ARIZONA NATURAL BRIDGE.

A gigantic natural bridge situated
In the wilderness Of Arizona and pos
sessing even more marvels than the
natural bridge Of Virginia, is describ-
ed by Dwight f. Woodbridge, a Du-
luth mining engineer.
Not only is this bridge a natural
| wonder. but It's span and width are SO
| great that its floor has been convert
| ed into a truck garden. The bridge is
100 miles south OF Jerome. Travel
ers who frequent that part of the
country pass within a few miles of 1t
without visiting the natural wonder.
Mr.. Woodbridge stopped at the
bridge while on . horseback trip
through that section Of the country.
At the edge Of the bridge he found a
cottage. occupied by an old Indian
fighter, who went there several years
ago and cultivated the few fertile
spots in the canyon. While there Mr..
Woodbridge was served with a meal
which was raised in the garden on
on the bridge.
For the length of span this bridge
eclipses the Virginia bridge or any OF
the other natural bridges in A.meri-
ca. It's span is more than 200 feet
and it stretches across a branch OF
the Verde river. which rushes
through the gorge 200 feet below.
The bridge is about 1870 feet in width.
The hoor being as level as that OF a
bridge built by man. Along the sides
of the stream which runs below are
dozens Of springs from which warm
water flows continually. The spot is
100 miles from a railroad.

A Gold Season.

1t is the season for gold. gold in all
its variety of coloring. The dazzling
gold on GAUGES and tulles Is combined
in many exquisite evening creations.
1t is generally mingled with velvet OF
a bright amber color or a deep or
ange shade. A diaphanous yellow
mousseline is made to veil a gold or
bronze net. the two producing a
charming effect over a foundation OF
gold tissue or yellow satin. The vel.
low satin combines a princess robe
under an empire fashioned peplum OF
the gold gauze.-Town and Country.

There is a show Of voting, a form OF

I was told by a leading diplomat
that when a governor was to be elect

after the election that name was sent
to the state with the polite oflcial
announcement: ION yesterday the
people chose as governor Of your state

WORDS THAT ARE IMMORTAL.
Empires and Kingdoms Flourish and
Disappear, But LANGUAGE Sur
wives Times Attack,

Three children were PLAYING on the
banquette-playing "caJeher." One
chased another into a tight corner,
and, triumphantly touching her, cried
Tag
With almost the same words little
Julius Caesar, or little Titus Sem
pronius, in the days when Rome was,
caught one another gleefully and
cried 'sTacte!"
1t is said that the oldest tune in the
world is that sung to the %irreverent
words Of I'VE Won't Go Home Till
Morning" The Breton peasant sings
to this air the immortal chant OF
"Mironton, Mironton, Mirontaine," and
the Crusaders of King Baldwin used
to startle the echoes of Libanus and
Of Hermon with rollicking choruses to
the same succession of notes.
Philologists and antiquarians find
their most priceless treasures in
words describing frying-pans and
chairs. BY the ancestry of words de-
scribing the commonest of common
things the history of nations and EN-
pires is revealed. Dust is the Oldest
thing in the world.
These reflections are not strictly
new. But it is a comforting refec.
ton, occasionally, to one of the com
mon people to reflect that while EN-.
pires and majestic kingdoms may rise
and tower for a day, yet the common
est word we speak is longer lived
than they.

His Goodness All About Us.

Men live daily by faith in the uni
verse, by confidence that the seasons
will return, that you can depend on
nature giving as you SOW All living
is based on the eternal verities of ma,
ture. Why can we not read this mes
sage for our own lives? Should not
each returning day tell of the good
ness that is ever new?
1t is folly to look for some authori
tative word revealing a good ruler Of
the world if you do not find goodness
writ large and everywhere in the
world as you have it. Why should we
not trust the revelation of justice and
affection in nature? Why should we
not seek ourselves to learn the laws
of life, to be in harmony with this
universe of law and so to come al
last to know the face of that life which
has taught us life and love through
the work of his fingers?
We need no dreams of dwelling be
yond pearly gates; we need no prom
Use of paradises of sloth or Of fairy
furnishings, all we need to make oul
lives full, and rich, and strong is this
faith that the world is even now being
made by right and truth. that no otheI
way than that of right is possible Il
the true man. that the love thai
passes our knowledge is over all ant
this love is the law for our lives anl
for our living.

