In n olden time they laid stress on "yulei? candle" and on "yule cake." In very i olren times, five hundred years ago, " they spoke of "yule-dough" or "yule baby'* which was dough cut out in the form of a little boy or little giri baked arul which :t was the custom j t t?Z bakers to present to their custom-! ors at Christmas. "Yule" is derived eitb -r from the Seandanav ian or Anglo-Saxon and there are four times as many explanations oi ghe?es at the original meaning of the word a> there are letters in it. It has been said that "yulelog" i.- a corruption of "ale-log" and it is i ;>-? * uvwn in i.mi inronicies mat it was a custom in England more es-! IX'dally in the county of Norfolk and other parts of the North, to allow j tenants and retainers of the Lord: of (he manor to urink the best of; j -trongest ale as long as the yule-lop I burned. For this reason the lord's j servants were interested in cutting the thickest <-'??! longest-burning log that ' hv \ could f <f ir th? lord's forest. li was cut as long as the fireplace , was wide, and knotty oak was usually eh- en. To the ashes of the yule-log wen I ascribed ertnir. efficiacious proper. ties and they -.ore gathered from the fireplace v rh aie.

Christian , mi.-sionarles, after converting tho northern pagans, required them t?? cut down a largo tree, hue from its| , trunk a heavy log and then burn J thj'.t ! ; a. a symbol that they re-; J nouneed thoir heathen gods. This! formal renunciation of paganism and induction into Christianity was often' timed to take place during the Christian celebration of the birth of Christ, and it is said that in this , way the yule-log came to bo a part of tho celebration of Christmas. Yule" is spelled in so many ways b> the early writers that it is confusing, and one cannot always make out. what "yule" is meant. A clear and frequent way of spelling in the middle ages was "ewele." Some writers have hit upon a theory that there is a connection between the words "yule" and "yowl" or "howl" and that this was the "yowling time" or the time for making noise and being festive- th?* time of greatest revelry of the year. | 2iay< l?arid L>?d (Not Write ot l(xe t PiaJma t i Dear Editor: I saw in last week's paper the question asked if David wrote all the Psalms. No he did not. There are several others that had a part in the Psaims. All but the 34th have titles in the Hebrew Bible. The latter was called by the Rabbis orphan j psalms. A11 of the first book of Psalms is attributed to David, all except the 1st, 2nd, 10th and 33rd. Following are the names of others that have a part in writing the Psalms Korah, Asaph, Solomon. Ethan.
