He\nloved it from the time the bright-\ncolored lights began to appear in the\nstore windows at night, and the trees\nand bushes in the home yards began\nto be decorated with strings of colored lights too.and Christmas wreaths\nwere placed at doors and windows, and\nlittle red Christinas bells found their\nplace here and there, and holly and\nmistletoe were about.\nHo loved the Christmas carols, and\nthe good things to eat of Christmas\ntime, and especially tlie Christmas tree.\nThere was to be a big Christmas tree,\nat his house. There it stood behind\na closed door that was not to be opened\nuntil Christmas\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdif it would only snow.\nHow Alvin did wish that it would\nsnow, and snow, and snow! And sure\nenough, on the day before Christmas\nit began snowing. Some flakes began\nfalling before noon, and by the middle\nof the afternoon it was snowing fast.\nIt snowed all night.\n\"Merry   Christmas,   son!\"   shouted\nAlvin's father, and out of bed tumbled\n';hat small boy early Christmas morning.\nOh, look!\nThat closed door was, wide open, and\nthere was the Christmas tree with its\nbright ornaments, and hanging from\nits boughts, and heaped beneath it,\nwere presents , and presents, ahd presents, for everybody. Alvin even forgot\nibout the snow. '*\nBut he remembered after a while,\nand right to the window he ran. Yes\nsir! There was a good snow. The\nground was white everywhere. The\n;rees were weighted with it. There\nvas enough for snowballs and everything. Alvin could hardly wait to be\nfully dresed, and get breakfast over\nwith, and get out to play.\nBut in he dashed again almost the\nmoment he was out.\nCouldn't I fix it a Christmas tree,\n.too?\" he was saying excitedly.\nHc had found a little bird out in the\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdjold, hopping about and chirping pi-\nteously because in the snow it could\nnot find even a stray seed to eat.\nAlvin busily collected some pieces of\nbread, and a nice mellow apple, and a\npiece of meat loaf his mother said he\nmight take, and with scaps of red cord\nand bright ribbon dropped from the\nChristmas packages he tied them to a\nsnow-covered bush in a sheltered spot\nIn the back yard.\nThe little bird was shy at first, in\nspite of its hunger; but as Alvin went\non to play it began pecking at the\nfeast hung frorn^ these snow-laden\nbranches, and presentsly some other\nlittle birds came too.\nAlvin stepped softly and made signs\nto his mother as she came out in the\nyard. And there they stood together\nseveral minutes, eagerly watching the\njoyous antics with which a half dozen\nlittle birds were taking the gifts from\ntheir own little tree.\nSome Christinas History\nONE CHRISTMAS TURKEY\nWhen I came home the other evening,\" after a week,s jaunt among\nthose whom I joculary refer, to as \"our\nIt may come to many people,\" says\nSidney Heath in his book 0 on \"The\nRomance of Symbolism,\" \"even to\nthose who are aware how much is obscure in the early history of our Lord\ntQ learn that Christmas was adopted\nby the Church for the birthday of\nChrist as late as A. D. 400, for up to\nthat period the Fathers were quite\nuncertain of the exact date of the Holy\nAdvent.. S. Chrysostom writing at\" the\nbeginning of the 5th century, says\n(Horn. 31) in reference to the pagan\nfestival of the Sun-God \"On this day\nalso the birthday of Christ was lately\nfixed at Rome in order that while the\nheathen were busy with their profane\nceremonies the Christians might perform their sacred rites undisturbed.\"\nIn all countries where Christianity\nwas propagated are still to be found\nmany customs, manners and popular\nsuperstitions which reflect their pagan\norigin. The change from paganism\nto Christianity was slow and steady period of transition. In order to make\nit as easy as possible, the early Christian missionaries,'. with rare sagacity,\nadopted and used many heathen signs,\nsymbols, statues, practices and temples\nof worship and endeavoured to give\nthem a holier and purer significance\nby incorporating them into the new\nreligion.\nThe feasting and revelry attendant\non the Christmas season can be attributed to a survival of the Roman\nSaturnalia (feast of Saturn) which was\na festival held in December in celebration of the short days of the Roman\nYear.\nThe Christmas gift is supposed to\nhave its origin in ancient Yule celebrations when garlanded maidens went\nsinging from door to door \"Vaepael\"(be\nin health\") they cried, extended the\nWassail bowls of spiced ale, and received in exchange gifts of beads, and\nrurarclicnft_le7\"~I was \"greeted with a\nwhiff of such delightfully spicy and\npleasing fragance that I knew the\nsweet lady who calls me husband(she\nalso calls me other names) was again\nbusy in the kitchen ; where\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwith rosy\ncheeks, an apron around her buxom\nwaist, and one eye on the children,\n(with their capacity for mishief)\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdshe\nwas busily engaged in the compounding\nof those diversified and dubious brands\nof provender which;.our household '-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdis\nwont to consume; ih^reat quantities at\nthe annual feast' of Yewle.\nAt this particular time of the year\nthe kitchen in a great' many homes is\na scene of activity\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda place of mystery\nand enchantment. Tables are piled\nhigh with surplus groceries, and sinks\nwith soiled dishes. There is much\nhustling (,and .testing and tasting.\nWhile over all is the rich cloying\naroma,, of spices, fruit juices, wine\nWhile over all is the rish cloying\ncandied peels, boiling syrups, and\nthe other materia medica which go into\nmysteries that carry out their malevolent intentions under the nom de\nguerre of mince meat, plum pudding\nand Christmas cake. These must be\nprepared in advance, so as to be properly \"blended\" and \"aged\" before\nthey make their appearance on the\ntable. While these occupy a certain\nplace of importance in the \"good time\nfeasting\" It is the roast turkey, (with\nits partner, cranberry, jelly) that occupies the most important place.