THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE.
Custom Originates With Mortimer.
Hanging the Stockings.

Custom Originated With Northmen.
Hanging the Stockings.
Across the English channel, where
the Gauls and the Franks and the
northmen observed the stern rites Of
the severe religion of strong hearted
race, trees formed an important part in
the festal observances of the feast
days. The pine tree-ever in all ages
an object of. deserved acknowledgements
greatly revered by the northern folk.
At the time of the midwinter celebra-
ton the mortimer hung gifts upon the
tree for their gods. AS is readily seen,
when the early fathers Of the church
came to this fierce people with their
message of peace II. was easy to change
the idea of gifts proffered to heather
deities into custom where offerings
were made to the Christian God.
Thus from such humble beginnings
began the cherished customs which are
our heritage of today. Gift giving on
the birthday Of Christ may be logically
traced to that observance prevalent in
the middle ages OF having Christmas
boxes wherein offerings were placed
for the priests. Christmas boxes grad.
ually became an institution in Chris.
tian families as well.
Hanging up the stockings on Christ.
mas eve. as the institution Of good
st. Nicholas. old Santa Claus. is Of
purely Christian origin and started in
Germany many hundred years ago II
has become one Of the most cherished
OF the Christmas customs Of the civi
lized world. -National Monthly.

ORIGIN 81 the Periwie.

The periwig. which played 50 irpof
tant a part in the toilet Of man Of
fashion during part Of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. owed its oris
gin to Louis XIV. OF France. When d
little boy the succeeded to the throne
at FIVE years OF agel he possessed a pro
fusion OF remarkably beautiful waving
hair which fell IN clustering curls over
his, shoulders. The courtiers initiated
the boy king BY having heads Of false
hair to initiate his natural locks Fnd
when Louis grew up he Adopted the
periwig himself.
During the reign Of William and
Mary periwigs we're worn in sexagger-
ated dimensions, and the beaux used
to comb their wigs In public with spe
ciaI combs Of ivory and tortoise shell
which became at last quite indispen
sable to these fine gentlemen.

FUN IN FUTURES.
s:.-tuns Telling For the Christmas
Party.

9.-tuno Telling For the Christmas
Party.
Anything in the nature of fortune
telling is always popular. and, not
withstanding denlals. there is a vein
of superstition III every ones charac-
ter. No game is more heartily enter
ed into than one dealing ostensibly
with fate or the future. Be 1t intri-
cate or simple, it is fully enjoyed.
In the game of futures great fun is
sure to ensue, because the futures can
be previously arranged to suit the con-
ditions Of certain people. although gen
orally the one In charge of the web OF
fate knows as little Of what will be
revealed as the individual himself.
From given center cords Of all colors
and conditions, no two alike. extend in
every direction upstairs, downstairs
and almost in my lady's chamber,
across each other here and there, often
being knotted together at these points
of intersection Each searcher winds
up his cord as he proceeds. and many
difficulties ip the way of knots to be
united and round and round windings
to be unwound he encounters. When
he finally reaches his future 1t usually
proves to be coin. toy, book Of
nursery tales or some article of abso-
lutte absurdity. This he takes back to
the individual who started him in pur-
suit Of his fate. who must be clever
enough to give him quite little in
formation as to what will or will not
happen. basing her remarks on the
future" he found at the end of the
cord. Each future thus found is to
be considered significant Of other
things.
