WHY WE DECORATE AT CIIIIISTe
• MAS.
Why do we decorate at Clnistmas ?
Why the gifts on tbe Christmas -tree?
Why the holly about the walls, and
the laurel over the pictures? Why,
above all and the center of all, those
green and living growths, the mistle-
toe -boughs ?
Christmas seized upon these, things
for the celebration of the festival not
because they were green, but because
of the power that held theist green,
that kept them alive, that preserved
in thein the beauty of life, notwith-
standing the snow and sleet, the
wind and chilling rain and the with-
ering blast.
It is the spirit of these living
growths that appeals to us when all
the rest of inanimate Nature appears
to be sleeping under the mantle of
winter. Before Christmas was, the
Spirits behind the green were believ-
pd in by an imagina,tive people, and
the great festival adapted them,
The ancient Druids believed in the
spirits of tile holly, of the laurel, of
the great green trees that formed the
walls and living arches, of their tem-
ples. To them these things were
peopled with sylvan spia its that
loved the growths and kept then'
•green by protectin them from. 'win-
ter frosts. They tookthe branches
within their dwelling believing that
the spines wunla follow, and, there
eitercise their protecting ewe. .
Among these sm.:its they believed
none to be inore pow -mini or capable
of bringing greater blessing than
those of the reiistletoe.
These beliefs have gone froin the
world, but, we cling to tl-e emblenis
of them, and reiolee -amid them at
the Christmas celebration.
What inusic of the heavens—
What magic song of bliss --
What vision of the night-tale—
What mystic- light is this?
The silly sheep are blinded,
The shepherds in amaze
Stand awestruck, all the hillside
With glory is ablaze!
m.
The Angels' joyous chorus
Rings out into the night.
O Gloria in Excelsisi
Sing praises in tbe height.
Sing praises, men of Bethlehem,
Sing praises here below,
For Peace on earth and good -will
lie doth an you bestow.
IV.
For on this day is born there
Within your little town
A. child who Christ the Lord is
Yet wears no earthly crown:
bringeth joy and gladness
To you and all mankind,
Yea, Peace on earth and good -will
To men of equal mind.
V.
o blessed town of Bethlehem,
How happy is thy state!
IIow blest above all palaces
The stable at thy gate!
For, there in manger -cradle
(Oh true the' angel word!)
As King enthroned of all the worlds
Reigns Jesus Christ the Lord.

• THC7I---4-7IOLLY DAYS.
The holly days are now in sight,
The gladclest of the yea,.
When homes are wreathed in ever-
greens, "
And hearts aglow with cheer;
And boys and girls anticipate
The thne of glad huzzas1Vhe,
nwhoittsle,delight they'll turn he
On dear old Santa Claus.
The holly dayS are now in sight'
On every side 'tis --
The joyous tide is rising fast
That floods the heart's domain .
Good wills are voiced in every look
Along the crowded way;
Ah, me! what were the world with-
out
A Saviour's natal day!
dozen arrows, also of different col-
ors. (If the apparatus is home-
made, these, too, may be of paste-
board). The medium retiring as be-
fore. a spectator is invited to select
one of the arrows, and with it to
touch any one of the rings of the
target. On the Illeditiln'S retura she
indicate; with more or less make-
believe of mental effort, which ar-
row was used, and which circle of
the target was touched with it.
Here. again, the secret lien in an
agreed code of signals. The rings of
tbe target are regarded as numbered;
the bull's-eye as one, the ring near-
st it to two, stud so on. The ate
rotes in like manner each bear an
imaginary number, say, blue, one;
black, two; green, three; rod, four;
Mae, live; yellow, .six. Call the
blue "azure," and the initials Neill
C03110 in alphabetical order, a, b,
r, Y; under which conditions the •
sequence of the colors will be recall-
ed without difficulty.
The number of the partictilar ar.
row used is signalled to the medium
by the way in which the wand,,or its
substitute, is held. Thus if it be
held by its upper end in the right
hand, with one linger lying along It,
two; if encircled by all the fingers,
three; if encircled in like manner,
but round the central four; if placed
under the arm., five; if laid on the
table, six. The ring of the target
which has been touched may be indi-
cated by the position of the left
hand. If it grasps the lapel of the
• coat, the bull's-eye bas been touched;
if the thumb is tucked into :the
vest pocket, ring No. 1. If the
hand is placed in the trouser pocket,
No. 2; if allowed to hang down by
the side, No. 3; and if resting on
the hip, the wbite space outside tbe

TELEGRAMS.
This is an excellent game. Each
of the players gives a letter in turn;
until twelve have beel'. obtained,
which are written in the same order
at the • top of each piece. of paper.
Ten minutes or a quarter of an hour
are allowed, in which each player
writes a sentence beginning with the
chosen initials. The- messages • are
then read aloud. It is an excellent
practise for condensing one's ideas.
The results are often very aniusieg.
Sorn.e people merelY string words to-
gether, but others ran suggest,
whole story in a few words. • Sup-
posing the hatters are p, g, t, t, 11,
g, p, s, j, NV, 111, j. One plyer will
evolve the following sentence which,
thougb silly, is consecutive: "Please
give Tommy the new ga.ine played
since January with rnuch joy." An-
other will formulate the following
with exactly the same letters: “Papa
getting too tiresome. No g,arnes
possible. Send John with muzzle,
Jennie." (The name of an imagin-
ary sender may be placed at the end
if tbe letters allOw of it, but it is
option.)
'But if the professor 31 oilo absent-
minded that be can't rcraeml;er his
