Tho Witches' Tree.
Country people speuk of the elder
tree as "the witches' tre?" and
planted it near farui bulftHng* and
dairies to keep off witches. They also
say that the roots should never come
near a well, still less grow Into It, or
the water will be spoiled. Evelyn's
opinion was also unfavorable. He
says: "I do by no means commend
the scent of It, which Is very noxious
to the air.
"We learn from Bleslus that a cer
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 tho scent
Carters often place branches on their
horses' heads to keep off flies. Noth
ing will grow well in tho company of
the elder, and when it has been re
moved and all Its roots carefully
grubbed up It is somo few years be
fore the ground becomes perfectly
sweet and good for anything.? Sel
home's Magazine.
THE MOON.
Ita Viiual Size No Greater When It Is
High Than When It Is Low.
The nrtlst lias to choose between sci
entific truth nn<l "convention" when
he sets out to point the moon. A three
penny piece fixed at n 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 tho lower
edge of the eye socket) 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 (or the sun) be high In the sky
or low down near tho horizon.
The real "visual size" of the moon's
disk is no greater when it is low than
when It is high. No ono who reads
what I have Just written will believe
me. Every one thinks that he knows
that tho disk of the harvest moon or of
tho 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. Tho eyo is not at fault, but the
curiously untrustworthy mind Is. " -
What, then, Is the painter to do? He
yields to prejudico and often paints
the low 'moon or low. sun of a size
which compared with scientific fact Is
ridiculously exaggerated.? Sir E. Ray
Lankester in London Telegraph.
Her Choice.
They were sisters-in-law and reason
ably well disj>oscd toward each other. i
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.
"Marlau does not seem to grow very
fast," said the mother of George, with
a suggestion of commiseration In her
tones. "George Is much taller"?
(height being measured in inches).
"Perhaps he is, "replied the mother
of Marian coldly, "but Marian weighs
more."
"Oh. well," responded the sister-in
law, with a smile of high brod su
periority, "of course I should not wish
George to bo gross."? Exchange.
A Frank Estimate.
To many persons who are not actors
the stage seems a delightful aud fas
cinating place. In n book called "Tho
Actress" Louise Closser Hale, herself
an actress, tells tnojiie cf her experi
ences with girls who envy her her pro
fession. One day one of them from
behind a counter in a shop said, "I
should have went on the stage."
"She evidently wanted to talk, and 1
strove to bo interested," says Miss
Hale.
"But see how tired I am," I said to
her. "I have to work very hard as It
is, and I had to work much harder to
gain what little recognition I have
had."
"Oh, yes," she responded, compla
cently gazing at herself In a mirror.
"But, you see, I have talent"

The Old Mistake.
