(By EMMELINE VYNER) When you throw a log of wood on to the fire on a winter's even- ing and then sit back and watch it burn, you will have noticed that it emits occasionally g tiny bang a explosion, not much louder than a mere “Puff-f!" uttered uilder the breath. It was this sound that was the origlll of the Christmas cracker as we know it to-day. From the very small crackers, priced sixpense d. box of a dozen, to the giant creations standing six feet high, decorated with tinsel, ribbon. and artificial flowers and containing a valuable gift —all have sprung from the chance incident of a log of wood emitting smoky, Lilly bangs! That, and the keen ob- servatlon and tireless thought of the marl who sat watching that log burn away. Eighty-five years ago, when crinolines and antlmilcassars ruled the quiet Victorian day. a. certain Briton paid a vlsll; to the Con- tinent —quite an adventure at that time --and saw for the first time 1e French borl-bons. These were mina- ture sweets wrapped in tissue pap- er of various colours; they were bought mostly for weddings to throw to the happy couples, much as we now use confetti. Our visitor like the idea and thought it capable of development, so he brought a supply of boll-bolls back with him. filter mediiadllg on how he could improve t-llezll, lle had a quantity of brief mottoes printed on tiny slips of white paper. He folded one motto round each sweet inside the wrapping paper, lo which he gave a tiny twist at either end. The output oi‘ confection-sly lll those days was very limited, so the shopkeepers were glad to in vest in a supply of this attractive line. But the sale of it was only slow, though steady, for people at that time did not eat sweets as they do to-day. The traders stated that unless the product could be im- proved and made more original it would be no use continuing to offer it for sale. So that is how the in- ventor of mottoecl sweets came to be sitting by the fire night after night, watching the logs burn, thinking and vivonderiilg and rack- ing his brains, trying to evolve something that would make lllS sweets sell better. And then one night, right out of the fire he was so intently gazing at. came the in- spiration! Olle of the logs spllltter- ed and fizzled and seemed to have in its composition something that could be discharged, accompanied by a sudden sound. He sat up. his attention riveted on that particular log. His problem was solved. He would make the wrapping of his sweets much larger and insert- ‘lnto each packet something that would result in a small bang. For close on two years he worked and experimented with his “crack- ing bon-bon" to make it suitable for acceptance by til-e very clecorous society of that early Victorian era. He must have the “craclfl loud enough to draw notice and make other people lvailt to try one. ‘and be sudden and a trifle startling, yet he must consider the sensiilve lleryes of the ladies. old alld young, of that swoonlllg age If his in- velltiorl didn't suit the ladies it would ilot be successful financially. Cllil- dren were not catered for ‘lll those days as they are now. At. last he made his invention so satisfactory that it. could be sold and used anywhere Already it was long ln shape, as we see it 10-day. and has been dubbed by molly people-— Tile Elongated Squib It was made in only one type and wrapped up in coloured paper packets containing a dozen or half a dozen. They were called “Crack- ers" right away; but as they were more in demand at Christmas lime than at any other part of the _vear, the festive word was soon added to the title. and they became “Christ- mas Crackers." One tiling tile inventor had neglected to do. and that was to patent his amusing device. All East- ern merchant vlslted this country, on business as well as pleasure, and was at once intrigued with the new sweetcum-toy. I-le kept quiet, though, but when he returned to his own land he had a few packets stowed away among llls luggage. HP quickly decided to make tllcnl him- self and flood the home market. The first shlpload of these for- eign crackers arrived in London a- bout two mouths before the fol- lowing Christmas. Distributions was quickly done and tile shops were supplied, with nlore stock ill rsscrvc at the wholesalers. They were cheaper tlhhn the llome product, thus offering another inducement to the traders But the originator saw what had happened and, though time was short enough, he instantly took up 6-! hauler-Smu- dsvd modchelsmme 5,5,1...‘ popular pl] daily household tasks.

He commissioned oer- tairl factories to supply him at once with thousands of small goods — paper caps. rosettes. tiny toys and cheap Jewellery. These he put into the crackers instead of sweets; into the dearer kind he put both. He hired designers and artists by the dozen to prepare attractive covers and wrapping; azld he invited rhy- mestcrs to send in their work in bulk and name the price. l-Ie and his staff worked night and day, with the happy result that by the middle of December he supplied the home market with eight different types of Christmas crackers! The foreign goods —all of one type — were swamped: and the Eastern merchantss bit of sharp practice was rendered a total failure. Thanks to British enterprise. From that day to this Great Bri- tain has led ‘he way lh the manu- facture of Christmas crackers. As a proof of the ever-growing popularity of this attractive toy. we have only to notice how often the design of a Christmas cracker ls adopted as a costume for a fancy dress dance. A certain famous actress of last century was so intrigued with pretty crackers that at every party she attended at Christmas time she always asked permission to take a- way with her the cracker she liked best. She is said to have had a beautiful collection, for some of the specimens were unique. - Early in this century a rlcll Russian who lived in a palace on the Neva gave a Christmas party to which he invited four hundred guests. He llad ordered a most elaborate display of crackers; and each one contained a. present, the total value of them amounting to 200,000 roubles! The gifts were mostly Jewellery, one gentleman receiving a lovely tie-pin of Aus- tralian opal. Later on he had it val- ued in Paris, and was told that it was vzortll £30! On the shores of tile Bosphorus at Christmas time the wealthy residents make an entertainment of the cracker. A huge one is designed. decorated with a butterfly on the wing and besprlngled with the most lovely tints. Tile butterfly alone measures tl-liee feet across. The enormous cracker is carried into the the dining-room on the shoulders of two strong Nubians. who lay it lengthwise on the table. The host and hostess each take a string that they $69 at the ends of the crack- er. They pull, there is a bang with a’ tiny cloud of pink smoke. the firework breaks in the middle, and there emerges a pretty Clroassian dancer! At the same moment the band strikes up. the girl steps on to n little platform and begins to dance before the delighted guests. Yet. notwithstanding the pic- turesque ways in which Christmas crackers can be used. is not Cupid's message contained in the little motto or printed rhyme very often the most felling and effective. ’1'Iie Cliristnlas Carolers Are Welcome Everywhere Here collie the Corolers. so it used to be.

To some of the antique ballad airs. like "Good King Weilceslaus," says Mr Cllubb tile singers would lidcl a hymn tune or two —"Ol:oe in David's Royal City, or “Hark the Herald Angels Sing." “Punctucting the bustle of domestic preparation for the coming feast gave a breath of poetry that touched the spirit of Clllrstmas with an endearing beauty, pay by clay the tide of joyous anticipation rose until the crescendo broke into a iUfliE of exuberance."

Ancients Gave Presents as Most People Do Now The custom of making presents at Christmas ls derived from very ancient usage. It was a Teutonic invention. In Latin countries gifts were exchanged at New Year's writes James Waldo Fawcett in the Wasll- lilgtoll (D C.) Evening Star. The decoration of churches with nlislletoe and llolly is likewise a pagan survival - Nativity plays and pageants trace buck to a pro-Christian era. Tile sports of the Lords of Misrule in England are supposed to be an in- hcrltmlce from the Saturnalia of heathen Rome.
