The Yuletide Log.

In the Black mountains at the pres
ent day, the custom of bearing home
the yule log is still carefully observed
in all its ancient detail The house ia
ther fells the chosen trees; then he ut
ters prayer and carefully lifts up his
log and bears it home on his shoulder.
His sons follow his example, each bear
ing log for himself. The father then
leans his log up against the house, be-
ing very careful that the freshly cut
end is uppermost; the lesser logs of the
other members surround it, and this is
the Glavni Badnjak. AS the house IA
ther places each log he says, "veseli
badnji dan," or "a merry log day"
The fire thus kindled was not allow
ed to go out until the following year, or
great evil would befall the household.
The fagots of the old fire lighted the
new logs. and then were carefully ex-
tinguished and stored away among tho
household treasures. In the highlands
Of Scotland to this day it is considered
q great misfortune if the fire be allowed
to 60 out. and often have heard it
said, "Yae nae luck, ye've lect oot the
fer. "-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Economizing For Christmas.

There is touch of humor in the petty
economies practiced by many men for
several weeks before Christmas. The
man who has been accustomed to costly
lunches, and who invariably bestows
substantial tip upon the waiter, about
this time of the year is likely to affect
liking for luncheon consisting OF a
sandwich and piece of pie. He does
not smoke quite SO many cigars as for
merly and convinces himself that less
expensive weed Is quite as satisfactory
as his favorite brand. He does not fire.
quent the cafes as much as formerly,
and there is noticeable lack Of his
usual free hearted hospitality when he
encounters his friends in such places.
This strange parsimony which has come
over the man is not due to the fact that
he has met with financial misfortune,
nor that he has suddenly become sordid
and mean. He is merely economizing in
his expenses in order that he may have
more money with which to purchase
Christmas gifts for those he loves. 1t
may be wife or child, mother or SIS
ter, for whom he makes these sacrifices,
and there is no doubt that in the happi-
ness he brings to other hearts he will
find ample compensation for it all. The
Christmas season is marked by innumer-
able instances of self denial. New

Christmas Greens For the Churches.

The most popular method for Christ
mas church decoration just now is to
have a number of gothic designs in
wood, which can be worked out very
easily with evergreen leaves and holly,
producing an excellent effect. These
frames have the advantage Of lasting
from year to year. Wire frames of diff
ferent shapes and sizes are also used to
some extent and prove very desirable
because of their lightness, a large
cross, heart or anchor of wire frame fire.
quently going in places where a similar
article worked on wood could not be
placed. The scarlet berried holly, the
dark green and shining leaved ivy,
green bloom pots of evergreen shrubs
and the red Virginian creeper have all
been utilized latterly for decorating the
churches. Inscriptions by means of holly
berries or in colored immortelles are
also made. the latter being preferred,
because some of the berries used at
Christmas are poisonous, and children
pick them up when they fall to. the
ground Very thin lines of delicate
looking green are carried from side to
side so as to intersect each other in
squares, and the crossed trellis work
thus formed is dotted with flowers. -

The Holly and the Ivy.

From the earliest times green boughs
have been associated as one Of the out
ward expressions of Joy, and repeatedly
in the Bible do we find illusions to
them, notably in Nehemiah, where we
read, go forth unto the mount and
fetch olive bran nches, and pine branches,
and myrtle branches, to make booths
thereof, and there was very great
gladness. Decorations may thus be
claimed as decidedly Scriptural in their
origin. The popular evergreens are rose
mary, bay, laurel, holly and ivy, and In
folklore we have many and frequent
allusions to all of these. The hellebore,
or Christmas rose, and the Christmas
thorn, which flowers about this season,
along with laurestina and arbutus, are
freely used in English decorations. A
very quaint poem tells Of the claims Of
tho ivy and holly for precedence. Pop
ular opinion places the holly inside and
the ivy outside dwelling. Selected.

