Manila at midnight on Christmas

turn out CD Christmas eve also to see

! THE CHRISTMAS WAITS.
Observation-Disclosures

In England the Christmas waits, or
bands Of singers. who may be heard
everywhere on Christmas eve are
the survival of very ancient custom.
In their origin, which dates back to
the fourteenth or fifteenth century, the
waits were probably musical watch
men who were required to give practi-
cal EVIDENCE of their vigilance by play
Ing on the hautboy or the f1ageolet at
stated intervals during the night
In modern times the Christmas waits
are unorganized bands of men and
boys who on Christmas eve parade the
streets of towns and villages in Eng
land, singing carols and accompanying
themselves on simple wind instruments
for a gratuity from the houses In front
of which they stop.

The Lord of MisruIe.

The Lord of Misrule." who some
times rejoiced in the whimsical title
of the abbot of Unreason." was a
very important functionary of the
Christmas ceremonies in the olden
time His Office was that of master of
the revels, and in castle and hall, from
Christmas eve down to Twelfth day,
he was absolute master Of all. On TAX
ing up the duties Of his Office he gen.
orally made some quaint speech, ex-
planning to the company that he alb
solved them of all their reason and
that they were to be just wise enough
to make fools Of themselves. Under
his rule all were to be, equal. No one
was to sit apart in pride Of self suffi-
cheney to laugh at others. Moreover.
being possessed of the magic power to
turn his auditory into children. it was
his intention while his sovereignty
lasted that they should conduct them
selves as such.

THE LEGEND OF THE MIS-
TLETOE.

Why 10 mistletoe always sus-
pended in our honest The rea-
son is traced back to an old
myth Of tho Norsemen. The
mother Of Baldur, the god Of all
good things, exacted a promise
from the vegetable, animal and
mineral Kingdoms to preserve
his life from harm. From some
cause, however, she did not
make an appeal to the mistIetoe.
Tho god Of mischief and potion
tate of the earth, Loki, became
jealous of Baldur's great popu-
Iarity and, fashioning an arrow
from strong branch Of mistIe-
toe, gave il to old blind Hodur,
showed him how to aim il, and
in this way ealdur met death.
However, he was restored to
life, but the mistletoe, placed
under the care Of Friga, was
never again to be an instrument
of evil till il touched tho 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.

The Taffy Pull

The best pulled taffy is made
Il 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
find that tafy 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
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 few
days and Is then very delicious
if rolled in unsweetened choco-
late.

MIR. B. Kennedy, who claims more
years of service than any other men,
bers q the T.-R. mechanical force,
spent yesterday at Macon, chaperoning
party of young people at the state
fair, and recalling memories of per-

lating stories of wonderful circus tri-
umphs of the long ago.
