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 a log of
wood upon the fire, called 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
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 Its celebration in honor
OF Christ, the Light Of all Lights.

Washington, Dec 20. - The senate
had busy day and there were several
important speeches. Mr.. Plat Of
Connecticut spoke against the Vest
resolution which declares that the
United States has no power to acquire
territory. He said that the power Of a
nation to acquire territory was as in
herent as its sovereignty. The United
States had the right to govern them in
the best possible manner until the peo-
pie Of the acquired lands were capable
Of government. Mr.. Proctor Of
Vermont and Mr.. Hale of Maine ex-
changed divergent views upon COM
mission Of senators to visit Cuba. Mr..
PrOctOr thought such commission
was necessary, while Mr.. Hale thought
1t would be in extremely bad taste and
useless. The Nicaragua canal bill was
up during the last part of the day and
Senators Berry, Allen, Hoar, Caffery
and Morgan discussed the measure.
In the House. ..
It was suspension day in the house
and several bills were passed, the
most important Of which was the bill
appropriating $35O,OOO for the Phila-
delphia exposition Of 1899. The vote
was exceedingly close. It had but two
votes more than the necessary two
thirds. Bills were passed under the
suspension of the rules to authorize the
distribution Of the assets Of the Freed
mans bank; to enlarge the scope Of
the fish commission to include birds;
for the relief Of the Fourth mounted
Arkansas infantry, and for the relief
Of John w. Lewis of Oregon. Mr..
Bailey of Texas introduced resolu-
ton in open house directing the ju-
dietary committee to investigate and
report on the question whether mem
bers Of the house who accepted COM
missions in the army had forfeited
their seats in the house. He made the
resolution the text for some remarks,
in the course Of which he took &C.
casion to bitterly denounce a news
paper statement to the effect that in
his attitude on this question he had
been made a catspaw Of by certain Re-
publican members He denounced the
Republican who had instituted the
statement as an Infamous Liar and
challenged him to father it. There was
no reply to Mr.. Bailey's statement and
the resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on rules.

Pictures and other votive objects

Summing up all the evidence, it GER
talnly 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"
f. The holly, or holy tree, is called
Christ's thorn in Germany and Scan
dinavia, from its use in church decora-
lions and its putting forth it's berries
at Christmas time.
