Too Exalted Tastes.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
A well known family in Catholic cir
clcs. living in Spring Garden street
and blessed with three very small
daughters, spent last winter in Rome.
where the small daughters were sent
to school,. The family, being quite
Hospitality inclined, entertained quite
lavishly some of the dignitaries of the
Vatican.
Returning TO Philadelphia, they re-
ceived q hearty welcome, n among
others some of their priest friends call
ed TO bid them welcome home. The
mother. always proud of her three
small daughters, sent for them TO be
brought downstairs TO see the fether.
After awhile they came, the three lit
tic goldenhaired girls; but they only
stood in the doorway of tho spacious
room and refused to come any further.
The mother, very mortified ut such
behavior, said 10 he eldest: Come
here, GEAR; don't you remember good
Father ---, who used to come
and see us from the cathedral"
There they stood, the three little
blond tots, and looking most disap-
provingly at good Father --. the
oldest spoke: we like cardinals" is
what she sold.

Concerning Christmas.

The best thing to put In a warm Christ
stocking Is a poor child's foot.
Jews in most countries keep ChIstmas
as a season OF f~easting and mlrth and Of
gift giving.
Coptic Christians believe that savage
beasts and venomous serpents are harm
Tess on Christmas day and will neither bite
nor sting.
The Yule log In England is a relic NJ
Druidism and has no religious significance
left. 1t survives merely as an ancient and
time honored custom.
Christmas Is respected by the followers
OF Mohammed, but not observed. With an
their hatred of Christians they regard

THE YULE LOG.
II Has It's Origin in Scandinavian
MYTHOLOGY.

Boston Herald: In the Scandinavian
feast of JUL. when they burned bonfires
In honor of Thor, We discover the origin
of the Yule log. The descendants of the
old Norsemen, who no doubt are respon-
sible for the custom in England, carefully
preserved half Of the log with which 10
be burned at next Yuletide, and so we
have the old English proverb, but in poet
ical form. by Herrick:
Part must be kept wherewith to tend
The Christmas log next year,
And where It's safely kept the fend
Can do no mischief here.
The Druidical contribution to the mod
ern Christmas celebration originated in
the annual feast given In honor OF the
Druid god Tutanus, who corresponds to
the Phoenician sun god Baal. His ia
vorite among all trees and plants of the
forest was supposed to be the mistletoe.
The number three was held in reverence
by these ancient people. and, because the
leaves and berries OF this parasite grew
In clusters OF three. this, In addition to
the glory Of being Tutanus' fayorite,
made the plant sacred, n annually
there was a great festival given I'm its
honor.
In the choice and selection Of the Yule
log the ash tree plays q very important
part. In Scandinavian mythology II Is
Odin's tree and was most noble. for Its
wood made the spear and the ~javelin. the
oar and the mast. In their language ash
means man. and the legend runs that
when the sons of Dor. who were sons Of
Odin, formed the first man and woman
they were made out Of a piece of ash.
This mas was named Aska. And at the
present day In Devonshire, as a relic Of
this pagan reverence for this tree, we
find the Christmas fagot made Of ash
sticks. bound tightly together by green
withes or bands Of pollard oak. AS each
withe bursts a quart of cider is passed
around, and healths are drunk, amid
great glee and rejoicing. The gypsies.
too. and the wild hill people OF Bavaria
and Bohemia reverence the ash, although
their legends attached to 1t are Christian
IN their origin.

the Eternal City.
London Mail: Although the picturesque
scenes and grand functions which for
merly attracted visitors TO Rome at this
time of the year are in a great measure
things of the past, perhaps in few other
cities of the world is II possible TO pass a
more delightful Christmas tina In Rome.
for here, In the venerable Caput Mundl'
all the cosmopolitan usages and customs
which follow I'm the motley train of old
Father Christmas seem TO concur In rem
dering it a season of Joy and merrymak-
ing, while the peculiar fascination OF the
Eternal city sheds a Kind of glamor over
the most varied celebrations, and the
beautiful religious ceremonies are UNI
equal for solemnity and impressive
grandeur.
OF all seasons this is in Rome the gay
est within the circle OF domestic life, but
the vigil. instead of the day itself, may
be said to be the great occasion for fam
lily reunions. Here, as everywhere else,
the most important part of the ~profane
program is of u purely astronomical ma
ture, and the cenone-. e., ''bi-supper"-
takes the place of the Christmas dinner
or the following day, as held In England.
The appearance of the shops Is brilliant
and striking N the extreme at this time

 First, I wish to state my condition when l came to the Vita Nuevo Min cral Springs & Bi-Lo-Zone Medical Co. months ago My weight was 12O lbs; my skin was ycllowish green and my eyes blOodshot, yellow and weak. I was suffering with arthritis deformas; my right arm was partially useless and had shrunken away al- hands was dry and scaly and had to be wheeled about in an invalid chair. If wanted to get out of my chair, my people had to lift me to a standing position and adjust my crutches. could walk only few steps even with crutches. had given up hope of re- covery and tried this Bi-Lo-Zone treat ment as a last resort without any faith it it. For the first week I was or seemed to be worse and the second week no change, only the pains were more severe and seemed to scatter over my body more; but on the third week l gained 1-2 lbs. and looked better I continued to gain in weight and strength. Now I weigh 135 lbs, can walk 12 blocks without crutches and feel like a new man. My skin is as clear as it ever was and my eyes have returned to their old luster. While I am not fully recovered I am sufficiently forced to believe by my condition that 1 will be in a few months.

Eczema and Blood Disorders, no matter from what cause, these cases to be passed upon and accepted by me as curable. also said patients examined by a committee of physicians, one to be appointed by the president of the Maricopa Medical Society and one by myself and these two to select the third. This com mittee to examine fully the condition of the patients and to place their re- port. together with mine in the hands of committee of the press; said patients must make affidavit to obey all directions, and take no other med icine other than is ordered by me.

To rcfute the statements that have been set afloat by persons who wish to iniure our business and to put in disrepute Vita Nuevo Mineral Springs Crystals, and by saying they were a manufactured article and full of dope, I hereby swear to their truthfulness. The Vita Nuevo Mineral Springs, are we have called them. formerly known as the Yosemite Mineral Springs, are situated about 50 miles back of the Yosemite National Park, California. There are several springs boiling up out Of the ground forming one large pool. That thcerystals that we sell to our patients are the results of evapo- ration of the waters at these springs
 That there is nothing added to them

or taken away from them, that they are just as nature made them, and that stood at the springs one year ago and evaporated these waters and brought the crystals produced from my labor to civilization. That l know of my own knowledge of their genu- inencss.
 And further, that eleven years ago was restored to health after every medical aid had failed. by these wa ters. My case was pronounced an in curaD1e case of alteration of the stom- ach and bowels from typhoid fever and, further. in eleven years I have seen many hopeless cases restored to permanent and sound health.
