunn.
''If Mr.. Rae hadn't held me back, I'd
been first to tell you," said Jem with
sparkling eyes.
"There are few men as thoughtful as
Mr.. Rae," said Mrs. Dunn. Sandy
waived the compliment aside by saying,
"Did your mother tell you the best of
it,"
81 have told him nothing. Mr.. Cole
offers ten thousand dollars down for the
half interest, and agrees to provide the
plant"
"Jcm," said John suddenly,"Ill make
you an architect now-that's what you
are born for. What makes you look so
sober, Sandy2"
"I was joost thinkin' talkin' about the
future. It's no so long since we were
puzzlin' our brains about providin' for
ye. Now good luck has come, I'm takin'
the lesson home to myself along wi jther
things. tine Lord will provide. u

MistlefOe Merriment.

There are no corns on the mistletoe.
A green Christmas makes a lean
plumber.
When the Christmas tree gets "dressed
up" it looks spruce.
Some of the children put their Christ
mas stockings on the limbs of the trees.
When the Christmas greens come into
the market you may besure that the holly
days have come.
1t is better that light articles only
should be put on the Christmas tree.
That's why candles are used for that pur-
pose.

CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Ring, merry bells, ring,
In the light of the Christmas morn;
Sing, happy hearts sing,
For your Saviour, the Lord, is born.
/, Follow the star
! To the manger far,
And look on your swaddled King.
Give, worshipers, give,
With the wise from the Eastern plains;
Let the suffering children receive
From the boards of your golden gains.
Then shall ye see
The sweet mystery,
That the Christ-child lives and reigns.
Mario Uphan, Drake.