\nTo it is given our greatest reverence\nand veneration. For upon the size and\ntenderness of; this epicurean, delight\nhangs, much of the gastric contentment which follows its consumption.\nWe have been saving up for months\nnow in order to have one of these birds\nfor our Xmas dinner. Time was\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand\nnot so long ago at that\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhen, as a\nhumble printer, I could have turkey,\nnot only for Xmas but occasionally\nfor a Sunday dinner. But those days\nhave passed. With the h.c.1. and the\naltitude to which the price of turkey\nhave aeroplaned, it is only plumbers,\nbootleggers and others of fabulous and\ntaxable incomes that can afford them\nas a steady diet.\nBut high in price-though they be we\nare going to haye turkey this year\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdeven .if we have to sell our piano.\nwithout a ghost. We don't have turkey,\nfor dinner as often, as some of the\nyounger children would wish.. When-1.\ntell thena they would span ge*t tired of\nhaving: tt too\" of ten, they receive rny-\nstatement with mocking derision and\nscoffing incredulity. But twenty ye-ajs\nago we had an unholy experience with\ntoo much turkey that proves my. statement. \"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nSome time before that Christmas we\nreceived information that our wife's\nsister (accompanied by one husband\nand two children) would pay us a\nweek's visit. I was commanded by my\ngood spouse to obtain by purchase, barter, barratry or other means, the largest turkey in captifity. As I was\nshortly going on a week's jaunt among\nsome of the smaller towns in Ontario,\nI figured that there I might have better chances of getting a big bird than\nin the city . I landed a choice one of\n23 pounds, two days before the trip\nended. For the balance of that week\nit was my close companion and constant care, and I gave it as much tender consideration as an old maid with\nher first love affair.\nOn my arrival home about dusk I was\nconfronted with an ominous red card\nfastened on the front door, \"Scarlet\nFever Here.\" Our youngest daughter\n(at that time aged four) had contracted the disease and was quarantined\nin the house . The festivities to which\nwe had all so eagerly looked forward to\nwere all shot ^'blooey.\" There was no\naltehative but to wire the folks to\npostponed their visit and make the best\nof our misfortune.\nBut we were not through.our troubles\nfor -that turkey had to be cooked and\neaten. There was no cook, as \"Mum\"\nwas also quarantined. As I had no\nprevious culinary experience the Job\nwas tackled with misgivings. When\nit was finished I was a wreck of my\nformer virile self, the air was blue,\nthick and sulphurous, and I had ruined\nmy standing in the church circles. My\nwife had fled, shrieking, to the topmost\nfloor, and the children crouched In\nterror beneath the table. The kitchen\nlooked as though it had been hit by\na tidal wave, and there was enough\nfag-end crusts, of bread scattered about\nto ^nake bread puddings for a camp\nof'lumber-jacks for a month. It was\nthe' worst job I ever tackled, and I\nshudder yet when I think of the\nquantity of building material that wae\ndumped into the cavernous depths of\nthat gargantuan bird.\nWith \"Mum\" sarcastically calling\nout instructins from upstairs, it was\nfinally \"made ready\" and shoved into\nthe oven of a coal range. At the cost\nof a ruffled temper, the use of a few\nof burns from hot grease, it waa finally barbecued and dragged in\ntriumph onto the table. It tasted fine\nthen and wasn't too bad cold for the\nnext three br four days\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbut after \"that\nwe all turned in nauseous disgust from\nits cold carcass. A twenty-three pound\nbird, believe me, is some eating for four\npersons (twoof them young children).\nIn desperation the half-devoured remains were finally hurled into the garbage can with a few parting words\n(not of prayer), and we thankfully\nturned to more simple fare. Turkey i6\nall right once in a while, but-for a\nsteady diet, Jiggs' choice is to be commended. ..<>\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nGetting back to more sensible things,\nI love Christmas time and all that it\nmeans.

WALTERS,       J\nReturning Officer.\nThe fourth of the five 10,000 ton cargo steamers under construction in the\nOld Country for the Atlantic service ofthe Canadian Pacific was launched\nrecently^from the yards of Messrs. Barclay, Curie and Co., Glasgow. With\nappropriate ceremonies and in the presence of a large gathering of Canadian\nPacific Officials, the new ship was christened the \"Beaverhill\" by Miss Mavis\nGillies, (inset)* daughter of Captain James Gillies, general manager of the\nCanadian Pacific Steamships Ltd.\nWhen these new steamers are delivered, the Canadian Pacific cargo\nfleet will be augmented by five of the highest type of express cargo steamers\nand capable of maintaining a speed of 14 knots an hour, which is regarded as\nexceptional for cargo steamers. The marked growth of Ocean trade between\nGreat Britain and Canada via the St. Lawrence route, has prompted the\nCanadian Pacific to augment their freight service to this extent. These vessels\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwill be used to maintain a weekly service between Canadian ports and those in\nGreat Britain and on the Continent.\nThe new freighter, like her sister ships the Beaverburn, Beaverdale,\nBeaverford and Beaverbrae, is 520 feet in length 61 and a half feet in width\nwith a deadweight carrying capacity of approximately 10,000 tons and load\ndraft, of 27 feet; but should a need arise as much as 13,000 tons maybe carried\non the maximum load draft. The ships will be driven by twin screw.
