$ouno that, Christmas in some
climes icame in the alaidst of suit -
mer heat and sunshine, It Was,
difacult for them to keep tin tjlil
same kindyof celebrations as •tlaer
had been accustomed to in then'n .
NOrthern' Ian*
Finland "'Christmas Day is
"Janda," and the English' language
retains the Saxon "juul' in "Yule"'
and "Noel," the title .given by the
early. Saxons' heathen ancestors to
this seaSan's festival to welcome
the turning back of the sun. So
obviously this Made it a Feast of
Fire and 'Light.
In England, the "bringing in of
the Yule Log" was a great event.
A huge lag was dragged inta the
house in the midst of great re.-
joicings and put into the tremend-
ous .fireplace and then the house-
hold 'gathered around for the fun
and frolic and feasting.
Customs vary, and in Sweden
sometimes the Yule log is burned
in the open, field, the peasants
dancing around the blaze and pre-
serving the ashes from year to
year' In Roumania theo•gaily-garb-
ed household gather around the
log, an as the sparks fly, they
send their wishes upward with the.
sparks to secure, their •fulfilment.
But the Jewish Feast of Light was
held an December 17th, and dis-
ciples of the greatest Jew' who
ever lived soon came to call their
chief festival by the same title.
The Jewish Feast of Tabernacles
• is commemorated at the same sea-
son, and from this we doubtless
get the custom of decorating our
houses with green boughs, as well
as holly and mistletoe.
• That brings us to trees in gen-
eral'and to one in particular. The
•'Gipsy people have a pretty legend
that the 'Christ -Child is closely
akin to them, for He also was born
.in the cbppn air ,and un.d.p.ra wintry
sky. itilte-fial3:Thiiime, and the
yew trees drew 'near in order to
shelter Him under their branches,
for Vlach gracious service they
have had conferred on them their
evergreen character: But the oak
and the ash .revealed ',where the
,Babe lay, so they ,became the woods
cb;iefly chosen for burning at
Ohristmas-tide.
The 'Christmas tree is compara-
tively modern. The earliest allu-
sion to it seems to have been at
Strasbourg' in 1605. A German
;princess took the Christmas tree
to France in 1840. Up to the in-
troduction of the German oust=
into England (by Prince. Albert,
the husband of Queen Victoria) the
•Man's tree was the holly and the
woman's the ivy, at Christmastide.
From trees it is an easy transi-
tion to wood, and to cribs and
boxes made Of wood. No one

Roast Peacock
Fashions in Christmas einners
come and go. In olden days at a
'Christmas feast in England, next
in importance to the boar's head
as a"Christmas dish was the pea-
cock. To prepare the bird for the
table was a task entailing no little
trouble. The skin was first care-
fully stripped off with the plumage
• adhering. The bird was then roast-
ed; when done and partially coaled
irWas sewed up _again in its feath-
ers,' its beak painted -with gilt; and
so sent to the table. Sometimes
the Whole body was covered with
leaf gold. 'This' "food for lovers
and meat for lords" was stuffed
with spices and sweets, basted with
yolks of eggs and served with
• plenty of gravy.
• The noble bird, Was not served by
common. hands; that privilege was
• reserved for the lady guests most
distinguished by birth or beauty.
One of them carried it into the
dining hall to the sounds of music,
the rest ,of the ladies following in
due order, ' The dish was set down
before the master of the house or
his most honored -guest. The latest
instance of peacock eating record-
ed was at adinner given to William
IV, when Duke of •Clarence, by the
Governor of Grenada.
