CHRISTMAS AND MISTLEToE
Nature Worship Reflected in Use OF
MistIetoe at Christmas
Time.

A great many years ago, before the
time of Christianity, the oak tree, and
especially the mistletoe, growing out
of the heart Of the oak, were rever-
enced for their supposed affinity with
the sun. The Druids worshiped the
sun as the one supreme god, and be-
lieved the oak to be in some way as
ISOLATED with the sun because they
made fire by rubbing oak sticks to.
gether, the oak being at once the most
common tree and the most suitable
for the purpose. Twice each year
these Celtic priests gave a religious
festival in honor of the sun, their
places of worship being in the oak
groves. In June, when the sun was
known to have ceased mounting high
er in the heavens, the Druids gave
thanks, because a nearer approach OF
the sun was thought to be possible,
and this, of course, would result in the
burning up of the earth. In Deem
her. at the time of the shortest days,
the Druids prepared celebration IN
honor Of the suns turning back from
his downward journey, which was rec
ognized as the days began to grow
longer. This second celebration was
quite naturally the happiest time, the
people holding the sun in such fear
in June 1t was then the mistletoe
was honored as being the very essence
of the oak.
When eventually the church was es.
tablished and its followers turned the
ancient December celebration into
Christmas, the mistletoe was hung up
by way of compromise, although it had
nothing to do with the new religion.
And so even today, in our use OF ever
green and holly, and exc the OCCASION
al sprig of mistletoe, we reflect the
nature worship which gave us, per
haps, not only the foundation of oui
Christmas, but for our love of nature
/ as well.

buildings and neat surroundings. The
whole countryside wears look OF
prosperity.
The town shows it in cement side
walks and clean streets. 1t shows it
in large, well supplied stores, making
up in size what they lack in numbers
It shows it in neat homes and large
parks. The town has friendliness
and respect for the country, and the
country has high regard for the
town. The town Is proud of every
new barn that goes up in the country.
and the country is proud of every new
building that goes up in town. In the
manners and looks of the people there
is no distinction.
A stranger in town on holiday
could not tell the town people from
those from the country. There is no
difference. for In a larger sense they
all belong to the country They have
combined the culture of the city with
the freedom of the open air They
have found the best place in the world
to live, and they are happy.

SLIGHT DECREASE
IN CIRCULATION

Washington July GA decrease
in circulation per capita OF 10 cents
on July l as compared With year
ago is shown by the latest treasury
statement on that subject. On July
/, 1909, the amount which each man
woman and child In the United States
would have had with all the money
equally divided, was S36.31. last Fri
day it was S34.52.
The amount OF money In circula-
tion on the first instant was greater
than a year ago, but the population
increased In greater proportion than
did the money.
In striking contrast with the avail
able circulation today for the coun-
try's needs is that of January l, 1879,
when the treasury statement showed
there was SS16,266,722 outstanding.
