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.
