HISTORY OF A FAMOUS OLD ELM
DESTROYED BY THE WIND.
This Celebrated Tree, Believed to
Have Existed Before the Settlement
of the City, Wns Blown Down In
the Great Storm of INTO.
Feb. IB, 1870, was a sad day for lo
cal historians In Boston, for the news
papers announced the next day that at
about. 7 o'clock the previous evening
the old elm on Boston Common had
been destroyed by a groat storm which
swept over the city at that time. Bo
many eulogies, both oral and written,
were delivered on this most ancient of
Boston's landmarks, and It was real
ized that a connecting link with the
remote pust was gone forever.
It Is not known when the tree began
to grow, but an old Boston tradition
wns that the wife of Thomas Hancock,
the eminent merchant, who was Lydia
Henchman before her marriage, claim
ed that her grandfather, Ilezckluh
Henchman, planted the tree when he
was n boy. This would have made the
tree Just ‘JOO years old at the time of
its destruction.
It Is probable that some of the many
persons ou record as being publicly
executed ou Boston Common looked ou
the fair world for the last time when
standing beneath its branches, for It
was one of the largest trees, if not the
largest, In the town, and it stood on
Its outskirts, and also In 1722 It must
have been a prominent object In Bos
ton, for Bonner's map of the town,
published in that year, shows It as a
feature.
In 1825 the first recorded measure
ment of the old elm, showed Its di
mensions to be as follows: Height, 65
feet; circumference, 21 feet 8 Inches at
2 feet 6 Inches from the ground, und

"Professional men do some tilings
better thun they used to,” droned an
attorney who doesn't practice 1C he can
help It.
"That Is,” he went on to explain,
“professional men don’t do some things
they once did, and I think they're the
better for It. There was a time, when
I was growing up, when they advertis
ed their calling by means of their
dress. You could pick out n clergy
man as far as you could see him, und
It was much the same with lawyers.
Nowadays preachers and pleaders
wear raiment which makes them look
like prosperous business men or high
toned sports, and they seem to bo
more approachable nnd companionable,
whether they are or not,
“But the greatest change In this re
spect has taken place umong the phy
sicians, not so much their clothes, per
haps, ns their manner. I enn remember
when the old fashioned doctor entered
a sickroom you felt that the Jig was up,

and you were sorry you hadn’t led a

Then he’d whisper to mother again,

Nenrly nil our vegetables and herbs
appear, originally to have passed
through some preliminary stage in the
laboratory of the medical herbalist be
fore being admitted to the full honors
of tl» kitchen. The fact is hot so
strange as It might at first sight ap
pear, and Its results have certainly
been to the general advantage of man
kind, for. though for the most part the
old herbalist's prescriptions were of a
kind neither to klll nor cure, Ills luves
tlgntlons of the specific qualities of
plants were often useful. The ancients
seem to have regarded sage as an herb
of first Importance to the physician,
nnd the ninny traditions concerning It
refer almost entirely to this aspect of
the plant. “Why should a man die
who has sage In Ills garden?” was one
of the maxims of the famous school of
health at. Salerno, The belief In Its vir
tues survived through the middle ages
ami tvas handed down With unimpaired
vitality to quite modern times. The
writers of the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries were full of Its praises,
and there was hardly an ailment of
mind or body for which sage was not
pronounced a cure or an alleviation.
Tlience sprung the Idea that as It was
thus generally wholesome and recom
mended by the faculty the housewife
might prudently admit a dried winter
supply to her storeroom. And so this
“sovereign herb” gradually found Its
way Into the kitchen, of which It lias
ever since remained nil Indispensable
adjunct; not that It nt once lost all Its
medical attributes, “lie that would live
for aye must e ri sage In May” runs the
proverb. But the rooks soon began to
take broader views. They pronounced
I sage to be equally savory and salu
tary all the year nrnund nnd of special
nnd peculiar value nt the season of Mi
chaelmas,
But this Is advancing mntterH. Even
the best of things eatable have had to
! overcome prejudice nnd slowly make
their wny, nnd In the ense of mere cori-
; eomltants some help from the encour-
' aging hand of fashion has generally

of the tree that “this pride of our Com

larger thnn in 1825, Its height being
figured at seventy-five feet. This
showed that It was still growing in Its
extreme old age.
The first serious damage the tree re
ceived was In IS,'12, when the largest of
its limbs was so rent asunder that
three branches rested on the ground,
but at much cost and labor they were
replaced in tlielr former positions and
held together by Iron rods and bolts.
The great gale in June, I860, Injured
the tree to such un extent that Its for
mer symmetry wns destroyed, and at
this time the cavity In the trunk was
filled with several loads of materlnl.
On one of the branches which were
torn off nt the time 190 rings were
counted, which indicated the great nge
of the tree.
The opening of the centennial year of
the republic, 1870, found the tree alive,
but decrepit, and It would probably
have been decorated on Evacuation
duy and the Fourth of July, but, as
stated at the beginning of this article,
Feb. 15 saw its destruction.
The old elm fell at 7:17 o’clock in tlio
evening, Its trunk pointing toward tha
Park Street church, and the force of
tbe fall shattered the trunk, while the
branches were scattered In every di
rection. The melancholy news spread
like wildfire through the city, and soon,
despite the storm, the fallen monarch
was surrounded by relic hunters. Arm
ed with saws, hatchets und knives,
they quickly detached pieces of the
branches to preserve as souvenirs. Per
sons were seen in tbe theaters laden
with boughs, and It was a common
sight that evening to see men in tho
streets carrying limbs several feet In
length and as large around as a stove
whin galloping lifts both forefeet to
gether und then both bind feet. Now,
the question Is how other animals man
age this matter. The birds, of course,
flup both wings together, but which
birds run and which hop? Wo liuinan
beings "trot” when we walk nnd “gal
lop” when we swim—that Is, If we are
using the plain breast stroke. The dog,
however, “trots” for both. Now, do
the amphibious animals—tbe seals, ot
ters and the rest—swim like men or
like other four fooled creatures?
Then there are the fish. One would
ruther expect that, ns they move their
tails from side to side, they would flap
alternately with the fins, which wre
tlielr hands und feet. Who can -tell
whether they do or not, und whether
all fish at ull times follow one rule?
By the way, how does a frog use Its
"hands?” The great anutomlst, E. Hay
Lnukester, has pointed ont that, while
the “thousand legs,” such as our com
mon galleyworm, advance two feet of
a pair together, the eentlpeds, which
are much like them, do exactly the op
posite, and the swimming worms also
alternate the stroko of each pair of
paddles.
