In the Scandinavian feast of Juul, when they burned huge bonfires in honnr of Thor, we discover the origin of the Yule log. The descendants of the old Norsemen, who no doubt are responsible for the custom . in England, carefully preserved half of the log with which to be burned at next Yuletide. and so we have the phi English proverb, but in poetical form, by Her nek: Part must be kept wherewith to tend The Christmas log next year. And where 'tis safely kept the lend Can de no akschirf here The Druldicnl contribution to the mod ern Christmas celebration originated in the annual feast given in honor of the Druid god Tutanus, who. corresponds to the Phoenician sun god Banl. His fa vorite among all trees and plants of the forest was supposed to be the mistletoe. The number three was held in rever ence by these ancient people, and. be cause the leaves and berries of this par asite grew in clusters of three, this, in addition to the glory of being Tutanus' favorite, made the plant sacred, and an nunlly there was a great festival given in its honor. .- In tbe choice and selection of the Yule log the ash tree plays a very important part. Id Scandinavian mythology it is Odin's tree and was most noble, for its wood made the spear and the javelin, the oar and the mast. In their lan guage ash means man, and the legend runs that when the sons of Bor, who were sons of Odin, formed the first man and woman tbey were made out of a piece of ash. This man was named Aska. And at the present day in Devon shire, as a relic of this pagan reverence for this tree, we find the Christmas fagot made of ash sticks, bound tightly to gether by green withes or bands of pol lard oak. As each withe bursts a quart of cider Is passed around, and healths are drunk, amid great glee and rejoicing. The gypsies, too, and the wild hill peo ple of Bavaria and Bohemia reverence the ash, although their legends attached to it are Christian in their origin. Bos ton Herald.

The legend runs that in the earliest period ot the Chris tian church some communities of Chris tians celebrated the festivsl of Christmas on Jan. 1, others observing it on the Uth of that month. In some of the eastern churches it was kept about the time of the Jewish Passover, near the end ot March. There ia also some evidence of Ita ha vine- been observed on Bept, JH. be tas- the Feast of Tabernacles. In the year A.

Aadnaasa a.o. mM3mmVmi t gt I -poocombatantT raataie ClareDce Addington was disconsolate almost to a degree of desperation. In very truth he believed his mental per turbation to be entirely without prece dence. Moreover, the fact that bis 14 companions, 'who, together with him self, constituted the correspondents' mess, were to a man in a similar frame of mind tended to vindicate rather than temper his dejectedness. Until yesterday a full month had elapsed since his arrival in the Philippines a month of hustling and scurrying from one-outpost to another on the firing line In the interest of his paper with out developing a single item of genuine Interest. But yesterday a battle bad been fought, a battle embracing all the elements of a splendid story. Ten hours of steady fighting, wherein ev ery foot of ground, lost or gained, had been stubbornly contested for by both sides; then the final indomitable charge by the American forces and the utter rout of the enemy. Ah, but It had been magnificent! And the opportunity had promised to amply compensate foe the tedious, wearisome ordeal that bad preceded it. Far Into the ensuing night the enter prising scribes had tolled, reeling off their copy by the light af flickering, close screened candles In anticipation of being allowed, the privilege of hur rying the same to Manila for transmis sion by cable to their various papers. But such expectations had early been thwarted, the general In command hav ing Issued an order prohibiting all per sons In the American camp from pass ing the lines that night Bo the eager correspondents had .curbed their Im patience as best they contend sleep lessly bided, the morrow. But morn ing had only brought additional dis appointment, for reports had been re ceived at headquarter setting rortn the intelligence that a psatlon of the enemy's forces bad made a rretour dur ing. the night, overrunning the jungle In the rear of the American army. Not withstanding this somewhat awkward circumstance, not one of the 13 cor respondents bad hesitated in his de termination to get bis story tnrougn to Manila, even though forced to car ry it on foot The commanding offi cer, however, had entertained views of bis own on this subject, with the re sult that a second order had been an nounced forbidding any attempt to con vey news matter to the rear until safe avenue had been developed for the Dornose. Small wonder, then, tba chafing, fret ting and fnmlng that agitated the preee contingent of that particular outpost! "The supreme eminence of all that's lronlcair soliloquized Addington aa be gtood ruefully surveying the quire and a half of close written copy be had prepared the evening before, "Here'g an account