SACRED MISTLETOE.

The druids with ceremonies of great
solemnity used to collect mistletoe with
a golden sickle against the festival of
winter sOlstice." Only the oaks bear
ing mistletoe were sacred to this an
cient order of men.
1t is recorded that the peoples rev.

great measure from the cures which
the priests effected by means Of this
curious green plant of the pear-like
berries. 1t was collected thus cere-
moniously by the druids because 1t was
supposed to drive away evil spirits.

bringing in bits of evergreen from the
woods and adjoining the house is

Forerunner of Christmas.

The spirit of merrymaking that
marks our Christmas holidays had its
origin with the Roman. feast called
the Saturnalia. This was a festival In
honor of Saturn, father of the gods.
1t lasted for a week or two, beginning
about the 10th Of December, and was
the occasion for great revelry among
all classes. No business was transact
ed during this period, war was sus-
pended, private feuds were forgotten
or forgiven, and general good fellow
ship reigned supreme. Friends ex-
changed presents with one another,
and the slaves were waited upon by
their masters and mistresses.
