purchased a painting by Everett L.
Warner, shown in the current exhibi-
tion of the Art Institute, for the insti-
tute's permanent collection. It is the
forceful painting of the Brooklyn
bridge which was shown here in the
Corcoran Gallery's cotemporary exhibit
tion. This Is very substantial honor,
but one well deserved.
Ut is generally reported that the pro-
u prietor- of one of the large Chicago
hotels has recently purchased 700 pic
lures from four Chicago artists to
adorn the hotel walls. The sum named
as the purchase price is $50, 900, a very
interesting amount even when divided
by four. This is certainly patronage
of art on pretty big scale. but the
wonder is that four artists could have
SO many pictures unsold-1S5 apiece 1t
seems incredible.
THE Society of Washington Artists
will hold its annual exhibition in
the new gallery at the Corcoran CAL

February to the middle of March. The

Legends and Symbols
of Christmas Season

H1HERE are certain symbols and
customs connected with the OBJ
servance of every holiday, but
there is none that can boast of a richer
heritage in this regard than the festi-
val of Christmas. The mere mention OF
the name Us sufficient to call to mind
Yule logs. mistletoe, Santa Claus, gift
laden trees and the numerous other as
sociations that have come from the
various lands of the earth and for
some particular reason found their way
into the celebrations of this great day.
Ivy, holly, laurel and the other ever
green's used for decoration date back to
the old Roman feast of Saturnalia,
which was also a day held in honor of
the sun god. In these days of Chris
tianity they are supposed to signify
that the deity who was born was God
and man. who should spring up like a
tender plant and should always be
green and flourishing and live for ever
more.
The decoration of Christmas tree is
credited to the ancient Teutons. who
likened the sun rising higher and
higher in the heavens to the blossom
ing and spreading of great tree. They
used fir tree during their lebrations
and decked it with much splendor. On
modern Christmas trees the lights are
supposed to represent flashes of light
ming, the apples, nuts and gflded balls
symbolic the sun, moon and stars and
the little animals hung on the branches
stand for the sacrifices made to the sun
god of long ago.
The Yule log held a prominent place
in the festivals of the Saxons. Much
ceremony attended the bringing In of
this log, which was placed on the open
fireplace and lighted with the embers
of its predecessor to sanctify the roof
nd n~f eoi no q
In many places in England 1t was and
still is customary to bring in boar's
head to inaugurate the Christmas din
ner. This is said to be a reminder of
the Oxford student who, attacked by a
boar on Christmas day, choked him to
death with copy of Aristotle and took
his head back for the holiday meal
The mince pie. long cherished as din
rate in its mixture of oriental ingre-
dents the offerings made by the wise
men of the east
The legend of Santa Claus, who trav-
els over the world with his feet-footed
reindeer and fills the stockings of little
folk with precious remembrances. has
come down from Holland. although
there is hardly land that does not
have a jolly old parsonage under some
title or other to make happy childish
hearts on this great festival.
Besides these customs that are asso-
ciated with Christmas. there are many
superstttions attached to the day. One
is that cattle kneel that night in honor
of the Savior, that the animals con-
verse among one another and that
sheep go in procession to commence
rate the visit of the angel on the first
Christmas. A beautiful reference to
this belief is found in Shakespeare s
Hamlet:
Some say, that ever 'gainst that season comes
Wherein Saviors birth is celebrated
The bird Of dawning singeth all night long,
And then, they say, no spirit can walk abroad;
The nights wholesome; then no planets
strike,
No fairy tales. nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallow'd and 50 gracious is the time.
Every nation has Joined in the oh.

CAMERA FOR THE STOMACH

NW would demonstrate more or less
vociferously If the family physi-
clan mildly suggested the introduce

patient might quite naturally have vi
sions of even the smallest picture

way through the esophagus; but his
imagination would soon fail him.
Supposing, however. that the family
physician was magnetic and powerful
enough to convince his patient of his
seriousness and sanity in the matter.
Perhaps the worthy NJ. D. would get
trivance. In case he did. this is what
An ordinary battery. induction coil, a
long rubber tube. a glass tube attached
to the end of the rubber tube. and at
the extreme end Of all this length of
various kinds of tubing is the camera.
The patient may protest that he is
not so gullible. and cast a suspicious
glance or two at the doctor. because
that thing at the end that he has been
told is the camera does. not look in the
least like one. 1t looks like nothing
that he has ever seen before; the long
rubber tube resembles the rubber tube
on a stomach pump and has q sort Of
telescope attachment at one end and
an electric battery at the other.
Such a camera is a very real camera,
and is sometimes used by stomach spe-
cialists in the diagnosing of bafning
and dificult disorders of the stomach.

THE POETS LINCOLN. Tributes In
Verse to the Martyred President.
Selected by Osborn H. Oldroyd, au-
thor of Words of Lincoln" etc.
Washington: Published by the
editor.
Single-hearted in feeling and untiring
in industry, Mr.. Oldroyd here again adds
to his already well known efforts to COM
memorate the life and death of Abraham
Lincoln. Drawn from every available
source this collection includes about a
hundred poems of good. better, and best
quality. All alike bear witness to the
SURPRISING worth of the great emanci-
pator and martyr, as all alike give evi-
dence of the close bonds of love in which
he is held by his countrymen and the
world. The text is accompanied by
many pictures, either of Lincoln himself
at one or another point in his career. or
of episodes and events in his progress
from obscurity to fame. An interesting
introduction discusses Lincoln as himself
the potential poet. possessing the quality
of feeling. the sense of dramatic fitness
and the cadence of speech that are essen
tial to this form of expression. Poems of
his are submitted in proof of the theory
that had not his lines fallen in other
places he would himself have been an
