Some Legends
of Christmas
Celebrations

"SHE original ''halcyon days"
were at Christmas, and were
so-called because the halcyon,
an ancient name for the king
fisher, WAS said to build its nest upon
the waters at this time of year. 1t was
generally supposed that this bird.
through the influence of the holy sea-
son, had the power to still the waves
and winds, so that the weather was
peaceful and calm, and enabled the
halcyon to lay her eggs In her floating
nest and brood upon them with perfect
safety.
In olden times it was believed that
all nature testified in various ways to
a recognition of the great event COM
memorated in the celebration of Christ
mas, The winds and seas, as well as
the animals and plants and all other
living things, gave evidence of knowl-
edge of the approaching glorious ami
versary and became imbued with the
prevalent spirit of alteration, Joy and
peace.
Tradition tells US that at the mo-
ment of the Savior's birth a universal
peace reigned throughout the earth,
that a deep silence rested upon the
world, the birds stopped in their fight,
the cattle ceased to feed, men became
motionless with sudden awe in the
midst of their labors, and the stars
glittered with added luster. From this
tradition came the superstitions of the
middle ages relating to the miraculous
phenomena supposed to occur annu-
ally at Christmas, many of which still
survive.
Bells, too, have their legends. In a
village near Raleigh in Nottingham
shire. England, there is now valley
where once there was a picturesque
and prosperous village, but an earth
quake swallowed it up; yet every
Christmas since, the bells of the bur-
led church are heard Ginning.
Similar tales are told of Preston, in
Lancashire, and Been, in the Neither
lands This latter city was famed for
its beauty and magniticence, and also
for the sins and avarice of its inhabi-
tants. On the anniversary of his birth,
the Saviour came as beggar and went
from door to door; but, although
Christmas festivities were being kept
up, nobody would give him aims. Sin
was abundant on all sides, but there
were no Christmas goodwill and char
ity, and he called to the sea and it
came and completely covered the I'M
holy city of Been. But at Christmas
time even now comes the joyous peal
ing of bells from under the water.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1919-12-19

to curl the lip of scorn at sight of
the rosy festivities about US, would
be an objectionable crime, the very
abyss of the mean and contemplate.
1t is part of the unwritten law of
every healthful heart that when
Christmas comes we are to put our
best foot forward" cast all care to
the winds and be as full of gladness
and good will as an egg is of meat.
And right here in this unconquer-
able optimism we find the only true
and genuine Christianity. The one
whose birth the Christmas signalizes
came to replace tears by smiles, sor-
row by happiness, worry by conf
dence and despair by the hope that
maketh not ashamed" and in his
name wish you all Merry Christ
mas mot merely an abundance of
turkey and plum pudding, but an ex-
ira abundance of good will to men,"
with no lack of the disposition and
resolve to make everything else as
happy as yourselves.

SIMPLE WANTS
NssssE S

MY wants are few and simple.
I'm not a grasping man;
l ask of Santa kindly
To do just what he can.
In prompting gifts for Christmas
NV wishes are but few;
In fact my thoughts are modest,
My needs are very few.
My friends, 1 would not tax them
But 'twould not be a jar
If they'd decide to give me
brand new motor car.
And as a change most pleasant
When packed snow fills the way.
I'd not think of refusing
A new and natty sleigh.
A fur-lined coat, I'd take It
Without a fuss or stir,
And of cigars some boxes
AT fifty or so per.
A few more such like presents
I'd take without ado,
For, as / just have mentioned,
MY wants are plain and few.

Agricultural Policy.

"An intelligent agricultural policy is
the basis of great industrial policy,
and a systematic effort must be made
to bring the people back to the land.
A great agricultural policy relieves the
labor market, and when there are peri
DDS of depression there is always the
land. There is not the same competi-
ton which throws men out of employ
ment On the other hand. there is a
nursery to train vigorous men who
will sustain other industries and unless
there is agriculture this cannot do
that. an industrial system cannot be
kept alive"-Lloyd George.

Replacing Sugar With Cotton.

According to the South African Jour-
nal of Industries for July, 1919, the re-
placement Of cane by cotton in parts
of Zululand is being taken notice of
by the sugar industry.
A number of planters declare that
they find cotton more paying and a
more promising crop than sugar.
A great advantage in favor of cot
ton is that crop can be planted and
handled within about six months and
does not involve the heavy expenditure
for wagons, track and vehicles, such
as is essential with cane.
