Early November.

Bout the fust days of November seems
the world is its best,
With its ca'am an stately bearin', in its
gOrg us beauty dress d.
True. the flower scents are Scar'cer than
in leafy days er June,
An the bird songs amt as plenty as some
summer afternoon;
But they'S somethin' in the silence with
your better nature chimes
Like the Lord was somewhat closer then
than at all other times!
An You walk about the woodlands full er
memories an dreams.
While the hickory nuts are fallin' with
spatter in the streams.
Roamin' by the haZy pastures whar' the
sagegrass spreads away
Like muddy inland river er slowly
wavin' bay.
You can mighty nigh see faces that have
long been hid from view.
And the skies old-time Aprils in the
jay-bird'S coat er blue.
While the whistle er the partridge brings
yer boyhood back again.
When you rOmped along the byways mi
nus care an much er pain;
An you half wush life had faded with the
glad old boyhood dreams.
When the hickory nuts are fallin' with a
spatter in the streams.

1t is long time since the Episcopal
diocese of Maine has chosen a bishop.
The ceremonies in Massachusetts
when the successor of Bishop Brooks
was installed We're elaborate and inn
pressive, and they will probably be
similar when Bishop Neely's successor
is installed. The church canons pro-
vide that within three months from
the death of the bishop, the standing
committee of the diocese shall convene
the diocesan convention in eXtraor-
binary session if the annual gathering
is more than three months distant
from the date of the death of the
bishop. The election is by ballot, the
lay and clerical members of the con-
vention voting separately. For an
election the two bodies must agree.
Then the choice must be ratified by
the standing committees of the other
dioceses, and also by the other bishops.
All these stages must be passed before
the candidate is safely elected. Any
ordained clergyman of the church who
is a citizen of the United States. 80
years of age, "a sober man; the hus-
band of one wife" is eligible. This
phrase about the wife is construed to
mean that marriage is no bar. A
single man might be elected a bishop,
as in the case of Phillips Brooks.

Lipcoln's Kindness.

Washington Special Chicago Trib-
une: One Of the many examples of
Abraham Lincoln's kind-hearted ma
ture recently came to light among the
papers on file in the war department.
It was a letter from a young woman in
a western state asking for the return
of her sweetheart. who was at the time
a soldier in the Union army. In a pa
thetic manner she told how at the be-
ginning of the war she became en-
gagged, and how her lover had gone TO
the front, promising to return at the
close of the war and make her his
bride Over a year had passed, the war
continued, and her lover was lying
wounded in a hospital. The young
woman said if the soldier in question
did not return at once she would die
Of a broken heart. Whether or not the
two lovers were ever reunited the de-
partment records do not show, but the
papers bear evidence that the appeal
touched the heart of the war presi-
dent, for across the back is written in
his own handwriting: LET him go to

NOVEL SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
Coreans Built One Made from Vines
Three Hundred Years Ago.

Coreans Built One Made from Vines
Three Hundred Years Ago.
From Harper's Magazine: The first
suspension bridge that can be dignified
by that name was thrown across the
Im.jin river, in Corea, in 1892. The
japanese in P'yeng-yang, learning Of
the defeat of the army of reinforce
ment, determined to withdraw. China
had begun to bestir herself in favor OF
Corea, and the Japanese, driven from
P'yeng-yang by the combined Chinese
and Corean armies, fastened south
ward TO Seoul. When the pursuers ar
rived at the Im-jin river the Chinese
general refused to cross and continue
the pursuit unless the Coreans would
build a bridge sufficiently large and
strong to insure the passage of his
10000 men in safety. The Coreans
were furnishing for revenge upon the
Japanese, and would be stopped by no
obstacle that human ingenuity could
surmount Sending parties of men N
all directions, they collected enormous
quantities Of chik, tough, hbrous vine
that often attains a length or lOO
yards. From this eight hawsers were
woven. Attaching them to trees or
heavy timbers let into the ground, the
bridge builders carried the other ends
across the stream by boats and an
chored them in the same way. OF
course the hawsers dragged in the wa
ter in midstream, but the Coreans were
equal to the occasion. Stout oaken
bars were inserted between the
strands in midstream, and then the
hawsers were twisted until the torsion
brought them good ten feet above the
surface Brushwood was then piled on
the eight parallel hawsers and upon
the brushwood clay and gravel were
laid. When the roadbed had been
packed down firmly and the bridge had
been tested the Chinese could no long
er refuse to advance, and so, upon the
first suspension bridge, $50 yards long,
that army of 10000 Cinnamon, with
all their Corean allies. camp equipage
and impedimenta, crossed in safety.
This bridge, like the tortoise boat, hav-
ing served its purpose, was left to fall
of its own weight.

LECTURER KEPT HIS NERVE.

He Was Equal to the Occasion When
Asked Embarrassing Question.
The late Isaac Bromley, a noted ed
ftorial writer, was "cool, calm and col

SO tight that his nerve" did not dis
close an open door. The New Haven
Register tells this story of the way he
once saved himself: Bromley was
Iecturing before a local institute in
Litchfield county, Connecticut, upon a
trip he had recently made to Califor-
mia and the Yosemite valley, and con-
cluded with beautiful description of
the Bridal Veil falls, which SO charm
all who visit them. AS he took his
seat he was surprised to see the man
who had presided over the meeting step
forward and say: In accordance with
our usual custom we shall now be glad
to hear any questions that the lecturer
may be desired to answer in relation
to the subject upon which he has been
talking At this a tall, red-headed
man rose in the audience, and with a
rasping voice said: I would like to
ask the1ecturer the exact height Of the
Bridal Veil Bromley, who had ex-
pected nothing of this kind, and was
never strong in figures, was entirely
taken by surprise, but gave no sign
thereof as he rose and advanced to the
front of the platform and cody an
swered: I did not measure them, but
as nearly as 1 can remember the exact
height is 361 feet 91s inches No fur

Rolling Grass.

The effect of rolling is to crush down
the bigger plants that flourish among
the grass and to injure the grass it.
self but little. The bigger plants are
mostly weeds, which, if allowed TO
grow unchecked, would soon choke the
more slender grass. If footpath
across a field becomes disused, it will
be found that the grass which grows
up in its place is of far superior purity
to that in the rest of the field. Con-
slant pressure has stamped out the
roots of the weeds and left only the
pure grass. Another advantage Of
rolling is that it makes the grass
grow more thickly. The ground be-
comes intertwined with network of
plants, and when this has been going
on for fifty years or more that rich vel
vety turf is produced which can be
found alone in old park lands that
have Lain undisturbed by the plow for
many years in succession.
