Christmas Buperstlllonm

There are rnuny Christmas supersti-

tious long held as articles of fniththat are to be recalled-how that oxen kneel ln their- stalls 'at midnight 'on Christ- mas eve. in adoration of the Nativity- and for one hour have the power of speech; for that one hour, too, the lost spirits have rest. Judas sleeps, Herod ceases to clank his chains, the daugh- ter of Hcrodius muy pnuse in the dance in which she is condemned to spin for- ever, :rnrl l’ll:rte's ghost ceases its wrin- rlvr-ings on Mount Pilatus. It vvrrs be- licvcd. too, 'thnt the sound of church bells corrld be hcnrtl wherever rx church haul stood. though no truce rcnnrln, and tlnrt on that pregunnt night one sleep- ing in n manger' would see his future ln rr vision.-Country Life ln,Anrericn.

The Yule log is u remnnnt of the

Juul, `wlrcn thc Scurrdinavlrrus used to kindle huge tires in honor- of their god '1`hor. In some ports of old Eng- land bringing in the Yule log wus the principal ceremony of Christmas eve. Pnrt of the log was carefully preserv- ed to light the Yule log of the succeed- lug year. It was believed that a piece of the log in the house was a security against tire, and if a squinting person entered the room while it was burning ull sorts of ill luck would come to the family.
