A CHRISTMAS LEGEND
Growing Of the Cock to Keep
Away EVi! Spirits.
Tale Of Saint Stephen, the First Mar
tyr, Whose Day is Deem.
Der Twenty.Six.

EVER since that first Christmas eve
IL the cock has croWed all night long
on the anniversary to keep away evil
spirits; for the cock is u holy bird
and a knowing one. There Is a pleas
ant tale Of him and Saint Stephen, the
first martyr, whose day is December
26, close by his dear Lotds.
Saint Stephen Was King HerOd's
steward, it seems, who served him in
the kitchen and at table. One night
as he was bringing in the bOar's head
for his masters dinner he saw the
Star shining over Bethlehem. Imme-
diately he set down the huge platter
and exclaimed:
mo longer, Herod, will I be thy
servant for a greater King than thou
is born"
"What aileth thee?' cried the King
wrathfuliy. "DO you lack meat or drink
that you would desert my service for
another's?"
NAY" answered Stephen. ~ lack
neither meat nor drink. But the Child
that is born this night is greater than
all of us; and Him only will l serve"
THAT is as true" QuOth HerOd,
shifting the table with his fist, "as that
this roast cock on the platter shall
crow before us"
Hardly we're the words out of his
mouth when the cock stretched his
neck and crowpd Justify, "Christus
natus est" At this proof that

THE ROSE OF JERICHO
Pilgrims Told Of Its Power to
Bloom on Christmas Day.
Blossom Given the Name OF Resurrec.
ton Flower; Also Called St.
Mary's Rose.

CEFERAL varieties o. the so-called
- resurrection plant have appeared
among the novelties offered by florists.
but the original is the rvse of Jericho.
Along the shores of the Dead sea, far
enough away to be OUT of reach Of the
death-dealing vapors and the salt
spray, grows this rose, a little plant
famed IN many legendary story,
which, when ripcued, rolls up its
sprays and branches into curious
little brown ball.
The desert winds snap off its dry
stem and whirl the seemingly dead
little ball away over sandy plains, like
feather-welg ht. After it chances to
reach some damp place, in about ten
days, the moisture has wrought q
miracle for the once dead is alive
again, green and growing.
The old-time pilgrims, who brought
back this plant with them from the
Holy Land, told wonderful tales of its
power to bloom out on Christmas day
anu gave II tlle name OIL resurrection
flower. Another old legend names it
from every spot where they halted to
rest.
The dry ball when unfolding drops
its seeds, and from these it may be
cultivated as an annual. To resurreCt
these dry balls it is simply necessary
to keep them standing in glasses Of
water, immersed about halfway to the
top of their branches. The expansion
is merely mechanical spongelikp
process.
The botanical name Of the rose OF
Jericho is anlstatica, from anastasis.

of resurrection plants, but they are
not so attractive as their Dead seq

little beauty, has an honored place
