LIQUIDATING THE HYMN OF HATE

AA&& AAAE n <SAAs OA' AA<- - From the New York World.
 Wagner's Die Walkure" has been performed at the Paris opera to a crowded house, and so far as can be learned, there were no demonstrations on the boulevards, not a cafe was wrecked. and there were no interpella- tions in the Chamber of Deputies. Ap- parently not single 100 per cent red blooded French patrioit protested against the proclamation of the opera with enemy music.
 It will all seem very strange to our own home defenders of the republic against the Prussian music menace But it is to be born in mind that Paris is too nsar the old firing line to see a peril of the kind in it's proper perspective. Distance which lends enchantment also magnifies the proportions of bugaboos.
 At least the incident gives gratifying evidence of progress in liquidating the hymn of hate in the country which suf- fered most from its animus, Perhaps it will eventually be liquidated in New York, where except for the agitation of professional patriots. prejudice against German music is visibly subsiding. Tristan" in English at the Metropoli- tan and German operas in German at the Manhattan have been performed without popular tumult and in time there may be return to conditions of complete sanity in the matter.
 Why, indeed. an element of a sup posedly intelligent public should ever have become hysterical over question of musical art in no way related to poll itics or patriotism has been one of the queer psychological effects of the war.

Famous Paintings


 The exhibition of prints, copies of famous paintings will be open all week from to o'clock every afternoon at the rooms of the Art league in the Watts building" said Miss Margaret McAdory, art supervisor for Jefferson county.
 During these hours the various churches, clubs and schools will have committees present to act as hostesses and receive the visitors. An art ex- hibit is one of the most democratic ex- pressions of personalities imaginable, A pictured princess may calmly and serenely occupy a position by the side of an old woman peeling potatoes, peasant boy, a gypsy fortune teller, or beggar by the fountain.
 Hundreds of people have already visited the exhibit and many more are expected to avail themselves of this op- portunity. We hope that every person in Birmingham and in fact Jefferson county who wishes to see these pictures will visit the exhibit this week"

late W. G. 4. Debson, X. A. Cuthbert
Bede had card printed from his own
design for circulation in 1915, and two
years later his printers, a Newcastle
firm, put number of cards on the
market. About the same time. in 1916.
J. G. HOrsley designed a card for Sir

was a typical scene of feasting and

Star of Bethlehem in Holland.

In Holland the harbinger of Christ
mas Is huge illuminated star which
is carried through the silent, dark.
Dutch streets, shining upon the crowd
of people and significant of the star
which once guided the three wise men
of the East. The young men who car
ry the star through the streets gather
money for the poor from the crowds
who come out to watch for it. After
this they betake themselves to the

ing to custom, is bound to set the
youths down to a splendid meal. This
is very great institution in many

QUEER WAYS OF MISTLET0E
Popular Christmas Green Fastens hs
Roots on Sturdy Trees and Re-
ceives Nourishment.

ATHE mistletoe is really a de-
generate for it is parasite.
Instead of being healthy
~ tree itself, it fastens its
roots upon the sturdy oak
and gum trees, and even depends on
others to have its seed carried to
places where they will grow The
numerous pearly white berries cover
ing the mistletoe all winter attract
the birds. When bird eats a cherry
he swallows the meat and drops the
pit, but the seed of the mistletoe is
sticky and clings to the birds bill The
only way for the bird TO rid himself
of the annoying seed is to wipe 1t off.
This he does. on some branch of the
tree on which he happens to be at
the time. Later this seed sprouts, and
not finding earth. which its habits
have made it cease to want, it sinks
its roots into the bark of the tree and
there receives the richest nourish-
ment. 1t keeps its leaves all winter,
and when the oaks are bare its waxy,
pale green leaves stand out prOmi-
nently against the dull brown bark

LAST OF THE TWELVE DAYS"
Epiphany, Originally, Was Celebrated
Rather Than Christmas, Accord
ing to Some Authorities.

AL PIPHANY is the last day Of
the Twelve Days" of which
nA Christmas is the first. Au-
thoritieS on this subject tell
us that originally it was
Epiphany which was celebrated rather
than Christmas. 1t was the baptism
of Jesus Tor the spiritual birth) which
interested the early church fathers
rather than Christmas (or the physical
birth). In some circles in early Chris
tianity the baptism appears to have
been looked upon as the rue birth of
Christ, the moment when. filled by the
spirit, He became the Son of God.
For some time the two events were
celebrated together on January 6.
Gradually the western church began
TO stress the physical birth, and even
tually the two events were celebrated
separately, December % being fixed
upon as the date for the Nativity. In
the East the celebration of the two
events continued for some time after
the separate feast of Christmas had
been instituted. The Church of Jeru-
salem stood out until the Seventh cen
fury, refusing TO adopt the new feast.
The Armenian church knows nothing
Of December o.. and still celebrates
the Nativity with the Epiphany in
January. Epiphany is a greater festi-
val In the Greek church than Christ
mas.
Such in bare outline is the story Of
the spread of Christmas as a separate
festival.
