MIstletoe at ChrIstmas-tlde,

The hanging of the mistletoe s
a cause of much frolic and laugh
ter in the house. 1t is the rule that
whoever Is caught passing under the
mIstletoe bough must submit 10 be-
ing kissed then and there by whose
ever chooses To take that liberty.
A bough usually bangs from the
center OF the ceiling, spreading over
large space, it follows That there
must be mu Oh dodging or much kiss
ing; | am inclined to think there are
both.
The origin of this use of The mistle.
toe is not known but we do know
that more than eighteen hundred
years ago, when the glad stars sang
together over the manger in Bethle-
hem, and wise men brought gifts of
gold, frankincepse, myrrb to a young
child in the peasant mothers arms,
England was chill, mist. covered
island, inhabited only by savages,
who wore garments of skins and
lived ia huts of mud aud stone.
Among these savage Britons there
were pagan priests called Druids.
These priests were mysterious
folk, who lived 10 dense woods far
away from other men, and who, in
the gloomy solitude of the forest,
performed strange secret ceremonies.
The 'sacred groves" as they were
called. were OF oak; for the oak was
a divine tree, according to the
Druidicsl religion. Within these
sacred groves the priests, it is re-
corded in history, offered the sacri-
fees, and in some manner, not now
known, they employed the mistletoe.
But all mistletoe was not sacred to
the Druids. They would have none
but that which chung to the trunk
and was pourished by the sap of the
divine oak. To them the spple-tree
mistIetoe. which modern England
uses SO freely in her holiday festivi-
ties. would be worthless and COM
mon thing.
When, in latter centuries, England
was taught the Christian religion by
priests who went thither from Rome
tho people, though protesting g be-
lief in Christ, retained many of their
heather rites and customs chang
ed from their original mean
ing and purpose At any rate, from
the Druids has come the modern
usage of the mistletoe bougb,
strangely preserved in festivities OF
