Mistletoe is one of the forms of
Christmas decoration which nobody
ever asks us not to use reckleSsly, be-
cause it is a para site on trees. In this
country 1t is rather unusual for mistle-
toe to do serious damage to tree. but
the European mistletoe is so abundant
in many places as to constitute real
menace to forests. 1t is hard to
imagine how the mistletoe seed, which
is heavy. gets lodged in its favorite
position in the high branches of trees,
and how it is that it does not get
washed off or blown off. But the
mstletoe has cunning device for
overcoming just these difficulties. The
seeds of the parasite are sticky and
adhere to the feet of any bird that
steps on them. The bird flies to An-
other tree and scrapes his feet on the
branch, and the seed comes off. It's
tenacious powers enable it to main
tain it's perch until roots and suckers
can penetrate the tree and begin the
life of new plant.

Terrifying Commissions.

Mrs. L. J. p. asks the following
questions "What causes convulsion?
How do they act? What is the best
remedy?'
Commissions come from various
causes. They may be the first indica-
tion of some serious illness, scarlet
fever. meningitis. pneumonia and so
on, or they may be due to some upset
in the intestinal tract due to over
feeding or wrong kinds of food. A
baby may stuff himself on gingersnaps
or bananas. and while neither food is
iri itself harmful, could be extremely
Most ordinary commissions are due to
these indiscretions of diet.
In a convulsion the child becomes
unconscious, his eyes remain open and
staring, and every muscle in his body
twitches. Sometimes he gurgles and
foams at the mouth. in manner
typical of epilepsy. This may last for
hours or pass In few moments. In
cases where all ordinary methods fail
to end the convulsion one can be
fairly sure that it is of far more seri-
: Gus origin than just an intestinal
upset.
remember that the chief thing is to
surface of the body. The child may
be put in tub of hot water being
careful that 1t is not hot enough to-
scald the tender skin. as happens
when the nervous mother fails to
realize that 1t is a baby she is han
ding and that being unconscious he
cannot scream, or otherwise indicate
if the water is too hoU. Let the
mother plunge her arm above the
elbow in the water which should feel
comfortably warm but never burning
to the skin. Immerse the child in this.
a tiny bit of water in the tub is
worse than no good. Keep the child
submerged until the twitching ceases.
A cold cloth on the child's head is
beneficial, though sometimes one poor
scared mother cannot manage every.
thing alone.
Take the baby out and wrap in a
blanket. Keep the celd-iced cloth on
the child'S head, but keep the body
warm. If the commissions have ended
the next step is to give a cool enema.
the cool water helping to bring down
the fever and also clear the lower
intestine. If the baby can swallow
give a dose of castor oil. Call the
doctor if this has not already been
done.
Keep the baby quiet and in bed.
Give no food but boiled water. no
matter what the child's age. until the
doctor has seen him. If the convul-
sion has been due to an injudicious
diet the baby will be all right
If child shows a tendency to
frequent convulsions the mother
should ask the doctor to prescribe
some medicine to keep the fever down
until she can attend to the enema and
physic and check the convulsion. The
more commissions a child has, the
| more likely he is to have them and
| this type of child, if neglected. may
| develop far more serious ailment
