The Mystic Mistletoe.

For many generations after the last
Druid was dust the mistletoe had It's
votaries. The plant had almost every
medical property, according to early
physicians. 1t was believed to be a
remedy for all ills, physical, mental
and sentimental. In pagan DAYS n
was dedicated to 0lwen, the Celtic
Venus. and through the ages the plant
and the tender passion were rather
intimately entwined, says the Cincin.

gan 30 far back in history that no one
has ever attempted to trace the Gus

BENEATH Ire mi6TLETOE.
Origin of One Of the Happiest Customs
of Christmas LAY Is Traced
Back to "Conqueror."

The origin of one of the happiest GUS
toms of Christmas, which has been al
lowed to lapse with the passing years
that of kissing under the mistletoe is
traced back to the coming over of the
conquerOr." Washington Irving re-
minded US that the mistletoe is still
hung up in farmhouses and kitchens all
over England; land the young men
have the privilege of kissing the girls
under it, plucking each time a berry
from the bush. When the berries are
all plucked the privilege ceases" At
one time, it is said. the youth could
claim kiss for each berry he picked,
but unless there were a great many
berries and very few pretty maids such
q liberty would have to be used with
moderation. Mares says that the
maiden who was not kissed under the
mistletoe at Christmas would not be
married during the coming year.
A strange superstition prevails in
many English families In connection
with the Christmas holly. Before mid
night on New Years eve every yestigs
OF holly must be removed, or ill-luch
will be sure to fall upon the house. The
inference to be drawn from this is that
the New Year must be entered upon In
all seriousness, with nothing to recall
the festivities.
According to the old-established rule
the holly should not be taken down un
til after the twelfth night

CHRISTMAS e FURlTANs.
After Time Of Queen Bess Birthday
of Cn.ist Was ACE Occasion
foI Mad Reveiry.

More and more ter the time Of
Queen Bess was ca. mas maize an &C.
casion for mad'reysry Instead of joy
Gus Christian celebration.
Finally that part OF the English peo-
pie called the Puritans. who had become
disguised with the growing foolishness
of the Christmas celebration, got parlia-
ment to prohibit Christmas festivities
OF any sort AND for ten.yea the only
way Christmas was celebrated was by a
fast. Even for merely decorating their
church with evergreens the trustees of
St. Margaret's tWestminster) church,
In London, were placed under arrest.
The Puritans went entirely too far,
you see, in their sternness, and, natur-
ally, the people rebelled. So they be-
gan celebrating Christmas secretly at
home with all sorts of festivities. And.
because they did 1t secretly, they felt as
II they we're very sinful. when the
church refused to use her pleasant nests
Satan stole them and made them
snares." So people said at that time; or,
as other people put 1t: Father Christ
mas was let in at the back door,"
A little later, when the Puritans lost
their political power in England and
had to seek refuge elsewhere, many Of
them, as you know, came to America.
Bringing with them. as they did, thel-
stern prejudice against festivals, they
completely ignored Christmas for O
long, long time.
Their children and great-grandchil-
dren, however, did not inherit their
prejudice so strongly, and then, too, they
were influenced by the Dutch eolonists
