An objection to this attempt at glad

use of candles-has been the risk of
fire. But these days of electricity or
even OF gas seem to minimize the idea
of danger, and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to do away
with all risk In the carrying out of
the friendly suggestion. 1t is advised
therefore that ''the gladness and
brightness of the home on Christmas
eve be not kept behind closed blinds

Half an hour before midnight on
Christmas eve in Mexico the '.Litany
OF the God Child" is sung. 1t is after
this that the world famous lullaby
song Of all Mexico. the "Roro," is
heard. Every Mexican mother knows
this "Rock-a-bye" song, which is sup
posedly for the soothing of the infant
Jesus. In time and tune 1t is not un-
like the American song, "Old Gray

Many other nations besides the Mex
leans have their Christmas songs, but
not many have distinctive Yuletide lul-

Passing Christmas
EUe Outdoors

WE all slept under the stars, as
w usual, on Christmas eve. To
shut oneself up in a room from
the delicious South African night is
SIMPLY TO miss one of the joys of liv-
Ing. mo one knows the stars who
mas not slept, as the French happily
put, 1t, Ia belle etOile. He may know
all their names and distances and mag
nltudes and yet be ignorant of what
alone concerns mankind-their serene
and gladstone influence on the mind"
stevenson surely would have loved
Rhodesia for it's nights alone.
One great advantage of the long
drought from which we had been suf-
fering-in Rhodesia one must needs be
an optimist or die-is that there were
practically no mosquitoes and very few
flies, so that the STIFFNESS of a mos
quito curtain was unnecessary.
The night was cool and silent, ex-
cept for the distant howl Of a jackal
and the occasional boot Of an owl.
About five o'clock the life Of day began
to stir, and the sun gradually turned
the mOpanf and m1mosa trees to
scent of mimosa blossom, the go away
bird called impertinently from a bush
close by, and two green parrakeets
flew over our heads.
Then one little sleeper after another
rubbed his eyes and crept to the foot
of the Leo to fathom the treasures of
the Christmas stocking. AS the sun
rose higher tongues were lOOsened, and
soon crackers cracked, and trumpets,
six Of them, were heralding the morn,
If not exactly in the manner Of the an
gels.
The noise worried no one. But when
we had had enough we dispersed to
seek baths, and some of us were even
energetic enough to have a round of
golf before breakfast.-"'TheH Heart of
the Weld" by Madeline Aston.

There's a FIRE In the crate and a
light in the hall,
For it's Christmas time again.
And the sleighbells ring and the
children cal,
For it's Christmas time again.
It's time for a Christian land to raise
Her loudest paeans Of love and
praise
For the Holy Babe Of the Bethlehem
days,
For it's Christmas time again.
There's a wreath Of green at the
windowpane,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the church bells echo the glad
refrain,
For it's Christmas time again.
Oh, it's time to turn with the golden
smile
To the friend we doubted and
scorned awhile,
10 rid our hearts Of their greed and
guile!
For it's Christmas time again

for battle, says a Winchester (Va.)
dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
Each of the three men was wading
and struggling to land four and five
pound bass which they had hooked,
and instead of going in the opposite
direction the snake swan right up
to Mr.. Wells, whose companions had
retreated.
Wells kept one eye on the snake
and the other on the line, at which
the fish was Juggling gamely, and
when the RATHER came within strik-
ing distance he dealt it a back-break-
ing blow with small steel rod. A
fish hook caught the snake in the
mouth and Mr.. Wells pulled in fish
and snake at the same time. The
bass weighed a little over five
pounds. The snake was four and one
half feet long, its body was as large
as a mans forearm, and its tail con-
tanned nine rattles and a button.
River men never saw a rattler swim
in the river, they said.

paralysis and even common colds.
'"The day will come" he says,
"when the customary cotton rag is
replaced by the cheap and clean
japanese paper napkin, which is
burned after it has been used. In
fants and children are helpless
against the rubbing of strange hand
kerchiefs over their perspiring and

of the past was innocuous as COM
