Him, GIFTS 0F THE’ MAG! The gifw of the Magi, on the first Christmas Dny-—gold, frankinccnse and myrrh-are talked about by all Christendom, but few are familiar xvith the nature and origin of the precious perfume offerings. Frank- incense is s. gum obtained from a tree which grows in Bomaliland. East Africa, right out of the bare marble rocks, the roots being at- tached by a. thick substance resemb- ling mortar. The gum was used by the ancient Egyptians in their re- ligious rights. Myrrh, also a gum. comes from a tree growing in the eastern part of Africa and Arabia. It was used by the ancients es a remedy for pain, as s. perfume and as incense in their temples. THE CHRISTMAS BIRD In spite of the large part poultry and hens‘ eggs now play in our dietary, they were late additions to the human cusine. Julius Ccaser, in Bello Galileo says that the Bri- tons tabooed fowl and goose as well as the rabbit. Presumably they avoided them for the same reason that some savage tribes do today, because they fear to eat of the flesh of such timid creatures would in tum make them cowardly. The hen is not mentioned in the Old Testa- ment, although there is an allusion to an egg in Job. Nor does Homer mention them. Until about 1500 B. C. the only fowl: inithe wanawveie denizens of the jungles of India and Btu-ma. The inevitable crowing at dawn of the jungle cocks is still noted by hunters. The first domestication took place in Burma and reached China about 1100 B. C. They reached Greece by way of Persia about the time of Socrates. 'I‘hey are men- tioned by Aristophanes, who accused Socrates of being a corrupter of youth. In the New Testament the crowing of the cock reproaches Peter for his desertlon. The turkey is a. native American bird and formerly wild turkey roamed over most of the continent, buirthere were several varieties. It was domesticated in France and England in the 16th century and eventually reintroduced to this country. The common wild turkey ranged from southern Canada to Florida and Mexico but has been so persistently huntctl‘ that it is now was domesticated by the Indians ‘colors the coming of the white 3mm. and it. was this breed which Iwns carried to Europe. The turkeys ‘of Central America excel in variety and splendor of plumage. The domesticated turkey does wcll in this c01111i-ry and ihis your, as usual, the Canadian turkey is no small factor in the imlidny trade. CHANNEL TRAIN FERRY A train ferry similar to that in operation between New Bruns- wick and Prince Edward Island, ‘ though probably on a. larger scale, is planned for the English Chan- ncl. On the English side the ferry will start from Dover, with Dun- kirk as the landing place in France. The enterprise is under- . taken by the Southern railway of England and the London Express announces that. in the Summer of 1534 it. will be possible for travel- lcrs to enter a railway compart- o.’ the first ment in London and reach Con- stantinople without changing. The ferry is intended primarily for merchandise traffic, but the ves- sels, it is stated, have been de- signed to carry a limited number of passengers as well, and it will be possible, in due course, to run sleeping cars between London. Paris, and elsewhere. Three up-to-date train-ferry ves- sels will be built, and tenders will shortly he invited. It ls intended to begin the service during the Summer of 1934, and arrangements are in hand xvith the French rall- way companies u-iih this objective in View. THE PART OMITTED While congratulating our local coutetnporrugv ulw" TBYCYUIIEUO "5 old-time pollcy- of quoting editorial- ly from that great organ of Liberal opinion, the Toronto Globe, we note with regret, that in its 011MB“ tlon of yesterday our contemporary —possibly, of course, by accident- omitted the most salient passage of i The Globe's editorial on “National- ism and Empire.” The passage reads as follows: "The Globe has taken issue with Mr. King on his attitude toward the Ottawa Conference, and still must do so. It; could not support his plea for a reversal‘ from "selfish nationalism" and do otherwise, for it seems that the one demonstration made against “selfish nationalism" was at Ottawa when representatives of onc-qitarter of the world got together and tried honestly and seriously’ to compromise on fis- cal diffcrcnccs and work harmon- iously on a common basis. “The old days of national policies are to puss away," commented the Liberal Leader at one point in his speech, perhaps with a. touch of irony; "we are now to have something new in the world, namely, Imperial policies so far as the British Empire is concent- ed." Something new, at least, is not a continuance of selfish na- iionallsnr. ‘The flourishing days of Liberalism in Canada were ‘lllldCf one form of Imperialism, the cnd of which created an ad- ditional group of independent 11a- tlons cut loose to mind each its own business regardless of the others. The example of the Brit- ish Emplre, so far, has not; been such asbrought contempt. There is no reason to believe that if it continues to work as a harmon- ious unlt. its example will fail in the future, and that it will not still be the greatest force in existence for the promotion 0f democratic principles and thought." EDITORIAL NOTES To all our readers, young and old, L». ll/lleiry Christmas! You may have ceased to believe i11 Santa. Claus, but it is very satis- fying to do something that will keep alive that belief in somebody else. We have culled the poets for a fresh Christmas thought, and ltave found none better than the m1- lowing couplet by Sarah Teasedalc: "Children's faces looking up, Holding wonder like n cup." Guardian Santa. Pals have gone "over the top" this year in a most satisfactory way. This will be great news for the kiddies. The demand was greater than ever before, but. so was the generosity of the rc- sponse. Children around the hearth arc at the hcart of Christmas. It. ls they who radiate the happiness that we associate with ihis most festive Material luxuries are poor things without the music of their tmiicriug fcci, and joyous voices. SCiISOII.

THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN The payment last week of $95,500,- 000 by the British Government; to the United States by the removal of gold a few feet in the Bank of England recalls that a single ship- ment of $96,060,000 in- gold was made from Asia to England via Canada.

Referring to home rule in Scot- land an exchange says everyone knows the remark of the young Scot who, asked on his return home from a. buLsTness tour 1n the South how he got on with the English re- plicdz. "Well, I didn't see many. You see, I only dealt with ihc hauls of departments." . Mr. Roger Babion, the most BX- tensively quoted economist in the United States, says prosperity will return but, what. is needed "i5 11°‘ bills in Congress, but to educate the’: people to take their hoardlngs and spend them. I am sure that a DMD- er campaign, mapped by an 0x- perlenccd advertising agency, would bring millions of boarded money into the buying market." Mr. Bab- son is a good advertiser hirusclf and should start something. The strange thing is that the Un- ited States which already has paw- erful land and sea forces and is pos- sibly the most. self-contaimd na- . tlon on the face of the earth, thinks it necessary to spend each year huge sums of moncy- on army and navy. and to maintain a. fleet 000M to that of Great Britain, although her position is not nearly so vul- ticrable. It; is hmd to imagine any of the European nations starving the United States out or invading the country in guy important way. If the United States believes the European annamcnis are unneces- sary her own armaments should be cvcn less necessary and shc could play a noble part in world affairs by rotting the exatnplc. Britain has paid $05,550,000 in the Government. of the United States, just as she said she would, just as sine agreed to do. France, Belgium and other rtatlons may do as they like; Britain pays as long as the present. deb-t arrangement stands. The word "default" is becoming al- together too popular. The worst feat- ure of the present. day use of 1m expression is that there seems to be no loss of pride nor honor when people discuss it.

A Christmas dinner, with the middle classes of this EmPlYh" says dear old Mrs. Beeton, who. like kings and editors, refers to her- lself as ‘we,’ “would scarcely be a Christmas dinner without its tur- key; and we can lmlkine no oblwt of greater envy than is PYWBW! by a respected, portly paterfamilias , carving, at the season devoted to good cheer and genial charity, his own fat. turkey, and carving it well." Well said, Mrs. Beeton. May your shadow never gross less. The good lady then proceeds to explain how to carve a turkey well. She knows all about it. With the help of diagrams, aha shows‘ how the point of the knife must; be inserted at A and drawn smoothly through i0 B and her knowledge of dissec- iion and anatomy inspires admira- tion. But suddenly she writes a sentence that chills the traditional marrow in the bones. "The legs," declares Mrs. Beeton, "are very ael- dom cut off and eaten at; the table. They are usually removed to the kitchen." Says you, Mrs. Beeton. Says you. Research by our corps of trained observers has prov- ed beyond doubt that livfra. Beeton never was at a Christmas dinner in her life. What. man or woman now living has ever seen the turkey leave the table with legs intact’! This is a scandal never permitted in any well-ordered home. Part o! the Christmas ritual is a mighty grawing of drumsticks. Mrs. Beeton is out of touch with mod- em thought. She has lost the mir- li: of youth. Youth must be served, Mrs. Bee- ion, even unto drumsticks, and while on the subject of youth one plea may be made for a change in the present; practice of Christmas dinners. You know how the family marches in upon the table where two kitchen chairs and the piano stool have been pressed into service for the gathered friends md ro- latlves. You have seen the young- sters impatiently sipping at soup, cfllnchins celery, nipping at olives. You have seen the turkey finally appear from the kitchen, and you have seen the carving begin. Here it is that the tragedy of the day be. gins, for polite manners demand that the guests and grown-ups be served first. Vfltat an absurdity! With maddening slowness, plate after plate is loaded with turkey, with cranberry sauce, with dressing, WW1 P ‘ and vegetables, only to be placed before thrjaded and weary adults of the party. One Christmas dinner more or less to anyone over forty memslittie but one more meal to be eaten-e. good meal to be sure, but just n meal, nevertheless. People who began eating meals in the nineteenth century cannot be expected to carry the same zest far into the twen- iieth. But think of the feelings of the youngster who has only half a. doz- en Christmas dinners behind him. Must he be forced to summon up what; scanty patience he has while the unnecessary politeness of so- ciety presses half-wanted viciuais upon the aged? What kind of treat- ment is this in a Christian world on Christmas Day? Grown-ups are fond of saying that Christmas is "the children's day." Let. them prove it by the surrender of their meal-time prerogatives. Why should the children sit. with their souls firyint; Out 1n flBQny as the steam- ing flavors of adult; helplnga pass and re-pass under their trembling noses? Their eyes dilate; their mouths water; they die a. thousand deaths. It is not good enough. _ Justice demands a change. A Christmas dinner should be served on the Communist maxim, "to each according to his needs.” If the youngllngs are given a flying start they will be ready for the second and third helpings which nature demands, while the more meagre appetites of the oldsters are still toying with the original portions of turkey that have fallen tmtc them.

