This was a new muaic in what was still almost a new language, o f minstrel, literary and folk poetry. The ballad was ope of the forms In which many o f the traditional carols were cast. The Christmas tree had Us origin In Germany and Is o f comparatively re­ cent adoption in other countries. It is regarded by many as one o f the number o f pagan survivals which have been engrafted upon Christianity and Christian festivities. The worshipers o f the Norse gods, before the adoption o f Christianity, had a place In their scheme o f things for Iggdrasli, the tree of the world, which, with its roots and branches, was believed to bind to­ gether heaven, earth and hell. The Christmas tree is believed to be re­ lated to this tree In its origin. It be­ came: associated with the. Christian holiday .at some unknown time in the Middle Ages. In the United States the Christmas tree custom is probably I cbs than a century old. Up until the time of the Civil war it had not yet become a popular custom, although It was’ ob­ served by a large number o f the Ger­ man immigrants. Since then it has been generally adopted in this country and Canada, and is familiar in Eng­ land and other countries.

The superstition then grew that If one - could obtain a piece o f holly which had. boon used In a church it would bring good lack all year and would protect against lightning. ^ i a 9 (*, m i s s Burning the Yule Log, 1s Old Christmas Custom I N MANY an oM British mansion it was customary to light tall candles • on .Christmas eve, and then.a huge log was rolled onto the hearth, called the Yulelog. This log was so large that it required the strength of sev­ eral men to roll It into place. The log was cut from a tree felled nt mid­ night; and was to be placed on the hearth during midnight mass on Christmas eve, and was to' be lighted by the head o f the family. A piece of this burning wood was to be laid aside to light the next year's, log with, while at the same time, it would pro­ tect the household during the.coming year. In some sections of Germany a piece of this charred wood was placed under the bed to avert the much- dreaded lighting stroke. The burning o f the Yuleiog in eacii homestead seems to have been a survival o f the adoration o*ce offered to the sun at the winter solstice. Yule Candle and Holly Foretell Good and Evil 'T 'HERE are many odd superstitions A connected with Christmas candles and holly. One Is that if a girl puts three leaves tinder her pillow, giving ench the. name o f a possible husband, the-one that has turned in the morning will reveal her marriage destiny. The Christmas candle is still lighted,in some' o f the old Yorkshire farm'houses,- and Is carried with great ceremony all around the house and'Into every room. The bearer must be most care­ ful to shield the flame as each door fa opened, for it would be the worst o f luck should the candle happen to "waff out" In a draught Especially must the Yule candle be held over the churn. This is done In order to evict that malicious little sprite, Bob-o-the- Churn, who hides therein and spoils the bntter. . * First Christmas Card The Christmas card, in -its present- day form, was nonexistent until abont I860. Before that date there were Christmas cards of a sort, but they were -very . expensive, and but little used. The Idea for such a card orig­ inated with Sir Henry Cole, and the- first card printed was issued in 1846 by a London artist, Joseph Cundal. Usa for Christmas Envelope* The gay linings from Christmas en­ velopes cut into the shape of flowers make pretty and unique backing for Christmas tree lights. Or, cut into silhouette shapes, they provide some­ thing original in the way o f seals for decorating the gift packages.

The Saxon jarcbblahop, Elflred, before placing .the crown on William’s head, asked the Saxon i f the congregation would have William-for their king. Their "yea," uttered in a hoarse roar, made the Normans fear that they were about to kill William,\and tHey drew their awords and attacked.
