Chrissmas Legend.

There is a legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple, i'm
medlately the leaves Of the tree snriv-
eied into needle points and its bright
green turned dark. 1t changed it,
nature. and became the evergreen, In
all seasons preaching the story of
mans fall. Only on Christmas does il
bloom brightly with lights and become
beautiful with loye-gifts-the curse il
turned into a blessing 1t the coming
Of the Christ Child, and we have our
Christmas tree.

ID ACK to the old farm home rush
I'D children and grandchildren for
the Christmas time. Truly it is
the merriest season of all the year,
when brothers and sisters and cousins
gather at grandma's for the holidays.
They come from city and village and
country, and grandfather meets the
trains and takes each party as it ar
rives out to the farm in the great bob
sled, behind his best team, and that is
the first pleasure of the Christmas
outing, or, rather, the second, as the
anticipation has been the first.
The cousins, many of them, are
strangers, or practically so, to each
other, and to make the family party a
success they must be entertained in a
way that will get them thoroughly ac-
quainted, and grandmother and grand
father. as hostess and host, must pro-
vide entertainment of a sort that will
accomplish this. At the same time the
entertainment must recall the old
home days to the elcers, so what is
more appropriate than the old farm
games that are ever rev. There must
be something for every minute of the
waking hours to prevent the forma-
tlon of cliques that would breed antag-
onisms among the various sets of cou-
sins, and there must be enough Of
variety to keep all interested.
Grandfather takes hold of the ar
engagements for the outdoor games.
Above all things. there must be a
hitching party, for the children from
the city know o N of its pleasures
Again the big bob-sled comes into
play, and into it's commodious box are
tucked all the wee mites of the party,
with an abundance of hay and warm
comforters. Behind the big sled are
hitched several small hand sleds, the
smallest n Of all being at the ex-
IRENE end of the line, and onto these
crowd the boys and girls, and often
times some of their parents, who have
not forgotten the joys of such a frolic.
Then away they go, up hill and down,
over all sorts of roads and around
sharp corners And at the sharp cor
ners is where the greatest fun comes

Origin OF the Christmas Tree.

The Christmas tree is supposed TO
have originated in Germany, but such
IL not the case. In reality the Christ
mas tree is from Egypt, and dates
from q period long anteeedent to the
Christian era. The palm tree is
known to put forth a shoot every
month, and II spray OF this tree with
l3 shoots on 1t was used in Egypt at
the time of the winter soistice as a
Aymbol that .he ear was complete.
Egyptian affections of an early date
still linger With the Christmas tree.
The first Christmas tree was intro
duced into England. and thence into
America by some German merchants
who lived in Manchester.

A Costly Experiment.

Crawford-Instead Of buying you a
Christmas present, why don't you have
your wife make you something with
her own hands?
Crabshaw-Can't afford 1t. She once
made me a MISUNDERSTANDING
smoking jacket. and the materials she
bought cost me the least part Of a ten

Then out spoke jan, a forward lad,
Wrapped In his mufler's scarlet plaid;
A perfect lesson, too, he had,
Correct from A to lizard;
How many snowballs to q pound?
Where best and longest slides are found?
How skating may be easiest learned?
And when a new leaf should be turned:
And how to make a blizzard?

Ere she had done, with flashing eye
And martial air, but stepped July,
And pompousIy began to try
To say the Declaration"
Before the opening words were out
He stopped and gave a sudden shout,
Flung up his cap into the air,
And yelled till twas enough to scare
Old Time himself; and from her chair
The teacher sprang with startled stare
And frown Of CONSERVATION.
The little Months, delighted, ciapped;
The Year for order sternly raped,
And when the room was still once more,
Called out the children as before.
Alas, their wits were scattered!
They quite forgot they were at school;
They could not say q single rule,
Nor seemed, to think it mattered.

And such a pretty dress on!
She, blushing, tried to tell how high
The mountains are that touch the sky:
How wide the fields. how deep the sea,
The lineage Of every bumblebee:
Where four-leaved clovers-deary me!
She yawned until she could not see;

How could she say her lesson?
Back, modelling to her seat she crept,
And dropped her curly head and slept.
Then, with a little bashful pause.
Sweet April came, and cried because
She couldn't quite remember
How many days to her belong,
Or where the blueblrd learned his song!
December prompted, which was wrong;
But he was grieved. the gentle lad,
To see his little playmate sad;
And in her place, quite trim and neat,
With braided hair and slippered feet,
Came studious young September.
She knew her lesson like a book,
And said 1t on with serious look.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
For New York Central & Hudson Rive,
Railroad Company.

The most powerful electric locomotive
In the world has Just been completed for
the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad in the shops Of the General Flee.
trIC Company and the American Locomo.
tive Works at Schenectady, n. J.
This locomotive Is one OF between thirty
and fifty which will be used by the Rail-
road Company for hauling the through
passenger trains within its Electrical Zone
from Grand Central Station through the
Park Avenue tunnel to Croton on ths
Main Line, a distance of 81 miles, and Ia
White Plains on the Harlem division. a
distance Of "a miles.
This will be the heaviest steam railway
passenger service which has ever been
handled by electric locomotives. With
one Of these locomotives trains Of ten or
more cars viii be hauled at express speed
of 60 to 70 miles per hour, and the de.
sign and method Of control are such that
two or more locomotives can be coupled
together and operated by a single en-.
gineer from the leading cab, so that the
size Of the train that may be under the
control OF one engineer is practically IN.
limited SO far as the question OF motive
power.
IN general design the locomotive is dou.
bic ended and symmetrical in construc.
ton, so that it can be run in either direc.
ton with equal facility.
Mounted on the main frame Of the 10.
connective is the steel cab in three divisions,
in which are located the various devices
for operating the locomotive. The loco.
motive is equipped for both straight and
automatic air braking, signaling devices,
beIl, whistle, headlights, a~r.sending de,
vice, electric air compressor, etc. being as
complete in every way with respect to Cd.
devices as a steam locomotive.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because They Are
Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agr47e with
children or adults. The same thing Is
true Of other articles of food. what
agrees with sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that itN
Will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an Observation-Disclosures, no matter
now weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest a nice hot cup of Postum COT
lee with a spoonful or two Of Grape
Nuts poured in, and such a combination
contains nOurishment to carry one a
number Of hours, for almost every
particle of it will be digested and taken
up by the system and be made use of.
A lady writes from the land Of the
Magnolia and the hooking bird way
down in Alabama and says: 81 was led
to drink Postum because coffee gave me
sour stomach and made me nervous.
Again Postum was recommended by
TWO WeIl-known physicians for my chill
dren, and feel especially grateful for
the benefit derived.

child, so to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years, l gave Postum with
plenty Of sweet cream. 1t agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly although she is of a consti-
pated habit.
For the youngest, aged two and one
half years, | use one-half Postum and
one-half skinned milk. | have not
given any medicine since the children
began using Postum, and they enjoy
every drop of it.
"A neighbor Of mine is giving Postum

ing famously." Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum agrees perfectly with children
and supplies adults with the hot, in
