YULETIDE IN SHETLAND.

Curious Customs I'm the Island Where
the Ponies Come From.
The festival of Yule, as Ia well
known, dates back to. prehistoric
times, when men worshiped nature
rather than natures God.
The Inhabitants Of the Shetland
isles r descended from Norsemen,
who were zealots In religious belief.
and "Yule" to them meant a season OF
great Importance. The "Gammel Norsk
Hull" signifies, literally, wheel" and
the festival SO called was held I'm honor
OF the sun at the winter solstice wheel
ing round toward the equator. The re-
turn <of the sun formed an important
period Of the year as being the begin
ming Of renewed life in nature, which
only could be revived by the light and
warmth of the ascending orb.
The course of the sun was observed
In all things as far as possible. Every
thing vas turned from left to right
the boat was SO turned on the water,
the corn stacks so built In courses, the
mill SO turned in grinding and the
wheel In spinning-tn fact everything
went with the sum-, ven the round OF
the drinking horn.
Many superstitions included In ma
ture worship had full scope at the
"HJuT" time-or more modern "Yule"
when a vast multitude of ''trows,"
or fairy folk, who at that season were
not only active, but maliciously dis
posed, had to be propitiated.
To give the fairy folk no opportunity
Of playing tricks, the fishing creel and
lines were removed from the wall, the
spinning wheel taken out Of gear and
It's integral parts laid aside, and every
thing suspended from ceiling or walls
lifted down, as If left In their usual
places the ubiquitous elves were sup
posed to set all going against the SUMS
motion, which of course would mean
serious trouble. The time Of Yule was,
and still is, rigidly observed as "heily'
lie, a time of rest from all manner
OF labor-Madame.

CHRISTMAS EVE IN PARIS.
Pieturesque scenes at the Madeleine
Historic French Church.

PicturesQue Scenes at thG Madeleine
Historic French Church.
They drove to the Madeleine through
streets already full Of life and move
ment Of hurrying crowds, darting dg-
ures now plunged in the black shad-
ows and now slipping out into the run
glare Of the clustered lights. The big
perspective of the Place de la Con-
corde, thickly sown with lamps, was
shot through with glistening reflections
from the tops Of carriages, the arcade
of the Rue de Rivoli was brilliant as
q stage setting, the hotels In the broad
Rue Royale were ablaze with light, and
far at the end of the street, where the
lofty portico Of the Madeleine showed
clear against the starry sky, a hundred
sparks twinkled from the cabs fitting
along the boulevard. $
The steady roll Of wheels merged
with the varying notes OF horns In
motors and the sound Of talk and
laughter from the sidewalks, and all
blended in a great humming symphony.
struck through with the rafting. syn
copated clack-clack Of hoofs upon the
asphalt, like the staccad Of sharp
drums.
The crowd at the Madeleine was al
most impossible, but somehow they
gained the steps, the vestibule. and
were swept in the solid pack OF men
and women through the door at he
right. The great floor was filed with
a throng as varied as Paris itself.
Piety and the idlest curiosity, youth
and age, came together. AS the pro-
cession came in sight Its song was
Joined by the organ>in the sanctuary.
and the music rose louder and fuller
In a single godlike voice ranging down
from the dazzling altar.
Suddenly, like artillery. the great or
gan overhead crashed out In a volume
OF sound that flooded the whole vast
interior like a wave sweeping Owe
the heads of the kneeling crowd and
mounting to the shadowy arches Of
the roof. The very conclusion took
the listeners breath away, and In the
recoil men and women burst into
tears, and pillows Of emotional excite
ment rolled back and forth through the
church. Winfield Scott Moody I'm

Ghrfntmna In Guam.

Christmas was celebrated In Guam
last year in as true American style as
the possibilities of the situation would
permit. Great interest was taken by
the Americans In celebrations for the
native children. A number OF enter

was a floating Christmas tree, mag
~nlficently decorated, which was parad-

by six plumed mules with costumed
outrfders and preceded by a native