CHRISTMAS EVE IN PARIS.

night Maso and the Family supper.
On Christmas eve in the homes Of
Paris, when the children are fast asleep,
with the bonnes to watch over them,
the older ones aud the parents go to the
grand high mass, lasting from 10 o'clock
till midnight. This is q very solemn
service and is sung with great ceremo-
ny and with row upon row Of white
veiled nuns. whose narrow belts of blue,
orange or red show their peculiar or
der. kneeling in the transept
just at midnight the mass ends, and
the altar boys snuff the tall candles.
Then the family returns, and there is
the reveillon, or the supper Of waking
the one meal Of the year at which
are gathered the brothers and sisters to
the home of the oldest married child.
There are places for the grandparents,
too, and, if child has been lately born
to swell the family circle, seat Of hon.
or next the grandmere for its mother,
who is queen of the feast.
The Supper" is a great dinner, at
which good will is the order, where
are drunk innumerable glasses Of harm
less, unintoxicating grape wine. and
where toasts are offered to every con-
ceivable good luck, past and to come.
At the reveillon are discussed all the
affairs of the family. II during the year
the relations between two Of its MEM
bers have become strained, all is often
forgiven and forgotten i'll this family
love feast. -
So with toast and rally and story the
hours creep by until it is far into the
small hours, when the party breaks up.

Jocular Christmas gifts.

1t will increase the joy and jollity Of
Christmas morning exceedingly If the
children find that their elders have en-
tered into the spirit of the time to such
a degree that stockings Of all conoeiva-
BILE sizes and shapes bulge with strange
contents over the fireplace. The more
amusing the gifts tucked away in toe
and heel the more uproarious will be
the mirth before breakfast. The old trick
Of. wrapping pair Of cuff buttons In
multitudinous papers until they form a
bundle as big as potato will never
fail to excite interest and enthusiasm.
A jack in the box put in the stocking Of
q staid father Of family has been

glee through whole day, and the most

said would pale in effect before the
amusement caused by the mothers

A CHRISTMAS LEGEND.
The Miraculous Walking Stick of St. Joseph
Took Root and BIossomed.

There is legend interesting in con-
nection with the custom of extending
festivities from Christmas to Twelfth
day, or Epiphany. According to tradi-
tion, st. Joseph, while passing through
the town of Glastonbury, rested ON q
hillside. His walking stick of dry haw-
thorn he thrust into the earth, when it
Immediately took root and the next day
blossomed. Every year thereafter it
blossomed on Christmas day, which was
Jan. 6, old style. This thorn tree had
two trunks and grew to an immense
size. Many singular instances related
of it obtained general credence.
Once in Queen Elizabeth's time a
Puritan, hoping to root out the super
stition attached to it, hewed down the
larger trunk, but when he attacked the
other he was miraculously prevented
from accomplishing his task. His ak
slipped, cutting his leg seriously, and a
chip flew up and put out one Of his
eyes. The severed trunk lay for years
attached to the earth by mere frag-
ment of bark, yet it grew and flourish
ed. Even after 1t was taken away and
thrown into ditch 1t continued to
blossom, while the standing trunk, all
cut and mangled near the roots, spread
out its branches in great circle and
bloomed luxuriantly.
A long time afterward the second
trunk was cut down, but the shoots
from it were said to be growing in
many places, each claiming to be the
Glastonbury thorn. 1t is on record that
when the change of style was made in
1853 people were greatly perplexed, Won
dering ON what day the Glastonbury
thorn would blossom. A great crowd
collected ON Dec. 25, N. s., and find
ing no blossoms. watched the tree until
Jan. 6, the old Christmas day, when it
bloomed as usual. To allay the excite
ment this caused the old day was OBJ
served for awhile in many places. New

Throughout the German fatherland
prevails the belief in the Krist Kind
lein, or Christ child, who rewards with
gifts the faithful children who love
their parents and believe In God. On
Christmas eve each household assemblies
at dinner, and when the candles are lit
the father of the family watches the
shadows on the wall. for II any one
should have his or her shadow obscured
by that of another object that is to be
unlucky. If the children sit down in
odd numbers, that is also unlucky, and
it will not do to fill mp the number with
either strangers or near relatives. Dim
ner being over. the children retire into
o dark room and guess at the presents
they are to receive. Soon the parents
open the door and say, THE Christ
child has visited you. " upon which the
children come forth to gaze upon their
