A custom at one time prevalent in England and still observed in some of the northern districts of the old coun- try is that of placing an immense log of wood. sometimes the root of great tree, ill the wide chimney place. This log is often called the Yule log, and 1t was on Christmas eve that it was put on the wide hearth. Around 1t would gather the entire family, and their en- trance was the occasion of a great deal of ceremony. There was music and re Joicing while the one authorized to light it was obliged to have clean hands. It was always lighted with a brand left over from the log of the pre- vious year, wlfich had been carefully preserved for that purpose. A poet sings of it In this way:
 With the last yeere's brand
 Light the new block, and
 For good success in his spending
 On your psaltries play.
 That sweet luck may
 Come while the log Is attending.
 The Yule log was supposed to be protection against evil spirits, and 1t was considered bad omen if the fire went out before the evening was over. The family and guests used to seat themselves in front of the brightly burning fire, and many a story and merry jest went round the happy group.
