Ma4+an and EoHea-

There is n such thing as a loss of matter or force The so called "con- servation" of matter and its forces was demonstrated years ago by JOule and other scentists. When, for in- stance, thing burns up,'' as we say, the substances that give out the light and heat are changed, not destroyed. The wood or whatever the substance happens to be becomes ashes and gas, and if we could gather up all the prod. ucts of the burning we should find that they had not lost particle of their weight and that the form of them only was changed. The eternity of matter was teaching of the old Greek philosophers or of some of them at least, and the modern teaching of the conservation or indestructibility of the stuff of the universe would seem ) corroborate the ancient idea.-New York American.

An Ancient Christmas Game.

The knight of the whistle is an an- cient Christmas game which modern young folks ought not to be allowed to overlook It is a version of blind mans buff and therefore particularly adapted to the season of romps and runabout games. To play it some one of the party is blindfolded and has a whistle hung on cord put round his neck. The whistle should rest on the back of the blind man. The fun consists in seeing who can blow the blind mans whistle without being caught for his daring and compelled to assume the role of blind man. There is no time limit. The fun can continue until every one is too much out of breath to go on with it or until each player has been made blind man.

CHRISTMAS AND PAGANIsM.
Many Customs and EmbIems of Tule'
 tide An+eda+a Christ

Many Customs and EmbIems of YuIs-
 tide Antedate Christ.
 Most of our festival days are of pa- gan origin, and so it is with our Christ mas holly and mistletoe. But shall we think any the less of them because in ancient days they were associated with the Roman saturnalia and with the Druid ceremonies at which some times human beings were sacrificed? How many remember that the custom of decorating homes with evergreens Is mentioned in the Bible, where Nehe- miah wrote:
 And they found written in the law. Go forth into the mount and fetch olive branches and pine branches and myrtle branches and palm branch es and branches of thick trees to make booths"
 ThirtYas for the feast of tabernacles So we see that the custom was early praetieed by the Jews.
 Holly is the emblem of peace and good will, and the ancient poets tell US that it was also significant of the resurrection. How fitting its use to- day and how interesting to know it's history! Who knows but that the Romans may have derived their idea from the Persians, who have a saying to the effect that the sun never shad- Ows the holly tree and who used to make a connection from the bark which they threw in the face of new born child as an omen of good luck?
 Closely associated with the holly is the pearly mistletoe with its romance. The Druids held a solemn procession each year on the sixth day of the moon nearest the new year, going forth with a golden sickle to cut the mistletoe from the sacred oak. The oak to the Druids was a symbol of strength. It was also the tree sacred to Jupiter, and only the mistletoe that grew on an oak had holy virtue. Each year when the voice of the cuckoo was heard in the land the priests sent en- vOys to spy out the finest mistletoe growing on an oak, and when taken from the trees it was placed fin white linen cloth.
 From time immemoriaT the thistle toe has been considered an omen of good, and it was said that fairies took refuge in it's thick foliage, so any one who hung a spray in the home would have the protection and gratitude of the good fairy folk. Today, with its entertainment. we beguile sweet human fairies under it's white berries, and all who are kissed may be sure that the hidden elves will sanction and not con- demn the practice. In Sweden amulets were made of mistletoe; and in Wales " ~""klace made from the waxen her. ries was supposed to protect from snake bites.
 Sir Walter Scott wrote this beautiful poecl describing the social element in the Christmas celebration of medieval times:
 Ind we'll our Christian sires of old Loved when the year it's course had rolled Ard brought blitke Christmas back again With all his hospitable train.

An Elastic Appetite.

The American black bear has an ap- petite that may be appropriately term ed elastic. He will kill a thousand pound steer and capture the tiny field mouse for a meal with equal indiffer- ence. If pig or sheep is not handy to his reach he will dine on colony of ants or a nest of wood grubs. He will feast on dainty birds eggs or sweet stores of wild honey and on the fOulest carrion with like gustO. He will fish for the savory trout. but at the same time snap any warty toad or slimy lizard that may happen along that way. He will seek the luscious wild plum when 1t has ripened or the wild grape among the branches where the vine chambers and bears it's fruit, but will not miss the oportunity to make food of any snake that may lie in ambush there for birds that come to peck at the plums or grapes. The bear has comprehensive palate. There is scarcely thing in the animal or vege- table kingdom that will not tickle it.

 The game was delayed a half hour by the difficulty in finding an umpire. Then the report goes on to state:
 "The game opened loosely upon both sides. and at the end of the first in nings the score stood Athletics 5, Gen. tral City 4. each side making its tallies promptly from the loose playing of the out club. After the first inning the Athletics played more carefully. while the Central Citys grew more careless until the fifth inning, when they be- came more demorahzed than was the Union army at the battle of Bull Run.
 Considerable dissatisfaction was manifested and expressed. and in two innings rightfully so. at the evident one sided decisions of the umpire.

Why Rubber Tires Grow Hot.

When an automobile is running at high speed the rubber tires are rapidly warmed, and the heat sometimes be- comes very great, with resultant in jury to the rubber. The cause of this accumulation of heat in the tire is ascribed to the kneading of the rubber which generates heat faster than it can be radiated away. For this reason manufacturers have found 1t to be an advantage to have metal parts in the tread, such as the ends of rivets, in contact with the tire. because the metal being a good radiator, helps to carry off the heat of the outer air.
