MIRACLE OF THE THORN STAFF
Pretty Legend OF Ancient Britain
That 10 Often Repeated In Eng
land at Christmas Time.

It liz one Of the prettiest legends OF
ancient Britain-the old Christmas
story Of the thorn Of Glastonbury.
William of Malmesbury, the chronicler.
told 1t hundreds Of years ago In his
Antiques Of Glastonbury" 1t Is re-
peated often at Christmas time In
England.
The legend tells how Joseph Of Ari-
mathea, was so prosecuted by Pontius
PLATE, because he had laid away the
body of Christ in his seDulcher, that
he fed to Gaul. carrying with him UNI
der q cloth Of mystical white samite,
the Holy Grail. In Gaul he found the
Apostle Philip, preaching to the heath
en-. and he rested with him few days.
One night a radiant light awakened
him, and an angel babe him go to
Britain and preach the glad tidings to
King Arvigatrus; and. where Christ
mas miracle should come to pass,
there to build a church.
He and q band Of followers fol-
lowed the Instructions Of the angel,
and Arvigatrus gave them the Isle OF
Avalon. and babe them erect an altar
there to the new God. It was beau
tiful gift. The tiny Isle lay warm In
a verdant valley. Sparkling waves
softly Tapped its shore. Soft breezes
played In its trees, and nowhere was
the sky 80 blue as over Avalon.
When they reached the top OF the
hill called Weary All, Joseph planted
his thorn staff he had carried with
him on his long journeys over land
and sea, deep into the ground. and 10
IL took root, and Immediately there
blossomed q bush Of beautiful white
flowers.
'This is where we will build our
church." the good man said, and so,
at Glastonbury Abbey-for 30 Avalon
10 known today-the thorn bushes
bloom white at each Christmas time,
lend their fragrance to the frosty air,
and remind all who see them Of the
Christmas miracle. :,

THE CHRIST CHILD

Across the snow the home lights glow
From the myriad hearts alight.
And through the street. with noiseiess
feet
The Christ-child walks tonight.
At silent gates, outside He waits.
To find a fitting spot
Be thine the shame, IL through my
blame
The Christ-child enters not.
Where Joyous notes from chiidren'e
threats
The old glad song begin,
Where love inpels and kindness dweilss
The Christ-child enters in.
Where hate has room, pride sits In
gloom,
And wrong invokes unrest,
Though green the walls and bright the
halls,
He cannot be a guest.
But where the thought that angels
brought
To earth's enraptured ears
Good will to men and peace. again
The Christ child, listening. hears.
He turns His feet with welcome sweet
Enters and there abides.
Angels know best how such are bless
Through all the Christmastfdes.

gives some idea Of its insignifcance.
In the Anglo Saxon language mist"
means gloom, and it comes In mid-win-
ter, the gloomiest time Of the year.
The gathering OF mistletoe was
very important ceremony among the
ancient Druids. About five days after
the new moon they marched in state
" procession to the forest and raised
an altar Of straw beneath the finest
misunderstanding oak they could find.
The arch Druid would ascend the oak.
and, with jeweled knife, remove the
sacred mistletoe. The others stood be-
meath the tree and caught the plant
upon a white cloth, for, II a portion
Of 1t touched the earth, 1t was an omen
Of misfortune to the land.
And this is doubtless the reason why
1t is still the custom to hang 1t from
the ceiling and why 1t Is supposed to
lose Its charm IL 1t touches the floor.

CHRISTMAS

Sparkling snow on the ground
an invigorating tang to the
air-the mouth-wate ring smell
of cooking from the co3ily-warm
kitchen-our boy safely home
from overseas with brave stories
to tell and all the manhood crys-
tallized In him-relatives and
old friends gathering at the fes-
tive table-holly wreaths at the
windows and a cracking fire In
the open hearth-the hilarious
laughter Of Riddles as the new
toys make them bubble over
mistletoe nailed mischievoEsly
above the door for the kiss you
mean to give bustling, unsus-
picious mother-the silvery,
tranquil peal Of church bells
across the soft-snowed open
places-an amazing forgetful-
ness of the dour anticipations
and business worries Of only
yesterday-a sudden re-belief
that love Is life
That liz Christmas

ming with this old. Old Journey the
spirit Of giving crept into the worlds
heart. AS the magi came bearing
gifts, so do we also: gifts that re-
l!eve want, gifts that are sweet and
fragrant with friendship, gifts that
breathe love, gifts that mean service,
gifts inspired still by the star that
ghone over the City Of David 1900
years ago.
Then hang the green coronet OF the
Christmas tree with glittering baubles
and jewels Of flames; heap offerings
on its emerald branches; bring Yule
logs to the firing: deck the house With
holly and mistlet0e.

TO TRIM A CHRISTMAS TREE
Pretty Trimmings and Decorations
Can Be Made In Almost Any Home
at Slight Expense.

AS to trimming the Christmas tree.
1rst Of all, don't trim your tree with
cotton batting and lighted candles, 40
there is always danger In this combi-
nation, and safety first" should be the
slogan In all Christmas festivities.
You can purchase q whole lot Of
pretty decorations for your tree at the
shops, and these come very cheaply.
too. But almost any home can furnish
the decorations for O really lovely tree
without very much expense, and there
liz no reason why every family where
there are children should not have
their Christmas tree.
Strings Of popcorn and red cram
berries looped from the branches
make an effective decoration. And
strings of yellow field corn CLEAN beau
tifully In the Christmas light. Cres-
cents, stars and hearts cut from heavy
cardboard and covered with silver and
gilt, or even colored paper, and cornu-
copias Of bright colors filled with
candy and popcorn are very pretty.
Form cotton batting into balls the size
Of an orange and cover with orange
colored crepe paper, twist tightly and
tie to the tree with bit Of narrow rib
bon. These are pretty ON the tree and
look like oranges.
It is best to place all the larger
packages under the tree, tying only
the smaller gifts which are tied up In
bright-colored paper to the branches.
In this way the tree will not look
3rayed and denuded when the gifts are
distributed, and 1t may be kept O long
time for the children to enjoy.

THE CURIOUS MIsTLEToE
Something Like 500 Varieties In the
Werld-Pink Berries Found Only
on Cedar Trees.

There are about 800 kinds Of mistle-
toe In the world. and each variety
grows on the branches Of trees and
has little white or pink berries, says
sc. Nicholas. But the pink berries
are found on only the cedar trees. The
mistletoe, unlike other plants, gets no
food directly from the ground. In
stead, it gets Its nourishment from the
trees on which 1t grows.
Another curious thing about the mis-
tletoe 10 that though 1t blossoms earl
Ter I'm the year than the tree on which
It grows, yet the little berries do not
rtpen before December. Maybe that
10 because 1t has to steal Its food from
the trees, and therefore cannot ripen
