BURNING THE YULE LOG.
A Survival From the Alteration Once
Offered to the Sun.

Onercd TO the sun.
In some parts of Germany the Yule
log is placed on the hearth on Christ
mas eve and if possible kept burning
for two or three days. Then piece OF
it is laid aside for the purpose of light
ing the next years log and of guarding
the household from harm. Pieces of
fir wood charred but not quite burned
out in the Christmas fire are also
placed under the family bed in some
German villages to avert the dreaded
lightning stroke, which appears in this
evil aspect, in contradistinction from
the solar orb, the representative of
beneficent light and warmth. The Gus
tom of burning a Yule log for three
days and nights in each homestead is
almost certainly a survival from the
alteration once offered to the sun at
the winter solstice.
Three centuries after the Christian
era sun worship was still maintained
in Brittany, and in Normandy not more
than 100 years ago the household fire
was extinguishcd on Dec. "a and the
Christmas log was ignited by the aid OF
fame procured from the lamp burn
ing in the neighboring church. This
fact affords curious instance of the
probable transference of respect and
reverence from the sacred fire OF q
purely heather creed to the ecclesias
teal lights OF Catholicism. When the
pagan rites for procuring unsullied fire
Were forbidden or fell into desuetude
the Ideas to which they owed Their
origin and Development instead of per-
isbing. continued to exist more or less
perfectly by attaching themselves to
Isages and ceremonies having no di
rect association with them.

He was once the fastest base runner the
National League ever knew. The story
of his conversion, which brings in "Pop"
Anson, Mike Kelly, John Clarkson and
other notabes, is fully told.
The American Magazine sent Lindsay
Denison to Fairfield, Iowa, to collect
pictures and to write the article. Among
other interesting facts Denison discover
ed that Sunday is fully able to handle
his enemies. The editors OF a little pa
tent-inside newspaper at Brighton, a
town near Fairfield, took it on them
selves to speak Of Sunday as "a CRATER"
Sunday held down bis wrath for
days and then prayed about them thus;
"Oh, dear Lord Jesus, save Fairfield!

turned around and in an ordinary con-
yersational tone questioned his secrt-
tary): what was that town we went

the higher pitched tone Of addressing
