RuRNlNe The YuLE LOG.

The Custom One OF Ancient Origin.
The YnIc Candle.
The custom Of burning a large log
Of wood which is known as the Yule
log is very ancient in its origin. All
through the middle ages every farm
house, cottage and castle in England
burned its Yule log upon the hearth,
the log being dragged in with much
ceremony.
At Yuletlde when the great log famed
In chimneypiece and laugh and Jest
went round.
The word "Yule" itself seems to be
derived from the Anglo-Saxon "Geol." /"
meaning December. Earlier still the
Yule, or midwinter, feast is seen in its
most fourishing state among the Morse
men, who commemorated the fiery sun
wheel with a mighty feast. They be-
lieved that during the twelve nights
from Dec % to jan 6 they could trace
the actual movements of their great
Odin, or Odhinn, the god Of storms,
ard other dcificd beings on the earth.
The Yule log, with its CHEEKY blaze,
comes to Us across the centuries as a
dim memory Of the fires lit to celebrate
the setting out of the sun on his north
ward journey toward the. light ana
warmth of summer.

COINS OF TIE PAST.

Gold Pieces That Were Once COM
mon, but Are Now Rarely seen.
Recent mention Of the disappearance
of the $3.50 gold piece from circulation
ind the premium this coin commands
rs a curio has set many 10 rummaging
IN old pocketbooks and bottoms OF cash
boxes and drawers in search of odd or
out OF date coins. Some have found a
$3.50 piece, but not many. The SO
piece. once quite common, but always a
sort Of curiosity, is oftener found, and
many have specimens Of the little gold
coins representing 25 cents and 80
cents which were not minted by the
government and probably have not so
much gold in them as they represent.
They used TO pass as coin, but We're
never in general circulation, being so
easily lost that they soon became
scarce. One Of the handsomest coin
elics seen is a $40 gold piece bearing
The mint stamp Of 1870. 1t is larger
than the present $40 piece. The owner
has il hung in band and wears it as
a charm on his watch chain. The own
er says he refused. an offer of $3.50 for
this relic. The old octagonal 500 pieces
were quite common In California in
early days, when gold dust was largely
used as a circulating medium. They
were made Of pure gold, and, while
they had not the elegant finish OF the
gold coins minted by the government
in these days. many still remember
them as the handsomest coins they ever
saw. Many people now would consider
them handsome on account Of the $50
