ALLEN How the Mistletoe Came to Mean Kissing ~\ie decorate our boutes with sprays of mistletoe at Christmas time, but few of us know the history of It as n .Yuletlde symbol, i'retty. girls are lilssed under it und a great deal of fun and nonsense are curried on apropos of It, but no one stops to think of bow ancient a decoratiou It Is or how sacred it was once thought to be. The undent Celts in their Druidleal religion had two great festivals, ot y in Juue and the other In December, the hitter being equivalent to our Christmas. In both of those great t he--gathering of the mistlet'i ? was a sacred lite. The Druids believed tlmt a potion prepared fro::i mistletoe would in crease their flocks and that Hie plant was h remedy against ail poison. It was believed to l}e a curative for many III?, and Hils bullet is still to be found in many n.'iiotc places in Europe. In I.ncduric, l'rance, for example, it is always administered by the native dwellers as an antidote for poison. In the northeast of Scotlaud people . used to-cut 'withes of mistletoe at the March fulL moon; these they bent In circles and kept for a year fro cure hectic fevers and other troubles. In Sweden on midsummer eve mistletoe is diligently sought after, the people believing It to be possessed of many mystic qualities, and that if a sprig of it is attached to the celling of the dwelling house, the horse's stall or the cow's crib, the Trola will then be pow erless to Injure either man or beast. Many German peasants also consider the mistletoe a powerful charm agfclnst evil spirits. A similar belief seems ttr have lingered among the Bonaans. When Aeneas descended Into Hades ha gathered, to protect himself, fronj the Infernal powers, a branch of mis tletoe, which Vergil caHs the golden bough. The custom of kissing under the mis tletoe goes back to the days when Thor and Odin and all the other gods of the Northland walked and talked with men. Baldur, the sob of Odin and Frlgga, the Apollo of Scandina vian mythology, the flaxen-haired god ?f sunshine and Its attendant blow ings, was loved by all earthly and heavenly beings save one?Loki, the god of earthly fire "and its attendant evils. How of all the things animate and Inanimate in the world, except the Burly mistletoe, swore never to harm the sun god and bow Lokl Slew Baldur with a branch of It, has been told with beautiful poetic power by Matthew Arnold. In conciliation, hoping to soothe the passionate sorrow of the.mother, Frlg ga, they dedicated the mistletoe to her. And now sin and sorrow had hallowed it; for henceforth it was to grow, not as a symbol of bitterness and hatred, but as a sign of tenderness and love. But the gods decreed that It was to stand for these things only so long as it touched not Loki's kingdom, the soil; and for this reason it is never seen growing on the ground and we our selves always hang It high on the raft era or chandeliers. And,.now that It was the plant of love, the custom arose for enemies tf become friends under the mistletoe; for lovers to pledge their troth beneath It; and for those who met there to kiss as a clgn of af fectionate fellowship. Farming In France. The French government has under taken to supply the depleted ranks of the farmers and to give assistance j to the amateur farmer by means of a correspondence course, which has been I eagerly received. "The pupil receives Instructions as to a course of reading, the managemfent of a small experiment plot, the carrying out of simple experi ments, visits to neighboring farms, etc. The Union of Agrlcultural Syndi cates, which has "assumed charge of this work for the government, has ap pointed a number of "conltors" to su pervise the work of pupils in their sev eral neighborhoods. The pupils pre pare monthly examination papers and render monthly reports on their work. SIFTING OUT THE SUCKERS Hospital Assistant, Threatening to Cook Alive One Patient to Obtain Qreaee, Reduce* 8lck Call. Stories of how to outwit Impostors who report slclc In order to loaf Id hos pitals are among the oldest traditions of the medical branches of all allies, says a writer In a medical journal. A fourteenth-century collection of anec dotes shows that the mallgnerer was known In those days and Cardinal de Bari, who had a hospital at Yercelt, found Its resources wero being ex hausted by men of (his typs. He sent one of his subordinates tO Investigate. This man, Petrlllo hy name, who was 'something of a humorist, dressed him self In the robes of a physician and assembled all the patients for an ex amination of their wounds. Then he gravely said: "There Is clearly but one remedy needed for the cure of ulcers of this character, and that Is an ointment made of human grease. This very day I Intend, in consequence, to draw by lot one from among you, who will be plunged alive Into boiling wa ter and cooked for the salvation of *11." Seized by fear, all the patients made haste to report themselves fully recovered from their ulcers, and con sequently there was room In the hos pital for those who raally needed care. Physicians today, by the use of sim ilar ruses, have discovered many "hos pital slacker*-" The Real ? . v Santa Claus V Will Be At The ;T7~ " Toyland Stbre on Saturday, December 15th/ To give away a lot of Toys, he will waht to se^r everybody in Frank lin County especially the pfiildren.
