SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
 CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

By every American soldier and sailor Christmas day is celebrated with feast ing and sports. though the men may be thousands and thousands of miles away from home Dinner. consisting of turkey, mince pie and all other deli cacies. is served. There is also gen. erous supply of soft drinks. Intoxi- cants are never permitted In army and navy circles.
 Those who wish to attend church in the morning are permitted to do so, although this Is not compulsory. as in the British army. It Is not always possible for sailors to go to the church around the, corner. but religious exer- cises are conducted by the vessels chaplain. The afternoon Is usually devoted to athletic sports.
 It may be that a concert of amateur theatricals will enliven the evening or that the men will receive permission to give a dance. Those who wear Un- cle Sam's uniform do not lose their taste for social pleasures and as a rule are capable entertainers.
 Even the men of an outpost, en- camped far in the interior of some Philippine province, attempt to invest the day with as much of the Christ mas spirit as possible unless the coun- try is in an unsettled state and par tial war conditions prevail.
 The British soldier makes the cele- bration of Christmas the chief event of the year, and his only regret Is that the day does not extend over an entire week

The Taffy Pull

.HE best pulled taffy is made with granulated sugar and should be cooked in small
 patches. To two pounds of
 sugar allow just enough water
 to dissolve the sugar. One will 5 find that taffy is better if made
 in an old fashioned iron or steel
 skillet than in porcelain, as there
 is less danger of scorching. Taf. fy should boil rapidly. In test.
 ing use very cold water, dip a teaspoonful from the center, but do not stir the boiling taffy or it will turn to sugar. Have butter.
 ed plates to pour the taffy into
 and grease the hands with but. ter to handle it. The best pulled , taffy turns chalky if kept a few { days and is then very delicious { if rolled in unsweetened choco- { late.

LEGENDS OF CHRISTMAS.

German Folklore Connects Evergreen
 and Garden of Eden.
 Tn Germany there is legend that when Eve plucked the fatal apple the leaves shriveled, the tree changed its nature and became evergreen, bearing witness in all seasons to the fall of man. Only once year, on the birth day of the Redeemer, it blooms with lights and is laden with gifts of love, and so we have the Christmas tree.
 In the Black forest regions in Ger many there is tradition that on each Christmas eve the Saviour comes to earth in the guise of a poor boy and asks aims at the house doors. On that day no beggar is refused food and shel- ter. .e.... ..
 It is said that the popular tradition of the entrance of Santa Claus by means of the chimney arose from the story of Hertha, goddess of the Morse mythology. When the festival in her honor was celebrated an altar of stones was erected in the house, and fir branches were piled upon it and set on fire. Through the dense smoke made by the green wood the goddess was supposed to descend and extend her in- iuence according to the petitions of the worshipers.
 Some of the Christmas hymns md carols are very ancient and have been in many cases transmitted orally through many generations. In Eng land it is still the custom for men and boys, called the Christmas waits" to go around on Christmas eve and sing carols.

THE LEGEND OF THE MIS-
 TLETOE.

Why is nnistletoe always aus pended in our homes7 The req son is traced back to an old myth of the Norsemen. The mother of Baldur, the god of all good things, exacted a promise from the vegetable, animal and mineral kingdoms 10 preserve his life from harm. From some cause, however, she did not make an appeal to the nistIetoe. The god of mischief and poten- tate of the earth, Loki, became jealous of Baldur's great popu- larity and, fashioning an arrow from strong branch of mistle- toe, gave it to old blind Hodur, showed him how to aim 1t, and in this way Baldur met death.
 However, he was restored to life, but the mistIetoe, placed under the care of Frisa, was never again to be an instrument of evil till it touched the earth, the empire of Loki. This is why the parasite is, in our homes and churches, always suspended from ceiling and chandelier or in windows. When persons of opposite sexes pass under it they give each other the kiss of peace and love in the full assurance that the epiphyte is no longer an instrument of mischief.
