THE ELDER TREE.

For Epilepsy.


For Epilepsy.
Although tradition tells us that II
was on an elder tree that judas nahg-
ed himself, great virtue has long peen
attributed TO it as a cure for epilepsy.
The origin of this belief may be found
in the following quotation from an oid
book of charms:
I'm the month Of October, a little
before full moon, pluck a twig OF elder
and cut the cane that Is between TWO
of its knees, or knots, In nine pieces
Bind these pieces In piece OF hnen'

so that they touch the spoon OF the
heart. or the sword formed carthage
and that they may more firmly stay ID

The thread being broken and the rohei
removed the charm is not to be touch
cd at all with the bare hands, ou'
should be taken hold Of by some In
strument and buried in place tna'
nobody may touch It
OF course unless the Instructors
were followed strictly complete cur'
could not be assured. There Is another
superstition about the elder whici
doubtless has saved many boy
stout canlng-namely. that 1t hinders

THE PROSECUTED JEW.
He Is, IL Ia Claimed, the Most Spiritual
Man Alive.

'The Jew Is said to have what 10
known as the commercial Instinct"
said Oscar s. Stratus. "Hume tells US
that under Richard l. 800 Jews sought
safety In the castle Of York, where, not
being strong enough for defense, they
killed their wives and children, threw
the bodies over the walls into the mon
below and, setting fire to the Castle
were themselves burned alive. The
gentry owing money to the Jews has
tened to the cathedral. where their
bonds or promissory notes were KEPT
and made bonfire before the altar.

The Trolley Car.

Under favorable conditions the life
of a trolley car is twelve years. 1t re-
uuires constant care and repeated ex-
aminations. Its running apparatus
must be subject to an inspection once
or twice week, which is supplement-
ed by an occasional thorough overhaul
ing. The manager of New Jersey
company has estimated that on his
lines a new car may run an average
of about 100 days before it must be
overhauled, but cars operated in crowd
ed cities have a shorter term Of activ-
ity. about sixty days, before they go
into a "d0ctors' hands. AS the car
gets older it has to be Overhauled with
even greater frequency. These over
haulings require the removal OF the
trucks from the car body, the examina'
ton of the motors, the cleaning of the
armatures and a thorough test of the
machinery. In addition the car body
must be painted and vanished at least
once year.

Conceit of the BskimOs.

The missionaries tell me that the
Eskimos are a most conceited race
and that their opinion Of their musical
gifts is very high The first time
missionarys wife played on the piano
for them they exclaimed, "She plays
almost as we'll as We" This conceit
of the Eskimos makes the missionaries
task very difficult. What can teacher
accomplish when his pupils think they
know more than he? The Eskimos do
not even attempt to argue, but simply
shrug their shoulders and say with
q supercilious smile, THAT may be SO
In your opinion, but And SO, IN
spite of nearly 100 years Of religious
training, many of them are still only
quasi Christians, and the traveller may
still pick up curious bits of heathen
folklore among them. The mission
aries have, however, undoubtedly
wrought wonders, for to them Is due

made in this bowling wilderness. The
