There is a class OF men in the world
who are on the constant lookout for

There is no doubt about the need OF
prudence al ways in the affairs Of men

its feet, to wonder if the building-up is
not getting on trifle too fast and
whether setback Is not imminent.
Getting well is all right, but relapses
are all wrong and that Is what the bus

against. 1t Is O. cheering note TO read

SPECIAL SESSION CALLED.

Legislature Called Upon by GOV. Pingree
to Meet at the Capitol Next Monday.
Gov. Pingree has called special
session OF the legislature, to convene
at noon next Monday.
The legislature will be asked TO pro-
vide for an amendment TO the consti-
tuition, To be voted upon by the people
next fall, doing away with specific tax
alton OF railroad, telegraph, telephone,
and plank road company propertles,and
provide for their taxation at actual as
sessed cash value, as other property Is
taxed.
In special message the governor
will be likely TO ask for constitutions
al amendment, enabling municipal
ownership OF street railways. A con-
stitutional amendment for an interme-
date court may be placed before the
people again. Other important legis-
lation OF a local nature may be asked
for.
If successful in the special session
and il the taxation amendment is rati-
fed at the polls next fall, Gov. Pingree
will call special session OF the legisla-
ture in November or December, 1900,
for the enactment OF laws to do away
with specific taxation of railroads and
other corporations and to provide for
municipal ownership OF Detroit street
railways. This he can do, as his term
OF Office does not expire until January
!, 1901
A legislator states that the governor
has the motive Of keeping his person
al ~ and issues before the people in an
effort To secure third term.
Representative anti-Pingree men in
the ,icinity of Detroit do not think
that any such "extraordinary" occa-
sion ~ is contemplated by the consti-
tuition exists to justify the calling OF
the special session. The action in con-
vening the Legislature they character
lie a. simply political maneuver, the
expense of which is likely to be resent
ed by the prop!".

TIE YULe LOG.
IL Has Its origin In Scandinavia
Mythology.

In the Scandinavian feast OF JUL.
When they burned huge bonfires in honor
OF Thor. we discover the origin OF the
Yule log. The descendants OF the old
Norsemen, who no doubt are responsible
for the custom in England, carefully
preserved half OF the log with which TO
be burned AT next Yuletide. and so we
have the old English proverb. but In
poetical form, by Herrick:
Part must be kept wherewith to tend
The Christmas log next year.
And where it's safely kept the hend
Can do no mischief here.
The Druidical contribution to the mod.
ern Christmas celebration originated in
the annual feast given in honor Of the
Druid god Tutanus, who corresponds to
the Phoenician sun god Baal. His IA
vorite among all trees and plants OF the
forest was supposed To be the mistletoe.
The number three was held in reyer-
ence by these ancient people, and. be-
cause the leaves and berries Of this par
asite grew in clusters OF three. this, in
addition to the glory OF being Tutanus'
fayorite, made the plant sacred. and an
nually there was a great festival given
In its honor.
In the choice and selection OF the Yule
log the ash tree plays a very important
part. In Scandinavian mythology it is
Odin's tree and was most noble. for its
wood made the spear and the javelin,
the oar and the mast. In their Ian
guage ash means man, and the legend
runs that when the sons OF Bor, who
were sons OF Odin. formed the first man
and woman they were made out of a
piece of ash. This man was named
Aska And at the present day in Devon
shire, as a relic of this pagan reverence
for this tree, we find the Christmas fagot
made of ash sticks, bound tightly to-
gether by green withes or bands of pol
lard oak. AS each withe bursts a quart
Of cider is passed around. and healths
are drunk. amid great glee and rejoicing.
The gypsies too, and the wild hill peo-
pie OF Bavaria and Bohemia reverence
the ash. although their legends attached
