Christmas Customs In Early Days q
England.

Christmas Customs In Early Days Of
England.
The more feshly aspect Of Christmas
was brought to it's earliest and perhaps
completest perfection in Anglo-Saxon
England, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
In the speech known as Old English the
name applied to it was Yule. This name
has been crystallized in so many songs
and traditions that doubt if it does not
tons than its more modern analogue.
With it troop into the mind those pictures
of hearty English enjoyment which writ
ers and painters have so plentifully
drawn us-the hospitable board, with it's
steaming boar's head, and it's smoking
plum pudding still blue with the fame Of
English brandy; the holly, the ivy, the
or Yule log, and last and merriest of all
the lord of misrule. For saith the ven
cradle Stow:
AT Christmasse there was in the
Hinges house wheresoever he was lodged,
a lorde Of misrule, or mayster of merle
disports and the like had We in the house
of every nObleman of honour, or goode
RAIL-"
This master of pranks was chosen ON
All-HallOW eve, and his reign extended to
the morning of Candlemas day. He SUI
perintended all sorts of sports and di-
versions, INDUCED in alike by little and
big.
AS matter of fact, these quaint
Christmas observances have not entirely
passed into disuse in modern England.
There is many a country gentleman who
still respects ancestral usages, and brews
his Christmas ale after the old recipe:
Next crowne the bowie full
With gentle lambs wool,
Add sugar, nutmeg, and ginger,
With store of ale too;
And this ye must doe
To make the WaSSaile a swinQer
AS the servant enters with the huge
bowl containing this savory admixture,
he must, according to old custom, cali
"wassair' three times before he ad-
vances beyond the threshold. Whereup-
on the chaplain of the board starts a
song, Of which all may join in the Choir
us. After this the servant proffers the
bowl to the guests in turn, who are I'M
der obligation, lest they offend their host,
of putting it to their lips and quafing
long and deep. As it is passed around
the table the old Yule songs are given
with becoming zest:
The deep came,
The merry deep canne,
As thou dOst freely Quaff
Sling,

Feed the Cows

1t is a common thing to see mich
COWS feeding from the manure pile
around town. II well fed and taken
care of they will not eat such food
The milk produced from feed of this
kind is not only unwhOlesOme, but alb
sOlHtely dangerous to the life and
health of those using it. The process
by which milk is formed is nothing
more than natures dislillery and if the
raw material is composed of refuse
from barns and stables. the distilled
product must pa.take largely of the
former No one would think of taking
this refuse, distilling it by a mechanical
process and drinking the product; yei
many people are doing this very thing
through The COW distihery. There is
not much difference between the two
one is a mechanical process aud the
other is an animal process. Feed and
care for the COWS properly and tines
will not bother the manure piles.

A belief that United States senators
should be elected BY direct vote OF the
people linds expression in numerous
memorials By state legislatures urging
congress TO take action for the requisite
revision OF the constitution. This
popular movement springs from a two
fold conviction. The people believe
senatorial elections rs now held are q
disturbance and source OF corruption Of
the law-making bodies Of the several
states. Thus In Oregon the country
sees \ complete breakdown Of popular
and constitutional government, brought
about by senatorial deadlock. and In
various states legislation has been re,
tarded BY like influence.
Another motive for the demand foI
popular lection Of United States sena.
tors Is found in an awakening conVIc.
ton that the federal government Ia q
long cry from popular and representa-.
tive government or the three co-ordln-
ate branches, not one Is elected entirely
BY popular vote. The president Ia
elected through. the electoral college,
and may be eonstitutionally chosen IN
defiance OF popular majority against
him. In the selection OF the various
executive oflceIs the people have no
voice. They arc appointed by the presi.
dent, and confirmed by the senate.
OF The three departments OF the leg.
ihlative branch Of the government the
house Of representatives,. the senate and
the president-tbe people have the
choosing Of but one, and that has be.
come suboFdinated 10 its speaker and a
few powerful committees.
Tho remaining branch, the judicial,
Is also beyond reach OF the people. The
federal judges are appointed by The
president and hold Office for life.
This Is In distinct contrast to state
government Here the people not only
elect the governor and both houses Of
the legislature by direct vote, bat also
the entire judiciary. the attorney gen
eral ana the various executive officers
the secretary Of state, the treasurer, the
commissioner Of lands and the superin-
tei'dent Of public instruction.
In the state governments we have
complete popular aud representative
government In federal Affairs we
have lis faint scmblance. SO long as
The government OF the United States
continues Ia the control OF patriotic
and honest men. this system win be
be satisfactory. But there win always
exit dangerous opportunities for
dangerous men, and these dangers will
