" ' AGENTS WANTED THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET. Subject of Woudnorlli'a Famous I'of m Soicgestett by Mo»-Uronn Well on 111* Father's Farm. Many of the most popular songs and poems have not been the result of labored and thoughtful effort, but of some sudden impulse. "Tlie Battle Hymn of the Republic" was the re sult of a sudden inspiration of Mrs. Howe's. S. F. Smith had no idea, when he penned the. lines of"America," that he was writing the one poem that would be remembered when all else that he had written would be for gotten. Samuel VVoodworth did not think very much of"The Old Oaken Bucket" when he wrote the poem of that title in the summer of 1817, and it would have grieved him had he known that his lasting fame was to rest upon the simple lines. The other writings of VVoodworth fill several large volumes, and he has been eulogized as a poet by such men as Webster, Irving, Chan ning and Sir Walter Scott, but to-day very few could name any one of his poems except "The Old Oaken Bucket." There was at one time a foolish etory afloat that Woodworth wrote this, beautiful poem in a saloon, but nothing could be further from the fact. He wrote the poem in his own home in Duane street, New York. One Tery warm day in midsummer, when he had walked home to his dinner, he drank a glass of water as soon as he had sat down to the table. Putting down the emptj' glass, he said to his wife: "That is refreshing, but how much more refreshing would it be to take a good, long draught this warm day from the old oaken bucket I left banging in my father's well at home!" Mrs. Woodworth replied: "Why, Samuel, wouldn't that be a good sub ject for a poem?" Woodworth reflected for a moment, end then said: "So it would. 1 must THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET. (It Hung by the Well in Massachusetts Here Pictured.) make use of the idea right away." Be fore the day was done, "The Old Oaken Bucket" was written, the original title being simply "The Bucket." Samuel Woodworth was born in the old town of Scituate, Mass., 30 miles from Boston, in the year 1789, and the old well that suggested the fa mous poem was on his father's farm. This well may be seen to-day just as it was when the poet ift his boyhood days drew water from it in the "moss covered bucket." One may see also "The wide-spreading pond, and the mill that stood by It, The bridge, and the rock where the cat aract fell." It is said that the old mill looks very much as it did when VVoodworth, as a barefooted boy, played round it."The cot of his. fathers*" is no longer stand ing. It has given place to a some what modern house, whose inhabitants drink water from the well that so often slaked the thirst of the man whose lines have made it the most famous well in all America. Hundreds of strangers visit the old well every year and drink from the water that still bubbles up from its inexhaustible springs. Some carry away with them little bottles of the water to keep as souvenirs.—Morris Marlowe, in Well spring. Ornament* for (he Neck. Neck ornaments are particularly pretty. The flat plaited white and colored mousseline boas more resem ble shoulder fichus, being invariably bordered with mousseline roses or velvet rose leaves applique at the edge of the mousseline kilting. Ends of black ribbon velvet or strands of jet beads finish the fronts. Others of tulle, forming ruches turning down from the hair, are embellished by long pompadour silk stole ends trimmed with large steel buttons. Effective et-ceteras are always an im portant item on a Parisian toilet, and some of the latest cravats and boas are particularly attractive this sea son. Spotted kilted white mousseline trimmed with lace, pompadour rib bon latticed on net, colored bebe rib bon velvet gathered up into rosettes in front of neckbands and embroid ered lawn and linon soie collarettes are among the most popular acces sories.

