HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evil' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting te
here review the history of thi:
impression. The Kings Evi
first appears in History just prio1
to the Twelfth Century whe,
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncine
a few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King Of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, etc., by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became uni
versally known as the Kings
Evil and is to-day sometimes al
luded to by that name. Such a
method of cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not sah-
tion this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tices of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse."
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings in our
circle Of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a

but one cure for the Kings Evil

cure is Marvelo. This marvel

RABBIT LUCK FOR FISHING.

S. P. Lazarus tells of an odd expert
ence which fell to his lot some time ago
while fishing for bass in one of the
northern lakes. while rowing the
boat across the lake." he says, 81 saw
something swimming in the water some
two hundred feet away. I overlook it,
and discovered a rather tired rabbit
swimming for dear life. I reached out
and gathered it in out of the wet, and
with piece of Irvine tied the rabbit to
the seat, where it sat in the sun per-
fectly quiet. 1t shivered for time,
but soon became warm and animated
I kept it in the boat the remainder of
the afternoon while fishing. Talk
about the hind foot of a churchyard
rabbit! 1t isn't in it with live four
footed rabbit. Bass began to bite, and
in short order I took in sixteen. When
I reached the shore the rabbit was re-
leased, when, with a wink of thanks, he
made a leap, and in an instant was out
of sight in the brush. / have told this
to quite a number of my friends and it
has never been doubted.''-St. Paul Pr

nation of Morris public career had
put an end to all hope that with his
wonderful skill there might still be
some way of keeping the capital here
longer. This, therefore served to make
the building comparatively valueless.
The picture of it and the meagre des-
criptions of it which have come down
to us show it to have been a large
structure, approached by q flight Of
steps leading to a spacious central
doorway, but with more of the out
ward appearance of a public hall than
OF private mansion. BY one COM
mentator it was called 'huge," by an
other ugly" for a committee of
citizens had something to do with
changing the original designs in ac-
cordance with their own highly orig
inal and elegant taste. All through
the Adams administration it seems to
have stood there unoccupied. There
had been talk of converting it into a
hotel. 1t was also proposed to make
1T the gubernatorial mansion of the
state. the capital of which had not
yet been transferred from Philadelphia
to Lancaster. But the members of the
legislature had no desire to make the
commonwealth responsible for an edi-
flee which it was said would cost four
times the salary of the governor to
maintain An inscription on it had
testified that it had been begun when
the state was out of debt, and the
problem was how to get rid of 1T with
out heavy loss to the public treas
ury. At this time the University of
Pennsylvania occupied the, old Acad-
envy building on Fourth street, and its
trustees saw the chance of closing a
good bargain with the state BY au-
thority of an act of the 18th of March,
1900, they purchased the Ninth street
property for $4,000, and there was be-
gun a new chapter in the career of the
university for the next seventy years.
There it remained until 1929, when it
was demolished to make way for the
building of the university which stood
there until the removal to West Phil
adelphia.-From the Philadelphia Bull

AN HISTORIC ELM OF CANTER-
BURY.


Shaded the Whipping Post, the Stocks
and the Sign POSTPAID Sheltered
Famous Abolitionists.
Josie hudson Hetrich of Canterbury,
writes under date of April %, to the
Norwich Bulletin:
II was interested some time ago in
what Rev. III. l.. Reade wrote about
the large trees to which he is attached,
and I thought perhaps he, as well as
others, would like to see little note
about the big elm which was for so
long a time, 1t may be even from its
founding, the pride and delight of the
people of historic old Canterbury. 1t Is
handed down by tradition that in the
young days of the great-grandfathers
Of the present generation it was a
large, handsome tree. Standing as 1t
did at the northwest corner of the
green it's shade fell over a large part
of that plot, making 1T a delightful
spot whereon the men of olden times
held their trainings.
Here my Clark ancetors for three
generations back of my grandfather
trained. Many persons here can say as
much as this and perhaps more. No
wonder we loved the old elm. Near by
1t and and under its shade stood the
stocks, the whipping post and the sign
post. No one here remembers seeing
the stocks used, though one or two re-
member seeing the implement of tor
ture as it used to stand. Several re-
member the days of the whipping post
and say that among the last times it
ha N
who was whipped for stealing.
Later on, when the abolition feeling
ran high and the people of the church
refused to let their building be used for
a meeting which they considered fam
atical, the meeting was held under the
shade of this tree, Rev. Samuel j. May,
Mr.. Arthur Tappan, the Burleigh
brothers and other prominent abolit-
ionists being present. 1t is said that
the pastor of the church, Rev. Walter
Clarke, advised his parishioners not
to attend this meeting and then re-
turned to the parsonage, and sitting
behind the closed blinds of an open
window, listened himself to what was
said. But this may be only a story.
Many years ago the old tree of pre-
cious memories began to show signs of
age and decay, and in order to preserve
it as long as possible a bolt was fas-
tened through it some fifteen or twenty
feet above the ground. This answered
the desired purpose until two years ago
this spring, when, during an unusually
severe storm about half of the tree
fell. Still, the people loved it and could
not bear to see the remainder remov-
ed. In another storm last fall large
part of what remained fell, and then it
gradually became evident to all that
what was then left was dangerous, and
by request of the society's committee
some of the members of the parish and
the substitutes of others gathered to-
gether and removed it. 1t was over
twentyfour feet around at the base of
the stump. Another elm has been
planted near where this one stood with
the hope that future generations may
enjoy it's shade.
