TheV are Marietta Facts.

A wholesome suspicion is one of onr
characteristics as u nation. In matters
worthy of Investigation we want real,
tangible facts regarding it, The word
of those We know; the nearby evidence
obtainable, are generally what we
most desire. When we call on neigh
Dor, a man of business at that, and say:
You have had some experience with
o-and-so; what do you think of it?"
and he answers: Just the thing; /
know because have tried it,. 1t goes
long way in helping our decision.
This is always the case with Doan's

Remember the Orphans.

We should not wait for Christmas
or any special occasion to remember
those objects of charity about us. But
this is most appropriate time to con-
tribute to the needs, the comfort, the
happiness of the little orphans. The
following which shows something of
the work and the wants of the Oxford
Orphange, is taken from the orphans
Friend and we commend it to the con-
sideration of persons who wish to do
really good deed in contributing
thereto:
We have over two hundred orphan
boys and girls to care for in the Ok
ford Orphan Asylum. Our effort is
to feed and clothe these destitute
children. to give them an English ed
ucation, to train as many of them as
possible in some useful trade or voca-
ton and to give them the best moral
training and throw around them the
best religious influences possible. If
our readers could in measure, re-
alize what it means for the influence
of lives to be taken away from the
side of evil and to be placed upon the
side of purity and righteousness, they
could form some conception of the
Importance and magnitude Of the
work being wrought in our orphans
homes. God is using such institutions
as powerful instruments in the resc ne
of lives and the salvation of immortal
souls.
We must now begin to plan Tor the
winter months, the most expensive Of
the whole year. We need hosiery.
hats, caps, undervests, bed clothing,
and goods for winter underwear.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.
Decoration of EverEreens and Flow.
ers Is of Pagan Origin.

ers Is of Pagan Origin.
The Christmas decorations may have
originated in the saturnala or in the
old Teutonic practice of hanging the
interior of dwellings with evergreen
as q 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 a bright Orna-
ment being made to glisten with
lights and tinsel
1t is kept throughout the 10 days Of
and Oh 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
nant of paganism and was forbidden
by the council. but it had too strong a
hold to be given up.
Even in Boston Justice Samuel Sew
all cried out against it. but it crcpt to
its place by degrees. Holly and ivy
were favorites in Great Britain, being
Regarded as sacred en- DleinS or the
season.
Holly used in churches was kept by
families to insure q lucky year.
The mistlctoe was held in so much
vcEcration by the paganS that it was
cut with Il 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 a pagan manfesta-
ton Of rejoicing, and although forbid
den by the early church and de-
nouDc9d 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 50 fondly cherish.

YULETIDE GAMES,
SnapdraEon a Diversion Popular In
England.

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
or 4 years engage in it with great
glee, in which there is an admixture 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, q
little brandy or gin, match and a
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. sudu quantity or 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
tlcipant snaps at raisin on the dish,
and, hit or miss, the blue flame clings
to the fingers In writing, 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 ready for another
diversion. unless. as is often the case,
there is a call for Il repetition of the
fun just ended.-San Francisco Post
Magazine.
