Martin Luther's Beech Tree.

At short distance from Castle Alien
stein, in a lovely valley, opens the path
which Martin Luther Travelled on that
eventful 4th Of May, 1921, while going
from Mohra to Wittenberg, and where,
by agreement, he was surprised by armed
force and taken to the Wartburg. The
occurrence was soon after commemorated
and the particular spot rendered forever
recognizable by the planting OF beech
tree, for centuries since known as the
Luther beech" The tree nobly braved
the storms and defied the tooth Of time
until the early part Of this century, when
nenrly one half fell to the ground, another
portion was destroyed by lightning In
1871, and the remaining stump, pro
tected by an iron fence, still leafed until
last year. The past winter killed this last
remnant, which still holds its place I'm
the ground, surrounded by lilac bushes.

always been mystery what became oI
Jenny Lind's marvellous vocal organ, for
IL is rare that the pOssessor of such gift
should persist through so many years in
keeping it to herself. Perhaps, like the
mother Of Adclina Patti, whose voice was
said to be never SO good after the birth Of
her wonderful child, Nine. Goldschmidt
transferred her vocal powers, in a meas
ure, to her offspring. In that case the
appearance of Miss Lind Goldschmidt will
