Down the Road of Time.
ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS
Krutorro of the firrnt Festival Truer A
llnrk a the Time When C'hrls
lljinltr Assimilated Heathen
and Ilia Wklni,
"There In nothing new uniir the nun,"
Is an assertion peculiarly applicable to
Christinas customs. It la curloua that not
fine of the customs of the great festival Is
Christian In its origin. Christianity had
"to stoop to conquer" the heathen by the
assimilation of their rites and ceremonies.
Thomas Power O'Connor "Tay Fay" for
short having boen exploring the tomes of
nnthiulty, has this to say on the subject:
"According; to I'llny, the snnclty of the
mistletoe In the worship of tho Prulils was
an arcldent due to Its being the most rom
mon parasite of the oak. Any parasite
Krowlng upon that sacred tree was sup
posed to be CJod sent, and as the mistle
toe which, by the way, seldom now Is
f'Mind on the oak was then Its most fre
quent parasite, It was honored by the sac
rifice of a couple of white oxen, and some
time even by human sacrifices. In Scan
dinavian mythology the mistletoe so far
from being what It Is with us, one of the
Christmas weapons of Cupid furnished the
wood for the arrow by which the otherwise
Invulnerable Haider was slain. Raider, the
Kod of poetry, son of Odin and Krlga, ter
rified his mother by narrating to her a
dream of his own death. In her terror
KrlRa summoned all the powers of Na
ture earth, air, fire, water and all animals,
trees and plants and exacted from them an
oath that they should do Haider no hurt.
Thus secured, Haider took courage to Join
combat with the gods, and bis Invulnera
bility In buttle set bis archenemy, Lonke,
to ferret out its cause. I!ike, In the dis
guise of an old woman, praised to Priga
her son's valor, dwelling so much on his
mlrneulous escapes from death that Krlga
disclosed to him the secret of his Invul
nerability. "Nothing In Nature will injure
him, since I have bound all things by an
oath to abstain from hurting a hair of his
head; except," she added, as though by an
afterthought, "the mistletoe, which I had
forgotten, but of course nothing so Insig
nificant could possibly harm him." On this
hint l.oake suggested to the blind Heda an
arrow made out of mistletoe as tho only
effective weapon for Haider's destruction;
and with such an Insignificant weapon even
the blind Heda succeeded in slaying the
son of Odin.
Vale I.ob; and Christmas Tree.
The burning of the Yule log Is, like the
hanging of the mistletoe, of Scandinavian
origin, since our ancestors of this race
used to kindle bonfires at their feant Juul,
at the winter solstice in honor of Thor.
Hy the way, you can cheaply Insure your
house against Are by preserving an un
consumed fragment of the Yule log In
your cellar till the following Christmas
and using it to light the log of next year,
as llerrlck suggests i
"W ith the last year's brand
Light tho now bloek, and
For' good success In hla spending
On your psalteries play
That sweet luck may
Come while the log Is teendlng."
Teendlng I. e., burning.
Heathen and Scandinavian, again, are
both the Christmas tree and the Maypole,
symbolic of . the Scandinavian Ash,
YggdraslI, the tree of time, whoso roots
penetrate to heaven, to Oinnungagap
where tho frost giants dwell and to
Nlffholm, where dwells the great serpent,
Nldhogg, and under whose root Is ilel
heltn, the homo of the dead. The Christ
mas tree Is usually supposed to have been
Introduced Into England by Prince Albert,
but the following passage from "The
Grevllle Memoirs" shows that It was try
ing to tako root there eight years before
the accession of Queen Victoria: "De
cember 27, 1829 On Christmas day the
rrlncess Lleven got up a little fete such
as Is customary all over Germany. Threo
trees In great pots were put upon a long
table covered with linen; each tree was
Illuminated with three circular tiers of
colored wax candles blue, green, red and
white. Before each was displayed a quan
tity of toys, gloves, pocket handkerchlefsv
work boxes, books and various article,
presents made to the owner of the tree."
Tho custom was Imported Into America.
An Abandoned Custom.
From tjie Koman Saturnalia are derived
many of our Christmas customs and
among them that of masquerading. In
tho year 1400 Henry IV i entortaincd
at Christmas at Eltliam by twelve alder
men ami their sons us mummers. Shortly
afterwards, however, according to Fabyan,
a conspiracy to murder that king was or
ganized under the guise of a Twejfth
Night Mumming. The plot wa discovered
only a few hours before the time arranged
for the assassination. Indeed, It was the
numberless murders and other felonies
which were committed by mummers thut
provoked Henry VHI'a ordinance against
mumming or gulslng, commanding that ail
persons who went about thus disguised
.o great houses should be committed to
jhII for three months as rogues and vag
abonds and fined at tho king's pleasure.
