ter of Mr. and Mrs. John o. johnson, of Col

service was conducted beneath an arch and
bell composed of daisies and brides roses.
The brides dress was white organdie over
white silk. She wore white tulle veil, fas-
tened with fresh orange blossoms, sent by
friend in Florida, and handsome diamond
pin, gift from the groom. The maid o.
honor was Miss Carson, of Norristown, Pa,
who wore a gown of yellow organdie, and
carried bouquet of daisies. The best man
was Mr.. James l.. Taliaferro, OF Gloucester,
Va, brother of the groom. The bridesmaids
were Miss Nina Taliaferro, OF Gloucester, Va,
sister of the groom; Miss Mary johnson, o.
Berlin, Pa; Miss Bessie johnson, sister OF the
bride; Miss Charlotte Calvert and Miss Mary
johnson, of College Park; Miss Nora Stabler,
Sandy Spring; Miss Ellen Champlin, OF Wash

the maid of honor and the bride, the latter
leaning on the arm Of her father. pretty
feature was the rainbow colors with which
the dresses of the maids were trimmed. As
they came into the chapel by twos it was no.
ticed that the first couple wore green ribbon |
the next pair yellow ribbon, the next couple |
blue ribbon, and the rear couple pink ribbon
Each carried an immense bouquet of daisies. |
As the bridal party entered the chapel Miss

her maid of honor and bridesmaids at the foot |
of the chancel. After the ceremony, the |
bridal party retired from the church, bride
and groom coming first, maid of honor and
best man, and then a bridesmaid and grooms-
man. The effect was very pretty. After an

Although But Four Years Old She Can
Repeat Anything She Has Ever
Heard, and Sings Long Songs
Without Break

Baby Ethel Carroll, of Oakland, CAL,
is human monograph. Every word
of conyersation-no matter how long
names, dates, figures and bits of ora
tory of all degrees of merit, songs and
jokes spoken il her presence. seem to
register themselves indelibly upon her
brain, and by virtue of her remarkable
memory she is able to recall them. word
for word, even though it be weeks and
months after. At her age-for she is
only four years old-much that she
hears no doubt is quite unintelligible
to her as are the words of n phonorraph
to a wild beast. She simply repeats
everything from memory. without
knowing aught of the text of her words.
AT the Hotel Crellin. says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, where she lives with
her parents. she is the idol and wonder
of all who know her, for she is as pretty
as she is clever. The first time that the
child showed her phenomenal trait was
at the age of II months. At that time
she was taken to see one of IIoyt's plays
at the Marlborough theater. Upon re-
turning TO her home she surprised every
one by repeating word for word one of
the popular songs. From that time un-
ill now little Ethel has been a regular
playgoer.

LITTLE BABY CARROLL.

Several months ago, while the Durrant
case was the one absorbing topic of
public interest," tiny Miss Ethel heard
her mother read several of the lengthy
newspaper reports. Since thenth sub
ject has not been mentioned until one
dag last week, when, for the purpose Of
testing her memory, the matter was re-
called. She at once went over the entire
subject, using language almost identical
with that of the newspaper articles.
Her answers to questions often took the
form of quotation of entire sentences,
and these she repeated perfectly after
the lapse of SO many months without,
perhaps, understanding their meaning.
Recently her wonderful memory was
put to severe test at concert recital
in Oakland. After the performance she
was asked if she remembered certain
recitation on the programme remarka-
BILE alike for it's length and peculiar
phrasing. She had never heard it be-
fore, but with confident smile and a
certain enchanting carelessness of man
ner, she recited the entire piece without
a single break.
1t will be interesting to note as this
child grows cider whether her memory
broadens with age, or whether, as in
the case Of the famous italian boy
mathematician, it lapses altogether and
leaves her more stupid than the veriest
infant

Recently there has been serious
and concerted effort in congress to
bring that vast body of legislators In
both houses to an appreciation of the

"Out Of the multiplicity of practical
advantages which would flow is the

land states of this nation nearly 1000,

facilities they had for doing the work.
The structure was put up about 1858
and has remained in constant use ever
since. 1t Is true the stages do not cross
it now, but foot passengers and smaller
vehicles use it regularly. The only
effect of its long years of service is
slight swag at the northern end.
The redwood trees of which the bridge
was built were hauled from the forest
about Is miles away. How they were
placed in position is something past find
ing out, as there is nobody living in the
locality that remembers when the
bridge was put up. And, indeed, it
looks as if the job would puzzle an EN-.
gineer Of today, even though he were
given the use of all modern appliances,
which the others did not have.
In all there are 10 upright supports
in the bridge, and they must have been
stood on end entirely by the use of
ropes, pulleys and muscle. Those in
the center of the bridge are the highest
and the others get shorter and shorter
as they climb the bank ON either side.
Very few braces are used, so that the
bridge presents the appearance OF a
series of straight poles reaching across
the ravine.
The country In this vicinity is pic
turesque and wild, and the bridge does
not look the least bit out of place. In
fact, 1t rather blends into the land

beautiful appearance nor does it look

more curious enemy to mice than the
one that has recently distinguished
itself at the fishing metropolis (Grims-
by, on the night of March rs.
An oyster was on that day placed on
pantry floor, and during the night
feeling thirsty it opened it's shell.
Three silly, wandering mice were near
too, and smelling fish, all placed their
heads just inside for taste. The in
trusion was instantly resented by the
occupant of the shell, and hastily yet
silently relentless grab was made, and
those foolish mice were suddenly ex-
ecuted prisoners.
Such thing has been known on .oys-
ter boats here as the capture of single
mouse by an oyster, and rats have suf-
fered injuries to legs, etc, but the trap.
ping Of three mice simultaneously is a
record for an oyster which think at
present is acknowledged unique feat.
1fas the oyster firmly conspired to
GUST the cat from the legitimate occupa-
ton for which it has so long been re-
nowned?

in as fast as given.
Just here 1t should be stated that the
ouananiche, as is characteristic of the
salmon, hooks in the outer edge of the
mouth, lightly, as in nearly all cases.
The hook is rarely gorged, as with
trout and bass, and this makes delicate
handling and play absolutely necessary
With such d rough fighting fish the
difficulties to be contended with can be
easily appreciated.
Following the first rush the fish, in
all probability, will make another won
derful leap from the water; then an
other rush towards or from the fisher
man. Then it will seek the bottom and
sulk, keeping. up a continuous jerk
ing at the line, just as dog win jerk
stick or rope held by his master, and
then comes another leap from the VIII
ter, quickly followed by still other
rushes and leaps. I once saw d fish
jump from the water 10 times; from 10
to ~ times Is frequent and 8 times
is good average. They will not lead
until thoroughly tired out; and about
the time they reach this stage the fish
erman is in the same condition or at
least his wrist is.
AS soon as the ouananiche is struck
1t should be invariably played with the
butt of the rod presented. This adds
to the friction of the line in long runs.
and the constant strain of the spring
of the rod tends to more quickly tire
the fish. When the wonderful leaps
from the water are made the tip SHOULD
be presented and the strain eased by
following the jump with it. Even with
these precautions and the very best
tackle, the demon of ill-luck seems to
follow the ouananiche fisher to such
an extent that, as a rule, not over hah

four pounds will require from 10 to 25

of the swift, turbulent water in which
the fish is hooked.
