When the child of Nazareth was
born the sun. according to the Bosnian
legend, "leaped in the heavens and
the stars around it danced. A peace
e?rae over mountain and forest. Even
the rotten stump stood straight and
reaUhy on the green hillside. The
grass was beflowered with open bios
sera?. Incense sweet as myrrh pervad
ed upland and forest, birds sanr oa
the mountain top and all gave thanks
to the great God."
It is nausrht but an old-folk tale, but
it has truth hidden at its heart, for a
strange, subtle force, a spirit of gen
ial good will, a new-born kindness,
seem to animate child and man alike
v. ben the world rays its tribute to the
"heaven-sent vour.fi in 5, as the poet.
Drummond. calls the infant Christ.
When the three wise men rode from
the east into the west on their saddle-bows
were three caskets filled with
gold and frankincense and myrrh, to
be laid at the feet of the manger
cradled babe of Bethlehem, Begin
ning with this old. old Journey the
spirit of giving crept into the world's
heart. As the mas3 came bearing
gifts, so do we also; gifts that re
lieve want, gifts that are sweet and
fragrant with friendship, gifts that
breathe love, gifts that mean service,

shone over the City of David 2.000
years ago.
Then hang the green coronet of the
Christmas tree with glittering baubles
and jewels of fames; heap offerings
on Its emerald branches; bring Yule
logs to the firms; deck the house with
holly and mistletoe,
"And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day In the morning."

Poultry culling demonstrations
have been held in Lowelu Browning

We are glad to see Orleans county
represented at the last butter scoring
at the university. Alex Shields of
North Craftsbury took first prize in
the dairy class, scoring 91. This
butter scoring gives contestants an
excellent opportunity to have their
product criticized by experts and al
so to know the moisture contents.

that a salesman of this company was
operating in his community selling
Higbie's Prize Winner Oats' at
$2.75 per bushel. Some of us would

It is best to place all the larger

the smaller gifts which are tied up in
bright-colored paper to the branches.
In this way the tree will not look
frayed and denuded when the gifts are

USE OF EVERGREENS.
The use of evergreens at Christmas
time Is older than the Christmas tree,
the Christians seeming to have copied
it from their pagan ancestors. In a
very old book we find this reference to
the use of evergreens at Christmas
time : "Against tne least or ennsx-
mas every man's house, as also their
parish churches, were decked with
holme, ivy, bayes, and whatsoever the
season of the year aHorded to be
green. The conduits and standards of
the streets were likewise garnished ;
among which I read that In the
year 1414. by tempest of thunder and
lightning, toward the morning of Can
dlemas day, at the LeadenhalL In
ComhilL a standard of tree, being set
up In the midst f the pavement, fast
In the ground, nailed full -of holme and
tHy. for disport of Christmas to the
people, was torn up and cast down by
the malignant spirit (as v. as thought),
and the stones of the pavement all
about were cast In the streets and Into
divers houses, so that the people were
sore aghast at the great tempest."
