OF the old houses of New England
no one has so we'll Withstood the st forms
OF time as has the house at Haverhill
which was built during the seventeenth
century by the great-grandfather of
the poet. The house which stands to-
day is fine specimen of the architec-
ture of the first settlers of the country.
No house was in sight when the sturdy
old Puritan broke ground for his
dwelling, and in the fall of 1902 there
was no other house in sight. No sound
broke the stiIll ess except the birds and
the rustic Of leaves, altho in 1902 the
rumble Of the electric between Haver-
hill and Amesbury had tendency to
disturb the peacefulness of a locality
rich in tradition.
When thirty-three years of age WHIT
tier went to Amesbury to stay. The
house was not what he wished but it
was all he could pay for with the wages
received from the Anti-Siavery Society
in whose service he had engaged. The
friends of the cause became his friends,
and it is said fat the pinch of poverty
was relieved again and again by the
thoughtfulness of some devoted ad-
mirer.
A notable instance of this occurred
when an English philanthrOpist the fee
of slavery, was in America. Visiting
the poet at his home, the generous
Rriton saw the financial embarrassment
of his host. A few weeks later he
caused to be sent the poet check for
several thousand dollars. With this
money Whittier made needed additions
to his house.
/ While he called Amesbury "home,'
paid his taxes there, voted there, and
/ was buried there, he often spent long
periods elsewhere. During the life OF
his mother and as long as his sister
lived, Whittiel's love of his own helG
him to the house in Amesbury, anC
even until the marriage of his niece
who had taken the place of his siste
in the household, the poet might b.
, safely addressed at Amesbury. A
this crisis in his domestic affairs, how
ever, Whittier was welcomed by tn
, granddaughters of his uncle, to Dan
, yers, welcome which he was glad t
accept.
"Oak Knoll" the name given to thei
: place by the poet, is rich in historic az
: sociation; its past inter ested him.. Bu

Her Choice.

They were slsters-in-law and reason ably well disposed toward each other, One was the mother of George, aged six months. and the other was the mother of Marian, aged six months and four days It was impossible that a slight parental rivalry should be al- together concealed.
 Marian does not seem to grow very fast" said the mother of George, with suggestion of commiseraton In her tones. George is much taller Cheight being measured in inche9.
 Perhaps he is,"rcplied the mother of Marian coldly, "but Marian weighs more"
 "Oh. we'll" responded the sister-in- law, with a smile of high bred su- perlority, "Of course l should not wish George to be gross" "-EZchange.

The witohsg' Tree.

Country people speak of the elder tree as "the witches tree" and planted 1t near farm buldings and dalrles to keep or witches. They also say that the roots should never come near well, still less grow Into 1t, or the water will be spoiled. Evelyn's opinion was also unfavOrable. Be says: q do by no means commend the scent of 1t, which Is very nOxIOus to the air.
 eve learn from Biesius that a cer- tain house in Spain, seated among many elder trees, diseased and killed nearly all It's inhabitants, which, when at last they were grubbed up, became a very healthy and wholesome place"
 Cattle scarcely touch the elder, and the mole is driven away by the scent Carters often place branches on their horses heads to keep of files. Noth- ing will grow well in the company of the elder, and when it has been re- moved and all it's roots carefully grubbed up 1t Is some few years be fore the ground becomes Wrfectly sweet and good for anythlng.-sel- borne's Magazine.

THE MOON.
lts Visual sizO No Greater When It IS
 Hioh Than When lt 10 Low.

Hish Than When lt Is Low.
 The artist has to choose between sci entifc truth and convention" when he sets out to paint the moon. A three penny piece fixed at a distance of six feet from the eye (say at the end of a horizontal six foot pole, the other end of which is made to press the lower edge of the eye sockeO will just cover the disk of either the sun or the moon hanging in the sky. It is an absolute fact that this is true whether the moon tor the sum be high in the sky or low down near the horizon.
 The real visual size" of the moons disk is no greater when 1t is low than when 1t is high No one who reads what I have just written will believe me. Every one thinks that he knows that the disk of the harvest moon or of the setting sun occupies a larger space in the sky when low than when high. This is due to a judgment or mental process and is an erroneous one. The eye is not at fault, but the curiously unuustworthy mind is.
 What, then. is Che painter to do? He yields to prejudice and often paints the low moon or low sun of a size which compared with scientific fact is rldlcuIously ex0ggerated.-Sir D. Ray Lankester In London Telegraph.
