Christmas in Hawaii.

Before the missionaries and the Amer
lean settlers went to Hawaii, the natives
knew nothing about Christmas, but now
they all celebrate the day, and do it, Of
course, in the same way as the Ameri-
cans who live there. The main differ
ence between Christmas in Honolulu and
Christmas in New York is that in Hon
olulu in December the weather is like
June in New York. Birds are warbling
in the leafy trees; gardens are overflow
ing with roses and carnations; fields and
mountain slopes are ablaze with color;
ard sunny sky smiles dreamily upon
the glories of summer day. In the
morning people go to church, and during
the day there are sports and games and
merrymaking of all sorts. The Christ
mas dinner is eaten out of doors in the
shade Of the yeranda, and everybody is
happy and contented.-St. Nicholas.

MlSTLETOE.
Always Sought by Druids During the
Full Moon.

IA W ~ oOu&ht NY INC
Full Moon.
The Druids always sought the mistle-
toe by the full moon, and when they
found 1T rejoiced and worshiped.. After
cutting off it's twigs with a golden sickle
they sacrificed two milk-white bulls be-
meath the tree. The sacred shrub was
then immersed in water, and the result
ing concoction became their remedy for
all diseases. The early Christians would
not permit the use of the mistletoe in
their churches because Of it's heathcnish
origin. Consequently it was hung only
within the private abode, and usually in
the kitchen. Any maid caught standing
beneath. a branch had to forfeit a kiss to
the gallant eagerly awaiting his oppo--
tunity. With each kiss a berry was
plucked, and when all of the berries dis
appeared the bare branch was useless to
the young man who wished to claim
the privilege of thus saluting the fair
damsel thereafter. The mistletoe was
said to have been the original magical
shrub or forbidden tree in the Garden
of Eden.

is curious to note that Professor Browne finds
the Ayesta dry, stale and Improbable for the
ordinary reader of average curiosity and intelli-
gence" and states that in his opinion it is very
doubtful whether a translation could be made
which would induce the average reader to
peruse it from cover to cover In this respect
the Ayesta differs greatly from the Koran,
those who have read that MahOmetan Bible
can testify
The results of the introduction of the Koran
into Persia are implied rather than directly ex-
pressed but the implication is very strong AS
a matter of fact Professor Browne has. in our
oDinion done his best work in the study of the
religious and philosophical tendencies of the
various Persian and Islam sects notably the
Khariiites, the Shiites the Murjiya and the
Mutazila. He shows among other things to how
great an extent Persian philosophy has been af-
fected by Grecan. notably Neo-Platonism. which
influenced the later mysticism, the doctrines of
the Sufs in way that is but now beginning to
be recognized. Professor Browne claiming that
the origin of the Sufi teachings may be traced
to the Sasanian period. Whether other students
of Persian philosophy will accept this is moot
question but the author has at least made
striking suggestion. AS regards Sufiism itself
we are treated to exhaustive analysis Of it.
the authors efforts being to show that this most
important of Islam philosophical systems was
very little Influenced by Indian speculations
particularly those of the Vedanta schools. and
that what il did borrow was. has just been
said. from Neo-Platonism rather than from We
dantism or Buddhism. The point is an impor-
tant one in that if Professor Browne is correct
it will go far to injure the cause of the Indian
lists who are inclined to trace everything Per
