oid Chestnut in Washington Sup
 posed to Have Unusual Powers,

Have you ever sat under the be- nisn shade of Washington's wishing tree?
 It has been one of the unique at fractions of Lafayette park for, To- these many years It is not de- scribed in the official guide books but it is there just the same. and has been ever since the square was laid out-in the 4Gs. The tree itself is dwarf chestnut. although it has grown cut of its dwarfness to a great extent. It is d scion of the famous wishing tree in Hyde park, London. It is located immediately west of the Jackson statue. about twenty-five feet and is @D full sight of the White House.
 The wishing tree. as it's name indi- cates. possesses rare powers, or at least it is supposed to, in that every wish that is made under it's branches comes true some time or other Gen eraily it is other, but that does not seriously interfere with the reputation of the tree.
 There is no particular form of wishing" said an oldest inhabitant re- gently. in discussing the tree, though the park attendant told me many years ago that most of the wishers went up close enough to the tree to

put their hands upon it's lower limbs The wish must not be spoken and must not be divulged
 About forty years ago I was di- rected by the editor of the Daily Chronicle of Washington, on which paper I was then a young reporter to explode the stories about the tree; to show that they were the rankest kind of superstition, and that wishes under an iron lamppost or anywhere else were just as likely to come true
 'I proceeded to do the exploding and was perfectly satisfied that there was a perfect explosion. And so was the editor, Colonel Robert Ingersoll, who for many years lived in. house which faced the wishing tree He became interested in it. and in his many lectures on Superstition he did a great deal more exploding.
 My first personal experience with the tree was when James Buchanan was president. The Prince of Wales the king of England now-was the royal visitor Miss Harriet Lane, a niece of the president. walked through the park with the prince one evening on the way to the residence of Lord Lynn. then the English minister at Washington, only a couple of blocks distant from the White House.
 ''On their way they passed under the wishing tree, and Miss Lane told the prince its story. and that it was of Hyde park and English stock He became enthusiastic and on her chal-

Then lift the nands. placing them palm to palm. and interlsce the thumbs. The hands should then be raised straight up over the head, st the same moment inhaling deeply.

lcnge went under the tree grasped one of it's branches firmly and de- voutly made a wish.
 T have seen other royal visitors under the tree, notably the >-Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, who recently passed away; King Kalakaua of the Sandwich Islands, during General Grants administration
 T have been told that Abraham Lincoln, when president of the United States. went personally to the tree one night for some of it's leaves with which to make q draught for his third son, William Wallace Lincoln. the little fellow who died in the White House only a short time prior to the assassination of the president
 This tree figured in another way in President Lincoln's life, for it was evidenced during the assassination trial that Atzerodt, Payne and Dave Harold spent most of the afternoon preceding the tragedy in the seat under the tree. From this seat the best view is obtained of what is taking place on the outside of the White House.
 "Singularly enough, it. was in evi- dence during the trial of that crazy vagabond. Charles J. Guiteau, that he. too, had spent a great deal of time during the five days that he declared he was under an inspiration to kil, President Garfield in that identical News.

Physical Exercise An Aid to Beauty.

 Health determines more largely than admitted the beauty of the woman. Ex- ercises must Se in the direction o: body development The body must be taught to carry its various parts and move with perfect balance and equilibrium. Physi- clans say that one of the first things to learn is to sit and stand correctly. h. correct standing and sitting pastures have been known to cause curvature of the spine. if not predisposing to lung trouble. Crossing the limbs when reading or sew ing Is also bad on the health, if habitual. The arteries and veins become compressed and often cause disease. The vulgar ten- dcncy can easily be corrected by having foOtstool handy. ard it is needed in most cases on account of the fact that the average chair is entirely too high Half Of the defects in sitting can be blamed or the unsuitable condition of the chairs.
 A'good standing drill is to stand with the back against a board partition fin such a way that the back. head, shoul- ders. elbows. palms end heels press against it. Then wheel and face the par tition, when. If this is done correctly. only the bus; ard the tip of the nose touch the wnii The two quite simple movements g.ve. free space for the lung expansion.
