Alter Christmas 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 You can buy the latest Magazines nt Peniston’s Drug Store January numbers of all the leading magazines are now on sale.

"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, even If you were suffering from noth ing more serious than a scratched ear, and you were sorry you hadn’t led a better life. He’d tiptoe In with a face that reached from his forehead to his knees, clear his throat, whisper to moth er, tako out his watch, feel for your pulse nnd gaze gloomily Into space—the spnclest, farthest away space ever.

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 ■been neeessnry.

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.
