CHRISTMAS REVELRY

A figure everywhere dominant in the celebra-
tfon of Christmas in the middle ages was that of
the Lord of MsruIe, also called the Master of
Merry Disports. In Scotland this same master
of the revels was known the Abbot of Unrea-
son, while in France his title was very much the
same-"Abbas Stultorum"Aor Abbot of Fools
The king the great lords of his realm and other
important personages must needs appoint such
leader and organizer of their Christmas festivf
ties. In Scotland, previous to the Reformation,
the monasteries used to elect such functionary
but in 1855 a law was passed for the suppression
of the Abbot of Unreason, along with all the
other buresque and fantastic features of the
Christmas celebration.
The barons and knights kept open house at
Christmas time for fortnight. Reyelry reigned
throughout this period, and on Christmas day the
grand feast given by the feudal chieftan to his
friends and retainers, took place with great pomp
and magnifcence. The boars head was first and
foremost on the board, and its entrance to the
banqueting room was heralded by a great blare
of joyful trumpets. Borne on gold or silver
platter by the server at the head of a procession
of nobles knights and ladies, the foremost dish
OF the feast made the round of the hall to merry
mlnstrelsy. When it was finally given its place
rosemary and bay were spread around It, pippin
was placed on its tusk and mammoth pot of
mustard close at hand.
The boar's head put down by act of parlia-
ment in the time of the commonwealth and after
that, although lit officially freed Of the ban it
never quite recovered its former place as part
OF the Christmas feast
The peacock dish was next in Importance n

at the board with all its feathers on and its beak

Doo Knows Bad From Good Coin.

Dog Knows Bad From Good Coin.
San Gregorio, Cal, has dog, says
the San Francisco Chronicle, which,
with the exactness of a banker, can
detect the difference between the ring
of a genuine and counterfeit coin. A
few weeks ago some hunters threw
some coins on the counter of John
Marshall's hotel. Marshall did not
quite like the sound of one of the dol
lars. Calling in his dog, he placed
him on the counter. The dog care
fully picked up with his mouth four
genuine coins and took them to his
master, and left COZ nterfeit dollar
on the counter.
Hearing that his dogs ability was
questioned, Marshall put the animal
to series of difficult tests recently
in the presence of several coastside
citizens. Not in a single instance die
the wonderful dog fail to detect 6
counterfeit coin. The final test was
to nail a genuine and counterfeit dol
lar in separate cigar boxes. Aftel
shaking each box furiously, the dos

A Poisonous Drug Still Freely used

Many people are brought up to be-
iieve that coffee is a necessity of life,
and the strong hold that the drug,
caffeine, in coffee has on the sys-
tenn makes it hard to loosen its grip
even when one realizes its injurious
effects.
A lady writes: II had used coffee
for years: it seemed one of the ne
cessities of life. A few months ago
my health, which had been slowly fail
ing, became more impaired, and
knew that unless relief came from
some source / would soon be physl-
cal wreck.
II was weak and nervous, had sick
headaches, no ambition, and felt tired
of life My husband was also losing
his health. He was troubled so much
with indigestion that at times he could
eat only few mouthfuls.

and bought a package. 1 followed d.
rections for making carefully, and

That's what it Is | replied.

He called in and we had a confer
ence. Surely it wouldn't do to de-
scribe these fine pieces of furniture
as though made out of common wood.
We sent for samples and examined
them in the Office. Then we figured
on various catch phrases of descrip-
tion such as genuine solid mahogany
finish and solid golden oak finish"
which meant that they were grained
and painted to represent the appear
ance of these valuable woods, but
which the reader would to certainty
take to be an honest assertion that
the woods were solid. We created a
lot of trick phrases like this. The
solid mahogany" was really birch and
the ''solid golden oak was basswodd.
And so we prostituted good old-fash
ioned pine and other common woods
into painted courtesans of trade tc
fool the trusting and the innocent pur
chasers. There was much laughter
and fun over these counterfeit phrases
and every one was greeted with shouts
of applause.
We took iron beds, with posts an
inch in diameter and made them ap
pear i'll the illustrations as though the
posts were three-inch ones. Narrow
beds were widened in the pictures to
look like comfortable, roomy beds and
we distorted every illustration in this
