i Monument in Honor to Mary Wash
ingtOn.

Down in Fredericksburg. Virginia.
monument has been erected to Mary
Washington, the mother Of the first
President of the United States.
The handsome park in which it
stands was the gift of the Eredericks-
burg Memorial Association. The shaft
will be shaded By the bougas Of trees
that we're transplanted there from
Mount Vernon. The grounds arc in
closed by handsome railing, and a
lodge has been built, where keeper
will always be in attendance. In this
pretty little building meetings of the
board that has in charge the building
Of the memorial will be held This
lodge is now occupied by woman Of
distinguished Fredericksburg family,
who acts as custodian. tits intended
that the grounds surrounding the mon
ument shall be decorated with shrubs
and flowers.
Within the enclosure lies the shaft
given many years ago by Silas Bur
rows Of New York. This was intend
ed for the monument, but the stone
was too much injured to be of any
service. There the stone lies, cher
ished gratefully by the Memorial As
sociation as tribute Of one man S
patriotism.
It is possible that next May the life
members Of the association will as
semble at Fredericksburg to receive
the Mary Washington monument into
their keeping and to formulate plans
50 that the monument and grounds
will forever be in the charge Of those
who have patriotism at heart and who
love and revere the names of those
who have made American history.
There are only six hundred life
members Of the association permitted,
and. with the exception of two hun
dred, this list is complete. To become
life member payment Of s25 is
necessary, and to the life member is
given silver star. A star Of gold is
given each member on the payment Of
an additional $40. This emblem Of
patriotism may be transmitted from
mother to daughter, or by bequest,
and the grave Of the mother Of Wash
ington will forever be protected against
decay and vandalism.
Thus far the association has e1pend-
ed $4,000, and now only $4,000 is
necessary to complete the work. Sara
A. Pryor, president Of the asso-
citation, who lives at No.. 3 West Sixty
ninth street, New York, has been
particularly active in obtaining patri-
OTIS as members Of the association and
looking after the work.

An ocean trolley line, which reaches
nearly a quarter of mile over the sea,
conveying either passengers or mer-
chandlse, is one of the curious sights to
be seen at Bear Harbor, on the Pacific
coast, not far from San Francisco.

strange trolley Is the carrying of lum-

big schooners which form the ocean ter

In connection with this novel trolley.
The power of gravity does most of the
hard work. The lumber schooners come
from the Mendoclno County ports. I'm
I'll year ago they were loaded by the
slow process of lighters plying to and
from the wharves. BY the new trolley
system lumber In any quantity can be

stacked, and thence to the deck of each

the lumber cage to the vessels by means
of a rope shot from mortar.-New

Earning Mans Wages.

The fact that others shirk Is n poor
reason for neglect to earn ones wages.
The Young Peoples Weekly prints the
following anecdote about boy who
was an honest worker:
One day, after severe storm, large
number Of men and boys were out on
the roads OF country town to shovel
out the drifts. Each workman was
paid quarter Of dollar an hour, and,
as may be supposed, there was no very
strict watch kept upon them; but one
little fellow seemed to be working with
all his might, and his comrades laughed
at him.
"Why, Jim, are you after the Job of
highway surveyor, or do you expect to
get more than the rest OF us for putting
in so?"
Lets put him out; he Is shortening
our job; 'twon't last till night, at this
rate" laughed another.
II am getting mans pay for the first
time In my life. and mean to earn It,"
said Jim. II don't suppose the town
cares, nor that l shall get any more
money at night; but shall feel big
sight better myself"
you've begun right. JIM" said the
surveyor, who was not very strict In be-
half of the town, but had business of
his own, where he appreciated work
men with a conscience.

Unfortunate Heroine.

One of the eceentricitles of the Eng
lish language was lately brought to the
notice of New England woman by her
Swedish maid. The girl had attended
Il night-school for some weeks, and was
much delighted with her attainments In
English. She expressed her wish to
try her knowledge of the language by
reading a story, and her mistress rec
commended for her perusal one called
"A Modern Cinderella" In magazine,

peared not to present any linguistic
pitfalls.
Did you like it, Bertha?" asked the
mistress when the magazine was re-
turned to her.
"Yas, maam," replied the girl, slow

trouble and dose glass eyes, too. My
brudder, he had one glass eye. and II

ALiterary Coincidence.

Plagiarism Is literary crime the
charge of which should not be made too
freely, especially where very eminent
person is concerned. Retentive memo
ries seem to be responsible for much
that in an outburst of indignant emo
tion we would lay to plagiarism. This.
however, can hardly explain the follow
ing, which can merely be called re-
markable coincidence. We have never
heard that the genial autocrat, Oliver
Wendell Holmes, was ever accused Of
stealing from Whittier, nor do we ever
remember that any one has said that the
Quaker poet borrowed from the ply
stefan. Nor do the circumstances of the
present case raise either issue
We picked up the other day at sec
ond hand bookstore copy of The At.
lantic Monthly of January, 1870 In it
we found that the two eminent poets
above mentioned while writing ON total
ly different themes gave two lines that
are strikingly alike. Mr.. Whittier's is
Never by lover my lips be kissed, >
and Dr. Holmes wrote, LIPS that lover
has never kissed /" 1t is rather an ex-
traordinary coincidence, as we have said.
How curiously and scientifically and
mystically the doctor must have explain
ed it all if his attention were ever call

"Monte Cristo" outdone.

The increase of wealth has been pro-
dlgious since the time Of our civil war,
especially in America. When | was a
boy, any one who had one hundred
thousand dollars to his name was con-
sidered fairly rich; but at present peo-
pie think little of a trifie like that.
Even in Europe, where fortunes are
gained much less rapidly than with us,
a property must now be many times
larger than in the first half of the cen
fury, before 1t begins to dazzle society.
suppose some of you have read "Mon-
tie Cristo;" and you know that few
things were too extravagant for the
Imagination of Alexandra Dumas. He
meant that his romantic hero should
lead the whole world In magnificence,
and probably thought of giving him
the biggest bank-account ever heard of.
But Monte Cristo was worth only a
fraction of what several real men now
living can show. This was not the sort
of mistake you would have expected
from Dumas. 1t would have cost him
only stroke of the pen to multiply the
hoard In the Mediterranean island a
hundred times; but although his novel
was written when he was 40 years old
he could not foresee that his fiction
would be utterly dlstanced by solid
sacts before he died.-St. Nicholas.

The story of Home. sweet pome.

time "Home, Sweet Home" was sung
In public. When the government at
tempted to harmonic the contendlng
factions In the dispute ON the Georgia
Tennessee boundary line. by establish
Ing trading post there, John Howard
Payne was accused of melting the dis
satisfied Indians and half-breeds, and
was arrested and carried to the coun.
I'll house.
An Indian, who committed suicide on
The grave OF his wife and child, was
buried In the presence of n number of
men, among whom was Payne. As the
body of the Indian was lowered into
the grave. Payne hummed to himself
the song that has become so famous.
General Bishop called the young man
to him and said sternly:
"Where did you learn that songfp
81 wrote 1t myself" answered Payne.
"Where did you get the tuner"
81 composed that also"
"Will you give me copy of it?"
Certainly"
We'll" said the old Indian fighter,
appearances may be against you, but
n man who can write song like that
is no incendlary, and l am going to set
you free"
Payne had been living In the house
of a nelghborlng family, and on his
return he related the circumstances,
and showed the pass that General
Bishop had given him. That was the
first time that 'IIome, Sweet Home"
was ever heard in enthusiastically
