Tha Curious Mistletoe.
The .ory of bow the mistletoe gets
on tho trees Is a most Interesting one.
Covering the mistletoe twigs are pear
ly while berries. Those come In the
winter Reason, when food Is compara
tively scarce, and hence some birds eat
them freely. Now. when u robin outs n

and Hips the stone a way. The weed
of the mistletoe the bird cannot 11 1 p.

only resource Is to wipe It off, nnd ho
docs so, leaving It sticking to tho
branches of the tree on which ho Is
sitting at the time. Tills seed wprouls
after a time, and not finding earth
which, Indeed, its ancestral habit has
made ltcouso wanting It Rinks Its roots
Into the bark of the tree and hunts
there for the pipes that carry the sap.
Now. the sup In the bark Is the very
richest In I he tree, far richer than
that In the wood, and the mistletoe
gets from Its host the choicest of food.
With a strango foresight It does not
throw Its leaves away, as do most
parasites, but keeps them to use in
winter, when tho tree Is leafless.
A Queer Diagnosis.
A celebrated Dublin physician was
Sir Dominic Corrlgan, who was as
much famed for hlsbnisiueiiosa to
ward putleuta as for his skill. In the
courso of some reminiscences William
Charles Scully told a story of the doe
tor which Is quite well worth quoting.
"I was taken to see him," snys the
writer, "several times, but be always
treated mo with the utmost kindness.
However, a highly respectable maiden
nunt of mine hud a different experi

sounding her nouo too gently -and
