THE CURIOUS MIsTLEToE
Something Like 800 Varieties In the
world-Pink Berries Found Only
on Cedar Trees.

There are about 800 kinds OF mistle-
toe in the world. and ench variety
grows on the branches q trees and
has Httfe white or pink berries. says
ST. Nlcholas. But the pink berries
are found on only the cedar trees. The
mistletoe. unlike other plants. gets no
food directly from the ground. In
stead, Il gets It's nourishmcnt from the
trees on which II grows.
Another curious thing about the mis-
tletoe Is that though Il blossoms earl
Ter In the year than the tree on which
IL grows, yet the little berries do not
ripen before December. Maybe that
" because Il has 20 steal lis food from
the trees. and therefore cannot ripen
early. The very name "mistletoc"
gives some idea OF rs lnsignincnnce.
In the Anglo Saxon language mist
means gloom. aud II comes in mid-win-
ter, the gloomiest time Of the year.
The gathering Of mlstletoe was .
very important ceremony among the
nncieat Druids. About i've days after
the new moon they marched IN state
Iy procession 20 the forest and raised
an altar Of straw beneath the finest
misunderstanding oak they could ind.
The nrch-Druid would ascend the oak,
and. with a jeweled knife. remove the
sacred mistlefoe. The others stood be-
meath the tree and. caught the plant
upon a white cloth, for. II a portion
OF Il touched the earth. Il wns an omen
OF misfortune 10 the land.
And this ~ doubtless the reason why
Il Is sim the custom 20 hang II from
the ceiling and why Il Is supposed 10
lose its charm II II touches the noor.

CHRISTMAS FACTS IN BRIEF
Day Celebrated as Christian Festival
for enthusiastically Once
a Sacred Plant.

Christmas day is the anniversary OF
the birth OF Christ. and has been ceie-
brated rs a Christian festival for sew
eral centuries. The Christmastide lasts
from the 25th of December 10 the 9th
of january, the twelfth day after
Christ's nativity.
The origin Of the Christmas tree is
obscure; the thought of Christ as the
Light Of the World and the Tree of
Life may have given rise 70 the light
bearing tree, or the popular old belief
that every Christmas eve, trees bios
somed and bore fruit. may have been
she foundation. of the custom.
Gift-giving is. of course. the echo
Of the Wise Mems gifts; and mince
pie, turkey and plum puddings are
modern relics of the pagan feasts.
Santa Claus. known to every child In
ever land in this old world is the per-
sonihcatlon OF the spirit Of loving and
giving.
The molly. synonymous Of Christ
mas, was sacred plant, and the mis-
tlefoe mysterious plant. supposed by
the ancieI Druids to have some mys-
tic power of healing and preventing
misfortune. II was never allowed TO
touch the ground, hence the modern
superstition that It is unlucky for a
mlstletoe bough TO fall from it's place.
1t was dedicated to the Goddess OF
Love. which explains the custom OF
kissing under the mistletoe.