"The lord of Misrule" Is also of Batur
nullan origin. "If," writes Prynne In hla
"Hlstrlomastlx." "we compare our Bac
chanalian Christ muses and New Year's
tides with the Koman Saturnalia and feasts
of Janus, wo shall find aueh near affinity
between, them both In regard of time and
In their manner of solemnising that we
must needs conclude the one to be but the
ape or Issue of the other, llem-o Poly dure
Virgil affirms In express terms that our
Christmas lords of misrule (which custom,
salth he, is chiefly observed In England)
together with dancing, masques, mummer
ies, stage plays, and such other Christinas
disorders now In use with Christians, were
derived from these Roman Saturnallan and
Uacchanallan festivals; which, concludes
ho. should cause all pious Christians eter
nally to abominate them." Btubbs tells
Us that these lords of misrule, whose reign
extended from All Hallows eve to Candle

Knork on I.onax Sermons.
Apropos of Irreverence In church, t can
not resist quoting the ever delightful
Pepys' account of Chrlstmaa day In 1662:
"llMd a pleasant walk to Whitehall, where
I Intended to have received the communion
with the family; but t cams a little too
late. Po I walked up Into the house and
Spent my time looking over pictures, par
tloularly the ships In Henry VIII's voyage
to Hullaen marking the great difference
between those built then and now. By and
by, down to the chapel again, where Bishop
Morley preached on the song of the
angels, "Glory to God on high, on earth
peace and good will towards men.' Mb
thought he made but a poor sermon, but
long, and reprehending the common Jollity
of the court for the true Joy that shall and
ought to be on those days. Particularly
concerning their excess In plays and gam
lng, saying that he whose office it Is to
keep gamesters In order and within bounds
serves but for a second rather In a duel-
meaning the groom porter. Upon which
It was worth observing how far they are
come from taking the reprehenslona-of a
bishop seriously, that they all laugh In the
chapel when he reflected on their 111 actions
and -courses. He did much press us to
Joy In these public days of Joy and to
hospitality. But one that stood by whis
pered In my ear that 'the bishop do not
spend one groat to the poor himself.' The
sermon done, a good anthem followed."
Here Is another characteristic Christmus
day entry of that sly diarist: "Christmas
day, lCti5 To church in the morning, and
there saw a wedding In the church, which
I have not seen many a day; and the young
people as merry one with another, and
strange to see what delight we married
peoplo have to see these poor fools decoyed
Into our condition, every man and woman
gazing and smiling at them."
BUSY TIMES IN TOY FACTORIES
Eight Hundred Varieties Turned Out
by the Tor Kunndrln
of Maine.
Gaily painted sleds, doll furniture and
miniature housekeeping sets for the little
folk of every clvlllxed country In the world
are turned out by an army of workmen In
the great toy factories of South Paris, Me.
There used to be a saying that all the toys
are made In Nuremburg. At one time pos
sibly that may have been true; nowadays,
It certainly Is not. The United States Is
tho greatest toy producing country In the
world, and New England leads every other
section of the land In originality and out
put. Eight hundred different kinds of toys are
made In one shop. Much of the work Is
done by machinery.
Buzz, and a chair seat Is sawed out and
thrown to the next operator, and In a
twinkling he has the seat ovalled and sand
papered. All these things are done so
quickly that one can hardly aee how, yet
the finished product is even and perfect.
One man can saw out 15,000 chair Meats in a
day.
In another department the rockers to the
chairs and the rounds and braces are sawed
out. Then the various parts are sent up
stairs, where there is a hive of busy
workers.
Tlier are huge machines with a man
seated before each, where the holes are
bored In the scats for the legs. Then an
other operator takes a drop of glue and
places the parts together.
In another department the rockera are
finished, the backs of the chairs are pre
pared and an endless belt delivers the var
ious parts to a long line of girls seated be
fore tables. A drop of glue here, a few well.
aimed blows with the mallet, and then you
have a chair! The expert operator places
many thousand chairs, together la a single
day. .
When the toys are finished that Is, as
far as the woodwork Is concerned they
aro rushed to the varnishing and paint
rooms. Here are large vats holding one
hundred or more gallons of varnish, into
which the workmen dip sled after sled.
They come out beautiful and shining.
