LIGHTING THE CHRISTMAS TREE
Christmas trees are usually young
growth Of spntco or ' balsam, al
though other evergreen trees are
sometimes used. As ' these trees
are very; roeluoug they are easily
ignited by lighted candies bimpend
ed from their branches. Once a twig
is ignited the entire treo lares into
a blaze Which is difficult to ex
tinguish. For this reason minia
ture electric lamps are new being
used for Christmas tree lighting.
The tiny electric lamps are ar
ranged iu long strings which can be
suspended and festooned from the !
tree and there is not the slightest'
Sanger of their Betting the bran .hes
on fire. The lamps are made in all j
colors and in a great variety of :
shapes. Many of them are made to j
represent birds, fruits, men, nni
mals, etc. One string ol the lights
Is enough for a email tree and
other strings niay be added txecord- j
Ing to the Eize of the tree. The !
cord is provided with an ordinary ,
screw plug which fits any electric
fixture. The lights can be snap- |
ped on and off a* desired. In this
R-ay the Christmas tree Is a thing of,
beauty and a Joy throughout the
holiday season, without' the danger

THE ORIGIN OF
THE YULE LOG
THE following story of the origin
of the Yule log In Virginia la
told 1n the Pictorial Review by
La Salle Corbell Pickett in an
article dealing with Christmas In the
south In wartime:
Cue lime an old black man was sit
ting in bis little cabin on a mountain
Bide 011 Christmas eve listening to the
cold wind howl over a world of snow
and wishing that he bad a tire to warm
him when be heard the cry of a little
child away out in the cold. The old
man hobbled to the door and looked
out across the snow, and the wind
came rushing in and made hiui shiver
so that Ills "onllest two teef" chattered
with cold Again the cry came across
the snow, and he wished with all bis
power of longing that he could go out
and find the unfortunate little one, for
the plaintive cry of a little child always
goes straight to the heart A third
time the cry came, and a miraculous
power seemed to Oil the old man's
veins. Ols muscles became,tense and
strong, and be stepped from the thresh
old into the snow, the crutch falling
back in the cabin.
In an Instant he was walking over
the expanse of frown snow with an
activity he had not possessed since he
used to "go to camp meetln'." By and
by he came to a little child caught iu a
enow bank. He lifted the child, and as
Its little form touched him a new
strenglii came into him. and the small
burden seemed to give him wings to
speed back to the little cabin. lie put
the child on the bed. drew the ragged
quilt around It and looked about to see
If there might be a piece of furniture
of which he could make a lire to warm
his small guest
At that Instant lie saw a great log
roll across die threshold and into itic
fireplace. The little child was looking !
at it with eyes like stars, and they
seut gleams of light that kindled the
log with the must brilliant fire the old
man had ever seen, and the dingy
little room was tilled with radiance
and warmth that brought a glow to
the soul as well as to the body and
seemed to flood the world with light
As the light wrapped the child in a
shining glory he laughed a laugh that
was like a song of the heart and float
ed up and away. The old man turned
his eyes to where the tire burned and
watched the flatm-s leap in opalescent
tints over the log forming the shape
of a cross in Ore.
At this point in the narrative Hrer
Simon usually became greatly excit
ed. and his eyes kindled as he went
on iu his rich dialect:
"De flames er de cross spread en
chase atter one ernudder, a-crawlin'
en a-creepiu' in en out en around en
about, a-skadlin' b.ver en a-skadlin'
dar; a-llppin' up higher and higher;
flrs' a lil blue blaze would come, den,
a yaller one, deu a bright red one
would flare up, en deu de blazes would
all mingulate darsefs tergedder—red
en blue en yaller en white would all j
mix wid de kiudleation colors er de
rainbow, en crackle en crackle en lip
higher en bigger en bigger, de crackles
i-getten' louder en loader, en de blazes
gittin' bigger en bigger."
As the old mau watched all this dis
play suddenly and magically appeared
a table covered with n Christmas feast
such as bad never been spread before
ills eyes, and never again was be hun
gry or cold, and never was there a
Christmas in old Virginia after that
without the Yule log and the Christ
mas child to give it light and warmth.
ALL UFOTtt TO
1F1A3SE EHJES SMRfflE :
©N CMIRBSTM AS EVE;
Tig given out in many a song and
story
That celebrate our blessed Saviour's
birth—
On Christmas eve all creatures do him
Glory,
Even the very lowliest ones of earth.
'Tis said that at the dawn of Christ
mas morning
Dumb animals are given power to
speak.
The masters of these creatures should
take warning
Lest they should be accused by things
so meek.
In lowly stall and manger there are
praises
Unto the Christ Child, whom they
claim as friend.
Each creature his own thankfulness up
raises
And sings a Christmas carol with
out end.
The stars on high unite in joyous sing
ing,
Telling the old, old story, ever new.
The bells from every steeple now are
ringing
Their message on the opalescent blue.
"Peace on earth, good will to every na
tion I"
This is the message all these sounds
foretell.
Both young and old. all things of his
creation,
Unite, for God is good and all is well.
All creatures, high and low, delight in
singing.
Both young and old and rich and
poor unite
In that sweet message which the bells
are ringing
Upon the first faint bean s of morn
ing light.
