BERKELEY, Dec. 9.-The football
season is at an end so far as the Ber-
kelley team is concerned. This was
brought about to-day when President
Wheeler decided not to allow Captain
Whipple to play in the proposed game
on Christmas Day. Manager I. J.
Muma of the Berkeley team had hoped
to be able to arrange game with either
the University of Chicago or the In
dams Of Carlisle. Had the team been
kept together a trip would have been
taken to Portland to play the Multno-
nah team, or to Southern California,
where the College Of Pomona eleven
would have been met.

Threshing WatermeIons,

This is the banner watermelon year
of the West. The sandhills Of the
prairieS, and even the plains Of the
short-grass country, are producing the
most magnificent, luscious melons ever
known there. The farmers are at a
loss how to dispose of them, as the
shippers cannot find a market for the
abundant supply. To utilize them there
has been constructed a novel machine
for threshing the melons and securing
from them the seeds, which bring a
high price at the various seedhouses.
The machine has a large cylinder, from
which strong spikes project. The melons
have been cut open the previous day.
so that they are soft, and as they are
thrown into the hopper they break into
pieces. The cylinder grinds them into
a pulp, and as this substance is worked
along a sieve the seeds fall through.
with a little pulp attached to them.
They are then shoveled into a large vat,
water added, and the whole fernents.
When this has taken place the seeds
are found at the bottom OF the vat.
and are taken out and dried for ship

Yuletide Customs,

The use of evergreens at Christmas
comes from the Romans, who thus or
namented their temples during the feast
of Saturn, while ivy was universally
used in feasts in honor of Bacchus. The
ancient Druids hung green branches
and miStletoe over their doors as q
Precipitation to woodland sprites; they
used also to cut green trees and carry
them into their houses to protect the
spirits of the forest and streams from
the death dealing Winds thinking the
spirits. thus protected, would go forth
in the spring to reclothe the forests
with beautiful foliage and unlock the
ice bound streams. A survival of this
superstition was found among the Eng
lish peasantry not more than 200 years
ago. They hung evergreens in their cot
tages in the belief that they would at
tract spriteS, and that the boughS
would remain unnipped by the frosts
and furnish a shelter for the woodland
deities. STANDARD trees in the city
were originally mailed fule of holme
and IVY showing that the external as
pect of Christmastide was a public
concern in the days of our ancestors.
AS mistletoe and holly are our prin-
know the origin of their use and their
supposed power. The Druids at Yule-
tide used to cut the mistletoe to place
upon their affairs with elaborate cere-
monies. Their name for it was all-heal
or all-healing. There was a large pro-
cession, headed by the Druidical priests,
with bards singing canticles and hymns;
then a herald preceded three Druids,
the sacred plant; then the prince or
chief of the Druids, accompanied by all
his followers. The chief mounted the
oak and with a golden knife detached
the mistletoe and presented it to the
priest, who received and bore away the
branches with great reverence. Two
white bulls were sacrificed during the
rite. On the first day of the new year,
the branches, after resting on the al
tars in the interval, were distributed
among the people as a sacred and holy
plant, the Druid priest crying, 1.-THE
mistletoe for the New Year Just
when the mistletoe became known as
the kissing bush" is not known.
Many English girls believe that they
will not be welded inside of twelve
months unless they have at least one
kiss under the mistletoe. In many
countries a berry is plucked from the
mistletoe with each kiss, and when
there are no berries no kisses are al
lowed. Mistletoe used to be considered
a charm or amulet to ward off the bale
full influence of witches. 1t was also
considered that it's influence was ire
sistible, that no one could POSSIBLY pass
beneath it without yielding to its
power, and hence both matron and maid
must submit to the salutation which
has since become customary-Self Gull
