says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like anew woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, 1 do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.

AI.THOUGIS many of the old cus
toms have been dropped and al
most forgotten* New Year's
parties are not out of date. A
nice one Is a pantomime of an-encliant
ed girl.
A damp sheet must be fastened up
across the room or between the folding,
doors of the parlor. First fasten the
corners of the sheet, next the center of
each of the four sides in order that the
cloth may be perfectly smooth; then
place a lighted candle on the floor
about four or five feet from the cen
ter of the curtain. When the lights in
the room occupied by the company are
turned out shadow’s of the actors be
hind the curtain may be seen on the
screen, some one, standing outside the
curtain and facing the audience, should
relate the story of the play—of how’ a
young girl while walking out on the
last day of October meets Halloween,
who presents her with three gifts to
try her fortune, and how, when she is
abput to do so, a witch enchants her,
etc. After the story Is finished and a
lively overture has been performed on
some musical instrument the panto
mime la played as follows;
Halloween Appeare.
The young girl personating the en
chanted one comes gayly forward from
the side. When almost across the cur
tain she meets Halloween, who ap
proaches from the opposite side, ar
rayed in a short dress, with wings
made of newspaper folded fan fash
ion and fastened on the shoulders.
In her hand she carries a cane w r ith a
silhouette of a cat or two or three
stars and a orescent cut of stiff brown
paper and pasted on the end.
Halloween show’s the maiden’ three
gifts—an apple, a hand mirror and an
unlighted candle. Instead of the mir
r<lr a htystn'l hall may be used.
Seeking the Future In the Crystal Ball.
Before presenting them she illus
trates by gestures the use to be made
of each.’ Holding the mirror or globe
in front of her face, she bites the ap
ple, then looks quickly around, as if
expecting to see some one, and, again
holding up the mirror or globe in one
hand and the candle in the other, she
takes a few steps backward. When a
boy or young man enters by jumping
over the light, which gives the ap
pearance of his having fallen from
the sky, Halloween looks around, and
the boy or man quickly disappears.
All this time the girl stands trans
fixed with her hands raised and all the
fingers spread out in astonishment.
She receives the presents, which are
given with many nods and gestures.
The Old Witch Enters.
As the maiden then takes up the
apple and mirror or globe her hand is
stayed by a witch with flowing hair,
who has approached unperceived, car
rying under one arm a broom and
wearing on her head an ordinary hat
with a piece of newspaper rolled up
and pinned on to form a peaked crown.
The poor girl looks anxiously around
and discovers she has been enchanted,
for there are three girls Instead of one.
This effect is produced by two more
lighted candles being placed on the
floor on either side of the first, candle.
The candles are removed, and the Old
Year, an old man, instantly appears.
Discovering him quickly, the gfri runs
forward to tell her sorrows and finds
that it is only when alone that she is
enchanted, for when she attempts to
point out her other selves they have
disappeared. Making many__gueeses,
she looks here and there for them, but
in vain. Then as the Old Year leaves
she bids him a sorrowful adieu.
The Little New Year.
Immediately little New Year enters,
crowned with a paper star and wear
ing wings of paper. The young girl
rushes to meet the New Year with a
hearty greeting. She then tells him
of her enchantment and kneels down,
and the little New Year raises both
hands above her head, then, kissing
his hand to the maiden, departs,—Nel

Christmas Legend *
Hie legend of St. Boniface
and the first Christmas tree has <
been beautifully told. The <
scene lives before us—the win- <
try night, the swelling hillock ;
crowned with the great oak ;
tree, the “thunder oak,” sacred ;
to the pagan god Thor; the <
tongues of ruddy -flame, the .
ranks of white clad warriors,
..women and children facing the
altar; the hoary high priest
and kneeling child, the victim
doomed to die by the blow of
the hammer, a s -sacrifice to
Thor, the hammerer.
Then the coming of Boni
face, the blow from the ham
mer turned aside by the cross,
the rescue of the boy, the fall
of the oak beneath the mighty
blows of, the apostle, the story
of Jesus simply told and how
sin, not human life, is the sac
rifice he asks.
“And here,” said the apos
; tie as his eyes fell on a young
; fir tree, with its top pointing
> toward the stars, amid the
> divided oak—“here is the liv
> ing tree, with no stain of blood
> upon it, that shall be the sign
l of your new worship.”—Parish

