DIFFERENT NOW

In olden days they used to bring boars
head smoking into the feast and drag the
holly-grown Yule-log to the great fireplace
with special ceremonies.
And years afterwards the custom was for
bands of sweet-voiced boys to 60 from house
to house on Christmas morning, standing
grouped in the street and singing carols of
JOY to the mellow resonance of bells.
And in grandfather's time folks made up
jolly, boisterous sleighing parties, where all
mufled up snugly and let out the horses,
with the iron runners gliding swiftly over
the hardpacked snow.
But Mollie and l live in little house in
town, where the sanitary department keeps
the streets we'll swept clean of snow; where
there are municipal rules against chopping
down trees and no freplaces in which to
burn the logs, even if we had them; where
the policeman on the beat probably would
arrest the Christmas choiristers if they came
around by singing early in the morning. =
Mollie and l just wake up the kids and
let them tumble downstairs to see the tree
we trimmed the night before, and then let
them litter up the parlor, while she sits
quietly on the arm of my chair and smoke,
watching them most of the day afterwards.
But, let me tell you, friends, it's Christ
mas just the sa1ne.-Selected.

FOOD FROM SUNSHINE

Professor Osterhout the Harvard Unit
botanist, has produced nutritious food direct
ly from the elements as found in nature. The
three chief components of food are sugar,
fats and protein. Sugar has been produced
from the action of the sun on iron rust sub
merged in water, also by ultra violet rays,
radium and electricity. Protein he obtains
from carbon dioxide, water and ammonia.
And sugar and protein combined make fats.
The only drawback now is that the cost of
carrying on these processes is greater than
the present food cost, but he intimates that
further experimentation probably will reveal
new and less expensive processes. Incident
ally he, in connection with the need of more
money for research work, states that Japan
has led the way in raising the salaries of its
university professors, having granted in
increases of forty per cent.-Seleeted.

CHRISTMAS SUPERSTITIONS
Quaint Beliefs and Customs of the Countries
Across the Ocean
Selected
! We of the new world and the mod
I ern cIetor,os are a1xuaue deep1u inter.

~ We of the new world and the mod
Z,rA ern customs are always deeply inter-
ested in any quaint beliefs or unusual
mannerisms of the countries across the ocean.
Particularly have the habits of England and
France held us; the former because she is our
mother country, the latter because of the
unquenchable dear memory of Lafayette,
and more recently because of that same spirit
so gloriously upheld by Frances noble sons.
And it is well to know some of the home
ly, sweet little superstitions which prevail
among the people of our allies.
In England and in Scotland the saying
goes that it is unlucky for anybody but a
brunette to first cross the threshold on
Christmas morning.
To bake bread on Christmas day is praise
worthy, and loaves baked then will never
grow moldy. In these times of scarcity of
flour, the poor loaves do not stand half
chance to mold. Al
Woe to the housewife who on this day
turns mattress. 1t bodies i'll luck for the
whole year.
A superstition which had its origin in
Devonshire tells us that it is bad form and i'll
luck indeed not to wish the bees good morn
ing and the compliments of the season. On
Christmas eve the hives are decorated with
sprigs of green and bit of red ribbon. IT'S
also said that bees sing all night on Christ
mas eve. But bees are rather perpetual sim
gers, anyway.
The graceful traditions prevail, in north
ern England and Wales, that the birds and
beasts have some mystic connection with the
Nativity. Hence, the farmers and land
owners purchase sheaves of oats from little
boys who sell them as our boys sell holly.
These bundles are placed in convenient high
places in trees and fences, that the birds may
partake. The cattle, sheep, goats, and even
the pigs, are all given double the amount of
feelings on Christmas morning.
In Lyons, France, at the Founding hos
pital, very pretty custom is to welcome the
first baby that arrives with special honors-
beribboned cradle, padded basket, soft
clothing, solitude and bestowal of gifts,
and careful attention. This is done in ex-
piation of the poor welcome given to Wee
Child of Bethlehem 20 centuries ago, and a
beautiful thought it is.
In some provinces in France it is con-
sidered bad luck to cross a strange threshold
on Christmas day.-Selected.
