Half Il dozen varieties grow in this coun-
try, but as they are not marked by the
same pecularities as their foreign rela-
tives. they arc called by different name,
though they all belong to the same family
Some varieties have very SNOWY flowers.
The modest. though widely known. lit
tie shrub we call the mistletoe grows
mostly in Normandy. border portion of
France, upon the trees Of the extensive
apple orchards. In the cider districts it
is looked upon as a great pest, fer, once
established. it draws the slstenance as
long rs there is any life in its host. 1t is
succulent when young, but becomes
woody as it grows older. 1t often at
taches itself, too, to the oak. and then is
supposed by the peasants to possess mag
zeal power and to bcstow wonderful
strength.
The mistlctoc does not grow in Ireland
or Scotland or the north of England. and
often there young apple trees with the
queer little plant grated and growing
upon them are sold rs a curiosity, Il freak
of nature, to turn an honest tor dishon-
esU penny"
In oldcn times the mistetoe was called
All-hcal. The tree upon which it grew
was believed to he chosen of God, was
looked upon with veneration and awe
and the curious little plant was consider
ed an antidote to all diseases. Even al
the present day in Sweden all ailments
are believed to be warded off by wearing
ring made Of its wood.
The berries of the mistletoe are of q
creamy white, about the size of small cur
rants, and grow in clusters in the divis
ions of the little branches. The leaves
are long, ovate, waxy and of delicate
green, often almost yellow.
Birds are very fond Of the berries, and
by them the seeds are carried from place
to place, and thus the plant is propagate
ed. The berries contain a thick, viscous
fluid; they burst open when ripe, and SC
they aadDp adhere to the trees and

nv : hicago wheat market is in an
unusual condition. During last week
december wheat sold at premium of

win such premiums is it a wonder
that men like Armour and Weare
should take the risk of selling Decem.

northwest when the cost of getting it
here from Minneapolis by rail is not
over &c to &c? They not only get the
profit in the difference. but also RIM
'he RISK OF the bulls changing their
minds and leaving the wheat here. or
at least good part of the +. 900. GOO
bushels that will be here by the end of
the month. They know that there isa
good prospect OF large milling demand
before another crop is harvested. This
Will give them chance to secure fancy
premiums for all the good milling
wheat they may have on hand the same
as last spring In addition thew get
the storage. They believe in merchan.
dlsing wheat the same as any other ar
tlcle, and when profit presents itself
they are not slow to get into the ter.
ritory tributary to other markets and
take the wheat away from them. There
never has been such a chance in years
and they have taken advantage of it
and run the risk of the wheat grading.
Not only has the bulge brought in free
offerings from the Northwest, where
over 900, 900 bushels have been bought
within week, but it has stimulated
holders in the winter wheat country
to send their wheat wheat here. The
bowling about the grading made them
tmid about risking December sales,
and last week brought out offers of
more wheat than was supposed to be
in the country.
This will place a larger quantity in
the visible supply and give the
bulls chance to see what there actual
ly is and enable them to make better
plans for the future.
