THE STANDIsH MONUMENT.
\ Noble Tribute to America's First Com
 missioned Officer.

A Noble Tribute to America's First Com-
 missioned Officer.
 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. It is here that the house built by his son in 1866 still stands near the site of the old homestead which was burned in 1865. The farm was given to him by the colony about 1630, and re- mained in the family till the middle of the last century. The hill is 180 feet high, and overlooks Plymouth and Dux- bury (Mass.) harbors. Pilots now use it as a sighting point in entering Massachu- setts bay. When the shaft is finished it will be very useful to the coast survey as we'll as to pilois.
 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 16 feet. The base is octagonal to the height of 25 feet, or as far up as the projection of the lower cornice; above this the monu- ment is perfectly round. The founda- ton extends 8 feet below the surface of the ground, and is laid in hydraulic ce- 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, 12 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 rubble stone, the whole

Story of the Wild West and Preside
 Chata.
By HON. W. F. CODY, Buffalo Bill

Buffalo Bill is the Napoleon of American Scouts and Indian Fighters. He is one of tho greatest and most versatile characters that this or any other country has ever produced. He has won brilliant success and renown in all his undertakings. He IS not only the greatest American frontiers man, but he is also an educated man. He is familiar with the entire history of our Country, and has made spec ial study of the lives and grand achie- vements of the great pioneers, whose deeds of daring have won the admir- ation and applause of the whole world, He is better qualified than any other man to write the great standard his tory of American Pioneer Life, for he helped to make that history, and his own adventures constitute the most brilliant and thrilling portions of it.. His peculiar fitness for the work that he has SO successfully accomplished was justly recognized by the Prince of Wales, Hon. Wm. Gladstone, Hon. John Bright, and other distinguished Englishmen, when they earnestly re- quested him to write the "Story of the Wild West" In this request they were joined by nearly every celebrated General in the American Army, who, knowing Buffalo Bill intimately, knew that he was the man to write this Grand History. It is book that every American can feel proud of, He not only tells of his''own marvellous achieve ments, but also those of his comrades and other great frontiersmen, includ- ing the thrilling story of the Custer Massacre, General Crooks campaign and thousand of other exciting in cidents, and lastly, a description of his wonderful career and success in ex hibiting his "Wild West Show" among the Crown Heads of all Europe Bufia \ To Bills pen is as vigorous as his riti' was unerring, and his book will re main forever the great standard his tory of pioneer life in America ant should receive a glad welcome in tho | home of every true and patriotic American. This great historical bool contains over seven hundred pages ant nearly three hundred spirited engrav ings. The well-known publishers The History Co.,, 723 Market St., Sal Francisco, are the authorized Genera Agents. Agents and parties who de sire to sell this book can secure al agency and liberal terms by addressing the History Company.

The yyeevil in Peas and neans.

Seed peas and beans can be rid of weevil larvae in several ways. One and the simplest way is to plunge them for a few moments in boiling water. An other and a very good and effective one is what is called the bi-sulphide of car bon treatment. The seed is put in a tight box or barrel, s.lall vessel con- taining half gill of bi-sulphide of car bon placed upon the seed and the re- ceptacle kept tightly closed for at least foity-eight hours. The drug will ther have evaporated and permeated ail through the seed so that every weevil is killed. Don't overlook that the vapor is extremely infammable. The operation should be carried on outdoors or in an open shed, and the seed when emptied out kept away from light or fire,

There are persons possessed of such wonderful self boise and serenity of soul that they never give way to the vulgar excitement of less evenly bal anced persons.
 A story is told of an old Quaker lady who was informed by a wildly excited man that her house was on fire.
 "It is?" she said, rising calmly and dropping her knitting into her pocket, after she had carefully wound the loose yarn. "I thank thee for thy informa- tion, and now if thee will just go and sound the alarm, will take my pies out of the oven, and be ready to tell the peo- pie what to carry out first. Youth $ Companion.

Early RridCes.

The first bridges were of wood, and the earliest of which we have any ac- count was built in Rome 800 years B. c. The next was erected by Julius Caesar for the passage of his army across the Rhine. Trajan's great bridge over ths Danube, ALTO feet long, was made of timber, with stone piers. The Romans also built the first stone bridge, which crossed the T'ner. Suspension bridges are of remote origin. A Chinese one men, tioned by Kirchen, made of chains sup porting roadway $50 feet in length, was built A. n. 65, and is still to be seen. The first large iron bridge was erected over the Severn in 1777. Chicago Ledger

 stone, four inches thick and twelve inches wide. The statue, which is built by the Cape Ann Granite company, is finished and on the grounds. The height from the base at the feet to the crown of the head is fifteen feet. It 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 ruffie around the neck, mili- 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 inn 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 ia 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 mili 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.

Collecting Tax.

A man named Frye, who lived on Tinker's Island, used to be the town col lector of Mt. Desert. If he didn't get his money the first time he called, he had an original way of helping the deliH quent to remember that be would come again. Taking a piece of chalk from his pocket, he would write the word "Tax" on the woodwork of the room in large letters; and the authority of the official is said '7 have been acknowledged so well that the chalk was allowed to re- main there till time or the payment of the tax had rubbed it off.-Lewiston Journal

Inventors have for long time cud- geled their brains, more or less success fully, in order to turn out appliances to prevent railroad accidents and attend ant loss of life. Now a man named Ford has evolved an idea which he thinks will prevent the loss of life, even if it does not abolish accidents. His invention is no more nor less than steel railroad car, the idea being that. as it can neither be telescoped nor burned, the main
