History of the Yuletide Emblem Ex
tends Far Into the Mists of
Antiquity.
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. In the
vicinity of the mid-west, a short-needle
pine found in Michigan and Wiscon
sin may be used. On the 1'nciflc const
the white tir finds favor, while through
out Ohio, tho Norway spruce (s largely
used. In Mao land and Virginia, the
scrub pine and further south cedar
and holly. Iiest of all is tho sym
metrical balsam fir, each tiny leaf of
whicli sends out a breath of aromatic
fragrance.

AN OLD CHRISTMAS CUSTOM
Village Boys In North England Re
produce Play That Is as Old
as the Race.
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.

THE WILD BOAR'S HEAD FEAST
Animal of Woods In Early Days Pro
vided One cf the Most Popular
Christmas Dishes.
N MEDIEVAL England It
was customary to commence
all grand Christmas feasts
by the Rolemn ceremony of
bringing in the hour's head
ns the Initial dish. The master cook,
preceded by trumpeters and other
men with hoar spears and drawn fal
chions and pnges carrying muBturd,
bore the smoking head aloft on a sil
ver platter, which he deposited at the
head of ' the table. The head was
garnished and garlanded with rose
mary and laurel, and a lemon, symbol
of plenty, was plueed between its
grinning chops.
To the end of her life, Queen Vic
toria retnined tho .ancient custom;
also In many of the public schools and
universities the boar's head Is still
the great dish of the Christmas ban
quet On such occasions every diner
rises and Joins ln the "Boar's Song,"
which has been sung for centuries.
The words are set to the common
chant of the prose version in cathe