There are the Dash, Speed, Flyer, Sham
rock, Cofnet, Sharpshooter, Pointer and a
host of others. There are horses, too, and
railway trains. c
Near by are the great moccasin factories,
and the way the white man makes mocca
sins Is another Interesting feature of the
Christmas products. . The Imported elk
skin that Is used la about the size of a
common cowhide; it has a creamy tint and
Is thick and heavy, but as soft as velvet.
It wears much longer than common
leather and la very soft and pliable to the
foot. Low cut moccasins are made, almost
entirely of what Is called elk skin, but la
not imported.
Tho skins are very small, containing only
enough stock to cut about two pairs, and
are much lighter In color than the real elk
skin. The moccasins are made almost en
tirely by hand.
Straight lasts are used. They are bulky,
clumsy looking things, rounded up at the
heel like a follower, and with merely the
general shape of the feet. Three or more
pairs of stockings are expected to be used
when wearing moocaslns. These afford the
fot a protection against the clumsy fit ot
the moccasin. Boston Herald.
HOME-MADE XMAS PRESENTS
Varlelr of LKtle Things for Practleal
Vae, Easily and Quickly
Made.
There are a thousand and one pretty and
useful little things that can be made with
very little trouble and expense. For tho
taunts and sisters, veil rolls are very pretty
and most useful. Get some ordinary tnall
lng tubes at any post oftlee and cover fhese
with cotton on which aome sachet powder
has been sprinkled. .Next buy some pretty
flowered silk and cut it In the length of the
mailing tube, allowing about an Inch and a
half over at each end; then sew It together
down the renter and at each end tie a bow
of baby ribbon corresponding In color to
the silk, then fray the edges beyond tha
baby ribbon and you will have an extremely
pretty gift, which has taken, at most, halt
an hour to make. Another attractive little
gift that can be easily made consists of
two round pieces of cardboard, which can
be covered with any old pieces of silk from
tha scrap box. Join the cardboard with
baby ribbon to which there has been strung
a spool of black and white silk and a
spool of black and white thread, or any
color or colors that are desired. Add a bit
of ribbon by which to hang It up, and tha
gift Is complete. To make it still mora
attractive a little pair of silver scissors and
a needle book may be added. With some
odd pieces of ribbon about a quarter of a
yard long and an Inch or so wide a nice
holder for safety pins can be fashioned.
Buy some very small brass rings and but
tonhole them around with pink or blue
silk. Attach all the ribbons to thla ring;
then at the end of each piece of ribbon at
tach a. smaller ling that has also been
buttonholed, and On thsss hang the safety
pins. .
To tha men cousins and uncles Christmas
gifts are always a more difficult proposi
tion, as a man la always hardur to please
and there Is not nearly so much choice.
A scarfpln, a pipe or a bok seem at first
to be about the only tilings to give, but
after all there are a number of small gifts
that will appeal to tha masculine mind.
Any girl that oan knit or crochet has an
unfailing source of supply In ties, as they
are all the rage now aVd can be made
very quickly of . aluoat any color im
aginable. But for the girl who Onda
crochet or knitting work difficult a useful
aa well as ornamental gift can be made
with a compaas. Make a good sized
circle on cardboard and then cut out
around the line and cover the circular
piece with silk. Next draw with a soft
pencil two eyes, a nose and a mouth,
and there results a good picture of the man
In the moon. Then attach two pieces ot
ribbon to hang It up with, and on the
Mack place some shaving paper. For a
cousin who wears glass cut out differ
ent animals In chamois for him to polish
his glasses on. Another present that la
easy to make and will be much appreciated
is made from a plain hoople stick and some
ribbon. Attach the ribbon at each end
with brass headed tacks. The ribbon Is
used to hang over the gas Jet and the man
hangs his ties over the stick.
Money Is always nice to have around the
holiday time and It would be a good plan
for every girl to commence early to lay
aside five or ten cents each day, and when
Christmas comes she will have quite a
little pin money to spend on gifts for all
her friends and relatives.
THE CURSE OF OUR TIME
Steady Inerense of Nervous Disorders
While Other Diseases Are
Conquered.
The progress of medical science has
brought us face to face with a curious
and suggestive fact. There can be little
doubt that "filth" diseases, as they are
called, are being slowly but surely van'
quished. The brilliant discoveries of Jen
ner and Koch and Pasteur and others
have raised the great hope that at no
distant day all the toxic scourges of
humanity will be brought under scientific
control. But there can be as little doubt
that functional disorders of the nervous
system are spreading with alarming ra
pidity, and that In their presence the
average physician stands baffled and be
wildered. Alienists are agreed that In
sanity Is Increasing; the sanatorluma for
nervous troubles are crowded, and In some
Instances overcrowded; everywhere the
thoughful observer marks the signs of
neurotic and disordered temperament. The
rise In our own time of various healing
cults, such as Christian science, faith heal
ing, divine healing, Eeoterlo vlbratlonlsm,
etc., points In the same direction, else
such systems would have no ralson
d'etre.
