The MiStletOe,

The mistletoe grows as parasite on
both deciduous and evergreen trees and
shrubs, but mainly on the poplar, the
hawthorn, the pear and the apple tree,
most often on the latter. 1t las a little
yellowish flower which can hardly be
seen, at the base of the leaves, and the
white berries or fruit do not appear till
the fourth year, while the plants are
not usually cut before the fifth or sixth
year.
Among the ancient Druids the mistie-
toe was object of specia veneration, but
only when it grew upon an oak, and
this led the priests, SO it is said, 10 prac-
tlce little deception on the people and
transplant the nist!etoe from the apple
trees to the oaks. Whether this be
, true or not, they always had apple or
chards near their oak groves and the
apple was held next sacred to the oak.
The mstletoe was gathered up with
great ceremony by the Druds during
the European festival period, about the
time of the winter solstice. Five days
alter the new moon a grand procession
was formed. First came the bards,
then herald, who bore the cutting i'm
plements usually described AS a golden
scythe, though sometimes as a reapiug
hook Of the same metal, or even a COL
don knife blade or Ratchet attached to
shaft. The priests came next, with
the Prince o. Druids in their wake. All
were clad in white. Then followed the
people, male and female.
When the oak was reached on Inch
the mlstletoe grew, two white bulls
| were bound to the tree, and the prince,
taking the knife from the herald
climbed up the tree and cut the mistle-
toe, which was caught in white mantle
held by the inferior priests. The bulls,
and sometimes even human victims,
were then sacrificed.
The mistletoe thus gathered was d.
ylded into small portions and distributed
on the first day of the new year to the
people, amid cries of The mistletoe for
the new year, In their turn they
hung up the sprays over the entrances
to their houses, as Precipitation and an
offer to shelter to the sylvan deties dur
ing the season Of frost and cold.
In Scandinavian mythology the mis-
| tletoe figures as the material of the ar
row with which Baldur, the sun god
Was slain. And this is the story. When
Baldur was born, his mother, Frigga, in
yokeu all the elements, all animals and
| al plants. and obtained an oath from all
| that they would do Baldur no hurt One
| plant only she forgot on account of its
! signItlcance-lhe parasitic mistletoe
among the combais of the gods, ali
! weapons glanced harmlesslv away from
| him and all the powers OF nature proved
| innocuous. But Loki, his enemy, de-
| termined to learn the secret of his in
vulnerabiity. Dressing himself up as
| an Old woman, he wheedled the secret
out Of Frigga, including the fact that
| mlstietoe had been overlooked. Then
| Loki made an arrow of mistletoe wood.
| Entering the assembly of the gods, he
Eaid to the blind Holder: "Why do you
not contend with the arrows of Baldur?"
Il am blind and haye no arms" re-
turned Holder. Then Loki presented
| him with the arrow and said: ''Beldur
is before the Holder shot and Baldur
| fell dead.

The Population of Russia.

By the last census the population Of
Russia is shown to be l29, Pol L IA, of
whom "a, 1850 live in European Rus
sia. The density Of the population in
European Russia is 222 persons to the
square verst (roughly speaking about
throe-fitths of a mile). In European
Russia there are I62 females to 100
males; in the Polish provinces $50 fe
males TO 100 males; III Siberia G3.1 fe-
males
There are nineteen cities with 4 popu
la,ion of more than 100000 souls and
thirty-tive with a population of from
80, coo to 100, 900. The returns show that
the Russian cities present a fine field for
narriaSeable women, since in al but
fifteen cities the men outnumber the
women. In khabarovsk there are only
27.9 females to 100 males; in kars 44.3.
DR.. Dillon remarks that he knows ''sOme
little towns in the Caucasus in which a
marriagcabie young lady scarcely ever
sojourns for longer than four or five
weeks before she finds a partner for
Ii :"
The census has brought out some mel
ancholy facts as we'll as emphasized
some facts that were well known before
the census was taken. Great as the
growth OF Russia has been, it has been
small compared with what ii would be
under proper sanitary regulations. A
Russian statistician calculates that Rus
sia loses, in consequence Of lnsanltary
conditions, 1000 deaths, nine pcrsons
more than Germany, twelve more than
France, fifteen more than England and
eighteen more than Sweden, About
500, 900 persons die every year who
might be preserved to the empire with
a little care. Infectious diseases are
more commonly fatal in Rus sia than in
any other country in the world, while
the number of cripples and incapaci
tated persons is enormous. In Euro
pean Russia there are twenty-one
hliud persons for every 10000 of popu-
lation four times more than in the
United States.
But in spite of these checks upon
growth DR.. Dillon says that the popula-
ton of Russia in 20 years will be 49,
0GO,00O even supposins sanitary condl-
lions are not corrected. These figures"
he adds, will perhaps convey an idea
of what Russian politicians mean when
they affirm that their country can well
afford to await further developments,
seeing that it has time on its side.
