The ntiatlntoe.

There are some pretty traditions con-
nected with the use Of the mist!esoe at
this season of the year that date back to
the ancient celebrations. The ancient
Britons worshiped the god Tutanes, the
god of the sun. OF course the winter
solstice, or the turning point Of the sun
in its course, the change from decreasing
to increasing length of days, was an oc-
casion for rejoicing among that people,
Their customs, practiced by the Druid
priests, were therefore appropriate. They
went out at this season Of the year to-
gather the revered mistletoe and 1t Isl
significant that they cared for none but
that which grew upon the trunk Of an oak:
tree which was sacred to the sun god.
Two white bullocks were led out andt
tied to the oak tree upon which the plant
was found. When the mistletoe had been
detached by the priests the bullocks were
sacrificed. The mistletoe was hung up
above the doors of the houses to insure
good luck for the year that was about to
begin. In Normandy the plants are still
gathered in great quantities and shipped
to England and America for what pur-
poses we we'll know. The hanging up
Of the mistletoe seems to reflect some
what the custom OF the Druids and the
Britons of centuries ago.

How the Queen of Holland Met and

How the Queen of Holland Met and
Won Her Finnce.
Some interesting particulars Of Queen
Wilhelmina' courtship and betrothal
are supplied by the Paris correspond
ent of the London News. Although the
Queen of the Netherlands made the ac-
quainfance of the Grand Ducal family
at Cannes, she did not, 1t appears, see
her betrothed till she went last year to
Berlin. She had heard good deal
about him from his sister-in-law, the
Princess John, nee Sake Weimar, and
daughter of the late Princess Pauline
of the Netherlands, Duchess of Sake
Weimar. The moment the Queen and
Prince Henry saw each other they were
mutually impressed, and SO strongly
that the Queen would hear of no other
sutton. She pleaded "a cold" rs ex-
cnse for not attending q dinner where
she was to pass in review n number of
aspirants. The Queen mother, seeing
this, prudently curtailed the visit to
Berlin. Inquiries were in due course
set on foot about Prince Henry. All
the reports received about him We're
favorable, and the Queen arranged to
hive opportunities to become better ac-
quainted with him. Instead of coming
to the Exposition, she planned an ex-
cursion to Schwarzburg. Rooms were
taken at an hotel in picturesque site
for the Queen, her mother and the Dow.
ager Duchess, who was asked to be
their guest.
Prince Henry was not disinclined to
fall in with the little plan. He obtained
a furlough to come to see his mother.
He got up excursions to the show
places in the principality, and accom-
panied the two queens in their walks,
rides and drives. She was supremacy
happy in his company, and was sorry
when 1t was time for the party to break
up. AS she was leaving. she said to
the Prince: "What happy tour! !
never spent such n happy time in my
life, and feel owe SO much to YOU
Correspondence followed, and one fine
morning the Prime Minister was sum
moued by the Queen to Loo. She lost
no time in informing him that she was
engaged, aud to whom. She said she
hoped the Council would give its con-
sent to the marriage she had decided
upon. The Prince of Mecklenburg be-
longed to the Oldest house in Germany,
its international situation was high, ii
played no part in European politics,
Prince Henry could play no part in
German politics. his career had been
highly honorable, and he was beloved
in his own family circle. when you
see him." added the Queen, you will,
am sure, be of the opinion that could
not make a better choice, whether for
myself or my people,"

Luke was left to himself. After a
while he fell asleep. He dreamed that
he was in a strange country-strange but
beautiful. The sky was deep blue, I'M
checkered by cloud. All ut once there
came gliding towards the dreamer, from
cluster Of magnolias, an old man, with
two fairy children. AS they drew nearer
he recognized with awe the features of
his father and of the two young children,
his own, whose ashes lay in the old
churchyard. They saw hinl-they turned
their glorious faces towards him. Then
in an agony of affection the poor man
was rushing forward to clasp them in his
arms; but he had no power over his
limbs; his feet seemed rooted. And al

ear, Luke Bridgely, art thou worthy tc

Mexico buys more American books
than does France, and nearly as many
as Germany. Much of this trade is due
to the large resident American popula-
ton to be found in Mexican cities and
to the demand from mining camps
where Americans are living, and not a
little is. due to the growing spread of
English among the Mexican people.
There is strong tendency in favor of
popularizing the English language, and
the learners of that tongue comprise
professional men in middle life as we'll
us thousands of youth. Some large in
situations of learning have put English
ahead of FreAch.
