The religious aspect of the mistetoe tradition which had it's origin in the Druidical rites, and the gathering of it by the Arch Druid, with his golden sickle. merged, later into purely social symbol, and the idea of simple hospital ity developed into one of merry making and somewhat riotous entertainment The kiss given under the mistletoe ex- banded into the custom of kiss given for every berry that grew on the bough Small wonder that In spite of the mis- tletoe having originally existed in the odor of sanctity, the church came to re- gard it as an entirely pagan symbol, and refused to allow it to participate with the holly and the evergreens in yuletide decorations.
 There is an ancient belief that the mis- tletoe was the tree from which the holy cross was hewn and that after this was made, the plant withered and ever aft erward became a symbol, a mere Lara sitic growth, clinging for support to other sturdier trees.
 Other stories, however, accredit it with
 divine gifts in the healing of disease and the expulsion of evil spirits. Ram, the high priest of the Celts, re- ceived in a dream the intimation that by means of the plant he would be en- abled to save his people from the plague which was decimating them. To cele- brate their delivery he instituted the

New England Baked Beans

Cover a quart of beans with warm water and soak for eight hours or all night. In the morning drain, cover with hot water and boil until the skins curl up from the beans when blown upon. Drain and add to the beans tea spoon of mixed mustard, tablespoon of vinegar, pepper to taste; add little salt, taking care not to add to omuch, as the salt pork may season them suf- ficiently Put into a bean pot. add a cup of molasses, stirring in well, and thrust into the middle of the beans a pound of good salt pork, cut almost through in several places. Cover closely and bake six hours in a steady oven.

 Six hours seems a long while, yet l recollect that my New England great aunt used to set her bean pot in the brick oven on Saturday night to be ready for breakfast on Sunday morning. True, the fire had been drawn from the oven after the brown bread had been baked, but 1t was hot still.

DRY WEATHER AND HESS|AN FLY HAVE HURT WHEAT CROP 1915 Yield Will Not Be More Than 580,000, ,000 Bushels, According to Govern
 ment Estimate

f ; .
 Washington, December 17.-Dry weather and Hessian fly have so seriously affected the winter wheat crop that the 1915 yield probably will be not more than 5ov,0O0. .OOt bushels. according to an estimate today by the department of agriculture. This is nearly 1Oo,oOo.ooO bushels under last years total production. This year's acreage, 41.- 263,O0O acres, is the greatest ever sown. A very dry fall prevented the crop from making good start, said the depart ments statement Hessian fly, the report said. has been at work in various To- calities from Maryland to Oklahoma.
 The bureau of crop estimates issued this statement:
 The condition of the winter wheat crop on December 1 is estimated at SS.3 per cent of normal, which compares with 97.s per cent a year ago. In the past 1t years the condition on December has av- eraged 90.3 per cent, and the out-turn ot the crops has averaged about 14.4 bushels per acre on the planted area. In the same proportion the condition of sS.3 would forecast a yield of about 14.0s bushels which. on the estimated acreage planted amounts to eso.0oooo0 bushels.
 Estimate of Production
 '"The production in 1914 was estimated al 675. 62s.0O0 bushels and in the preceding five five years the average annual production weeks the average annual production was Al. .00O, 900 bushels"
 The acreage (O00s S omitted) and condition on December 1 of winter wheat by princi- pal states follows:

Feast of Noel, midwinter holiday. which has come to be considered coin- cident with the New Year.
 In many parts of England the silver berries and the gray-green leaves of the mistletoe are looked upon as anything but an emblem of good cheer; on the con- trary. the plant is regarded with dread as being the bringer of i'll luck and the sign of i'll luck. and the sign of ill omen.
 The superstition exists both in Devon- shire and in Ireland. and strange to say. in neither of these places does the .Ilant flourish, owing, report has it, to the fact that both incurred the displeasure of the Druids, and in consequence were cursed in such a way that their soil becomes incapable of nourishjng the sacred growth.

The good old custom of hanging the sprays of mistietoe from the ceiling and chandeliers during the Christmas festiv- tiles is said to have it's origin in the idea that since the plant did not have it's roots in the ground, no part of 1t should ever be permitted to touch the earth.

 At meeting of the board of gover- nuors of the Country club it was decided this week to vary the customary plan of entertainment and, instead of the New I ear eve reception and dance, to give a dinner-dance of the sort which occurs each Saturday night. It is the desire of the club to have the members together
 on this occasion as usual, but, owing to the conditions prevailing just now, the organization, like many fashionable in- stitutions of similar type in this coun- try, feels that it is not the fitting time for an entertainment on so broad a scale as has been the case in former seasons The same rules will, therefore govern the affair at the club that evening that prevail on every Saturday.

Recipte for Soft Candy

"Will you publish in the Helping Hand Corner an inexpensive but good candy recipe, preferably soft candy? I cannot find anything in a cook book, so I call upon you. MRS. M"
 l could give you a dozen recipes for making brittle or hard candies The soft do not keep so well and are ess popular in consequence. You might try this for cream candy while waiting for correspondents to contribute bet ter: Put over the fire pound of con fectioner's sugar and add two cups of boiling water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and take the spoon out at once, Boil 10 minutes and try lit- tie in a spoon to see if it threads" Then drop a little into iced water. When it Is sufficiently firm to be handled with the fingers turn 1t out upon a buttered platter. Do not stir while 1t is boiling, but when after it is poured into the dish, it grows blood warm. stir with a wooden spoon until it begins to be friable or .'crumbly." Form with the hands into round cakes, or pull it gently into sticks or slabs laying it upon buttered paper. It will be creamy and soft, yet will hold it's shape. Keep in boxes lined with waxcd paper You may flavor it when you be- gin to stir it after turning it upon the dish. Or perhaps you may like this maple fudge for variety: Into one cup of milk stir a pound of maple sugar broken into bits. Add pinch of bak- ing soda to the milk and bring slowly to the boil. Add tablespoonful of but ter and cook until little dropped from the end of the spoon into cold water is brittle Take from the fire, beat hard and when the fudge is gran ulated turn into grased pans and cut into squares.

Gravy From Boasts

,"I have been a follower of your Cor ner for sometime, deriving benefit therefrom. I should like to ask for a recipe for making good gravy from roasts. INEXPERIENCED"
 Gravy is the juice which exudes from the meat while roasting. The flow may be increased by pouring over the meat when it goes into the oven a cup of really boiling water direct from the kettle. This also cicatrizes the outside of the meat and prevents too rapid flow