Christmas
i
OUR word Santa Claus is a cor
ruption of the Dutch San Nlc
„ olas, and the story of the
origiual saint frqm whom the
1 name and the custom come is told
in the Encyclopedia Britannica as fol
lows: “St. Nicholas, bishop of Myra,
in Lycia, a saint honored by the Greeks
and the Latins on Dec. 6.
“His cult is as celebrated as his his
tory is obscure. All the accounts that
have conic 1 down to us are of a purely
legendary character, and it is impossi
ble to find any single incident confirm
ed historically.
“The main facts of his life are usual
ly given as follows: He was bishop of
Myra at the time of the Emperor Dio
cletian, was persecuted, tortured for
the faith and kept In prison until the
more tolerant reign of Constantine and
was present at the council of Nicaea.
“It should be observed that this last
circumstance is ignored by all histo
rian" and that St. Athanasius, who
knew all the notable bishops of the
period, never mentions Nicholas, bish
op of Myra. The oldest known monu
ment of the cult of St. Nicholas seems
to be the Church of Sts. Priscus and
Nicholas built at Constantinople by
the Emperor Justinian. In the west
the name of St. Nicholas appears in
the ninth century records of the mar
tyrs, and churches dedicated to him
are to be found at the beginning of the
eleventh century. It is more especial
ly, however, from the time of the re
moval of his body to Bari, In Apulia,
that his cult became popular.
“The inhabitants of Bari organized
•an expedition, seized his remains by
means of a ruse and transported them
to Bari, where they were received in
triumph on the 9tli of May, 1087, and
where the foundations were laid for a
new basilica In his honor. This was
the origin of a famous and still popu
lar pilgrimage. There are nearly 400
churches In England dedicated to St.
Nicholas. lie is the patron saint of
Russia, the special protector of chil
dren, scholars, merchants and sailors.
“In art St. Nicholas is represented
with various attributes, being most
commonly depicted with three chil
dren standing in a tub by his side. Of
the various interpretations-of this none
is absolutely certain.
“One explanation has been sought in
the legend of St. Nicholas miraculously
restoring to life three rich youths who
had been murdered, cut up and con
cealed in a salting tub by a thievish
innkeeper or butcher in whose house
they had taken lodging.
“A legend of his surreptitious be-
stowal of dowries upon the three
daughters of an impoverished citizen
who, unable to procure fit marriages
for them, was about to sell them Is
said to have originated the old custom
of giving presents iu secret on the eve
of St. Nicholas, subsequently trans
ferred to Christmas day.
“Hence the association of Christmas
with ‘Santa Claus.’ an American cor
ruption of the Dutch form ‘San Nlco
laas,‘ the custom being brought to
America by the early Dutch colonists."

Where Bayberry Candles Come From. ;
It was the women of Hingham, that
quaint old Massachusetts town, that
first brought down from their attics
their grandmothers’ old candle mol ls
| and began making the sweet smelling
j green bayberry candles for a few ap
i preciatlve people who wanted them to
! burn in homes furnished in antiques.
The women of charming old Deerfield,
In the same state, shortly followed suit,
and then the housewives of Cape Cod
saw their opportunity, all of them us
ing the molds that had been In the
for generations.
Holiday Season Plants.
Among the red berried plants the
most beautiful of all ure the holly
trees and auettbas from Holland;
shapely ardisins. brilliant fruited
Christmas peppers, the old time favor
ite Jerusalem cherry trees, otaheite
orange, ponderosa lemon treeh, with
their larger fruits of dark and light
yellow, and those pretty little trailing
plants, the partridge berries, grown in
gloss berry bowls, raised In America.
