THE TREE.
Superstitions Regarding the Influence
Of the Elder.

Country people speak of the elder
tree as "the witches tree and
planted 1t near farm buildings and
diaries to keep off witches. They also
say that the roots should never come
neal a we'll, still less grow into it, or
the water will be spoiled. Evelyn's
opinion was also unfavorable. He
says: II do by no means commend the
scent of it, which is very noxious to
the air.
1--WE learn from Biesius that a GER
tain house in Spain, seated among
many elder trees, diseased and killed
nearly all its 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.
Carriers often placed branches on their
horses heads to keep off flies. Moth
ing will grow we'll in the company Of
the elder, and when it has been re-
moved and all its roots carefully
grubbed up it is some few years be-
fore the ground becomes perfectly
sweet and good for anything.
The berries, besides feeding the
birds, make excellent country wine,
delicious with soda water in summer
or taken hot in winter. The wood is
particularly good for skewers, and the
curious jews red fungus grows on ell
der stumps. A species Of elder in the
Tyrol is covered with beautiful scar
let berries.-Selborne's Magazine.

hair and CHASTITY pallor no one would
blame a girl for touching up her face
to prevent a sickly look. If cues
liver refuses to act and sudden sallow-
ness confronts one for an important
function, what harm Is there in bring
ing art to the rescue?
The thing Is it must be art, art so
high that 1t seems nature. The rea-
son rouging has fallen into discredit
Is because it is generally badly done.
Many women show as much discrim-
ination in painting their cheeks as If
they were doing a tin roof. They use
cheap rouges, have no knowledge OF
anatomy, or light and shade, and
never think of toning down edges
with cotton or a dash Of powder.
Art fully understood Is never in
bad taste If 1t becomes a necessity.
But that is quite different from girls
with the freshness of youth blonding
their hair and rouging until they
would be shocked at the impression
they create. $3.50.
All women, girls especially, should
try diet, exercise and regular living
as beauty makers before resorting to
more questionable means. The flush
of health and the bright eyes and
clear skin that follow an active life
full of wholesome interests are much
more charming than any rouge, kohl
or peroxide, however artistically ap-
plied.-New York Press.

Newest Umbrellas.

The correct size for women this

Colors are fashionable, and dark
red, dark green, taupe and odd look
ing grays are the most popular.
To have a harmony, or an interest
ing contrast, with the gown, dull
looking old rose and catawba shades
may be had, with long handles deco
rated in gold, silver and ivory.
Long, slender handles of silver are
neat and suitable to any time of day
and any costume.
Mother of pearl handles or insets
are out of favor, having given place
in most cases to ivory.
There are also handles of carved
lockwood, as we'll as handles of more
eccentric design; carved animal
heads for example, with mock jewels
for eyes.
The rods and ribs of the umbrellas
for women are so fine that when the
umbrella is closely rolled 1t can hard
ly be distinguished from a walking
cane.
The hook handles are especially
serviceable, and not expensive when
made of gun metal. New haven

Canal an Aid to Matrimony.

Mrs. Jacob McGavock Dickinson
wife of the Secretary Of War, VINO
has recently returned from the Canal
Zone, says her visit was a most en-
t~ertaining experience, and she IS one
of the most travelled women in pub
lie life. She took an absorbing inter-
est in the Government laundry and
social organizations which are trying
to amuse the diggers. Like other WIS.,
ttors to the zone, she found the
amusement problem the most d1t1cult
which the projectors of the canal
have on hand. Reading clubs, or
chestras, lecture courses, all are do
ing a part in keeping the workmen
contented, but still they miss the
pleasures of civilization. A year or
two in Panama inclines the mosc
hardened bachelor toward matri-
mony Mrs. Dickinson was told by
women in Colon. Many youths ask
for leave of absence to go home n
get married, which is granted. 1t
would seem a good policy If when a
man marries he is permitted to go
home with his wife after serving a
year and be replaced by a bachelor.
This might adjust the problem or
more women than men in New Eng
land.-'-New York Press.

YOUTH.

Don't you recall when apples grew,
Oh, twice as big as now?
When fish, however they were few,
Were monster ones somehow!
When Gaines mill-dam made a roar
AS though the water hurled
Were gathered in a mighty store
From all the wide, wide world?
Don't you remember when the treas,
The oak trees and the beech,
Were lost in clouds on days like these
And eyes could hardly reach
Their waving tops? When MONDAY skies
Were oh, such deeper blue.
When Jacks great bean stalk IN our eyes
Just grew and grew and grew!
And there were bells, so more than fine,
Of blue and white and red,
Upon the morning glory vine
That climbed up on the shed,
To be a wonder and delight,
So fresh and full of dew,
To bud and D in q night
I see them now-don't you?
Don't YOU remember when the caves
Were thick and full of gloom,
Where captive maidens, once, like slaves,
Where chained in some damp room!
When twilight rustling in the brush
Was some fierce beast? A cow
It was, but cows at dusk are-Hush!
I think I hear one now.

Come, take a little trip with me,
Forget the things that fret,
For YOU may close your eyes and see
Some things that I forget: =,

And I have seen where violets bloom
So blue! So blue! So blue!

AS to Opium.

Although the consumption of OPT
UNI to excess by members of the
white races is harmful in a high de-
gree to body and mind, the effect OF
the drug upon the Far Eastern races
is a point concerning which no such
dogmatic statement can be made. OF
course, there are to be found in Asia
among the native population thou
sands of men and women who are
slaves to the habit and who are
thereby demoralized in mind and
ruined in constitution. On the other
hand, there are immense numbers
of people who while accustomed to
take opium daily consume the drug
in moderate quantities and exhibit
no evil effects from the practice. In
deed, Mr.. Rudyard Kipling some
years ago stated that in his belief
the moderate consumption of opium
did good rather than harm to the
native population of India. In fact,
the consumption of opium by the
Asian people may be compared not
inaptly to the consumption of alco-
hol by the Europeans. Both have
through generations of practice &C.
quired a certain immunity to the
drugs. This, however, does not
prove that alcohol and opium are not
harmful but that narcotics of any
description exert an especially ma.
lign influence upon virgin soil. This
consumption of opium by white peo-
pie is invariable attended with the
most disastrous consequences and
every available step should be taken
to discountenance and put down the
habit.-Madical Record.

A Generous Soul.

At a railway station Of a certain
Alabama town a number Of passen-
gers, who were waiting for a train
long overdue, had distributed them
selves on the platform, their feet
hanging thereaver.
Presently there came along a ma
tive, a sour-faced individual, with a
rope in his hand. It subsequently
tr~anspired that he was looking for a
stray mule. He came out of the bush
opposite the station and stood for
some time looking up and down the
tracks. Then he directed his gaze to
the grouE of waiting passengers on
the platform with their feet hanging
over. He regarded them listlessly
for quite a while, then suddenly he
called out:
Hey, there! YOU ALL"
What is it," demanded some one,
startled by the sudden cry.
Hist your feet"
This injunction to hist" was COM
piled with by all with alacrity, for,
as they looked down over the plat
form, they perceived a big rattle
snake just coiling for a strike. A
handy grindstone was dropped on the
reptile, despatching it, of course, and
one of the men thanked the native
for his timely warning.
The latter smiled grimly.. 81 don't
s'pose I deserve much thanks" he
said, "but some men who have lost a
mule an been huntin' for it for three
days would have been kinder emery
bout that snake. However, gents,
there amt nuthin' mean bout mel"
-Harper's Weekly.