that would go a way to ward Justifying Journalistic exist ence anywhere but In these Iniquitous regions. What' a the sense In tagging an army half way round the earth to aee a light yon can't report? Better have staid at bom and looked tot an alignment on a cocking main. Be sides, n he re's the chier. I can near him rhapsodize when this report comes ambling along a week after the asso ciated dispatches." Here Addington panaeJ. while tne mestsl picture of bis wrathful superior assumed Its utmost proportions. In cidentally be aiiowtd bis gase to pen etrate beyond the Immediate latitude occupied by bis moody aaaociates. How different the rest of the camp appear ed. Look where be would, all was eav tbusiasm and expectancy as the sol diers busied themselves preparing for the day's work, whatever It might be. Here was a battalion of Infantry as sembled in light marching order im patiently awaiting the command to move forward to again diepota the sjoeetloa of supremacy with the foe. Close at nana a Danery or nera artil lery was taking Bp a position prepar atory to sterling a distant point, where nortioo of the enemy's forces were reported to have congregated. A half cynical smOs flitted over AcJdlngton'B tares as be watcnea tneae prepara- tiooa.' How often sines nie arrival ai the front bad be allowed himself to be carried away, delnded by prw3setr oca tectica. It was ail right eoougn tor the sMidier, ibis perpetaaU tessfcaa and waiting during the long intervale between battles, for when a fight did off his rnartial aspirations wars ia a measure appeased. But bow dif ferent with the field joaraaiiat. wlw as a aKBCOtDbatant could not fight aad aa a respondent was t orMddea to cor reapendi The thought galled nlm. Ia taa latter esse be was clearly handl- eaxxwd. But be was a ttoroagb And as. soca was ne aso Tittle distance from where be men of the ambulance corpf under anmyTmrgeohwere "gathered about a handcar on the narrow gauge tracks, beside which the troops were encamped. Addington was familiar with the motives of the little party. The four men bad volunteered to ac company the surgeon several miles back along the railroad over the scene f yesterday's fighting in quest of cer tain members .of the command who bad been numbered among the "miss ing" in the recent casualties. The character of the expedition appealed to bis sense of admiration, for under the circumstances neither brassard nor hospital flag was any safeguard against attack from the Insurgents, who were known to Infest the locality to be visited. Suddenly the Impulse seized him to Join this little excursion. It would at least serve to divert bis thoughts from the unpleasant theme that at present dominated bis brain. Hastily folding his copy, he placed it In an Inner pock et of his blouse and crossed over to the party. As be drew near the final arrangements for the start had been consummated. .The men were already taking their places In the singular conveyance. Is your squad complete, sir?" cour teously inquired the correspondent of the medical officer In charge. At the question the latter turned and regarded the speaker with manifest surprise. Then he answered, pleasant ly enough: Well, yes, considering there is room for but four men at the brakes. Hard ly the most Interesting subject for a cable dispatch, however," be added jocularly. But I'm not hunting news this morning," replied Addington seriously. Fact Is, I'd like to accompany your party if you don't object You might include me as a sort of supernumerary a relief crew, as It were "Oh, you're quite welcome to go with us If you so desire," was the cordial response, "but I must nrst get you a permit!" And, taking the name of his latest volunteer, the officer hastened away to headquarters. Returning In a few moments with the necessary pass, the surgeon, followed by Addington, stepped aboard the car, and a moment later the party were trundling along' over the narrow rails, bound away on their hazardous mission. For the first mile the route lay , through a comparatively open stretch of country, commanded by the pickets stationed on the outskirts of the Amer ican camp. But beyond this the track entered a dense brake, the depths of which were Impenetrable to the eye, save at intervals, where the exuberant growth bad been beaten down by the irresistible advanco of the conquering army." It was here that much of the hardest fighting bad transpired, and here consequently the work of the am bulance party began. Slowly tbey worked thejr way onward, pausing at frequent Intervals to beat about through the surrounding thicket In their search for the missing, be tbey living or dead. In this manner a dis tance of some three miles bad been covered without developing anything of an encouraging nature, when of a sudden the sound of rifle shots was heard emanating from a distant point directly along the road. Faint as the reports fell upon their bearing the men were quick to analyze them, plainly distinguishing the occasional Spring field from the more promiscuous Mau ser. "Our fellows to a certainty,'' ob served