THE BODY DEFENDEBS I have spoken before about the two kinds of cough; one kind is helpful as it clears out. any mucous in the wlndpipe and bronchial tubes, and the other does noth- ing but irritate the bronchial tubes thus causing exhaustion. The body has a number of de- fences agalnst any trouble that may attack it. For instance, if an object gets up the nose, or there is any irritation there causing mucius to gather, air is drawn through the mouth and this air is forced out through the nose carrying with it by a sneeze any object. or mucous in the nose. - If too much food or an irritating food is eaten the stomach immed- iately objecta, and the food is quickly forced up and out of the. mouth again. If the material doesn't immediately irritate the stomach, the glands in the stomach wall pour out: so much watery mucous that the material gets dissolved, a sort of nausea develops, and the stomach then throws up the material. If the harmful material gets down past the stomach and small intes- tine, the large intestine in which are the wastes from the food, 1m- mediately gets busy trying to rid the body of lt quickly. With its long muscle fibres (which look like the braid down the side of a sol- dier's trousers) it draws the wall of the intestine back behind the of- fending material, and then with its circular fibres it pushes the mater- ial downward and out of the body. It is the fast or violent working of these muscles that we call ‘cramps.’ If a wound or cut occurs, little blood vessels appear in the clot which fills the cut or wound, and then a hard material forms a scar. and the space is filled up again. 1f an object approaches the eye. the lid closes in the fraction of a second. If the little object. does get into the eye, the tears begin to flow, and this extra water usually washes the object_away. ‘ There are many other processes throughout the body which form what might be called the bocw “de- fenders’ as they work promptly and effectively when any need arises.

OECEMBER 24.1932» At this time of the year it would seem an if night, hastening with increasing impatience to hide all things ln_ darkness, wet-g jealous of the day. The light. falling to 1w- quire its full strength, quickly gives place to its adversary. Probably tn nothing have man's inventive pow- ers been so active as in his endea- vor to triumph over the terrors of din-mess. Light is among the first needs man has stmplled for lfm- self in his struggle against it. Yet darkness has its gracious gifts. As it descends upon the world nature prepares itself for rest. and sleep, and in the silence men recover strength of mind and body for the/duties and burdens of the new day. While it compels men to recognize their limitations 'lt also spurs them on to devise means to overcome them or to make them rninlstrant to their needs. Ivfuch that is best in human life is due to man's combat with darkness. It is not so long ago that Africa. was called the dark continent. We now are able to map out most of the continent, and before many years there will remain but little of it that has not been carefully sur- veyed. Men in modem times feel an irresistible impulse to explore what is hidden and to question that which is unfamiliar. the mysteries themselves any inquiry about them or from making any profmion of religion on the score that there is so much Hdden from their eyes. Christianity is for them a dark continent. Is not that fact a chal- lenge to their spiritual powers? Why should they not make an ef- fort to gain fuller knowledge of life's meaning? It is tn the energy of exploration fn their hope to test the verittee o! faith that men gain that certitude which is secured only by those who have the will tp seek it and the mind to understand when it, confronts them. The con- sciousness of life's mystery is a call to ceaseless inquiry, and though those who engage in it will not gain all their desire they are cer- tain of a. glorious reward. Men sometime; live in the dark- nea of thelr own devising. They refuse to use the knowledge that is offered to them or to welcome the chance of gaining more. The low moral and spiritual levels at which men are content to live re- sult; in a self-induced defxneee. a moral blindness which tempts men to turn from the light of truth t0 become the victim of their own perversity. Much that is obscure or confused would be plain if only w! would follow the light that. is given to us. At some time every man is called to endure tho darkness of sorrow, suffering. mxiety, or of death Then our testing comes. Ii; was in the darkness of the Cross, when it seemed as if the light: of- God had been overcome by evil, that, the Sinless sufferer won His great’; triumph and proceeded to the light of the resurrection. His servants also come 0o their time of dark- ness, when it seems as if God-were hiding His face from them. It is at; such times that‘ the grace of the former days appears to have come to naught, the assurance of the Divine succour is withdrawn. all comforts fall away, and men come to that dread experience which is sometimes I called "the dark night of the soul." But that darkness has its own illumination.
