(B y E. R G A IL L A R D .) According to Scandinavian mythol­ ogy, Loki (the god of evil) was tht sworn enemy of Baldur (the god ol light), and tried by every means In hie power to kill him, but failed because he was invulnerable to everything that came from earth— air, fire, or water. Loki, at last, conceived the Idea that the mistletoe, springing from neither, would serve his purpose, and, having The i wo masses. an arrow made from that wood, he The man who is looking for trouble helped Hodi (the blind god of dark is a source of endless wonderment to ness), to aim it, and Flaldur fell dead the men who npn’t >»»♦ .-way from it. — shot through the heart.

There was once a common, though mistaken belief that the mistletoe grew on oak trees only, but that was so far from true that the Druids, who held the oak as absolutely sacred be cause they believed it to represent the One Supreme God, deemed the mistletoe doubly sacred if found on one, and carefully guarded it until the sixth day after the first new moon of each year. When this time arrived, priests robed in white surrounded the tree and held solemn ceremonies, among which was the sacrifice of two white bulla. A fter the ceremonies, a priest in spotless robes ascended the tree and, with a golden knife, cut the mistle­ toe and let it fall on to a white cloth held by other priests. The branches were then formally "blessed” and divided among the peo­ ple who believed the sprays given them to have miraculous powers. The common belief in the efficacy of the plant was such that It was called all-heal; but according to an old legend, a certain lover searched many days for a specimen growing on an oak tree, that he might secur« Its branches for the cure of his be­ trothed, who was sick unto death, but when he found It be touched the sap while cutting the branches, and fell dead near the tree, Indicating that the sap was a deadly poison. The plant thrives in America from New Jersey southward and westward, and those who know it only as a part of Christmas decorations can have little Idea of “how often It overrun, trees to the extent o f being a ouie ance. •ALBERS BROSi ¡j•:MILLING CQjjij Moscow's Municipal Hawninops.
