How the MlstIetOe Comes to he.
The story Of how the mistletoe gets
on the trees IL most interesting one.
Covering the mistletoe twigs are pearly
white berries. These come In the win
ter season, when food Is comparatively
scarce, and hence some OF our birds
eat them freely. Now, when n robin
eats a cherry he swallows simply tho
meat and tllps the stone away The
seed of the mistletoc the bird cannot
dip. 1t IL sticky and holds to his bill.
His only resource Is to wipe 1t Off, and
he does so, leaving 1t sticking to the
branches OF the tree on which he liz
sitting at the time.
This seed sprouts after time, and.
not finding earth-whlch, indeed, Its
ancestral habit has made 1t cease want
ing-it sinks Its roots into the bark OF
the tree and hunts there for the pipes
Tint carry the sap. Now, the sap In
the bark IL the very richest In the tree.
far richer than that In the wood, and
the mlstletoe gets from Its host tho
choicest of food. With strange fore
sight II does not throw Its leaves away,
as do most parasites, but keeps them
to use In winter, when the tree is leaf
less. - Professor s. @. Schumacher In

Mayor Low yesterday sent to Governor Odeii MS
approval of the bill providing for pension funo
for the supervising officers and teachers OF the
City College. The amount to be set aside each year
is 1 per cent of the excise fund. or about s'"'o"-

Mayor Low thinks that after few years 10000

and that 1t would be much better to set aside the
amount from the excise fund year by year. rather
than to provide it by the interest of large re-

SCHOOL AND HOME.
THEIR RELATION TO EACH OTHER, AS
DEFINED BY THE REV. ANNA
G. SPENCER
G.. SPENCER.

The public scbo is the unifying influence
Of the nation bringing together all its diverse ele-
ments in one common interest said the Rev
Anna Garlin Spencer In her lecture The Home
and the School: Where Do They Join?" before the
women's conference Of the Society for Ethical
Culture. the meeting yesterday.
If the best Of society is not represented there,
the schools VIII reach the best Of their posi-
bilities sharp dernareation of classes is fatal
TO the whole system. That is shown in parts of
the South where I have seen schools so poor ana
dead as TO be absolutely worthless, because attend
ed only by those who could not possibly get the
money to go to the cheapest of private schools IL
is harmful and not alone to the class thus set
apart as a lower The worst thing that a
person can learn is to think himself TO nave peeh
born better than others"
Mrs Spencer spoke of the growth Of the mothers
clubs In connection with schools as most en-
couraging thing because they bring mothers OF
MANY social grades together a common basis.
.-rhe settlement does much good" she said. but
It is after all, artificial relation The basis
OF meeting between mothers whose children are IN
the same school is. on the contrary, absolutely
natural and unconstrained, and can be made a far
closer bond than any association in the settlement
THE real mission of the schools although one
rot vet realized is to bring the homes OF the city
10 something nearer level in ethical STANDARDS
What can the school give that vii have TINS uig
