In front of Molly, the path, deep in silvery orchard grass, wound through the pasture to the witch-hazel thicket at Jordan's Journey; and when she entered the shelter of the trees, Gay came, whistling, toward her from the direction of the Poplar Spring.
Next in force to this witch-hazel are the shoots of the almond tree, and, lastly, the peach and swamp willow. The proper time to manufacture a Magic Wand is whenever you can find the person who is able to do the work.
The divining rod was a simple means of locating water, and it had been in common use through the ages, especially in arid regions. It was used in some instances to locate other underground deposits. These rods were pronged branches, sometimes of willow, but preferably of witch-hazel or wild cherry.
Third, its curious golden-thread flowers appear in the fall. As Cracked Jimmy used to sing: Witch-hazel blossoms in the fall, To cure the chills and fevers all. Two Little Savages. On November 16, 1919, after a sharp frost, I went out in the morning to get some Witch-hazel flowers for this drawing, and found them blooming away in the cold air, vigorously as ever.
A dog crossing the hunter's path spoiled his day, unless he instantly hooked his little fingers together, and pulled till the animal disappeared. They were familiar with the ever- recurring mystification of the witch-hazel, or divining-rod; and the "cure by faith" was as well known to them as it has since become in a more sophisticated state of society.
He, however, made shift to scramble up its sides, working his toilsome way through thickets of birch, sassafras, and witch-hazel, and sometimes tripped up or entangled by the wild grapevines that twisted their coils or tendrils from tree to tree, and spread a kind of network in his path.
I offered sympathy and witch-hazel, but she would have none of my offerings, and presently returned to her pies. "We can't eat all that pastry," I protested. "Professor Farrago said they were not for us to eat," she said, dusting each pie with powdered sugar. "Well, what are they for? The dog? Or are they simply objets d'art to adorn the shanty " "You annoy me," she said.
"Your own sore muscles be upon yourself then, little roommate," said Helen smiling. "I have warned you. All that is left for me is to offer the use of my witch-hazel and arnica." "I will not have Edna Bucher substitute," cried Renee coming up. "I am glad Hester has grit enough to keep to it. This evening we must make a score."
Some trees try to hide their troubles, and quickly cover up their wounds; but the Aspen has a very touchy skin and, once it is wounded, it shows the scar as long as it lives. We can, therefore, go to any Aspen tree, and have it tell us the story of its life. Here is the picture of one. Now, last of all, the paper on which this story is printed was likely made out of Aspen wood. The Witch-hazel
These are the things to make you remember the Witch-hazel; its forked twig was used nay, still is used as a magic rod to show where there is running water underground; that is, where it is possible to find water by sinking a well. Its nuts are explosive, and go off with a snap, shooting the seeds that are inside, ten or twenty feet away, when the cold dry days of autumn come.
