Salutes and Corsets.

Among the odd official decisions
published in Berlin is that of the
Prussian railway administration on a
point of etiquette advanced by q sta
ton master on the lower Rhine, who
asked for ruling as to whether the
young women subordinates IN his Of
flee should not recognize him first on
the street, instead of waiting to be
saluted, according to the prevailine
custom. The government directed
the station master to salute first.
The principal of the gir.s' high
school at Searbruck inquired of the
provincial government if she was au-
thorized to forbid young women to
wear corsets during gymnastic exer-
cises. The government authorized
their rigid prohibition.-New York

Most OF Us know that the Christmas
tree comes to us direct from Germany.
And we know of the tree worship Of
the Druids which obtained in England
some influence on the later use of the
tree in the Christian festival But we
do not all know that a similar festi.
val with the tree as a crowning feature
Is observed among many heather ma.
tions, and that it comes from sun wer.
ship, which is older than history. The
revival Of the sun after the winter
solstice has ever been the subject of
rejoicing and of celebration by cere.
monies which represent the new light
brought back to the world. Our tree.
with its small candles. it's gilded knick.
knacks and toys for the children, is a
direct descendant Of this old festival
in honor of the sun.
Traces of it exist in Iceland. where
the service tree" is found adorned
with burning lights during Christmas
night. The English yule-log is a faint
survival of this festival But It is
beyond these that l wish to draw your
attention, back further even than the
| Druid mysteries of the Gallo forests.
