According to Scandinavian mytho

touched the earth, and the goddess OF
love was appointed to guard it.
Some legends claim that the god
dess kissed all who passed under the
plant as a token that it was no longer
weapon Of death, but a symbol Of
love, while others assert that she ex-
tracted a kiss from each as a propitia-
ton, or the bough should be allowed to
work harm.
Another reason for the kissing priv.

Kiss For Each Berry.

The custom Of kissing beneath thu
mistletoe" is so old that no one knows
when it originated; but when young
people are found selecting the branches
that have the berries on, it is fair to
suppose that they know a kiss must
be given for each berry plucked and
that the ceremony is never complete
until every berry is off the branch.
There was once q common, though
mistaken, belief that the mistletoe grew
on oak trees only, but that was so far
from true that the Druids, who held
the oak as absolutely sacred because
they believed it to represent the One
Supreme God, deemed the mistletoe
doubly sacred if found on one. and
carefully guarded it until the sixth day
after the first new moon, of. each
year.
When this time arrived, priests
robed in spotless white, surrounded
the tree and held solemn ceremonies,
among which was the sacrifice Of two
white bulls.
After the ceremonies a priest robed
in spotless white assembled the tree,
and with a golden knife cut the mis-
tletoe and let it fall onto a white
cloth held by other priests.
The branches were then formally
blessed and divided among the people,
who believed the sprays given them
to have miraculous power.
Called "AII-HeaI" Plant.
The common belief in the efficacy
of the plant was such that 1t was call
ed "all-heal; !" but according to an old
legend, a certain lover searched many
days for a specimen growing on an
oak tree, that he might secure it's
branches for the cure Of his betrothed,
who was sick unto death, but when
he found it he touched the sap, while
cutting the branches, and fell dead
near the tree, indicating that the sap
was q deadly poison.
Another legend accounts for the
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-12-19
fact that the plant is a parasite by the

fact that the plant is a parasite by the
story that the mistletoe, originally
grew as a tree, and that the cross on
which Christ was cruciied was made
from mistletoe wood, after which it
was accursed and condemned to never
more grow as q tree but to exist as
a parasite, killing every living thing
to which it became attached.
The plant thrives in America from
New Jersey southwark and westward,
ana those who know it only as a part
Of Christmas decorations can have
little idea Of how it overruns trees to
the extent of being a nuisance.

BITTER FIGHTS OVER Boards
Tartars and Persans Long in Conflict
Because They Held Varying 0pin-
ions on the Matter.

Before now the wearing Of boards
has caused bitter war and made the
executioner's Ak cut through many a
neck. The Tartars waged a long war
with the Persians, declaring them in.
fdels because they would not shave
their boards after the fashion Of Tar
tary.
The Greeks wore boards until the
time Of Alexander, who. ordered the
Macedonians to be shaved lest their
boards should give handles to their
enemies. The ancient Romans wore
boards, but in England they were not
fashionable after the conquest until
the thirteenth century and we're dis:
continued at the Restoration.
Peter the Great kept a squad Of Of
ficers whose duty it was to cut the
boards of unwilling citizens by force
Before 1910 shaving was almost uni
versal in the United States.
There have been numerous instances
of women with long masculine boards
Margaret Of Savoy, daughter Of Maxi
milan /, had long stiff beard, and g
woman was seen in Paris with a black
bushy beard that reached to her waist
At the battle of Pultowa the Russians
captured bearded woman, whom they
presented to the car. She had s
beard five and one-half feet long.

Rooms in the Williams block are being

also aiding. The youngsters are having

the fact that ice cream is recommended
for them has surely placed a silver
lining in the clouds for them. DR.. Gar

Educators and Thoughtful citizens
everywhere view with alarm the great
depletion in the teaching forces made
by the great war; Eminent Teachers
both men and women. have joined the

war activities to such an extent that
many schools and colleges are seriously
handicapped in their work. And large
numbers Of students also have babe
farewell to books and lessons to help
uncle Sam in the war. The Normal
schools Of Minnesota shQw an. enroll
ment II per cent less this year than last
year, that Of young men having de-
creased 37.2 per cent. It is very evident.
therefore. that these schools which
even before the war were unable to sup
ply all the trained teachers needed. will
be less able to do so now. Owing to
the scarcity of teachers. many who lack
the necessary qualifications will have
to be employed. AS the strength of our
nation in great measure depends upon
the quality Of our schools. we cannot
afford to let them leteriOrate in the
least. Young people everywhere should
be encouraged to continue their etluca-
tional training. The nation with the
best schools will be the greatest nation

"BET7ER BLIND THAN DEAF"
Scientific Writer Points Out Why the
Former kifIiction Is Less Hard
to Bear.

Scientists have shown that sound not
only informs the intellect, as does
sight, but that, much in excess of that
sense, it excites feelings-that is,
sound pure and simple has specific
relation to feelings widely different
from that of sight.
Its primary effect was the creating
of moods, Margaret Baldwin writes in
the Atlantic magazine. This being SO,
the simple fact is that sound has far
more to do fundamentally with origin
ating our emotions, or how we feel from
day to day, than has what we see.
It should be said in passing, that
there is very little recognition of this
fact by the person with normal hear
ing. Sight and sound are so inter-
woven for him that he does not dis
eliminate as to what belongs intrinsi-
cally to each in the province of feel
ings. 1t is only when the two are
clearly separated, as in deafness or
blindness, that experience takes note
Of what belongs to the one and the
other. =.
A scientific writer points out that we
can see with Indifference the with
ings of suffering animal that is still,
but that, if there are cries of pain, 1t
produces emotions at once. We are
distressed. In reports Of terrible ma
rine disasters, it is almost never said
by people that they can never forget
the sights they saw, but always that
they can never forget the cries of the
drowning.
Although ore would hardly hesitate
to say that the excess of the BLIND
mans calamity over that of the deaf
man is sufficient to overbalance this
elemental function of sound TO pro-
duce moods, yet the universal fact re-
mains that the blind are more cheerful
than the deaf.

POOR DWELLING PLACE, THIS
Has Decidedly Few Attractions
for European Residents.

Wei-hei-wei is the bit of Chinese ter:
.itory that the British hold under lease
as a naval and commercial base. It is
just across the breadth of the Shan
tung peninsula from Kiachow. Wei
hei-wei lies partly on the mainland,
partly on an island, where the dock
yard, the coaling station and the rest
of the machinery for naval base are
located. Most of the civilian popula-
ton live on the mainland, and patron
ize a little steam launch that plies
across the intervening sea when they
want to go shopping; for with an eye
10 getting the British jackies' trade
when warships put in to coal, the
shops of Wei-hei-wei are out with the
docks and the coal yards.
The island seen from the steam
launch is a barren, sandy hill, ridged
with gullies that the hurrying rain wa
ter has cut in it's course to the sea.
The sand of these hills is one Of the
omnipresent features of the colony ;
every wind that blows carries it about
by pounds, and only the cheapness of
Chinese servants makes it possible to
keep European household busted.
The mainstreet on the island has the
characteristic British colonial look,
with a British post office, British
steamship booking office, and British
shops. On the short side street are the
Chinese shops, which are only opened
at certain seasons when visitors are
plenty, or when a warship puts in to
the harbOr.
