furthermore desirous of giving more religious importance to two important Roman festivals which also fell due in the same period. With the observation of Christmas day the Christkindli, de scribed "as a lovely angel with wings" gradually started to take old Santa's place in many sections of Switzerland. Christkindli, the Christ Child, Is said to come from the far North and always brings wonderful Christmas tree, decorated with all the glittering things associated with fairyland and heavily laden with manifold gifts.
 A pretty legend about the origin of the Christmas tree tells us that In the beginning of the ninth century a cer- tain St. Winfried went to preach Christianity to the people in Scandi- navia and northern Germany. One Christmas eve these people were gath cred round huge oak to offer hu- man sacrifice, according to the Druid priests. but St. Winfried hewed down the great tree, and as 1t fell there ap- peared In its place a tall young fir. When St. Winfried saw 1t he cried to the people that here was come a new tree. unstained by blood. which, in pointing to the sky. showed them what they were to worship.
 Tt is the Christ Child" he said. "Carry 1t to the castle of your chief, and in future. instead of the bloody rites of the Druids. your worship shall be Tn your own homes, with cere- monies that speak the message of will come when there shall not be a house in the North wherein on the birthday of Christ the whole family shall not gather together round the fir tree Tn memory of this day and to the glory of the only God.'
 In many parts of Switzerland the peasants are still fervent believers in mystic powers and supernatural occur renceS which ancient traditions have reported to be prevalent during Christ mastime.
 And when the happy Christmas days are over there comes New Years eve, with its jolly social and family gather ings and its marvelously effective ring Ing-in of the New Year, when all the church bells throughout the land are lifting up their voices for half an hour.
 While Christmas of 1916 will hardly be a general day of rejoicing in many a great. country in Europe. Switzer- land is preparing to celebrate 1t in her usual way. There will be less laugh ter in the valleys and fewer brilliant festivities fin the fashionable winter resorts above the clouds. Brotheriy love and sympathy for her bleeding neighbors could not will It otherwise. but Switzerland is grateful to the fate which has so far, in spite of everything. been kind to her. and with gratitude and love she will think and take care of her soldiers watching at the front. and she will open wide her already generous heart to the many refugees whom she Is sheltering and to the destitute, homeless wanderers passing through the country, to make them feel that Christmas is after all the most wonderful day of the year.

DEVICE MAKES FOR COMFORT . No long Need Lazy Man Roll Out Fryn Warm Bed to Start
 Fire in Furnace.

Nobody need run shivering to the cellar in a house which has been equipped with one of the new furnace starters. The head of the house stays in his warm bed and sets the furnace 10 heating the house by merely press Ing q push button at his side. Or. if if he is given to oversleeping, his alarm clock will perform the same service for him, says an exchange. The ap- paratuS for regulating the furnace con- siSts of weight attached by ropes to the damper and drafts. a light strip of wood to hold the weight. two mag nets, an armature and pulleys to les sen the rope-friction. The strip of wood which holds the weight is wide at one end and pointed at the other. The pointed end rests on a heavy strip of soft iron which moves on two tin rails. When the push button in the bedroom is pressed circuit is closed. and the two magnets draw the piece of iron. or the armature, from under the supporting strip of wood, causing the wei ght to fall down and pull open the drafts. An alarm clock may be used tO take the place of the push-but- ton. The clock can be set to complete a circuit at certain hour and then open the furnace drafts-

 To those who know her, Switzerland In summer represents a master study in artistic color combinations: Switz- erland in winter. however. is a totally different vision, radiant in dazzling, SpOtless white. Jack Frost has :m- printed silencinG kiss upon the bah- bling lips of every tiny brook and mountain stream. and gllStening sheets of the smoothest ice cover also the Hmipid blue eyes of ponds and Alpine lakes. While mother earth is thus wrapped in a wonderful mantle of Ice and snow. the sky above has assumed the matchIeSs hue of q pre- cious sapphire. and the always deli cious mountain aIr seems to have ac- quired some additional qualities which reiuvenate and strengthen the whole human system and which inStill into every being. young or old an inexpli- cable feeling of light.hearted happI- ness. Very shortly. one finds every body interested and engaged in some form of winter sport
 There is skating. of course. but many games compete now with this oldest of sports or the ice, which has, however. been developed into an art which charms the onloOker by the gracefulness of its movements. and again astnnishas by the cool daring cf Its swift rushes.
 As In summer over the lawn. so flies the tennis hall over the ice in the game of hockey. Curriers' are frantical- ly sweeping their "stanes" toward the coveted goal. and the unlimited d. versity of gy1nkhana stunts offers con stant amusement for the players as well as for the onlookers.
 The improved appliances for sport requirements have nearly busted the old-fashiOned herdsmen's sleds which are now only occasionally used by timid beginners. The up-to-date ve- hicie Is the so-called skeleton. a low. yard-long toboggan, on which the rider lies fiat. steering the craft with hands and feet. Like an arrow. 1t darts up the iced walls of the curves. and as the bewildered spectator fear fully anticipates an accident. the to- began shoots down into the furrow and arouUd a heaurifrl1v Sban ourva
 One of the most attractive and cer- tainly a very social sport is bob sieigbing. Long, low, padded tobog- gans seating as many as six persons are used and under this heavy burden the bobsleigh shoots down its course with amazing speed. As the leader sways. almost automatically. the close
