CHRISTMAS PLEASURES.
The Time-HonOred Mistletoe-Burn-
ing OF the Yule Log.

Christmas and Easter are the two
greatest and happiest days OF
the year. One is depenpent
upon the other in working
out the great plan of salvation, but
the customs of the two days differ en-
tirely. Since about 400 A. ID. the
2Jth Of December has been regarded
as the festival of Nativity by the
Christian world in general, and since
that time customs and traditions
have lived and died, only a lew re-
manning in these days.
The burning of the Yule log IS a
remnant of the old Cloths n sax
ons, the name being derived, ~ Is
popularity supposed, from the winter
solstice festival, called Jul or iuie.
The Yule-log is burned on Christ
mas Eve, amid laughter and play. In
old English poetry the event mas been
duly celebrated, and it was customary
to lay aside a part OF the
wood, keeping 1t safely until the ioi-
lowing Christmas, when IL served 10
light the new log. AT the same time
the preservation OF the wood was q
sure protection against danger to n
dwelling by fire. The mistletoe was
venerated by the Druids, and was also
the fateful plant which caused h
death of Bladder. As to its present
use, there is no need OF say
ing anything, the custom being
one decidedly popular with young
people. On Christmas eve n pow
ers of darkness are spellbound, as the
cock crows throughout the night and
thus keeps all evil spirits away. On
that night the cattle are supposed TO
kneel in their stalls in memory OF h
manager at Bethlehem. The Christmas
tree is another beautiful custom
which has come down to us from
Germany, where it originated. The
mummers, or maskers, on Christmas
eve have passed away in most parts
of England, and the Christmas Mys-
terry play has altogether disappeared.
THE Lord of Misrule, or Mas
ter OF Merry Disports," was the leader
in all Christmas celebration, and he
ruled the households with a rod of
iron. He devised the sports, ar
ranged the celebrations, and did all
in his power to make everyone have
a good time, as became the joyous
In 'The Abbott" by Scott,
the Lord of Misrule is represented by
the Abbott Of U~nreasor, and the
same idea is found in France in the
Pope of Fools
Everyone remembers the little boy
who was frightened away by Scrooge
as he sang through the key hole.
God rest ye, merry gentlemen"
The small boy was a representative
of the waits of the olden time, who
went about on Christmas Eve singing
their merry songs, as we'll as on
Christmas morning. The custom in
some places is in vogue even now or
was until quite recently. The village
children used to march up to the
manor and there sing their carols, re-
ceiving gifts of cake or money in re-
turn.-HdrpeT'S Bazaar.

The judgments which man pass es
upon his fellows are tolerant where
women's are narrow, because, instead
of the one aspect OF the question
which she perceives, he sees many;
they are merciful where hers are cruel,
because he recognizes more fully the
stress of temptation and the complex
ity of motive which lead to Jrang-
erosion, says Oscar Fay Adams in
the North american Re0ie1D. There
have been a few ome who have
have helped their weaker sisters to
rise when they had fallen, but they
are indeed few. The majority of
have done what they could to keep
those who are down still in that posi-
ton. They have refused to believe in
the possibility of reform; they have
withdrawn from all contact with those
who have onc found temptation
greater than they could bear; they
have by their infiexible attitude, made
a return nearly impossible on the
part of those who have once turned
from IL.
Who should be tenderer toward a
woman's sin than a virtuous woman
and who is harder? Oh. you queens,
who have with your virtuous hands
thrust your weaker sisters still fur
Their in the mire; who have shown
aversion where you might have shown
mercy; who have hardened your
hearts, that should have been soft
with pity; who have turned coldIy
aside from those, your sisters, whom
you might have saved, and gone your
ways as though these were not; oh,
you who have lifted from your heads
the crown of gentleness and mercy
that all your sex should wear, are
you not ruthless" indeed?

eleven people on each side. Nothing
IL rarer than to see that number
seated Generally about nine occupy
either side while twenty cling to the
strips. Nobody ever thinks of NOV
Ing up of his own accord. The women

Conductors should be instructed to
see politely but firmly that the seats
are used to their proper capacity.
New York conductors invariably do
it. There is no hardship in forcing
the sitters to make room for the
eleventh man or woman, for the cars
are built so as to accommodate that
number comfortably.
