In the Black mountains at the pres

the Yule log is still carefully observed

utters a prayer and carefully lifts up
his log and bears it home on his Shout

each bearing Il log for himself. The ia

house, being very careful that the

A belgium Christmas Legend.

The children of Belgium have a
charming Christmas legend about San
ia Claus pony. They always place
their wOolen sabots on the window
ledge, stuffed full of oats, hay and
fodder for the dear Christmas pony"
In the early morning they run on tip
toe to look, and, behold, the hay is all
gone, and the shoes are brimming over
with toys and sweatmeats! Then the
children clap their hands with glee
and wish they could only have walked
in time to see the pony munching his
oats. That would have been such fun!

YULETIDE GAMES.
snnpdrngon a Diversion Popular In
England.

Little known in this country, snap
dragon is a diversion in which in Eng
land young and old participate through
out the Christmas season. Apparently
it is dangerous pastime. Really it is
harmless, and no one ever suffers an
accident through playing it. Babies of
3 or years engage in it with great
glee, in which there is an admiXturc of
fear, but nerve generally conquers,
and once in the game they cannot be
kept out of it.
The requisites of snapdragon are one
or two large platters such as roasts are
served on, some large, fat raisins,
little brandy or gin, a match and q
darkened room. The platters are ar
ranged thus: If there is but one and
the party is of moderate number, it is
laid in the center of dining table. If
the number of participants is large,
then two platters are laid, one at each
end of the table, or there may be two
small tables, with a platter on each.
Next the raisinS are laid over each
platter, singly and at short distances
apart. a small quantity of brandy or
gin is then poured over each platter
and ignited. Put out all the lights in
the room, leaving none but that from
the dancing blue flames in the platters.
Everybody looks weird and feels I'M
canny, and the fun begins. Each par
ticipant Snaps" at Il raiSin on the dish.
and, hit or miss, the blue flame clings
to the fingers in writhing, forked
tongues, thus providing the dragon"
The raisins are all finally secured, the
flames die out, the lights are turned on,
and the company is reG 'y for another
diversion, unless, as is ten the case,
there is call for n repetition of the
fun just ended.-San Francisco Post
Magazine.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.
Decoration OF Evergreens and Flow.
ers In of Pagan Origin.


ers liz of Pagan Origin.
The Christmas decorations may have
originated in the saturnalia or in the
old Teutohic practice of hanging the
interior of dwellings with evergreen
as a refuge for sylvan spirits from the
inclemency of the winter, but the
Christmas tree is of German origin.
1t is their chief ornament and symbol.
1t is not used for the hanging of gifts,
but it is used entirely as bright orna-
ment, being made to glisten with
lights and tinsel.
1t is kept throughout the II days of
Christmas and at intervals is lighted
and on New Years eve is lighted for
all night.
The custom of decorating dwellings
and churches with evergreen was
known by the Christians to be a rem
nanJ of paganism and was forbidden
by the council, but it had too strong n
hold to be given up.
Even in Boston Justice Samuel Sew
all cried out against it, but 1t crept to
its place by degrees. Holly and ivy
were favorites in Great Britain, being
regarded as sacred emblems of the
season.
Holly used in churches was kept by
families TO insure lucky year.
The mistletoe was held in so much
vcrcration by the pagans that it was
cut with n golden sickle by the prince
of the Druids, with whom it first ap-
pears.
The introduction of flowers to the
tokens of festivity seems to have eX-
listed universally and at all times of
history. 1t was pagan manifesto
ton of rejoicing, and, although forbid
den by the early church and de-
nouDced by the Puritans of New Eng
land, it became general custom.
While obliged to give credit to early
and heather notions for much of the
Christmas which we so fondly cherish,
We can but remember our own Ben
jamin Franklin for the one motto as
being American, "a good conscience
is a continual Christmas" s."-Boston
Globe.