A GEM FROM THE BOOK.

The one bright hope OF the
Jews during all the dark por-
tions of their history, and even
to to-day among the faithful,
was the thought of the ultimate
glory and exaltation of their be-
loved Jerusalem.
There is such a triumphant
note of Joy in this book, and it
may we'll be a subject of con-
temptation by those of us to-
day as pointing to a dispersal
ton yet to come.
Put off, o Jerusalem, the gar
ment of thy mourning and at
Fiction and put on the comeli-
ness of the glory that cometh
from God forever.
Cast about thee a double gar
ment of the Righteousness
which cometh from God; and
set a diadem on thine head Of
the glory of the everlasting.
For God will show thy bright
ness unto every country under
heaven.
For thy name shall be called
Of God forever, the peace Of the
righteous, and the glory Of
Gods worship.
Arise, o Jerusalem, and stand
on high, and look about towards
the east, and behold thy chill
dren gathered from the west
unto the east by the word of
the holy one, rejoicing in the
remembrance of God.
For they departed from thee
on foot, and we're led away of
their enemies; but God bring
eth them unto thee exalted with
glory, as children of the king
dom.
For God hath appointed that
every high hill, and banks of
long continuance, should be cast
down, and valleys filled up, to
make wen the ground, that Is
raeI may go safely in the glory
of God.
Moreover ven the woods and
every sweet-smelling tree shall
overshadow Israel by the COM
mandment Of God.
For God shall lead Israel with
Joy In the tight of his glory
with the mercy and righteous.

THE STORY.

FIVE years." sighed Baruch. "It
does seem almost a lifetime" And
again the man lapsed into a long
silence.
Day and night the condition of his
people Israel weighed upon his mind
and heart. Day and night he had
thought of the Jerusalem he had seer
spoiled and ruined by the cruel hand
of the nation which had taken them
captive. How he had striven to bring
the rulers of Jerusalem to the point
of submission to the king of Babylon,
but they would not, and at last the
king had sent and RACED the city and
dragged all the principal people to the
far off Babylon, he among them. And
1t had been five years now since that
bitter trial, and during those years
he had pondered over the condition
of his nation and mourned for the be.
loved Jerusalem.
He had striven to keep before the
minds of the captives the thought of
God, and that even during their so.
journ in a strange land and with a
strange people they could be loyal
to him and obey his law. He tried
to point out and make plain that il
was their sin and the sins of their
fathers which had brought upon the
nation so great humiliation and suffer
ing, and that it was only as now they
bowed to the conditions and turned
and served the Lord to the best OF
their ability that they could find de
%liverance.
One year, two years, three years
four years, and then five years had
dragged out their weary lengths and
still the Frightening day of deliver
ance did not seem any nearer than
that first day when they had reached
the strange land and had set to work
TO make them homes down along the
river bank in the section which had
been set apart by the king for theil
dwelling place.
That day Baruch had gone out tc
his accustomed nook for meditation
and as he had repeated over per
haps for the fiftieth time, Five years
and still nothing is DONE" a sudden
inspiration came to him and he ex
claimed.
II will! / will set 1t down in a book
and 1t shall be not only for our people
here but for those who are living
amidst the ruins Of our beloved Jeru
salem. We must keep before the PEG
ple that it is only as we turn to Goo
and serve him that blessing can come
and ~deliverance be wrought"

his heart he returned home and the

is useless for any man to suppose that
he can get away from God. The

concluded that there was nowhere z
place whittier he might fee to escape

But to the humble, trustful. cbedient
soul the all-the-timO presence Of its

ror but comfort, and which inspires
