THE ROSE OF JERICHO
Pilgrims Told of Its Power to
Bloom on Christmas Day.
Blossom Given the Name of Resurrec-
tion Flower; Also Called st.
Marys Rose.

EVERAL varieties o. the so-called
among the novelties offered by florists,
but the original Is the rose 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, little plant
famed IN many legendary story,
which, when ripened, rolls up its
sprays and branches into q curious
little brown ball.
The desert winds snap off its dry
stem and whirl the seemingly dead
little ball away over sandy plains, like
a feather-weight. After 1t chances to
reach some damp place, in about ten
days, the moisture has wrought a
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
and gave it the name of resurrection
flower. Another old legend names it
from every spot where they halted to
rest.
The dry ball when unfolding drops
it's seeds, and from these 1t may be
cultivated as an annual To resurreCt
these dry balls 1t Is simply necessary
to keep them standing In glasses of
water, immersed about halfway to the
top of their branches. The expansion
is merely a mechanical spongelike
process.
The botanical name Of the rose of
Jericho is anastatiea, from anastasis,
resurrection. There are other species
of resurrection plants, but they are
not so attractive as their Dead sea
relative, which, although 1t has very
little beauty, has an honored place
among flowers because Of the many
fancies and associations it calls up
and its peculiar development.-Argus.

HOLLY MAY SOON BE EXTINCT
ponulsr Christmas Decoration 10
Growing Less Bountiful Each
Year, According to Reports.

Christmas holly, that merriest and
most beloved of all growing bushes,
is threatened with extinction, accord
ing to warning sounded by lovers
of a red Christmas. Once growing
profusely in southern New Jersey and
Maryland, it has been swept from
those states by the ruthless cutters
for the city markets, and must now
be sought in the swamps of Virginia
and North Carolina, where already
the supply Is growing less bountiful
each year. The Gulf states have been
similarly shorn to make holiday for
the large cities.
Within another generation, bOtanists
say holly will be as rare as mistletoe,
which used to grow in abundance on
the Atlantic seaboard as far north as
Rartan bay, but has now practically
ceased to exist as a Christmas dec
Grafton. When will the American
people learn that the bounty Of their
fields and woodlands is not limitless?
With sinking hearts nature lovers
have long since recorded the disap-
pearance of the delicate trailing ar
butus, flower of the Pilgrim maidens,
from all woods near large cities. The
mountain laurel, which once swept the
hills Of June with pale pink drifts
like naughty clouds running away
from the sunset, has now retreated
to the remote mountain sides.-New

OLD YULETIDE CAROLS
'Holy Night" Regarded as One of
Most Beautiful Songs.
"Draw Nigh, ImmanueI," One of Old
est Pieces and Far Ante
dates Any Others.

TT HE ancient Christmas CAROL holy
l. Night" is German in it's origin
and is considered by many persons to
be the most beautiful of all Christ
mas carols. 1t has sometimes been
ascribed to Martin Luther but the
consensus Of expert opinion is that it
is much older than his time and is one
of the oldest Of German folk songs.
The carol God Rest Ye Merry,
Gentlemen" is English in it's origin
and dates back to about the beginning
of the Seventeenth century, although
the author Of the words and the COM
poser of the music are unknown. The
fine old melody sung to this poem pos
sesses all the best qualifications Of a
sterling hymn tune and will probably
last as long as the verses with which
it is always associated.
The carol "Draw Nigh, Immanuel,"
is one of the oldest pieces of coherent
music in existence, and both the words
and music far antedate any Of the 9TH
ers. The music is an old French mel
Ody, dated from the Thirteenth CEN
tury, although, Of course, it has been
harmonized to conform with more
modern standards.
There is most curious but beauti-
full musical effect at the close of this
carol. The words of Draw Nigh, I'M
manuel" are about 100 years older
than the music, being taken from the
Mozarabic breviary of the Twelfth cen
tury, and 1t Is generally believed that
they were taken from the liturgy of
the early Christians at Toledo, Spain,
where the Mozarabic breviary was for
mulated.
Another carol, "The First Noel"
has a traditional French melody and
probably originated in Breton, al
though the exact origin of this fine old
song is somewhat in doubt.

CHRISTMAS TOKENS.
OF LOVE.

w HEN any uncertainty exists let
w us give a token of love, or
friendship, or human kindness, some
thing that, while expressing these
things will, at least, be harmless. Let
1t be something that does not last
that brings the meaning and vanishes
something that never will know the
indignity of the top shelf of the spare
room closet!
A knock at a friends door on
Christmas morning and the clasp of
hand do this. A growing plant does
it-but, most of all, thou beside Ee,
singing in the wildernessA-the personal
revelation does it. Suppose letter
came on Christmas morning, to say
hot "you are perfectly dear to have
sent me spool box" but Il want you
TO know that your patience, or cour-
age, or tenderness, during this last
year, will help me to live more brave
ly and courageously and lovingly this
next year" What Christmas pres
ent the receipt of such letter would
be to any one of US What
Christmas present for any one of US to
send to the human heart that has
given us courage for the burden and
heat of the day indianapolis News.

