ilways been respected, particularly by
tho Britons nnd tho Scandinavians. It
was a part of tho religion of tho
Irulds. nnd they regarded It with tho
utmost veneration, but restricted their
worship of It to tho plnnt when found
growing on tho onk. Tho oak was tho
fuvorllo tree of their divinity. Tutnue,
which tho books say appears to hnvo
i....... 1 1, a umnn mr ttio Phoenician god
Hani, or tho sun. was prayed to under
llircrent nninca by uio eariy pagan.
At tho nerlod of tho winter solstice,
which wnB about Christmas time, a
urent festival was celebrated In honor
of Tutane. When this anniversary ar
rived the Britons, nccompnntcd by
their priests, the drulds, went forth
...i.i. nini-tmiu nmtin nml lollltv to gath
er tho mistletoe, which they believed
io possess wonderful curntlvo powcra.
With them they took two white bulls
tud sometimes human uemgs io uo
iiicrlilccd.
Upon llndlng tho onk with the mis
tletoo clinging to It tho chief dmld,
clnd In white, tho emblom of purity,
itHcended tho treo nnd with u golden
knlfo cut the vino. As It fell It was
-might In the folda of the robo of an
other priest. Thon tho bulla nnd somo.
times tho humnna wero offered to Tu
tnno. nnd various festivities followed.
Clio mlstlctoo thus gnthored was cut
into small portions nnd distributed
mnno til A noODlC. WllO lltlUg It OTCr
tho ontrnnccs to tholr dwellings to
notify tho Hylvnn deities that thoy
wero wolcomo to shelter uunng uio
xenson of frost nnd cold.
Theso rites wero retained throughout
tho Romnu dominion In Britain nnd
for n long whllo under tho Jules, Sax
nus nnd Angles.
Tho most beautiful legend regarding
tho mlstlctoo nnd tho ono from which
It derives Its mystic powers la of Scan
iinnviiiii nrtuln. Bnlder. tho god of
poetry and elomienco nnd second son
of Odin and I'rojn, had a dream In
which It waa Intimated that bo would
lio killed In bnttlo. Ho communicated
this dremn to his mother, who was
very fond of him, nnd Bhe, to protect
him, Invoked tho powora of naturo flro,
earth, air nnd water as won ns am
mala nnd plants nnd obtnlned an oath
from them that they would do Balder
no hurt With his invulnerability aa
surod, as ho thought, he entered tho
combats of tho gods and waa very suc
cessful In slaying nil who camo for
tvnni to enirniro him. Thov Btruck him
with their arrows, but ho plucked them
out nnd derided hla antagonists na
they fell mortally wounded beforo him.
It waa nbout tlmo for Loko, his arch
enemy, to chnllongo him or Buffer tho
Ignominy of cownrdlco, but ukq was
a schemer.
Ho disguised himself aa an old wo
man and, determining to discover tho
oecrct of Haider's Immunity from
death, cnlled upon Preja. IIo address
mi iin mntiinr with comnllmcutnry re
marks upon tho vnlor nnd good fortuno
of her son. nnd tho goddess replied
that her son was snfo from unrm, as
nil tho nroduetions of tho world had
sworn not to Injure him. Loko waa
very much discouraged nnd was about
to go away when Preja added that
thero was ono plant sho did not con
jure becauso of Its Insignificance.
With well feigned Indifference Loko
Inquired tho nnmo of It. nnu irroja saw
it was tho mistletoe
Tho designing Loko procured a shoot
of tho mistletoe, mndo nn arrow of it
nud then sought tho assembly of tho
gods. Thero ho met tho blind neda
nml concluded that tho humiliation of
Baldcr's family would bo more com
plete If Balder should be killed by n
sightless god. So ho asked ueaa,
"Why do you not contend with tho ar
rows of Balder?" neda replied that
ho waa bllud and unsupplled with ar
rows, whereupon Loko gavo him the
mlstlctoo arrow nnd said, "Balder ia In
front of thee." neda shot, and Balder
fell plowed ami slaln.-Cinclnnatl Enquirer.
