viewed from the Quarter-line road.
Mr. Howe was interested in the
marble and agriculture of the val

celebrities, but asked about the cost
of land, whether the farms were
prosperous and how the apple crop
was.
"This is my first visit to New Eng

owed me on my first book. The prin-

Singing Christmas Carols.

Writing of Christmas of long ago
Chambers Book Of Days states:
amid SO many popular customs at
Christmas, full of so much sweet and
simple poetry, there is perhaps none
more charming than that of the Christ
mas carols which celebrate in joyous
yet devout strains the Nativity of the
Savior. The practice appears to be
as ancient as the celebration of Christ
mas itself" These carols are first
sung on Christmas eve, then on the
morning of Christmas Day, usually
by children and youths from the choir
of the parish church. The beautiful
practice survives in many parts of
England, and it is not wholly unknown
in Canada. In this city, for instance,
carol singing on Christmas Eve has
been revived by members of the Sal
walton Army.

use of the Christmas tree has descend

dressing of the tree with candles and
presents was feature of their mid.

Ivy is not used for Christmas dec

Bacchus and constituted almost fine

the bird was cooked. Then the skin
with the plumage intact was replaced,
and the bird served in a manner as
nearly as possible resembling real
life.
Mince pies are first mentioned in
1896 as in common use at Christmas
times. Authorities in the matter then
said they might be eaten as early as

Christmas comes, and the old heart goes
Gayly back to the dear days past
Days whose breath of the budding rose
Scents the years that have followed
fast;
Back to the Star whose spell was cast
Over young eyes and dazzled them,
Filling rapt youth with a wonder vast
Back to the Babe of Bethlehem!
Christmas comes, and the old faith lives.
Summoned back from the days gone
by
Days begemmed with the joy that gives
Mortals balm for their sob and sigh;
Back is the Star in the smiling sky,
Pilgrims haste as it urges them
On to the haven ever nigh
Back to the Babe of Bethlehem!
Christmas. come, when the world shall go
Bounding back to the best of days
Days when He in a manger low
Sages charmed into prayer and praise;

All men spy as it beckons them
Over Judea's winding ways
Back to the Babe of Bethlehem!

wood lot. must devise some other way

wood lot, must devise some other way
ton.
The easiest way to do this, if the
tree is not too large and heavy, Is to
insert the trunk into the hole through
the bottom of a wooden box, and
either paint this box green or red or
cover it with green or red paper.
A starch box will hold up small
tree perfectly, but a somewhat larger
box must be chosen for one of larger
growth. If, in spite Of all precautions,
the tree seems too heavy and is in
clined to wobble, weight the box on
either side with heavy stones. Some
times the box is filed with sand, the
trunk planted in that, and then the
wooden cover nailed in place to make
all very solid.
If one has any talent for carpentry,
even of the toughest sort, an effective
support can be made by mailing two
pieces of wood in the shape of a
square cross, holding the tree upon
this and mailing cleats to both tree
and support until it stands firmly.
A very pretty effect can be obtained
by covering the support of the tree
and the floor directly around it with
white cotton batting on which silver
tinsel, called "rain" in most shops, has
been sprinkled. This makes the tree
look as if it were growing in bunch
of snow glittering In the sun.
