CHRISTMAS AND PLAGIARISM.

Many Customs and EmbIems Of Yule-
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 We're 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"
This was for the feast Of tabernacles.
So we see that the custom was early
practiced by the Jews.
Holly Ia 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 its
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 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 it's romance.
The Druids held a solemn procession
each year on the sixth day of the
moon nearest the new year. going
forth with q golden sickle to cut the
mistletoe from the sacred oak. The
strength. 1t 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 in white
linen cloth.
From time immemOriaI the mistle
toe has been considered an omen OF
good, and it was said that fairies took
refuge In its 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
enchantment, we beguile sweet human
fairies under its white berries. and al
who are kissed may be sure that the
hidden elves will sanction and not con
denim the practice. In Sweden amulets
| were made Of mfstletoe, and in Wales
| q necklace made from the waxen Der
| RES was supposed to protect from
snake bites.
Sir Walter Scott wrote this beautiful
poem describing the social element in
the Christmas celebration Of medieval
times:
And we'll our Christian sires of old
Loved when the year its course had rolled
And brought blithe Christmas back again
With all his hospitable train.
Domestic and religious rite
| Gave honor to the holy night
On Christmas eve the bells were rung:
On Christmas eve the mass was sung.
That only night in all the year
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear
| The damsel donned her kertle sheen
| The hall was dressed with holly green
Forth to the wood did merry men so
| To gather in the uistletoe.

An Ancient Chrisvmas Game.

The knight Of the whistle Is an an
cient Christmas game which modern
young folks ought not to be allowed
to overlook. 1t Is a version Of blind
mans bun and therefore particularly
adapted to the season of romps and
runabout games. To play it some
one Of the party is blindfolded and
has 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.
