Where and How This Famous American Poem Was Written.

The wide-spreading pond, and the mill that stood by it, The bridge and the rock Where the cat- aract fell, The cot of my father, the dairy house nigh it, And e’en the rude bucket which hung in the well— 4 ,The old oaken bucket, bucket, The moss-covered bucket: which hung in the welll'.’ ‘ Samuel G. Woodsworth, says the. De- troit Free Press, holds his place in the memory and affection of the American people by a single poem. He wrote many others, but they have been for- gotten, while “The Old: Oaken Bucket” lives on, and will ever live because it appeals to the hearts of men and car- ries them back to the days of their child- hood. There is- in the poem the human and thesympathetic note. that, more than its beauty of construction, has given the poem lasting fame. Such sim- ple poems live when the higher and loftier strains of other poems have long been forgotten. As Samuel F. Smith will ever be remembered by his single song “America,” and Julia Ward Howe by "The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” so Samuel lVoodsworth will be remem- bered by “The Old Oa-ken Bucket.” The. author of this simple and tender song was 'born in Scituate, Mass, 21 short- distance. from Boston, on January 13, 1785, and he died in NewYork on‘Dc- cember 9, 1842.

Morris established the New York Mir- ror, but regular journalistic work may not have been to the liking of-Woods- worth, for he gave it up the following year and became a general writer of poems and sketches. He also wrote several operettas, none of which out- lived his own day. The circumstances under which W'oodsworth wrote “The Old Oaken Bucket” are interesting. He was Th New York at a hotel one. extremely warm day when an acquaintance of his, holding up a glass of beer said: “I tell you, Woodsworth, nothing can equal this on ahot day.” “Oh, yes, there can,” replied Woods- worth. “What. is it?” “NV-ell, a drink from the-_Old oaken bucket that hangs in the well at my home.” Mrs. Woodsworth, happening to over- hear her husband‘s words, said: “That would be a good subject for a poem, Samuel.“ “So it would,” he replied, and making a note of it. the poem was written and became. immediately. popular, as well it- might. It is the true interpretation of life on a New England farm. Scituate, the town in which Woods- worth lived. is a typical NewEngland town, noted for the number and beauty of its mighty elms. The visitor to the town may see still— “Thc deep-tangled wildwood." He may also see the very well in which Woodsworth's old oaken bucket hung. The old mill referred to in the 6 1h line of the poem may also be seen. The house in which the poet lived is not standing. but ‘bn its site house. always referred to as the “old oaken bucket house." Its great elms and vine-clad porch make a. pleasing picture in the summer time and many visitors come every year to the place to drink from “the old oaken bucket that hangs in the well.” [lent-mp; by .Animal Heat. In considering the problem of heat- ing the large department stores which are now to be found in nearly every big city it is well worth taking into ac- count the animal heat distributed by the many customers who come into ,such establishments. That this is con— siderable is evidenced by the experi- ence of at'lleast one engineer, who, in one suchcase, found that after 9:30 a. m. on a day in midwinter, with the thermometer at the freezing point, no other heat was needed to keep the place warm. An Extraordflnan-y Scheme. An extraordinary scheme has been mooted in India, namely, one for the construction of: a pneumatic tube line 4.000 miles in length between London and Bombay for the transportation of mails. The theory is that these could be thus conveyed from city to city in 24 hours. The engineering difficulties include the great height of some of the mountains to be crossed in Asia Minor and the maintenance of- power houses in remote places.

Gordon Kept His Engage- ment to Lecture Despite a Bad Accident. In Washington a few days ago Gen. John 13. Gordon told the story of a remarkable experience he had ten days ago. Said Gen. Gordon: » “I venture to remark that I did some- thing that not one of the youngsters, including Joe Wheeler, can do. I had an engagement to deliver my lecture on ‘The Last Days of the Confeder- acy,’ in a town near the border of Kan- sas and Nebraska. There was a foot of snow on the ground, and my only way to reach the place was by sleigh. “We started and all went well for several miles, until the driver struck something, and out I went with the sleigh right on top of me. When I tried to rise 1 found that my left arm had been wrenchcd clear out of the socket, and pulled down to a remark- able and painful extent. I never thought of anything but reaching my engagement, where 1,000 people were waiting to hear me. By good fortune I was near the house of a surgeon and in a few minutes after the accident he‘ was repairing my damage. While he doing that I sent for another sleigh two miles away. It came on time, and with such a spLendid pair of horses that I reached my engagement on the mo- ment. - “The rumor of my fall and injuries had preceded Inc and I never had a, more enthusiastic reception in my life. “My arm was pretty sore, but I never missed an engagement in that snow- bound region. How many young men do you know who could do that?” CHARACTER IN THE TONGUE. A Parisian Mademoiselle. Has Intro- duced This Novel Art, and Calls It Glosrsomancic. Glossomancic is a new “science,” in- troduced by a Miss Erbere No, of Paris, consisting of reading the character by the form and size of the tongue. The guiding principles are as follows: If the tongue is long it is an indication of frankness; if it is short, of dissimu- lation; if it is broad, ofvexpansiveness; if narrow, of concentration. When the tongue is both long and large it implies that the possessor is a great'gossip, frank to disagreeablencss, and thoughtless. If the tongue be long and narrow its owner is only half frank, thinking as much as is uttered, but not always uttering all that is thought. If the tongue be short and broad there is promise of plenty of gossip— und falsehoods; it talks a great deal, but says little of. what is really thought. If short and narrow it indicates deep cunningand lying; impenetrability and prudence. This tongue belongs to those persons always ready to make mis- takes, but eager to inspire confidence. So, the-n, not the physician alone is to 'be guided by the tongue, but before you become intimate with anyone, ask him or her to put out his or her tongue, that you may, be certain whether they are to be trusted or not. “oped to Be airs. Then. The professor was explaining to the class of young women the theory ac- cording to whiclrthe human frame is completely renewed every seven years.
