portant events. President Mackenzie

ess. It is, therefore, only partly .
parasite so far as dependence upon
q host for food Is concerned, but ap-
parently nones the less harmful on that
account. 1t secures from its host only
what the normal shrubbery plant de-
riyes from the soil, namely, water and
certain necessary mineral constituents.
Imagine grapevine or a trumpet
creeper, while retaining its foliage, to
sever connection with the soil and to
thrust rootlike outgrowths into the
body Of the tree to which it clings, in
order to absorb from the tree what
before 1t absorbed from the soil. This
would represent the relation which
mistletoe sustains to its host"
It is interesting to note that there
are points of difference between the
American mistletoe and the European
mistletoe, to which such wealth Of
legend and romance attaches. But the
points Of difference are not import
ant, and the American Is very like
the European mistletoe in its appear
ance and its habits Of life. The name
'.mistletoe" was long ago applied to
the mysterious parasitic European
shrub to which centuries later Lin
naeus gave the name viscum album.
Since that time related species have
been found in nearly all parts Of the
world, especially in the warm coun-
tries. The family Of mistletoes is
now known to be a large one, en-
bracing more than six hundred species.
It has been written that in the course
of botanical explorations In the west.
ern hemisphere numerous representa-
tives Of the family were found, and
among them was one which SO close
~ resembled the original mistletoe
that it was given the generic name Of
viscum, with the specific designation
Of "flavescens," and one early bOtan-
zeal explorer, the celebrated Thomas
Walter, called the specimens which he
found in the Carolinas viscum album,
under the impression that they were
identical with the European plant.

A HOME OF MY OWN.

Is the dream of almost everyone.
Some plan it for years.
Home building is an undertaking
that should not be entered into light
".
Few build more than once in life
time.
When the home becomes a reality,
1t should be satisfactory reality.
II 1t is to be a satisfactory reality,
none but the highest quality products
should be used in 1t.
This is true Of every item that
goes into the home.
Interior woodwork or as some term
1t permanent furniture" is an inter-
gal and important part of every home.
It is more so today than in years
gone by for the days Of bare walls
are over.
