This consists of the levying of a

the country, the revenue from which is

In the case Of Ceylon the article

In Honolulu the money derived from
the sugar levy is appropriated to the
work OF the Promotion Committee,
which keeps strict accounting of every
cent disbursed, thus giving the mer-
chants full opportunity to see that their
contributions are put to proper use.
Here in the Philippines il would seem
advisable to adopt some such method
in advertising these islands. Our hemp
export naturally suggests itself as our
revenue substitute for Ceylon tea and
Honolulu sugar.

CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS
Antiquity Of the Christmas Tree Origin
Of Santa Claus.

Perhaps the Oldest sacred idea in
existence is a world tree, a tree
of life, whose roots reached into
Immortality. In the far north the
ash was typical; in Germany and
Central Europe the pine was held
sacred. Their branches played
prominent part in the reioicings at
tendant on the holy season, which
was known as Yule, Guile, Iul, and
number of similar names. These
people brought the Yule tree into
their Christianity, the missionaries
little protesting. as rule. In Eng
land the skin-cIad Anglo-Saxons
were made to hew their Yule trees
to pieces as idolatrous symbols, and
and every good Catholic was bid
den to burn the loge in token that
the Holy Child had destroyed heath
enism.
The converts asked nothing bet
ter. At that time of year Yule
log was twice as comfortable as a
yule branch, ana much more con-
ducive to good cheer. 1t has blazed
on thu Christmas hearth for more
than thousand LyuIetides since,
and went out only when the hearth
itself gave way to less poetic but
more effective methods of heating.
Many of the superstitions and trad
itious of the pagan yule tree were
continued as long as the Christm. i.
log was alight. In some parts o.
England the log was represented by
a bundle of ash fagots bound to
gether. In all cases brand wa.
kept every year to light the mex
years log with. The careful pre-
servation of the brand was a Ger
tain preventive Of the destruction
Of the house by fire.
The most beautiful tradition at
tached to the burning OF the yul'
log was that old wrongs anG heart
burning ptrished therein. an a
long as the fame was bright on the
walls enemies were at peace viii
one another. This truce was no
always rigidly kept. il is true

Editor Floral Department.:
The spring was cold and wet till
the fifteenth of April, when the rains
stopped and we had no more except
one rain early in May with cold wind
for several days, that dried the moist
ure out of everything. Then no more
rain till the eighth of July, it is now
the twentythird, and from the day it
began raining till yesterday, it has
rained nearly all the time, and how

There are several kinds of pitcher

their physical needs a greater amount
of nitrogen than they ordinarily draw
from their root sources Such plants
are always found in peat bogs,
swamps, bitches or other places where
water is about their roots. Because of
of the water, such plants are poorly
supplied with nitrogen. The only way
to make up the deficiency is by cap