The field In which the various "lrregu
lar" healers win their therapeutic trl
umphs Is very extensive. It Includes such
miseries as neurasthenia, hysteria, hypo
chondria, Insomnia, mania - depression,
melancholia, nervous Irritability, fixed
Ideas, obsessions of one kind and another.
alcoholism, morphinism and cocalnlsm, loss
of control, perversions of feeling, and
other abnormalities too numerous to re
count. Doubtless behind these troubles lies
the dark Bhadow of heredity, yet the most
recent science assures us that the greater
portion of problems lies within our own
control, that education, environment, self
discipline, mental hygiene, and the In
fluences of strong personalities over weaker
ones are still more potent than the dead
hand of our ancestry.
Perhaps the most prevalent cause of
worry Is overwork. The vaulting ambi
tion that overreaches Itself and falls on
the other side Is far too common, espe
cially In this country and among business
and professional men. The overworked
man Is liable to become nervous, la easily
put out, Is Impatient with his friends, and
says things he worries about afterward.
A distinguished nerve specialist recom
mends that the nervous man should try
In every way through suitable food and
through systematic periods of rest to carry
a comfortable amount of fat Men "that
are fat, sleek headed men,- and such aa
sleep o' nights" are panoplied for the bat
tle of life. As Mrs. Carlyle wrote to a
friend after she had been delivered for
month from the speech of Thomas and the
burdens of housekeeping: "Thank God for
that blessed share of fat! It has made a
new 'worna nof me."
We all know what are the results of
overexertion. One of the commonplaces of
modern psychology is the profound unity
of mind, and brain. Loss of memory and
of will power, dulling of the power of at
tention with concomitant liability to mis
takes, blunting of the powers of observa
tlon euoh are the consequences of a sort
of blood poisoning by the chemical pro
ducts of an overworked brain. These mor
bid slates grow to a certain point, and we
have then neurasthenlo and psycasthentc
misery, and life seems utterly impossible
Modern medicine emphasizes the' value
of a hygienic mode of living. Rest at In
tervals, a sojourn In tho woods or In the
mountain tops, an occasional ten minutes
spent In silence, so that we may have our
own souls speak to us; attention to the
laws of health, moral and physiological
suc'ij form the true prophylactic against
the curse of our time. Boston Transcript.
DIED IN RAGS BUT HAD CASH
Home-Made ''Safety Deposit' of Colo
rado Miser Well Filled
with Coin.
Hidden in a goods box four feet square,
which was filled with chlnaware and old
cooking ustensils that appeared to have
rested there for at least a quarter of a
century, was discovered 12.052 placed In the
bottom of a ten-pound lard can. The money
was the hoarded wealth of Mrs. Georgian
Horton of Denver, who was found dead In
her kitchen.
Tho discovery was made by Mrs. Frank
Hackenberger, who was assisting Public
Administrator John Morley to follow up
the cursory search which a few days ago
resulted In the finding of a few unlm
portant papers and the fact that the In
mate of the hermitage was a most pecu
liar woman..
The room was the one Mrs. Horton le.
fused to let even her closest friends enter
It was filled with the queerest collec
tion of useful and good-for-nothing prop
erty imaginable. The money was In sil
ver, gold and bills of an Issue which was
placed In circulation during the civil war
and la today a curiosity. There was $42
In silver, $870 In gold and $1,$40 In bills
of large denominations.
Mrs. Horton, who had been In 111 health
for eight years since her husband's death,
and during that time had been a confirmed
recluse, was found dead by a neighbor. 8he
had been a great sufferer from dropsy, and
prevloua to her sudden death had been In
such a serious condition that an effort was
made to take her to the county hospital,
but she would not budge from her little
house, and, locking the doors, refused to
stir outside for fear she would be taken
unawares. She labored under the delusion
that everyone was attempting to take her
property, and so allowed but few to see her,
and those few had to remain In the kitchen.
Upon searching the house for tha first
time nothing of any value was unearthed
except two old watches and aome Jewelry
of old-fashioned make. The boxes and
cana and also tha cooking utensil were
filled with balls of neatly rolled string
and small tobacco sacka of buttons, which
were put away with the greatest of care.
There was also a room completely filled
with empty boxes of every description,
while a closet and several basketa were
