This gastronomic dainty has his
tory as cid as Christmas in the

Its earlier known appearance WAS
at the winter feasts of the half
Christlanized Britons. 1t was then.

tain. made in the form of manger,

The mistletoe was held In great
reverence by the Dyuids. 1t was be-
lieved to be particularly and divinely
healing; in fact, II was given this
attribute for centuries. II had spe-
cial significance as the cause of the
death OF Balder. the Morse Apollo,
who was killed by an arrow made
from its branches and given to the
blind Holder by Loki. the god OF
mischief. Balder was restored 10
life. the mistletoe tree was placed
under the care of Frigs. and from
that time until II touched the earth
was never again TO be an instrument
of evil
The present custom OF kissing un-
der the mistletoe Is the outcome Of
an old practice of the Druids. Per-
sons of opposite sexes passed under
the suspended vine and gave each
other the kiss of love and peace In
fun assurance that though 1t had
caused Balder's death. II had lost all
its power OF doing harm since his
restoration.
Despite the pagan origin of the
majority of our Christian customs,
they have been so much infused with
the spirit of peace and good will that
their original significance is COM
pletely lost, and there is an entirely
different cputi-,gnt In tho merry fas-
tival of to-day.

Raisins for Plum Pudding.-Re-
member that muscatel raisins vii!

and better color. You can buy them
cheaply IL loose and not in bunchos.
Currants.-When washing the cur
rants for mince meat and Christmas
pudding bear in mind that If left at
all damp they cause heaviness. and
II they are dried in hurry before
quick fire their flavor is spoiled.
Let the Children Hang Up Their
Stockings.-Hanging up the stock
ing is a custom that ought not to be
allowed to perish. Certainly the
child who dresses decorously and
goes down to breakfast before re-
ceiving his Christmas presents is q
child to be condoled with. He must
lose great deal of the enthusiasm
OF the hour. By all means hang up
the stocking. If one wants to be
modern and hygienic there is no OBJ
lection to using perfectly fresh white
stockings bought on purpose, and
wrapping the candy and oranges in
white tissue paper. Put the trifies,
the jumping-jacks, the horns and the
balls in the stocking, reserving the
more serious gifts for the breakfast
table or the tree.

BY CLINTON DANGERFIELD.

The cattle in their humble stalls
Turn on Him wondering eyes;
But Mary sees her little Babe
That on her true breast lies.
The wise men, bending at His feet
Bring incense, gold and myrrh :
But Mary holds an infant form
Whose life must hang on her.
His star Is shining in the east,
His great archangels sing;
But Mary hears a thin young voice
Troubled and faltering.
Her ears are deaf to angel songs.
The star she will not see;
The costly gifts before Him laid
Seem fading mistily.
And thus to heavens host she
prays,-
By splendor unbeguiled.-
Let me forget the King tonight.
And hold my own, my Childi"

The Game of Jeweler.

Get some one or the older chill
dren or grown folks to act the part
of the jeweler. He must bestow
upon each player. in a whisper, the
name of some jewel, such as sap
phire, topaz. emerald, turquoise,
pearl, ruby, diamond, amethyst, until
all have received names, taking care
that more than half receive the same
name, say diamond. He announces
that as each gem is called it must
run into the hall. whilst he is count
ing ten, or they will have to pay
forfeit.
He then places a small table be-
fore the door in such a position that
only one person can pass through at
a time. Then he takes his place
near the table and addressing the
company, says: II am the White
House lady's jeweler, and she has
ordered a brooch, to complete which
my men are now waiting for an anne
thyst." The amethyst Immediately
jumps up and runs into the hall as
quickly as possible. The jeweler
then says. Il must also have a tur-
quoise," and the turquoise responds
by following the atmethyst All the
others should be called before he
mentions the diamond. and when
that demand is made all who have
received the name of diamond, rush
simultaneously to the door, each
thinking all the rest are acting un-
der mistake. The aperture being
altogether too narrow for their hur-
ried egress, the confusion causes
much merriment.

Try this game by blindfolding all

should run about and touch first one
and then another. The blindrolded
ones cause much merriment by catch
ing each other and making all kinds
of guesses as to whom they have
caught The one who guesses right
has the handkerchief taken off of his
eyes, and so on, until all can see.
