Mistletoe Was Ancient Panacea.
Numerous curious and ridiculous su-
perstitions as to methods of prevent-
ing disease were believed in years ago,
and are not altogether extinct even
today, it is said.
Much ancient faith clustered about
the mandrake root, which was carved
in the form of a doll, dressed in fine
clothes, and kept in a box or coffin con-
cealed in some corner of the house.
Each month it was washed in wine
and water and freshly garbed.
Another universal cure was to carry
a piece of mistletoe which had been
cut from a tree by a golden sickle and
caught in a white vessel as it fell.
Metal scraped from a church bell or a
piece of the rope was supposed to have
a similar protective influence against |
disease, as also a cloth stained in the |
blood of a murderer, or the rope with
which he was hanged.
Death of Death.
The time may not be far off when |
to lose a friend by death will be hard- |
ly more than to have him cross the |
jcean; when our own passing will be
merely the happy setting sail for a
new country. It may be that in the
reat war, which has furnished an
orgy such as the world has never be-
fore seen, death as we have known it
n all its agony of parting and un-
~ertainty, has at least been glutted to
‘he full, has reached its climax, and
must hereafter diminis’.
O people of the world, all things
have died! It may be that now at
last death itself is dying !—From the
Atlantic Monthly. y
All He red About.
Harold is fond of fowl. One day
he came to the house breathless.
“Oh, mamma,” he said, “Jimmy's mam-
ma ain't going to have no turkey for
Christmas. Is we?”
“Well, son,” answered the mother,
“perhaps we will have duck or goose,
or it may be just chicken.”
“Oh, that's all right,” said Harold.
“Just so it’s something with legs on
it.”
Swiss Farm Average Increased.
Because of the war Switzerland has
increased its acreage under -cultiva-
tion in grains by more than 20 per cent
over the 1914 figures.
Noncombustible Linoleum.
Noncombustible linoleum, invented
in Germany, includes in its composi-
tion a chemical which gives off a flame-
quenching gas should it be ignited.
