Tyl HE history of Christmas tree tfl W I I1H11PA prtollria flit' tntih thn Am mists of antiquity. Some sny Its origin is connected with the legendary Tree of Time, Ygdrasil, the great tree of Norse mythology, within whose roots and branches heaven and earth are bound. Some say the custom may be traced to the Egyptians who, nt the time of the winter solstice, decorated their portals with branches of the date palm. To a Scandinavian legend may per haps be traced our custom of illum inating the tree when darkness comes. Among the Greeks, Christinas is known as the feast of lights. To people of different localities to day the term Christmas tree may moan flr, spruce, pine, cedar or even mag nolia., for cuch particular region makes use of the most suitable species that Is to be found near its markets.

N THE North of England some of the oldest of our Christinas customs are still faithfully observed. One of the quaintest is that of the village boys who call themselves "The Mummers." At Christmas time they perform a l'.ttle play that is as old as the English race. There are three chlct characters St. George, resplendent In silver-papered armor, and brandishing a wooden sword ; Beelzebub, who Is, of course, the famous dragon; and the Doctor, who wears a battered top-hat. At the beginning of the piny It Is announced that the countryside is be ing laid waste by Beelzebub. Various minor characters make an appeal for deliverance from the monster's sway. Then St. George bursts upon the scene. A fierce battle takes place, In which he slays Beelzebub, but is himself badly wounded. "At this point the Doc tor rushes In with a bottle, which be places to the saint's lips. "Tnk sooni o' -mah nlCf-nnn dahn thy tlff-tnff," he prescribes. So George drinks and Is cured. . Some. of the words used In the play are so old that neither the hoys nor the majority of the audience cun un derstand them. SO!S3- ITSTCASTZD It's tosstod.
