advice for the good old times when

The couplet may be changed to suit
the new circumstances. after lunch
con sit awhile, after dinner walk a
mile" This advice is by no means
universally followed. 1t may be
doubted whether it is universally
given or believed in. One thing, how
ever, says The Hospital, is certain:
the mile, and much more, ought to be
walked some time during the twenty.
four hours. Nay, it must be walked if
health is to be maintained. Indoor air
cannot be breathed all day long with
out serious injury, nor can sufficient
measure of physical exercise be dis
pensed with
Nature is stronger than all the doc
tors and drugs in the world, and she
will not let man be we'll who per-
sistently disobeys her. She has made
our limbs for movement and our lungs
for pure air. If we do not use the
limbs sufficiently and breathe enough
of perfectly pure air, she insists upon
storing up quantities of poisonous
waste in the system, and makes the
arms and legs as limp as a jelly fish.
Men of business and professional men
seem to have no time for walking and
taking the air except in the evening.
But how can q man walk after a
heavy dinner4 Most true; and there
fore man should not eat heavy
dinner habitually. Whether he walks
or not the heavy dinner will do him
nothing but harm, and all the more
harm if he does not walk. Most men
eat good meat lunch. Many take
both meat and pudding; in fact, to
all intents and purposes they dine.
They do not then need heavy meal in
the evening. After substantial lunch
con at /, a moderate dinner at or Z is
all that is required. If such a meal be
taken, followed about 8 o'clock by a
cup of hot coffee, the man who has
not been overworked during the day
should feel perfectly fresh for walk
at $50. If he then goes out and walks
until $780, he will soon begin to find
his walk great pleasure, and the adj
vantage to his health will be marked,
indeed. Does he fear the night airl
That is nonsense. Night air is as good
as any other air, except that it is a lit
tie colder. He can provide against
that by wrapping up little more.
For getting rid of the cares of the
day, for producing a pleasant sense of
relaxation, for purifying the blood,
for raising the spirits, for encouraging
sound and refreshing sleep, there is
nothing better than an evening walk
after moderate dinner. To those who
have not practiced the habit, the first
few walks may prove fatiguing and dis
appointing; but let them give it fair
trial. Perseverance will amply justify
what some may consider rather novel
advice. London Globe.

LULLABY.


Daylight Is dying,
Homeward are flying
Birds to the soft, downy nest;
The sun hides his head
In the dark oceans bed,
And thou on the heart that loves best
The lambs on the void
Are seeking the fold
AS shadows grow somber and grey;
While the firefy's spark
Cleans In the dark
To show thee to dreamland the way.
Sweet flowers are sleeping.
Pale mists are creeping
Over the mead, up the hill,
In shadowy hooks,
By the ripping brooks,
Whose waters lie quiet and still
Through the clouds silv'ry lace
The moons gentle face
Bends with tender good night;
Then whisper thy prayer
On the calm, solemn air,
And slumber till morning Is bright.
May the stars as they shine
On this jewel of mine
Not find thee, my darling, awake
But smile Ger thy sleeping,
With fond angels keeping
Watch for the Holy Ones sake.

stone, four inches thick and twelve
by the Cape Ann Granite company, is
finished and on the grounds. The heigh
from the base at the feet to the crown of
the head is fifteen feet. 1t is carved out
of two blocks of the finest Cape Ann
granite, and represents the old Puritan
captain standing in an upright position
in full military dress of the early colonial
period, consisting of the cooked hat,
Elizabethan ruffle around the neck. mill
tary boots, etc. The right foot and arm,
in which a scroll is held, are extended
forward, while the left hand rests firmly
on the hilt of the sword hanging on the
left side The long cloak which was
then worn is thrown over the back, fall
ing behind the statue in graceful folds to
the feet.
Very large stones were used in the
construction of this monument, many of
them weighing from three to five tons
each, which when set make a very i'm
posing structure. The stones which form
the jambs of the arch over the entrance
were contributed by and bear the names
of each of the New England states. Presi-
dent Grant presented the keystone which
represents the counties of the common
wealth of Massachusetts, suitably in
scribed. There are four sunken panels
on the sides. each contains four stones,
on which the sixteen names of Capt.
Standish's companions in the great work
accomplished by the Pilgrim Fathers are
cut.
The inner room Of the octagon base is
about twenty-one feet across by twenty
feet high, and is so constructed as to re-
ceive tablets of religious, historical ma
sonic and other societies, mechanical
and mercantile associations. regimental
and other military stones. All the inte-
rior of the shaft above, including the
sides of the cone around which the
stones circle, is studded with the mill
tary company stones of this and other
states and such like tablets, which may
be deemed best to insert SO as to commem-
morate and perpetuate the works and
names of Capt. Standish and his asso-
ciates,

Geese Killed by Lightning.

During a heavy rain and thunder
storm at Gonzales (Tex.) a flock of
wild geese flying over the town was
struck by lightning and seventy eight
were killed. They were picked up by
an old negro and sold ON the streets at
ten cents each. Some of the geese
were badly torn up by the electricity.
This statement is absolutely true, and
can be verified by the citizens of the
town. -St. Louis Republic.

THE STANDlSH MONUMENT.
A Noble Tribute TO Americas First Com

missioned Omcer.
The spot chosen for the monument
which has been erected to perpetuate the
memory of Miles Standish, the first COM
missioned military officer of the New
World, is on Captains Hill, on the old
Standish farm, where Capt. Standish
lived and died. 1t is here that the house
built by his son in 1865 still stands near
the site of the old homestead which was
burned in 1865. The farm was given to
him by the colony about 1880, and re-
manned in the family till the middle of
the last century. The hill is 1870 feet
high, and overlooks Plymouth and Dux-
bury (Mass.) harbors. Pilots now use it
as sighting point in entering Massachu-
sets bay. When the shaft is finished it
will be very useful to the coast survey as
well as to pilo,s.
The monument is 100 feet high from
the grade to the top of the parapet or
base of the statue The diameter of the
base is 25 feet and at the top 10 feet.
The base is octagonal to the height of
20 feet, or as far up as the projection of
the lower cornice; above this the monu-
ment is perfectly round. The founda-
ton extends feet below the surface of
the ground, and is laid in hydraulic CO.
ment. Up to the first cornice the granite
base of the monument is of the first di-
mension quality, with rough, split faces
and hammered beds and builds. This
monument is the tallest and largest
structure in the United States erected to
the memory of any individual, except
Washington. The whole upper corner
is also of rough, split granite. The brick
cone inside is supported by eight ham
mered granite posts, ~ feet long, and
lintels.
The granite in the shaft is in irregular
blocks, no course less than eight inches
nor over twelve inches rise outside. The
interior above the octagon base is built
up with common bubble stone, the whole
