HOW to Destroy Rs~weed.

Everywhere along roadsides may be
seen the coarse, dusty foliage and duh
green spikes laden with pollen of the
unsightly ragweed plant. To destroy
this undesirable plant run the mower
along the infested roadsides in August,
before the flowers are enough advanced
to perfect their seeds. Being ANIMALS,
this method, if thorough, will destroy
the crop for another year. Sheep will
eradicate the weed if pastured on the in
tested ground.--Prairie Farmer.

The will of the late Joseph Walker. OF
Portland, left in the hands Of Frederick
Fox and Albert B. Stevens as trustees the
sum Of $40, 600 for the erection and main
tenance of a first class public library in
that part of Westbrook formerly called
Saccarappa. Of this sum ten thousand
dollars was to be permanently invested
so that the income might be used con-
tinually for the purchase of books to be
added to the library from time to time.
The will also provided for the purchase
of a lot of land and the erection of a
suitable library building, which the city
should afterwards maintain.
An excellent lot was purchased some
time ago, situated nearly opposite the
high school building. The PRESS pre-
SCENTS this morning an excellent cut of
the library building which is to be erect
ed upon this lot, and be completed ready
for occupancy by the first OF next Au-
gust. Architect Frederick A. Tompson
of this city, has made the plans, and j.
Philbrobk and son have the contract.
They will begin Iwork early in the
spring.
All completed, the building will proba-
bly, cost fifteen thousand dollars exclu-
sive of the land. The building will be
constructed of light terra Gotta brick,
with terra Gotta trimmings and granite
underpinning. The trimmings will be
brown, and the spandrils in the ornamen-
tation over the doorway will be modelled.
The roof will be covered with Monson
slate. The building will be story and

WEALTH IN A VOLCANO.

Tho Risks Men Will Sometimes Take to
Make Money.
The Greeks were not far wrong when
they said the golden apples of the Hes
perides were guarded by a terrible
dragon, and that the route to them lay
through dangers which none but Her
cules would dare. Nature has indeed
placed her precious metals in wild and
hardly accessible places. But all the
dangers imagination can conjure up will
not keep men out of a region if they are
once satisfied that much gold is there.
Other treasures are almost equally
sought, and the latest illustration Of it
is the formation of q company to ''work"
the crater of Popocatepetl, now very
quiesoent.
The crater is, according to Maximil-
ian's French engineers, Is, 1853 feet above
the sea. There is we'll settled region
and easy road up to Ameca, at the foot
of the main mountain and about 5000
feet above the sea, and fairly good go

of Z, 900 feet almost insupportable, and
so the crater is among the hardest Of
high places to reach. Still it is literally
full of the finest sulphur in the world,
and with every advance in the mechanic
and chemical arts that metalloid prom
Uses to become more valuable.
The chief difficulty will be in con-
structing road, for the last 5000 feet
of ascent is over rough masses of CLASSY
rock, thrown out from the crater, or
beds of sand and dust so fine that no
hoofed animal can walk upon it. There
was time when Popocatepetl was
among the grandest volcanoes of the
world, when all the eastern slope of tie
Mexican Andes was aglow with its
light, and scientists tell us there will
come time when it will again wrap all
the vicinity in ashy clouds. Now,
however, it sends out but a slight cloud
of vapor, and so now is the time to get
that sulphur. And, according to one
Frenchman, there are a million tons il

very beautiful building, but l was not
prepared for the sight that met my gaze.
It was ablaze with light, and there GER
tainly must have been several thousand
lanterns, for candle power is the only
light used in China. 1t may seem in
credible that nation of 400, 100000, so
mu,sh older than ours, and with such
vast natural resources, should in the
Nineteenth century be practically with
out railroads, without telegraph, with
out telephone, without any postal serv-
ice and without any governmental mint.
But it is still more incredible that they
should be without anything in the way
of light at night other than candle power.
But the effect of this is certainly as
pleasing as anything have seen either
in America or in Europe. The light of
every candle shone through some gayly
colored lantern, and over the whole scene
there was that soft radiance which nei-

However we Of America may attempt
to belittle the Chinaman, there is little
justification for it. True it is he is far
behind US in many ways, but he has
abilities peculiarly his own, and what
ever he does attempt he succeeds in.
There is great deal of what we call
red tape in this country in everything

Of the formality of things when / tell
you that before I reached the august
presence of Ii Hung Chang was pre-
sented in turn to seven different officials,
each higher than the one who presented
me. Finally reached the prime min
lister. By that time I was very much
worked up, and scarcely able to make
good presentation of my case through
the interpreter. But any nervousness
that may have felt was doubtless over

space will be - feet wide and 80 long
From this space the reading room will
open on the right, and the book or
stack room on the left.
This reading room will be one of the
finest features Of the building. Its di-
mansions will be 10 by SO feet, exclusive
Of the splendid bay window, with its
large sashes with curved plate glass. At
the opposite extremity of this room will
be a large fireplace with tile ornamental
ton. Alphabetically speaking, this
fireplace, with it's finishings, will proba-
bly, be one of the handsomest things
about the building. The room will be
finished with Southern pine wainscot-
ing six feet high, and with a timbered
Southern pine ceiling. The walls above
the wainscoting, will be finished with
adamant plastering, colored. Opposite
the public space the corresponding por-
ton of the building will be devoted to
the stack room and the librarians room.
There will be fifteen thousand volumes
in the. library to start with, but the
shelves will hold more than this num-
Der.
The trustees room will be in the rear
of the public space, and will be simply
finished. A large vault will be useful
adjunct of this room.
In accordance with Mr.. Walkers wish
his name will appear nowhere on the
building.
All who shall examine this plan will
conclude that Mr.. Walkers gift is most
magnificent one, and will be one of the
most cherished institutions of the city of

lions certainly, but how many7 1t takes
ones breath away in very truth when he
thinks of the possibility. Just think of
the value today Of the entire railroad
system of the United States, the tele-
graph reaching into every hole and cor
ner of the land, and the telephone sys-
tenn now in nearly every city Of any
size. Their value is billions Of dollars
not millions. Such must ultimately be
the value Of the same kind of property
in China, where there are 400, 100000
people, and where there is an area four
times the size of the United States.
Every Chinaman is on the make. I
don't care how small he is officially, or
how young he is in years, each and
every one of them is after the mighty
dollar. It matters not whether it is an
American dollar or British sovereign
or Chinese tael, it is all the same to the
pigtail gentry Of the empire. It is
very rare thing indeed for foreigner to
secure an audience with the prime min
lister of China; in fact it was even more
difficult than securing an audience with
James G. Blaine when he was secretary
of state, and that, you know, was re-
