Origin of Yuletide

Yule was the name of the ancient
Scandinavian festival held ut the time
of the winter sOlStice. The word is Of
uncertain origin, says The Housekeep-
er, but ii probably is taken directly
from the Icelandic word "jol, mean
ing n feast Ii is curious TO note how
many nations of old marked the turn
of the ycar"-that is, the December
solStice-by festivals. The Egyptians,
the IIindus, the Perslans, the Greeks
and the Romans all had fensts at this
season, but especially the Northern
nations-the Teutons, the Scandinav-
ians. the early natives of Britain--re-
joiced at the event of the suns turn on
its coruse. The festival was kept with
much eating and drinking and noisy
ioIlity. 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 Ii 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 1t.

GRANDMOTHER NOT so SLOW
Possibly Less clip" Than the Maidens
of Today, but She Seemed to
Get There.

Grandma dlsdained the first aids TO
beauty-powder, rouge. eyebrow pen
ell and eyelash lotion.
She acknowledged before the world
that she had ears. She exposed them
to view.
She attended church regularly. She
knew nothing of theaters, mo7ies and
chewing gum.
She danced the minuet with men
she knew. She would have been horri-
fed with the primrose dance, the hula
and the shimmie.
She wore high necks and long
sleeves, both trimmed with lace. She
would have considered the sash and
shoulder strap of today indecent.
Her skirt was very long and her toes
peeped In and out like tiny mice, we
are told. She would have been scan
dalized by the knee-high skirt, the
sheer hose and the low shoes of the
present mode.
She gave no thought OF career the
vote or the great question of the day.
And yet
She knew what to do when grand
father came along.-Judge.

SILENT CHRISTMAS.

The first "still Christmas in Eng
land occurred in 1928 Henry VIII was
king. In December the king fell sick,
and the nation was filled with anxiety.
II was decided that the Christmas
should be silent one. There were
no bells. carols, or merry making. ST.
lent ChristmasvS were proclaimed In
the protectorate of Cromwell. The fes-
tiyal was altogether abolished, and the
display of the emblems of the nativity
was held to be seditious. The change
was most notable in London. There
was silence in the Strand; the chureh
bells were still.

Christmas Song

In every babe that gains the light
Through rack of human pain,
In each new-breathing soul tonight
The Christ-child lives again.
In every drop of anguish, pressed
From pallid woman's brow,
In every virgin mother-breast
His Mother whispers now.
And wise men through the dark
ness HE,
10, In the East-a Star.
O little Christ who is to die
Was your souls journey far?
Strange meteor wounds of death
and birth
Lighting an endless sea;
A little child has come to earth
And He must die for me.
