LORE OF THE YULE LOG
Last Years Which Shotild Be
Preserved for Good Luck.

The Yule-log a probable variant Of
the bonfire-s0 Characteristic of sun
festivals-has some interesting folk
ore Of It's own.
In medieval England. Its duration
.oincided with the Christmas revels.
AS long as 1t burned, the tenant had a
right to feed at the lords expense. The
log was often cut from an aSh-tree-
the sacred tree of our Saxon forefath-
ars. There Is a gypsy legend that our
Lord was born in field and brought
up by an ash-fire.
The log should. properly, be lighted
with a portion Of last years log,
piece of which is always supposed to
be preserved for luck. At the same
time that the Christmas fire was lit, the
Christmas candle had to he lighted.
"a portion of last years taper has al-
so to be kept.) 1t was unlucky to snuff
the Christmas candle, which burned
for II days-the period of festivity.
At st. Johns college, Oxford. can still
he seen the ancient stone socket with
the Agnus Del stamp, in which the
Christmas candle was placed on the
high table.
On the Isle of Man, the folk former
ly carried long tapers to church ~On
Christmas eve.

CHRISTMAS ACTS AS TONIC
Happy and ExhiIarating Mental Spirit
Has Good Effect on People, De-
clare Medical Observers.

Close observers in the ranks of the
interesting fact concerning the Christ.
mas season-that 1t generally has
good tonic effect upon their patients
In explanation of this the London
Lancet says that since Christmas has
come to be regarded. as a time far
good cheer, universal feeling of con.
tentment and happiness Is engendered
at this time of joyousness. routine Is
for while relieved, a certain fresh
ness is given to the daily round, diff
ferences of opinion are sunk. and
charitable spirit prevails. Is it, by
the way. hoping for too much that the
season of good fellowship should leave
some lasting effect upon the manners
and methods of all?
1t may not be easy to trace exactly
why this sense of exhilaration and
well-being comes with the advent OF
Christmas, for the psychological fac
tors concerned are not simple. But
the main point is that the mental state
does everybody good, and the annual
tuition as the prescription of the phySi
cian which gives tone and vigor to the
struggle in life's race. There Is nc
need nowadays, thanks to the good
sense of the people and the counsels
of their medical advisers, to mOralize
about the evils of a stupid indulgence
in food, alcohol and tobacco on fes
nSin thn
Practically everybody realizes the
great physiological advantages of be
ing wise on merry occasion and the
disadvantages of being fool.
Many more persons than formerly
feel where use ends AMI abuse begins
and they act sensbly accordingly; and
so far from it being a crime to make
the season festive by enjoying, on a
little extended scale perhaps, the
creature comforts of life, some decided
good Is done to both the mental anG
. physical health of the individual.
The festive season may, therefore
be welcomed which brings cheer tC
thousands, which induces the generous
and charitable to brace the mental anG
physical functions of the community
at large, giving 1t the opportunity OF
relinquishing it's business and its wOr
ries for a time, to start again re
freshed and ready for "the. trivial
round, the common task" The pre-
scription "a Merry Christmas" is
sound so long as the signature" OF
good sense Is observed.

How Sardines Are Taken.

Sardnes are taken in peculiar
way 4 Small-meshed net made Of
very fine blue thread is dropped into
the water astern of rowing boat.
Two men pull the boat steadily along,
while third stands up and throws
bait on each side of the net.
AS the sardineS fry to pass through
the meshes to reach the bait they are
caught by the gills. Every now and
again the men haul iI," detach the
entangled fish, then cast out the net
once more. Sometimes as many as five
or six thousand fishes per day are thus
taken. and the catch brings high prices.
But the value of these is discounted
by the growing cost of bait For this
purpose salted Gods roe is used. 1t
has to be obtained from Norway, and
the price rises continually. The sar
dine does not mind this. Being some
what of an epicure, it insists upon
Gods roe or nothing.
Cost him what it may, the Breton
fisher must bait with Gods roe or he
will get no sardiues.

NOT A FEMININE ATTRIBUTE
Idea That Skirts Especially Pertain to
the Weaker Sex Is Complete
ly Misleading.

IF there is one thing presumably GER
tain on this earth. in the opinion OF
most of us, 1t is that skirts are essen
TALLY feminine and that the speclai
feature of masculine attire is b.fur-
Gated garment But nothing is further
from the truth. To this day the ma
jority of the male element of the hui
man race, so far as ii wears clothes
at all, is skirted. And In past times
not so very long ago, gown down
to the feet was the correct wear of re-
spectability in civilized Europe. An
anecdote told of st. Louis, king OF
France, illustrates this well. That
monarch was the stoutest of warriors,
man whom 70 one knowing anything
about would dream, of accusing or ne
ing effeminate, but On one occasion ne
seriously offered to exchange costumes
with a richly dressed female relative
who had blamed him for wearing the
unpretentious garments he usually af-
fected, which she said were unSuited
TO n king. But she thought his gown
was too plain for her, so declined the
offer. Now, it Is impossible TO lmag
inc man like Louis even suggesting
such n thing If the dress of men ard
women had not hecn practically .d&a,
teal. except fer wa and hunting IN
deed glance at Oil pictures confirms
this Impression.

Ants That Plant.

A species of ants living on the semi
arid plains of Texas cultivate areas of
grass about their dwellings. On the
cultivated space, which may have an
area of ten to fifteen feet, only one
kind of grass is allowed to grow, and
it is said that the seeds of this grass
are planted by the ants. Roads are
laid out regularly, radiating from the
hill across the plain, and the shoots
of undesirable plants are promptly
nibbled off as fast as they appear
among the crops When the harvest
of the protected grass is ripe the ants
collect the seeds and convey them
along radiating highway to the little
rooms in their hills. Interesting and
wonderful is the economy of these
tiny insects. They may, when the col
onies are large and numerous enough.
do considerable damage to grain In
fields where their mounds are reared
and the clearhgs made.

THERE'S A SONG IN THE All

There's a song in the air!
There's a star in the sky!
There's a mothers deep prayer,
And a baby's low cry!
And the star rains its fire
While the beautiful sing
For the manger Of Bethlehem
Cradles king!
There's a tumult of joy
Ger the wonderful birth.
For the Virgins sweet boy
Is the Lord Of the earth.
Aye! the star rains its fire
While the beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles a king!
In the light of that star
Lie the ages impearled,
And that song from afar
Has swept Ger the world.
Every hearth Is a1ame,
And the beautiful sing
In the homes of the nations
That Jesus Is King!
We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
From the heavenly throng.
Aye! we shout to the lovely
EVangel they bring.
And we greet in his cradle
Our Savior and King.

Christ Is Born
by

Where millions died, as Christ,

Others from wrong and black OPP

Once more noW through the world

The song of all the ages, "Christ
is born"
Mute tongued to notes Of joy haze
been the bells,
And only childhood and old age
dared try
To sing, so near the threatening
battle sky.
The song that told, though dulled
By shrieking shells
Whose bursting turned a thousand
homes to hells,
The wonder of the ages, "Christ
is born"
Our faith in God has brought to us
the goal;
War-weary lands haze peace on
earth cgain;;
And in the SCARED and fire.
purged hearts of men,
Made sweet and strong By suffering
of the souI,
Through travail of a world once more
made whole,
Anew in human hearts the Christ
is born.
Dear God, the Christmas songs are
fruught Nth prayer
That Thou wilt be Nth those
whose tears still pay
That ve may haze the glory OF
this day;
That men may Ive their thanks;
that Eves may bear
