China 700 years b c.
The tirst English child to enjoy a
Christmas tree was Mary. daughter OF
Henry VIII. who was afterward known
as Bloody Mary" When she was four
years old a rosemary bush. hung with
red jewels and silver spangles and
lighted with rushlishts. was set up in
the great hall of the castle for the
amusement of the little princess From
this little rosemary bush the custom
spread until now no English home Ls

idea of the business throughout The
country. A year ago the big city spent
more than $2.000000 for these Christ
mas goods. or course all were not
used In the city. but that was the
amount expended for trees. holly and
other Christmas Green's 1t was also
estimated that between 5000 and 5000
people in the city were vendors of the
Yuletide decorations The same year It
was estimated that ST Louis. now
fourth in population, spent moro than
$4,000 for the same sort OF goods for
the season OF good Will
Besides these decorations there are

In windows during the Christmas sea-
son are made. Prices of wreaths and
bells from immortellcs vary according
to the size desired.
As the Christmas tree first became a
commercial commodity In the cast the
following story as TO how it was in
troduced In New York Is of interest:
a good many years ago the season had
been poor one for the farmer One
up In the Catskills had been hard hit.
Hc cut down some trees that had
grown at his door and shipped them to
New York city. coming along with his
product. He obtained the privilege Of
using Il sidewalk downtown on which
he exhibited his trees. For this priv
ilege he paid the city 81 He was the
pioneer in the Christmas tree business
in the metropolis. The Christmas tree
merchant who gets n corner or any
space I'm the great city now is lucky
and the price paid Is so great that 1t

are enormous.

: n ONG before Christmas gifts are on
the counters and in the shop
windows the preparatory part
- OF the season of tradition and
sentiment Is being worked out In the
forests which furnish the decorations
for homes, churches and public places
. of the land and which give Verdancy to
the crowded streets.
i Fifty years ago any one In a great
city who wanted a Christmas tree
would have walked long distance be-
fore finding the desired article. A year
ago II was roughly estimated that more
than 100000 Christmas trees were
sold in the country, For obvious rea
sons New York receives and sells more
of these trees and of holly and mistle-
toe than any city in the United States.
For several weeks before the merry
season sets in the streets In the lower
end of Manhattan are filled with these
holiday harbingers. They come by
boats. mostly schooners. and by rail.
More than rs per cent of these greens
grow on the cold hillsides of eastern
and northern Maine and on the noun
tains and In the forests OF New Hamp
shire and Vermont The harvesting
and shipping to points along the At
tensive scale The work gives EN-
ployment 10 many young farmers and
tImbermen a u season when money for
tie hhrvcsters Is not any too plentiful.
for these same men who formerly hunt
ed game In winter have been largely
bereft OF tint source OF revenue for
several years I:-l
( TO understand how the business has
grown .une need only remember that
twenty-five years ago. when 1t began in
Maine. no more than four schooners
were employed TO bring down tho cut.
aud their cargoes contained less than
1000 trees Today there are not enough
schooncrs TO supply the demand along !
the coast as Tar as New York city
Scores OF railroad trains also bring in
trees from Pennsylvania, sections OF
the New England states that are not
accessible TO the coast and the interior
OF New York and New Jersey. While
the big cities OF the cast are being sG.'
piled many corgoes are shipped 10 the
middle western states. Holly and mis-
tletoe constitute another branch of the
business. They come from Maryland

the city. Here arc grouped great
stacks of Christmas trees and piles OF
wreaths. This is the wholesale market.
In the center of intersectlng streets
are more Christmas goods of the same
sort. but on less extensive lines. From
these markets tho retail dealer draws
his supply. and from here large con-
signments are shipped to country
towns. 4 year ago 1t was estimated
that more than zoo carloads of trees
and holly and mistlctoe were delivered
to the New York market There are
1000 trees to each carload Make your
own deduction. And don't forget that
these trees came by rail. The cargoes
by boat are to be added.
The best seller In the Christmas tree
line is the balsam fir. because, possibly.
OF its aromatic fragrance Flrs and
spruces for the holiday trade In New
York city and vicinity come from
Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont and
the Adirondacks In order to get them
to market in time the woodcutters start
the work of cutting. punching and
trimming carly In October, In most
cases the cuts nre hauled long dis
tances over country roads before they
arc shipped on trains. These trees
range from six feet to twenty five feet
I'm height. Wholesale prices range from
75 cents a bunch CASUALLY four trees
make a bunch) up to $25 for single
tree that measures twenty-five feet
The wholesale trade of New York city
is handled by only few concerns. One
has been in the business for more than
thirty-hv years. Orders Tor the great
Christmas cut arc often made while
people are just finishing their vaca-
tions
Similar Christmas markets are found
before th- season opens In Chicago.
Philadelphia, Boston and Washington.
Chicago draws on the pineries of Mich

and Virginia. and some come from the
far southwest
Harvesting Christmas trees Is not
conducted in any haphazard sort OF
way. Anything will not do. The
ideal tree must be intensely green.
symmetrical. straigh. and graceful, and
its limbs must be stout so as to hold
up the gifts they are designed to bear
Generally there is large profit In har-
veSting these trees. II there is an aV
erage cut the cost of delivering TO New
York or Boston does not exceed cents
a tree. The price of the smallest tree
In a big city seldom falls below 20
cents. and from that the price goes up
to IS. according to the height and sym
metry of the tree.
Another decoration for tho season Is
the ground plant" 1t grows deep in
the pine woods and among rcsinous
needles and broken limbs 1t is a
creeping. vineIike plant. Children of
tho country gather 1t in the fall. sort
1t. press 1t into boxes or sacks and send
1t to the cities Out of this are made
wreaths. festoons and streamers into
any desired shape. These make up the
decorations seen all over the land.
Tree Farm of tho City.
The stranger IN New York city n few
weeks before Christmas would be war
ranted in the opinion that Christmas
trees. holly and other green growths
constituted the principal traffic of the
metropolis Almost anything-except a
large tree = intended for decoration
during the YuIetlde is OH sale on the
sidewalks. the vendors being men. wo-

Der not concurring would have abso-
Lutte freedom of action. On the ques-
tion of divorce for example. IL twenty
five members OF the house agreed on a
general plan the twenty-fi five governors
thus concurring would suggest to their
respective legislatures in their ensuing
massage the passage of a bill In ac-
cordance with the recommendation.
The legislature, of course. would have
absolute freedom to pass 1t or not as
they deemed best. but the recommenda-
ton would have q greater dynamic cf-
feet and a stronger moral influence

ty or more other legislatures were con-
siderinG the same proposed law II
eighteen states out of twenty five
passed the bill, sufficient public inter-
est would be awakened in the others
to make tho matter an issue in the
next campaign in the states that did
not pass the bill.
In fine, Mr.. Jordan suggests that the
house of governors discuss vital ques-
tions concerning the welfare OF the
states that would require uniform ac-
tlon. but upon which congress could
not act because the constitution affords
il no power TO do so. The trouble has
been. according to Mr.. Jordan. that,
while the states have had the power.
no way has been provided for them to
get together as states to execute the
will of the people
