The old elms of Cambridge, Mass,
will always be dear to Americans for
their association with the great men
and the historical events of the Ma
ton.
The Washington elm, under which
Washington took charge of the Amer
lean Army, was found recently to need
more nourishment. Upon examination
it was discovered that the pavement
Of the street caused the water to flow
away from its roots. To overcome this
difficulty the commissioners decided to
surround the tree with a raised plot
of earth about eighty feet long and
sixteen feet wide at its widest part.
This has all been inclosed by curbing,
but it is not fenced in. The curbing is
raised about IN and one-half feet
from the ground. and the best quality
of loan has been used, so that the tree
receives ali the nourishment possible.
Under the shade of the old elms of
Craigie House, the home of Alice Long
fellow, Washington spent many an
hour, during his occupation of the
house as his headquarters, laying plans
which are now matters of history.
Later the same trees, grown older and
more rugged, gave inspiration to Long
fellow while he wrote his world re-
nowned poems.

From out of the haymow echoes the
homely cackle of busy "biddies" lining
their nests with two-cent eggs. The
wheel tire creaks a shrill melody on
the frosty track, while the roadside
wires, linking the farmstead to the
throbbing heart of the great, busy
world, keyed to Aeolian pitch, fill the
air with rhythm. The bouquet of rich,
pure ozone is in the air. 1t races
through the veins, mounts to the brain,
sparkles in the eye, and bursts from
the lips in laughter and shouting.
Sing, if you please, the beauties Of the
tropics, of teeming, swarming life, Of

some trouble arising from a derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular menstrual
ton, leucorrhoea, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness? There is a tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other reme-

For thirty years it has been curing
the worst forms of female COM

Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.

Birth of the Moon.

Year by year the moon Is getting a
few inches nor distant. Prof. George
Darwin has shown that long, long ago
the o revolved close to the earth,
and still earlier formed part of this
globe. From that time to the present
he calculates at least 5000, 600 years
must have elapsed. The birth of the
moon took place, therefore, somewhere
about that date in the past.
Sir Robert Bail observes that when
the moon was near to us its attraction
must have produced enormous tides.
many times greater than those that
wash our shores to-day. and he sug-
gested that these tides, by their DOW
erful erosions and wasting of the land.
accelerated the geological forces and
so reduced the tremendous periods

CONDITIONS IN TRADE.

Sanguine Expectations.

New York City.-Discussing present
conditions in trade Dun's Review says:
"Some disturbance has been caused
by the elements, but business condi-
tons are otherwise unusually satisfac-
tory for the season. Distribution OF
merchandise is of liberal proportions,
and the new year is fulfilling sanguine
expectations. Low temperature and
storms interrupted traffic to some ex.
tent, but accelerated business in heavy
wearing apparel, overshoes and fuel.
Manufacturing is still the best feature,
especially in the various departments
of the iron and steel industry, while
textile mills and shoe shops are wen
engaged, Some conservatism is noted
in the placing of advance orders, but
this is a favorable symptom; indicating
the absence of reckless operations that
produce inflated prices. and ultimately
cause excessive accumulation of stocks.
