Art Of RESTING.

Many are the suggestions offered
IS to resting, for, strange as it may
seem few people understand the art
OF resting properly. Thorough rest
does not necessarily mean lying down
q sitting; it means to relax the en-.
IRE system, the mind and body. For
4 tired brain physical exercise is the
Aastf ptmedy rather than a resort to
aflss- r a brisk walk in the fresh
mr. can be taken so much the better.
A very good remedy for a weary brain
Q TO rise slowly on the toes Qifting
the heels from the floor until the
muscles at the calf of the leg ache,
and Their to kick vigorously a few
Dimes Repeat this simple exercise
several times and excellent results.

mensi0nS to be as follows: Height, 65
feet; circumference, 81 feet inches at
2 feet inches from the ground, and
the extreme diameter OF the branches
was So feet At this time 1t was said
Of the tree that this pride Of our Com
mon Is pronounced by judges to be as
handsome In form as it Is large In size
and venerable In age, and 1t may be
worth the remark, Notwithstanding all
the buneting It has received from
storms and hurricanes FOR more than
q century, Its original beauty and sym
metry have not been impaired, al
though 1t has at times lost many OF its
branches" s
The tree was accurately measured by
the city engineer Of Boston in 1856, and
It was found that 1t was considerably
larger than In 1926, it's height being
figured at seventy-fve feet. This
showed thSt it was still growing In its
extreme old age.
The first serious damage the tree re-
ceiyed was In 1882, when the largest sc
its limbs was SO rent asunder that
three branches rested on the ground,
but at much cost and labor they were
replaced In their former positions and
held together by iron rods and bolts.
The great gale In June, 1850, injured
the tree to such an extent that its for
mer symmetry was destroyed, and at
this time the cavity In the trunk was
filed with several loads Of material.
On one Of the branches which were
torn on at the time 100 rings were
counted, which indicated the great are
OF the tree. "a.
The opening Of the centennial year 81
the republic, 1876, found the tree alive.
but decrepit, and It would probably
have been decorated on Evacuation
day and the Fourth Of July, but, as
stated at the beginning Of this article.
Feb. 10 saw Its destruction.
The old elm fell at TIT O'Clock In the
evening, its trunk pointing toward the
Park Street church. and the force Of
the fall shattered the trunk. while the
branches were scattered In every d.
rection. The melancholy news spread
like wtldfre through the city, and soon.
despite the storm, the fallen monarch
was surrounded by relic hunters. Arm
ed with Jaws. hatchets and knives.
they quickly detached pieces OF the
branches to preserve % souvenirs. Per.
SONS were seen In the theaters laden
with boughs, and 1t was a common
sight that evening to see men In the
streets carrying limbs several feet III
length and as large around az stove
pipe. Much Of the tree was made into
veneer, and one book at least Of local
history has on its back cover large
vsneer from the tree. bearing on its
face 9 lifelike engraving Of the same.

incurred for its passing.
Or. Jerome Y. 9. Smith, mayor Of
the city In 1854. showed his interest IN
the old elm By having the tree care
