WHEN CATTLE KNELT IN ADoRATIoN.

Many an awe-stricken group has waited In the
chill air to see the cattle fall upon their knees IN
alteration at twelve o'clock, the hour when Christ
wrapped in swaddlng clothes. An honest old
Cornwall, England, man, who lived at st. Stephens
Downs near Launceston, said, towards the close OF
the eighteenth century. that he once. with some
others made a trial Of the superstition. Watching
several oxen in their stalls at twelve o'clock at
night on the Gath OF December they observed the
two oldest oxen only to fall down upon their knees
"and make a cruel moan, like Christian creatures.
There is an old print In the British museum in
which the oxen In the stable near the Virgin and
Child are represented upon their knees, as II IN
suppant posture. This graphic representation is.
perhaps, the origin OF the foregoing superstitous
notion.
But more curious than all Is an addition to this
superstition to the effect that the brute creation
unanimously refused to acknowledge the change
OF style, from old to new under the calendar.
though on old Christmas day not only would the
bees sing their welcome song but the oxen and
asses would knee in their stalls in token OF hon.
age. II was also said that to spin on Christmas
day caused cattle to go mad and lame.

CHRISTMAS TREES

From ancient days Christmas trees, lighted with
candles, we're used in the chancels Of English
churches. But It has been put on record that the
introduction OF the modern Christmas trees into
England was due to the late duchess of Kent.

a little girl at Kensington palace.
The Christmas tree by 1S46 was undoubtedly es.
tablished at Windsor; indeed at that period per.

drawing room Of the castle. In the newspapers OF

discoursed such popular airs as Auber's Bronze
Horse" and selections from Norma the queen
and the prince with the royal suite, retired to the
drawing room, where. on tables, were gracefully
displayed Several imitation fir trees upwards OF
six feet in height, from the branches OF which
were suspended variety of French bonbons and
numerous elegant presents for the royal visitors
and suites" The trees, further learn, were
brilliantly Illuminated with tapers judiciousy
placed among the leaves.
It is not certain, however, that the custom had
not been in use for centuries in rural parts OF
Great Britain.

To make shades like that shown in
the picture take lowered ribbon or

the width of the wire frame. Lay it in
plaits little less than a half inch in
depth, or have 1t plated on plating

strip over the top wire of the Frame

Spreading the plaits evenly is neces-
