tends Far into the Mists e.
Antiquity.

A~ HE history Of Christmas tree

say It's origin Is connected
with the legendary Tree Of
Time, Ygdrasll. the great tree Of Morse
mythology. within whose roots aRd
branches heaven and earth are bound
Some say the custom may be traced to
the Egyptians who. al the time OF the
winter soistice. decorated their portals
with branches Of the date palm.
To Scandinavian legsod may per
haps be traced our custom Of Iilum-
mating the tree when darkness comes
Among the Greeks. Christmas is known
as the feast u lights.

CARD GAMES AT CHRISTMAS
Thin Pastebosrds Afforded Means o.
Entertainment In England ourino
YuIetide Season.

Att UNIVERSAL Christmas Gus
~ tom OF England In olden
times was playing at cards.
Persons who never touched
card al any other season
Of the year felt bound to play a few
games at Christmas.
= prohibitory statute OF Henry WIS
reign forbade card playing save during
the Christmas holidays OF course this
prohibition extended only TO persons OF
humble rank
Sir Roger De CoEerley took care to
provide both creature comfort and
amusement for his neighbors at Christ
mas by sending "a string Of hogs pud.
dings and pack Of cards" TO every
poor family in the parish.
Even the pulpit comes In FOR its
share OF anecdotes regarding playing
cards. Fuller gives an example OF a
clergyman preaching from Romans
1878, AS God hath dealt TO every
man the measure OF faith" The never
end gentleman In question adopted as
an illustration Of his discourse the
metaphor Of dealing as applied TO
cards, reminding his congregation that
they should follow suit. ever play
above board. improve the gifts dealt
out to them. take care OF their
trumps, play promptly when II came
their turn. etc.
Short notes we're frequently written
on the backs Of playing cards. In an
cid collection OF poetry Is found the
following lines:

Turks at Lausanne
 Becoming SuAen
Decline to Agree to Exempt
 Christian Minorities in Tw- key From Military Service.

Lausanne, Dec. 22.-(By The A. P.)- Christmas threatens to be stormy time at the Lausanne Wear East confer ence. Thursday was a bad day; today was worse for temper which did not seem to harmonize with the usual spirit of the Yuletida pervaded the session ot the sub-commission on minorities.
 Efforts were made to get Dr. Riza NUT Bey, the second Turkish delegate who formerly was accredit ad by the Ango- "a government to represent it at Mos COW, to agree to the exemption Of the Christian minorities in Turkey from mil 1tary service. But he refused fatly and Seemingly sullenly. He declined to give any reason for this and several other declinations.
 M. Laroche, of the French delegation made an appeal to Riza Nur Bey on military exemption saying, Come, make the allies a little Christmas present on this point" The Turkish delegate re- ] torted angrilly, we don't believe III i Christmas presents
 1 Riza Nur Bey also refused to agree to a provision for the preservation ol Christian cemettries in Turkey. Ihls caused much surprise as the Turks or dinarily are extremely careful to pro
 tect all cemeteries.
 1 The sub-commission ended the session seemingly with a feeling of utter dis gust at the attitude of Rfza Nur Bey which several members described al
