SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT CHRISTMAS Significant meanings surround Christmas, according to super- stitions beieved in vanieus parts et the wonld. In Holstein, Mistletoe is net only supposed te be a cure for all green wounds, but wil insure success in thc chose ond give strength te the wrestler. Early Norsemen believcd tor centuries that Uic Mistietoe would give protection against bath bodi- ly aliments and evil spirits. A person wbe is born on Christ- mas will have power te sec and command spirits, according to a Scottisb belief. French peosants believe that babies boni on Christmas have the gift of prophecy. If a baby is bonn at sermon time on Christmas time in Middle Europe, it portends that semeone in the bouse will die within a year. Doughtera hemn in the Vosges, France, on December 25 will be wise, witty ond virtuous. A baby born on. Christmas in Silesia will beceme cither a law- yen or o thief. Girls in the oncient Ducby of Swavia seldom m-issed the oppor- tunity off ened by Christmas te look into thc future at their fu- ture husbands. On Christmas Bye tbey would go te the woodpile te draw sticks. If a girl pullcd o tbick stick, ber busband would be stout; if a long stick, be would be tail; if a crooked stick, he would be deformed. They would determine -the business ef their future busbands by dropping melted lead into a pan of cold water. Thé molten metal would form various shapes in coeling, and thus resemble Uic hxsigniaofo bis occupation: hammen shape, a carpenten; shoe shape, a cobbler. Every piece et lead resembled seme occupation te the oId wives. A moiden in Switzenland whe accepta a bunch of Edelweiss ot Christmas aise accepta the mon who proffers it. Ail animaIs in the Germon Alps con speak on Christmas Bye. It is belleved in the Nether- bonds that nothing sown on Christmas Bye will perish. Even seed sown in the snow will live. A Bobemian wif e will die with- in a year if she bunns a Christmas coke. To insune on abundont harvest i Denmark, some et the bread baked on Ch;ristmas is kept until sowing time, wben it is mixed with the seed. It is said that bread baked on Christmas in England neyer be- cornes moldy. Ashes must flot be thnown out on Christmas day iil seme sec- tions of Europe, for fear they might be thrown into the Sav- ior's face. Some familles in Scondinavia place all their shoes together on Cbristmas. This will cause theni te live in barmony througbout the year.