one. "Yes, and putting up a fight against nil kinds of odds," declared another. "Come," said the -surgeon briefly. "We must go to them.' ) Down the track rumbled the band car, the men straining every nerve at the brakes. Another mile and the scene of the conflict was at band. In deed, the car had actually swept through a straggling line of Filipinos crouching In the tbatcblike jungle of tree fern and bamboo. Less than half a thousand yards beyond, at tbe sum mit of a. slight hummock, a beap of stones and earth appeared, and be hind this the besieged party was In trenched, neld st bay by overwhelming numbers of the enemy. As tbe band- car burst Into view It was greeted si murtaneoosly with a feeble cheer from tbe beleaguered occupants of tbe rifle pit ahead and a volley of shots from tbe Insurgents behind. In toe same Instant one of tbe men relaxed bis grasp on tbe brake and sank des perately wounded to the bottom of the ear. Without a moment's hesitation Addington sprang to tbe stricken man's place and, laying bold on the handle bar, strove with tbe others to main tain the speed tbey bad developed. As tbe car approached tbe bass of tbe fortified hummock two men arose from tbe rifle pit and, bearing a wounded romrade between them, hastened to meet their deliverers. - They were tbe sole survivors of aa original party of ten who bad become separated from their command during tbe battle on tbe previous day. At eight of this fee ble remnant of tbe gallant little gar rison tbe Filipinos set up a fierce, ex ultant about and. breaking from their cover, dashed forward to prevent their escape. But tbe handcar bad already been brought to a stop, and H was evi dent that tbe wounded and exhausted Americana would be rescued by tbeir comrades ere tbev evwiM h Hakea. ataeinr this, tbe f ortoos horde paased In Its onward rush and discharged a volley at tbe fugitives, succeeding in bringing one of them down with a wotmd In the thigh. As be fell, how ever, Addington leaped to tbe ground. followed aa instant later by tbe sur geon and throe attendants. Hashing to tbe spot, tbe former seised the fallen Ban's rifle and while the surgeon and als assistants caught up tbe wounded aasnsted the third soldier In coveting tbe retreat to the car. At the first re sult ef tbetr fire tbe Filipinos bad again d forward, tut apoa meeting with sock nnexpected opposition tbey straightway paased to deliver another vafley. By- this time. However, the wounded havl been pieced oa the car, and tbe ssea ware agnia at tbe brakes. all bat Addlngtoe. lie had reached the side of tbe ear aad aa the face ef the enemy when tbe second crasb ef mus ketry came and with It a bunding Saab of Bcbt before his eyes aa though tbe whole nnl verse bad aaddenly burst forth In names, then darkness attar, tocopcejvnble darkness snd obBvloe.

Then be ceased to wonder at the indisposition of the re fractory member, considering the man ner In which it was swathed in band ages.

We often audible tone. "Wonder where I am and what's happened?" The words brought an anxious faced nurse to his bedside. , " "Poor boy, delirious again," she com mented aloud to herself. . "No, I'm not a particle delirious," protested the Injured man. "And I'd like to know where I am" If you don't mind telling me." "Why, you are In the hospital at Ma nila," replied the nurse, more cheer fully. "You've been here ever since you were wounded, a week ago." Wounded?--repeated Addington vaguely. "I don't understand." The doctor here will remind you of It," was the nurse's response as a sur geon approached -and stood at his bedside. Ah, Addington!" exclaimed the lat ter warmly. "I'm sincerely glad to see such an improvement in your con dition.. You've had a very bad week of it since that little affair of ours up on tbe railroad, but you'll mend rap Idly from now on." The speaker's words and face to gether brought a sudden flood of rec ollection to the patient's mind. "Ah, I rehjember it ail now," be mused, "all but coming hero to Manila I Are tbe rest of the fellows tbe correspond entsalso hero?" 'No," was the reply. "We came here direct from the scene of the fight You see, at tbe last moment you got that unfortunate wound In tbe head, which, with so many Injured already on my bands and the country between us and camp overrun with Filipinos, forced me to continue on -to the city." At this Juncture another recollection flashed Into Addlngton's mind, and with It an expression of deep concern settled upon bis countenance. "You say this happened a week ago?" be Interrogated. "Yes, But why all this anxiety?' "Because of my failure to report tbe big fight,'' explained tbe wounded cor respondent "Tbe other fellows have at least sent In a late account long be fore this." Notwithstanding which calamity tbe surgeon looked down at bis patient and smiled serenely. "If that be tbe extent of your trou bles," he said slowly, "you have noth ing further to worry over. In your delirium on tbe way here you mention ed tbe report of that battle so repeat edly that I realized It must be of mo mentous consequence to you.

