THE YULE LOG.

Christmas day in the primitive
church was always observed as the
Sabbath day, and, like that preceded
by an Eve, or Vigil. Hence our pres
ent Christmas Eve. On the night Of
this Eve, people were wont to light
up candles of an uncommon size, call
ed Christmas candles, and lay log Of
wood upon the fire, called a Yule log
or Christmas block, to illuminate the
house, and, as it were, to turn night
into day. This custom is still kept up
in the north of England. The size of
these logs of wood, which were in
fact great trees, may be imagined from
the fact that in the time of the civil
wars Of the last century, Capt. Hosier
burnt the house of Mr.. Barker of
Haghmond Abbey, near Shrewsbury,
by setting fire to the Yule log. At
the bringing in Of the Yule log at
Christmas Eve in the ancient castle Of
England, the great hall of the castle
was profusely decorated with ivy and
holly berries. AS soon as the log was
lighted the Christmas festivities be-
gan. The servants were then given a
general holiday and did not go to bed
at all, but rambled about until the
church bells called them to prayer at
IL o'clock. The word Yule signifies
Christmas, which was called in the
Latin or Western church the Feast Of
Lights, because they used many lights
or candles at it's celebration in honor
of Christ, the Light of all Lights.

Santiago, Cuba, Dec. 20.-While the
United States cruiser Cincinnati was
leaving port about sunset yesterday
she ran full-speed upon a rock, clear
" defined in the charts but not buoyed.
Last September Gen. Wood, seeing
that the absence of buoy there might
lead to some accident, anchored q
small one, the first one ever placed
there, but the Bessie, on entering the
barbOr one night carried it away, and
since then there has been no buoy to
mark the place. The Cincinnati was
apparently not seriously damaged, for
she is not making water. For the past
twenty-fOur hours the collier South
cry and the MayfOwer have been en-
gagged in an effort to pull her off, Thus
far they have been unsuccessful, but
it is hoped they will have better luck
at high-tide. The principal risk now
is of tearing a hole in the cruisers bot
tom While pulling her off. Capt Ches-
ter, the cruisers commander, insists
that the land marks are in the wrong
place and have not been altered in
any way since the American OccuDa-
ton. Pilots are not compulsory on
entrance of Warships, but the Santiago
harbOr is difficult and the warships
should take one.

Pictures and other votive objects
We're attached to the laurel Of Apollo.
Summing up all the evidence, it GER
tainly seems that the Christmas tree
hung with gifts has descended to us
from the times when decorated trees
laden with offerings were worshiped
as representatives Of the abstract
Universe tree" whose trunk was the
cosmic axis, whose roots were in the
underworld, and whose branches, lift
ed aloft into the skies, bore up the
heavenly hosts.
The custom of decorating the church
es with greenery at Christmas had it's
origin in a pagan ceremony. The
great feast of Saturn was held in De-
cember, when the worshipers hung the
temple with such green things as they
could find; and the Christians adopted
the same method to celebrate the birth
of the Savior, giving it an emblematic
turn by referring to the righteous
branch" and justifying it from Isaiah
SIS: 13-"The glory of Lebanon shall
come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine
tree and the box together to beautify
the place of my sanctuary"
The holly, or holy tree, is called
Christ's thorn in Germany and Scan
dinavia, from its use in church decora-
tions and it's putting forth it's berries
at Christmas time.

after the rites these 'tfruits," which
are called 'karaphruk, are scrambled
for by the crowd.
In Upper India the scavenger caste
carry in professions, in honor of their
god Zahir, a bamboo framework deck
ed with bright colored cloths and pea
cock feathers, and hung with fans and
punches of cocoa nuts.
Lucian described trees covered with
ornaments and sacred attributes which
were brought each year to be burnt
offerings to the goddess Atergatis at
Hierapolis of Syria; and he told also
of great trees, loaded with goats, sheep,
garments and gold and silver objects
which were burned before the Syro-
Phoenician gods.
Conventional, or 'tmade-up' trees
are pictured on Babylonian cylinders,
and one of the bilingual hymns trans
lated by Prof. Sayce describes how the
place Of the Tree" (of which these
pictured trees were undoubtedly sym
bols) is the central spot of the earth,
while it's fruits-obvious1y the stars
are of brilliant crystal and reach into
the liquid vast"
The pine of Cybele and Attis is still
to be seen on the ancient bas reliefs,
hung with bells, reed flute, a wheel
and other objects, and there are sacred
birds among the branches and ram
and bull standing beneath, ready for
sacrifice.

the custom of setting up tree hung
with gifts at Yule-tide was by no means
universal in Britain until after the
marriage of Queen Victoria to Ger
man prince.
But prior to this there was sort OF
Christmas tree in England. The
"Wassail bob," a bunch Of holly or
other evergreens on pole, decked with
ribbons and hung with oranges and
apples, and sometimes bearing pair
of dolls, was carried about in York
shire at Christmas nearly a century
ago. And until 1880 the "besant" was
escorted by procession with music at
Shaftesbury--it being a tree-shaped
framework covered with ribbons, flow
ers and peacock feathers, on which
were hung jewels, coins and other ar
ticles of value, loaned by the local gen
try. Hutchins' history of Dorset states
in 1903 that the decorations Of this

One Man Is Killed and Several
Wounded.
Havana, Dec. 90 = A riot occurred
at CerrO, a suburb of Havana. A
number of shots were fired. One man
is reported to have been killed and
five wounded. The residents of Cerro,
Supposing that the Spaniards had of
icially vacated the suburbs, raised
Cuban and American flags over a
number of buildings. Crackers were
fired and speeches made on the street
corners, and these rejoicings on the
part of the Cubans led to the riot
Capt. Gen. Castellanos has issued or
derS for the seizure of printing outfits
and the editions of certain clandestine
Cuban publications which circulate in
the city, and which tend to provoke
trouble and cause disorders.
