THE OLDEN MISTLETOE RITE.
Origin of Present Use of the Classic
 Plant.

Origin of Present Use of the Classic
 Plant.
 The druids at Yuletide used to cut the mistletOe to place upon their altars with elaborate ceremonies. Their name for it was all heal or all healing. There was a large procession, headed by the druidical priests, with bards singing canticles and hymns: then a herald preceded three uruids, fur nished with implements for severing the sacred plant, then the prince or chief of the druids. accompanied by all his followers.
 The chief mounted the oak and with golden knife detached the mistletoe and presented it to the priest. who re ceived and bore away the branches with great reverence. Two white bulls were sacrificed during the rite
 On the first day of the new year the branches after resting on the altars in the interval were distributed among the people as sacred and holy plant. the druid priest crying. '"rhe mistle toe for the New Year" Just when the mistletoe became known as the kiss ing bush" is not known.

THE RED CROSS SEAL
 COMES FROM NORWAY
"TTOW did the Red Cross Christmas
 LII seal orginate:" is a question

"TTOW did the Red Cross Christmas
 LII seal orginate?' is question
 that is being asked by many during this holiday season, when mil lions of these stickers are being sold all over the United States To Jacob Riis, the well known social worker of New York, and to Miss Emily F. Bis sell. the energetic secretary of the Delaware Red Cross society, jointly belongs the honor of originating our American Red Cross Christmas seal.
 In 1909 MT. Riis interest was arous- ed by the receipt of Christmas tu- berculosis stamp on letter from Nor way. He published an article about this queer looking stamp in the Out look and suggested some possible uses for it in this country. Miss Bissell at once saw an opportunity here and pre- pared stamp, from the sale of which her society realized $3,OOO for tubercu- losis work. So impressed was she with this success that she induced the American Red Cross to take. up the sale in 1908 on a national basis.
 With very little organization and with hardly any attempt at careful ad. vertising, the sale that year brought in over $135,OOO for anti-tuberculosis work in various parts of the United States. In 1909. with more organiza- tion. the sale was increased to $23O,OOO and ill 1910 to nearly $31O,0OO. Last year the sale increased to $33O, ,OOO, or 33.OGO,OOO seals.
 While our own Red Cross seal dates back only four years. charity stamps" from which this idea originally sprang, go back to 1862, when sanitary fair stamps were first used in Boston to raise money for the care of soldiers wounded during the civil war. Nearly $1,O0O,OOO was raised in this way dur ing the years 1862 to 1865.
 After the war this method of raising money was discontinued in this coun- try for generation. although it found vogue in Portugal. Switzerland. Aus tria. France, Spain. Denmark, Norway, Russia, Sweden and other European countries. There are now hundreds of different types of charity stamps used in all parts of the world, as many as forty being used in America for children's hospitals alone.
 Stamps or seals were first used to get money for the anti-tuberculosis cru sade in Norway and Sweden in 1904.