He looks too slippery for me." - - ' When the average man, however, having some secret conviction that be hi a born physiognomist, tries to form positive Judgments about people by mere Individual signs, he is likely to err sadly. Many a naturally gifted or ator has been pronounced by such a judge as a man given over to dissipa tion because his full, prominent sau cerlike eye bears some resemblance to an eye full by dissipation. Tbe latter case, however. Is easily distinguisha ble. Physical pleasure has a tendency to draw up tbe lower eyelid as though to half close the eye.' It soon becomes thicker, fleshier and remains pressed up against tbe eye like a soft cushion, giving this appearance of fullness to the eye, the sign for fluency and great command of language. Undoubtedly much Is told about us by our eyes. Dogs and children have liecn called natural physiognomists. A dog sometimes will refuse any caresses or tidbits from some stranger and slink off, but will run up to another man equally as strnugo to him. wagging bis tall, and begin to lick his hand. Chil dren also know well who will grant their request and wbo will refuse gruff ly. A 7-y car-old boy wbo went up to a stranger to ask blm to do something, when asked why be went to that man when his uncle was by, answered,; "Well, because tbe man bad 'yes' writ ten In his eyes." - Many professions apply some trnlt or other of the human eye to their own particular use. Burgeons nod dentists, remembering that some of tbe most delicate nerves of the human body are In the eye, when giving amestbetlcs Judge by bis eye when the patient Is sufficiently under the Influence of the drug. They lift the upper eyelid and feel tbe eyeball with tbeir linger. Wben the eyeball no longer answers to the touch of the linger, tbe surgeon feels assured that the patient Is sufficiently Oblivious to tbe Influence of the outer world for blm to begin operations. So. likewise, many forms of poisoning can be told by tbe condition In which the eye Is found. Habitual use of drugs. like laudanum, opium, etc- has ai marked effect on the eye, and tbe un naturally distended pupil of victims to tbe Influence of such drugs easily "gives them away." But tbe most Interesting of the eye's "give sways' to Its use aa an effective detector of double dealing. A private detective, in a discussion as to how far the eye can be depended upon to detect falsehood, ssys: "It Is sometimes pretty bard to tell from tbe manner of a smart fluent talker whether be to telling tbe truth or not Of course In tbe esse of as unskillful, amateur liar the thing Is simple. Even tbe average man. wbo usually to a pretty poor observer, ess determine for himself whether the man Ilea, for tbe would be prevaricator usually takes good care to betray blm- aelf. -He Involuntarily seeks to svoid meeting the eyes of his Intended vic tim by averting bis fsce sod shifting his eyes. He no more can refrain from acting in bis suspicions manner than can a man look straight at some bright light after staying In a dark room for some time. Tbe action of both In avoiding to look af a thing too strong for tbe delicate nerves of tbe eye Is Instinctive sod Involuntary. Hot tbe liar of sufficient practice can acquire enough self control to refrain from showing tbess telltale signs. "To detect false hood In rases of this kind we employ a delicate test which, la tbe bands of a clever man. to Infalli ble. We call It tbe -eye test' The sharp detective puts a sodden, direct question to tbe crook which adults ef no equivocal reply and which goes to tbe root of tbe matter. As tbe man tries to answer tbe detective steadily looks Into the pupils of bis eyes aad carefully observes any changes or movements of tbe Iris. Should tbe man lie tn, answering. It will be shown by tbe niuacalar twitching of tbe eye, as If trying to make tbe aperture ef tbe eys smaller. This Is tbe same movement as results In trying to avoid too strong a light.

The hus'janda were abseut from home when the ladles gave birth to children, twins being bora to one and one to the other. The single baby was transferred to the bed of tlie twins In orJer to make the father of the twins tblnk be was the father of triplets. Then, after the Joke bad been allow ed to cause consternation for a time In tbe mind of the supposed father of the triplets, the whole thing was exposed, but the mothers were unable to Iden tify their children. One woman took one and the other retainer two, but neither is certain she lias tbe right ones. Hysterics sod other evidences of excitement sre In order, but tbe complete identity of those children will never be established. Tbe mother of the twins will know that she has one of her children, but which one? While tbe mother of the one child will never be certalu that she hasn't one of the other woman's ba bies.