THE HOLY MANCER
"Presipio," Instead of Christmas
Tree, in Italy and Spain.
1t Is Representation of the Place
Where Baby Christ Lay in
Bethlehem.

@IRLS and boys Of Italy and Spain,
" which are called the Latin coun-
tries. never hang up their stockings
at Christmas time, nor do they have
Christmas trees. Kris Kringle and
Santa Claus are German saints and
the Christmas tree came out Of the
German forests long, long ago, when
the nations of northern Europe were
forest tribes 1t is the northern peo-
ples-the Germans Scandinavians
and English, all of whom are descend
ed from old Teutonic tribes-who keep
Christmas as Americans do.
Instead of the Christmas tree
Italian and Spanish boys and girls
have the presipio. "Presipio" means
manger, and it is d representation
of the manger where the baby Christ
lay in Bethlehem. 1t is presented in
different ways. Sometimes it shows
only the inside of the barn where the
Baby and His mother lay, with JO-
seph, the Three Wise Men and the ami
mails about. Sometimes it shows a
hillside, with the Wise Men coming on
foot or horseback, or on donkeys,
bringing their gifts to the stable. Some
times the manger is small-nOt more
than a foot square. Sometimes it is
large enough to occupy the whole end
of a ROOM 1t is built on a board
foundation and is made of wood, with
earth pebbles, dried grass and leaves
for the outdoor scenes. The figures
are carved Of wood, or perhaps little
dolls are used, all very carefully and.
deliberately dressed by the girls. Some
times brooks and lakes are ingeniously
represented with naper, glass or
singlass. Sometimes the whole is
rough and rude, but again 1t is very
neatly and beautifully done, and is
quaint and interesting when all COM
plete.
The French, who are half Latin and
half Teutonic in their makeup, mix
the customs of both races in their
Christmas keeping. They build the
manger and they also give the chill
dren presents; only, instead Of hang
ing her stocking, little French Bah
cite puts out her shoes. The French
call the manger "creche," and in coun-
try villages in France companies of
children still go from house to house
on Christmas eve, carrying the creche
and singing Christmas carols. Some
times they help to build beautiful
large creche in the village church, over
which they are very proud and de-
lighted.

Christmas Spirit, Peace and Good
Will Should Prevail.
Time to Be Happy and to Aid Others
in the Enjoyment of the
Seasons Cheer.

On earth, peace, good w1ll.-Luke 2:1%.
CURELY there is a mystic tie be-
~ tween spirit and nature, between
heaven and EARTH between God and
man. Not strange is 1t, then, that on
the night of the most wondrous birth
time has seen, the age sealed skies
should part and song Of angels en-
trance the watchers on Bethlehem's
plains.
What is the secret Of the unwonted
charm brought by this brightest day In
times calendar2 Why is the season
charged with such gladness? Why do
men and women feel that they can lay
down their vexing burdens and their
faces smile again with the faith and
Joy Of childhood's care-free days7
1t is the rapt influence of the an
gelic song on the natal night, Peace
on Earth" To humanity distract
ed troubled by doubts and fears,
wounded by sin and smitten by con-
science, God sends a message: Fear
not, / am your Father. give you a
Savior from sin and misery. You are
my children. My heavenly peace l
breathe upon you" And In this sweet
pledge of divine remembrance and
Fatherly love-of God at peace with
men-a wave of tranquil Joy foods the
world.
But, again, it is an evangel to man
Of peace with himself. Every man
la tn &c hnfnn q n
nermost personality Is the seat Of an
tagonisms. He is an instrument out
Of tune. The primal harmony Of his
spirit Is broken. He is at war with
himself. His baser strives with his
higher nature. Soul and body war
against each other But ION earth
peace" chants the seraphic choir. Re
gard the image Of God stamped upon
you. Put down the low and base. Let
the spirit rule and the body serve.
Finally, the Christmastide should
breathe the spirit Of peace in our busi-
ness and in all the relations of life.
Especially in our homes we can culti-
vate the Christmas spirit, displacing
their frequent discontents, fault find
ings and contentious with peace and
good will
For this glad time, at least, let US
all be better men and women; less
selfish, more kindly, easier to live with.
And how much happier will we be II
this Christmas spirit-its CHEEKY glow
and kindly warmth-stay with US all
through the year !-Junius B. Remen-
snyder.
