up in their hunks.

WITH THE CHRISTMAS PLANTS
Trees and Flowers Are Believed to
Owe Peculiaritles to Connection
With Jesus

g<r< HE legend Of the Glaston-
bury Thorn is that after the
~ death Of Jesus, Joseph OF
\~ Arimathea came over to
England. Shortly before
Christmas, he rested on the summit
Of Weary-all hill, Glastonbury. There
he thrust into the ground his stan,
and on Christmas eve 1t was found to
be covered with white blossoms. The
bush is said to have continued bloom
ing thus each Christmas eve until dur
ing the civil wars, when 1t was cut
down. Cuttings from the original
thorn are said to bloom In this same
wonderful way even yet.
The Silician children put penny
royal in their cots on Christmas eve,
believing that at the exact hour and
minute when Jesus was born 1t will
blossom
There is cherished legends In the
East that the Rose of Jericho first
bloss0med at the birth of Jesus, closed
at the crucifxion, and opened again
at Easter, from which comes Its name
of Resurrection flower.
Many plants, trees and flowers are
believed to owe their peculiarities TO
their connection with the birth or the
childhood of Jesus. 1.-THE Star Of
Bethlehem" is so called because Its
white starlike flowers resemble the
pictures of the Star Of the East.
"0ur Lady's Bedstraw" received Its
name because IL was believed that the
manger in which the Babe lay was
filed with this plant.
An old account tells the story In
this manner: 1.-THE broom and the
chick-peas began to rustic and crackle,
and by this noise betrayed the fugi-
tives The flax bristled up. Happily
for her, Mary was near juniper; the
hospltable tree opened Its branches as
arms and incl0sed the Virgin and the
Child within their folds, affording
them secure hiding place. Then the
Virgin uttered a maledictlon against
the brooms and the chick-peas, and
ever since that day they have always
rustled and cracked. But later the
Virgin pardoned the fax its weakness
and gave the Juniper her blessing"
which is said to account for the use
of the juniper as Christmas decoa-
lions In some countries.

SHOULD MAKE OTHERS HAPPY
Best Way to Celebrate Christmas 10
to Do Something In Memory Of
Childhood Days.

MATT SEEMS that when one
has grown little old, the
~ best and the happiest way
A~ to celebrate Christmas Is to
to do something for remem-
brance-in remembrance of ones own
childhood, for Christmas is really for
the children, after all.
1t is for children more than for 9TH
ers because II is day that commem-
crates the birth of child-that won
drous Christ child that was born in a
manger of stable in the little town
of Bethlehem 1000 years ago.
Now, there will be scarcely child
in all the world who will not await
the dawn of Christmas morning with
wondering soul. 1t Is the dawn Of
that day when the morning stars sang
together, and when peace on earth
and good viii toward men were pro-
claimed from the high heavens. But,
there will be many child to whom
Christmas will not bring Its dearly
longed-for happiness.
The children of the rich will not
be disappointed, nor will the children
Of the very poor be disappointed. 1t
is the child who has not rich or we'll
TODD folks, but who at the same time,
is not subject for charity, who will be
unhappy when Christmas comes.
And 1t is this child that you should
seek out and make happy-fOr remem-
brances.
You see, 1t is fact that We can
make happy Christmas for ourselves
only by making some one else happy.
DO not think that you can make a
happy Christmas for yourself any 9th
er way, because you cannot do so.
Try the way here pointed out. The
child is easily found, and when you
have found that one and have made 1t
happy, the very angels of God will
envy you the gladness Nat you will
feel.

BELIEFS OF The PEASANTS
Odd chris!u1as Superstitions Handed
Down From Past Ages to the
Ignorant Europeans.

gsy> HE peasantry of Europe
have had certain Christmas
surerstitions handed down
~ to them from past ages.
Just how far these simple
folk can be fooled is to be wondered.
II the light is let go out on Christ
mas morning you will see spirits.
II you are born at sermon time
Christmas eve, some one in the house
will die within the year.
If you steal hay the night before
Christmas, and give the cattle some,
they will thrive and you will not be
caught in any future thefts.
If you eat raw egg, fasting on
Christmas morn, you can carry heavy
weights. It is unlucky to carry any
thing from the house on Christmas
morning until something has been
brought in.
II is unlucky to give a neighbor
live coal TO kindle a fire with on
Christmas morning
If the fire burns brightly on Christ
mas morning, it betokens prosperity
during the year; If It smolders, adj
versity.
If dog bowls the night before
Christmas, 1t will go mad within the
year.
II you steal anything at Christmas
without being caught, you can steal
safely for year.
On Christmas eve thrash the gar
den with a fail, with only your shirt
on, and the grass will grow well next
year.
Tie wet strawbands around the or
chard trees on Christmas eve and II
will make them fruitful.
On Christmas eve put stone on
every tree, and they will bear the
more.
Beat the trees on Christmas night,
and they will bear the more.
II after a Christmas dinner you
shake out the tablecloth over the bare
ground under the open sky, crumb-
wort will grow on the spot.
II on Christmas day or eve, you
hang washcloth out on the hedge,
and then groom the horses with 1t,
they will grow fat.
AS often as the cock crows on
Christmas eve, the quarter of corn
will be as dear.
II you burn elder on Christmas eve,
you will have revealed to you all the
witches and sorcerers of the neighbor-
hood.
