THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.
How Samuel Woodwork Was Moved
20 Write the Poem.

Several stories have been told as to how The
author of 1.-The Old Oaken Bucket" Samuel
Woodwork. came to write the now immortal
song. Woodwork, as we have it, was Jour
neyman printer in ali offic- on the corner of
Chatham aud Chambers streets, New York.
Near by, in Frankfort street, was a drinking
shop. kept by man named Mallory, where
Woodwork and several particular friends used
to resort. One afternoon the liquor was SUPER
excellent and WoodwOrth seemed inspired by
it, for, after taking draught, he set his glas s
ON the table, and, smacking his lips. declared
that Msllory's eau de vie was superior TO any,
thing he had ever tas ed. NO" said Mallory,
''you are mistaken. There was one thing which
in both our estmations surpassed this in the
way OF drinking"
What was that ?" asked Woodwork, dubi-
ously. "The draugh OF pure, fresh spring
water that we used 10 drink from the Old oaken
bucket that hung in the we'll after our return
from the labors or the field on sultry day in
summer" The teardrop glisttned for mo-
ment 10 WoodwOrth's eye. True, true" he
replied, and shortly after quilted the place. He
Immediately returned to the office, took a pen,
and, in half an hour, The Old Oaken Bucket"
one OF the most delightful compositions In our
language, was ready In manuscript to be en-
bamed in the memories OF succeeding genera
tions. Some years ago IL was said that every
family In Scituate exhibited the handle of a
water-bucket, which they claimed belonged TO
the original old oaken bucket. The we'll is in

BERKELEY.

The portion of Berkeley lying to the
north OF East Berkeley has 10 other means
OF communication with the lower portion
than by the railway. A franchiee has
been asked Of the Board OF Trustees for an
electric road to run as follows: From
Delaware and Third streets along Della
ware to Fourth, to University avenue. to
Stanford, to Shattuck, TO Durant, to CoK
lege avenue, to town limits. Lateral con-
nections will be made along University
avenue to Oxford street, to Rose street, 10
Miivia street, to Virginia street. TO Sacra-
mento street also beginning at University
avenue. along Sacramento to Hopkins, to
San Pablo avenue. to University avenue.
1t was rumored that the Southern Pacific
was at the back of the enterprise, put j.
y. Gardner, one of the petitioners Tor the
franchise. states that the railroad COM
pany Is neither directly nor indirectly
connected with the road, and that 1t Will
be run by Berkeley men,
summer Schools Closed.
The summer schools of physics and
chemistry maintained at the university
during six weeks of June and July are
now closed after a successful term. Some
twenty students took the courses 10 chem
lstry and fifteen the work In laboratory
physics under Mr. Raymond. Most of the
students were public school teachers
from various parts of the State, who
availed themselves of this excellent oppor-
tunity for fitting themselves specially in
these scientific branches.

Brumidi's Wife.

A score of times day the guides at the Capt.
tol bring visitors into the room OF the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs on the Senate side and
show TO the visitors the rich ffescoes with
which the walls of the room are covered.
The paintings are works Of Brumdi, the
famous Italian artist, and, thereby hangs
romance.
Conspicuous on the walls are half dozen or
more female figures. II is plainly evident that
they arc ali painted from the same model. The
form is perfect. the face is sweetiy attractive,
and is marked Dv ieDOse and genteness that
Is typcaly Italian. The figures seem to float
In midair, with drapery falling with studied
carelessness. Whether the woman Is pictured
as carrying an anchor, or grasplDg flag, or
intently studying scroll. the pose Is easy, ma
tural aud full of grace. Sometimes 1t is the
full face which looks down from the walls;
sometimes it Is only he sweep OF the back and
the curve OF symmetrical neck which is visi-
bic. But no matter what the pose or how the
woman is pictured 1t is always evident that she
has been painted con amore, and that upon her
form and features the artist has fingered with
loving touch.
And no wonder. The woman was BrumidpS
wife.-M ashington Post.

