ALL ABOUT THE MISTLETOE
Popular Christmas Plant Is Parasite
and In OIden Times Was Con-
sdered Sacred.

Although In the majority of Ameri-
can and English homes mistletoe is
displayed at Christmas time, il is re-
markable how little is known of this
curious plant Mistletoe is para
site growth, appearing most frequent
ly on apple trees, although it is also
found on evergreens and on poplar,
hawthorn, pear and oak trees, but
very rarely on the last named. II is
an evergreen bush. about four feet
In length, thickly crowded with
branches and leaves. Unlike all 9TH
er plants, its leaves extend down as
well as up. The plant flowers every
year, but does not bear the little whit
ish berries until it is four years old.
The mistletoe proper is a native of
Europe, especially of England and
Normandy. In olden times 1t was con-
sidered a sacred plant, because it's
berries grow in clusters of three
emblematie of the Trinity. The an
cient Celts used TO hang sprigs of
mistletoe around their necks as a
safeguard from witches. The maid
that was not caught and kissed under
the mistletoe at Christmas would not
be married within the year, so the
tradition goes. According to the old
rules the ceremony was not properly
performed unless berry was pulled
off after each kiss and presented to
the maiden. When all the berries
were gone the privilege ceased.

1t does me good to see him swing that
slapstick like a fan,
And yell out "Swowi" He's all the goods
That funny slapstick man.