DUCHESS OF ARGYLL. Prince** l.ontae, Kln« F.dnard'a Fa vorite Sinter. Ileeply Intereated In Philanthropy. King Edward's favorite sister, Lou ise, duchess of Argyll, has come to the front lately with her characteristic in terest in philanthropy. The Interna tional congress for the welfare and protection of children, held in London in July, and in which delegates from the United States have taken so prom inent a part, enlisted the cordial sup port of Princess Louise, and, through her, of the king. When the princess wrote to the committee, who were ar ranging the congress, that she would be its patron, she delighted its pro moters by expressing also her royal brother's willingness to allow his ■■ LOUISE. DUCHESS OF ARGYLL. name to be used with hers, as sponsor for the gathering. Its prestige has therefore been great. Princess Louise acts with her broth er frequently. The two are close friends, and the king is said to like particularly this sister's unostenta tious life and bearing. So fond of be ing a private person is Princess Louise that for 15 years she had not given her photograph to be published. Princess Louise is perfectly at home with people who are devoting them selves to helping little children, which is all the more notable from the fact that she has none of her own. Hos pitals for youngsters are her hobby. It must be admitted, however, that she is a lady of many hobbies, for she is an artist, both sculptor and illus trator, an omnivorous reader, fre quently a traveler incognito, a curio collector, a bargain hunter, is deft with her needle and can cook. Queen Victoria's journal contains numerous references to the versatility of her daughter Louise and the English cer tainly recognize in her the handsomest as well as the cleverest of"the late queen's girls." Princess Louise learned with pleas ure of the progress made in the oral system for teaching deaf children in America, as compared with the sign method. She considers the oral meth od a remarkable development and hopes for its further adoption in Eng land. Miss Garrett, of Philadelphia, has been in attendance on the congress with several of the deaf children from her oral school, giving practical dem onstrations of the oral system. PLEASING PRESENCE. Woman'* Mind and Body Should Work in Harmony to Develop Personal Grace. How often we meet well-meaning women in our daily travels here and there, on the street, in the home, in society, who, in one way or another, present an awkward appearance. They may have a sweet manner but an un gainly walk, a pretty face but an in correct posture, a pleasing voice but an ungraceful handshake. In these days of advanced ideas on all lines the world will not tolerate imperfections in womanly grace, as it once djti. "As a drop of dew reflects the grandeur of the heavens," so wom an is expected to renect all that is beautiful in personality. It does not require the addition of a costly gown to be attractive. True, grace of motion and manner will adorn the plainest attire. One's influence for all that is high and noble is far greater when presented by an attractive pic ture of personal grace. Women occupy no small t.paee in the great affairs of the world to-day, and the individual must meet the condi tions of her time in a manner pleasing to the spirit of the age in which she lives. Mind and body should work in harmony. By the enlightenment of the one the other will become eorrect- I 3' poised and properly controlled. Feed the mind with beautiful thoughts and good literature, study the laws of health and beauty, and note the re sults. The face being the reflection of the soul, you will have a countenance which expresses a nobleness of spirit which, in spite of plain features, is at tractive, certain to leave an impres sion for good, and fair to look upon; gj-aee of mind with grace of body making the perfect woman, who is sure to be loved.—N. Y. Weekly. I.atettt Thing; In Jewelry, The latest idea of the jeweler is the betrothal basket. The basket is a small, graceful affair with a tall, curv ing handle of woven gold wire. The whole is not more than an inch and a half high. As for the flowers in the basket a tiny stone serves for a bud. The flowers have four and five petals with stones of the regulation cutting. Rubies make theprett iest flowers, while emeralds are used to the best advan tage for foliage. The baskets are used as betrothal gifts in Italy. The jew eler is at tempting to introduce tliecus to.m in this country. The baskets are attached to neck chains. WHAT INSECTS COST. Dimate ( nnird bj Oar Plumy Pop ulation Amount* to f:tOO,lKIO,- 000 a Vrar, The amount of the destruction done annually in this country by insects of various sorts 1 is enormous. The chinchbiifr caused a loss of $30,000,000 in 1871, upward of $100,000,000 in 1874, and in 1887, $00,000,000. The Rocky Mountain locust, or grasshopper, in 1874 destroyed $100,000,000 of the crops of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and lowa, and the indirect loss, says Dr. 11. C. McCook, in Harper's Magazine, wai probably as much more. For many years the cotton cater pillar caused an annual average loss in the southern states of $15,000,000, while in 1868 and 1873 the loss reached $30,000,000. The fly-weevil, our most destructive enemy to stored grains, particularly throughout the south, in flicts an annual loss on the whole coun try of $10,000,000. The codling moth, the chief ravager of the apple and pear crops, destroys every year fruit val ued at $30,000,000 to $40,000,000. The damage to live stock inflicted by the ob-dot, or ox-warble, amounts to $36,- 000.000. These are fair examples of the enormous money losses produced in one country by a few of the many pigmy captains of pernicious industry whose hosts operate in the granaries, fields, stock farms and the stockyards of our country. What is the grand total? Mr. ll.* D. Walsh, one of the best entomologists of his day, in 1867 estimated the total yearly loss to the United States from insects to be from $300,000,000 to $400,000,000. In 1890, C. V. Riley, long chief of division of entomology, estimated the loss at $300,000,000. Dr. James Fletcher in 1891 footed up the total to be about one-tenth of our agricultural prod ucts— $330,000,000! In 1899 E. Uwight Sanderson, after careful consideration of (he whole field, put the annual loss at $309,000,000. SURVEY MADE EASY.
