THE CURIOUS MISTLET0E.
Something Like 800 Varieties in the
WorId-Pink Berries Found Only
on Cedar Trees.

There are about 300 kinds OF mistle'
toe in the world, and each variety
grows on the branches of trees and
has little white or pink berries, says
ST. Nicholas. 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, it gets its nourishment from the
trees on which 1t grows.
Another curious thing about the mis-
tletoe Is that though it blossoms earl
Ter in the year than the tree on winch
it grows, yet the little berries do not
ripen before December. Maybe that
is because it has to steal its food from
the trees. and therefore cannot rlpen
early. The very name "mlstletoe'
gives some idea of its insignihcance.
In the Anglo Saxon language mist
means gloom, and it comes In mld-Win-
ter, the gloomiest time OF the year.
The gathering of mistletoe was
very important ceremony among the
ancient Druids. About five days after
the new moon they marched III state
Nv procession to the forest and raised
an altar of straw beneath the hnest
misunderstanding oak they could ma.
The arch-Druid would ascend the OAK
md. with n ieweled knife, remove the
sacred mistletoe The others stood be
meath the tree and caught the plant
upon a white cloth, for, If a portion
of 1t touched the earth, 1t was an omen
of misfortune to the land.
And this is doubtless the reason why
It is still the custom to hang it from
the ceiling and why it is supposed TO
lose its charm if it touches the hoor.
