BOTH CHRISTIAN AND PAGAN
Rites Of Mexican Festival Constitute
One Of the Strangest Mixtures
Known to History.

Probably the strangest mixture Of
the ancient and the modern, and Of
Christian and pagan rites, which can
be seen in the world today. is the an
nual Mexican festival of the "Mata-
chimes"
No white man can tell exactly what
rs the significance of this festival,
which is celebrated in all parts Of
the Mexican republic every spring.
Those who take part In II are typi-
cal Mexicans of Indian and Spanish
blood. with some purebred Indians
among them. The dances are much
ike the war and harvest dances of the
ApacheS, COmanches and other south
western Indians, except that many OF
the dancers flourish swords, and wear
by way of decoration, the tin tops OF
beer bottles.
The dancing Is kept up for two or
three days, and the ceremony ends
with dance about great wooden
cross which is set on high hill near
the town. This would seem to show
a Christian influence, and ii probably
does, but the cross Is known to have
been sacred to ancient Aztecs. In
deed, this whole ceremony Is undoubt-
eddy one of Aztec origin, with Chris
tian elements added.
This bewIldering mixture of pagan
and Christian religion is seen through
out the Southwest. The "Penitentes
Hermanos" OF Mexico and New Next
co are another example. On every
Good Friday they whip themselves IN
til the blood comes. as a penance, and
cruelty one Of their number with
ropes. These fanatics claim to be
Christians, but their practices have
been condemned by the church, and
like the Matachines can be traced back
to Aztec times.

Origin of Yuletide

Yule was the name of the ancient
Scandinavian festival held at the time
of the winter solstice The word is of
uncertain origin, says The HOusekeep-
er, but it probably is taken directly
from the Icelandic word ''jOl," mean
ing a feast. 1t is curious to note how
many nations of old marked the turn
of the year''-that is, the December
so1stice-by festivals. The Egyptians,
the Hindus, the Persians, the Greeks
and the Romans all had feastS at this
season, but especially the Northern
nations-the Teutons, the Scandinav-
ians, the early natives of Britain-re-
ioiced at the event Of the suns turn on
its cOruse. The festival was kept with
much eating and drinking and noisy
iollity. One Of the ceremonies was the
placing of an enormous log of wood
often so large that it required the
strength of several men to bring it in
upon the hearth fire in the huge fire.
place. The burning of the Yule log
was thought to insure good fortune to
the family, especially when charred
pieces of the log burned the year be-
fore and kept over for that purpose
were used to light it.
