A re T b s custom connected with the m istle toe at the C hristm as holidays is a rsiic of tits days uf Druidisin, banded down through a long course of «-enturies. in the religion of the Druids the mistletoe was regarded with tbs utmost venera tion. though the reverence which they paid to It sseins to bare beeu restrlrted to the plant woeu found growing on the oak tree. O aks were the sacred trews of tbs Druids. W h a tsrer was found to grow upon them was regarded as sent from heaven and therefore set apart for devotional observance. A t the period of the whiter solstU'e the ancient Druids, with men, women and children, ealUed forth with great pomp and rejoicings to gather the m yrtle parasite, which. In addition to religious reverence, wsa be lieved to possess marvelous curative { mi were. When the oak was reache«! on which the mistletoe grew two w hits bulla were laiund to the tree and the high priast o f tbs Druids, clothed In purs whits, a s cended. and, with a golden knife, cut the sacred plant, which, aa It fell, wsa m ig h t hr another priest In the folds o f his spotless whito mantle. T he bulla, aud aometiniea human beings, were sacri ficed. V arious festivities then followed, In which the mistletoe thus slithered was divided into portions and distributed among tlie people, who hung up the sprays over the entrances to thsir dw ell ing» aa a propitiation and charm to the sylvan deities for the season of frort aud cold. T he m istletoe with Its curl-ms whits berry, so long a puasle to botanists aud naturalists of alt age«. remains sa o f old sacred to lore aa when the Scandina vians dedicated it to Krega, their god draa of love and beauty. T he custom of kissing under the mistletoe Is an In nocent survival from the saturnalia of the anclenta. In England all clauses and ages deliver them selves up willing vic tims of the long-eatahliabed custom. There are the jolly bachelors, who kiss every girl that comes their way. A t a later period m istletoe had been for a time abatuioned in the Christm as ileinrationa of the places o f worship, aa also the promiscuous kissing at the close of the service, which usage was trans ferred. however, and flourished in the home at the Christm as atid New Y ear’ s celebrations, when it became a kissing game, the m istletoe being tied with other greens high up against the (wiling In the center o f the room.