LEWIS CARROLL.
The Author of "Alice in Wonder

1t is a curious thing how mans autonym
will be entirely lost in his pseudOnym. / was
very forcibly reminded OF this when The other
day az Oxford l was presented TO the Rev.
Charles Lulwdge Dodgson. and it was fully a
half hour before l realized that l was talking
TO Lewis Carroll. whose fame as the author of
the "Ace in Wonderland" books has been
worldwide for more than score OF years. AS
when he wrote the first of his famous books so
Is Mr.. DOdgsOn at the present day, fellow and
mathematical tutor al Christchurch College at
Oxford. And it was in this old town and among
its children, who are now grown women and
men, that the "Allce" books were written. The
secret OF his knowledge OF child life and nature
is to be found In bis life. His love for children
is bound ess.
Every quarter of Oxford knew him and
little band OF companions almost invariably
accompanied him in his ramDles. In his num-
erous visits TO the houses OF his friends his ar
rival was always the signal for a stampede OF
the children TO the door and they were always
sure of warm greeting and plenty OF fun, for
ii was Them hat be came Chiefly TO see.
Many were the happy hours spent with
them-the inspiration, no dOubl. of many of his
st0rles-and many are the young people now
grown who still look back with vivid recolec
lions OF the pleasures they tnen enjoyed. To
one OF these many children Alice Through the
Looking GLASS" was dedicatr d. 1t Is generally
supposed 10 be tn daughter Of a former dean
OF ChIistchnrch College, Alice Liddel, who is
now Mrs. Reginald Hargreayes, though some
believe the book is dedicated 10 the other
daughter, Edith who died seventeen years ago.
AS these numerous little companions ma
tured MIR. DOdgsOn's visits grew less frequent,
until now his life has become that OF severe
recluse. He took on no new companions as the
children grew Older, 50 IL was not many years
before he found himself quite alone; and in the
secluded retirement Of his quarters at the col
lege he now lives almost entirely by himself,
rarely going into society and avoiding all public
attention. Ii is this fact that explains the lack
of information concerning him. Many have
been the inquiries concerning his personality
and life. but all have gone, for the most part,
unSatisted. SO far his surroundings at
oxford and the circumstances of his lie as a
tutor will admit OF IT, he lives the life of a
hermit.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

ALAMEDA.

The owners of large lots of vacant prop
erty in the West End of Alameda have for
years leased the same to Chinese and
Italians as vegetable gardens. and they
have cultivated and enriched the ground
and produced large crops of the finest quail
ity of vegetables for table use, which have
always found a ready market. The vege-
table gardens dotted throughout the
suburbs of the West End help to make
Alameda the heathful city tina: it is.

among some of these gentlemen TO take

EnrIisl, 4orsewouen.

Different observers have commented
upon the increase of women riders in
England who ride on the of side of
their horses. The English woman has
been taken as a model in horsewoInan-
ship, and her departure in this respect
will certainly have its influence. Il is
said that already the sight IS sufficient
" common in Hyde park to have ceased
to arouse comment. and though it still
looks odd land not thoroughbred. you
know, its cause of being is sensible
enough to procure sanction for it. Ac-
cording to those who know. riding on
one side Of her horse where woman
rides almost daily has a tendency to
give an undesirable swing or curve to
her figure, and tho idea of an occasional
change is on the same principle as run
ming the other way around a circle.

How Australian Boys Catch Grabs.


Travellers who have spent any time
among the natives Of Australia VOW that
the boys Of that country earn money in
the most curious way ever heard of. In
some parts Of the country fishing is
quite an industry. Among other things
caught are crabs and crayfish.
But instead Of catching them in nets,
as we do, boys are employed. and this
is the method: A boy wades out where
the crabs are thick Thrusting his foot
out, lie gives prominence to his big toe,
which, wagging about in an enticing
manner. he uses as bait.
LII 4 short time he gets a bite, and
quickly drawing mp his leg he breaks
off the crabs feelers and throws them
into a basket which is slung over his
shoulder.
Every now and then a deep sea visitor
strays into the crab settlement, and see
ing the tempting bait lays hold Of it.
Then there issues from the owner of
that bait an unearthly yell, and all the
boys come running out to stare, entirely
regardless of the crabs hanging to the
several parts of their anatomy and leav-
ing the poor boy with ''bite' to bat
tie with the unweIcome catch as best he
can. Boston Globe.
