FIRST HOUSE PILGRIMS BUILT
Where Settlers Modelled Civil
Form Of Government.

, Until they have gazed upon the
Rock, visitors to Plymouth town de-
cline, as rule, to see anything else.
Having performed that duty, they
usually stroll or spin up Leyden street,
which extends from a point con-
veniently near the Rock, to the foot
of Burial hill, where the Pilgrim fort
md watch tower used to frown down
upon the Indians. Leyden street is
New England's oldest thoroughfare.
Once it was called. quite APPLY, First
street.
On ones way up Leyden street one
must stop to look at the site of the
first house which the Mayflower pas
sengers erected in the wilderness. In
this structure the settlers had their
fling at the purest form Of democracy.
Here, modelling their civil govern
ment upon the compact which had
been drawn up in the cabin Of the
Mayflower while she was anchored
y in the harbor of Cape Cod, they dis.
cussed laws for their guidance, and
elected Myles Standish, by majority
vote, captain Of the Plymouth home
guard.

A True PHILOSOPHER.

, A retired sea captain, who lived in
Orland, Me-, was Unfortunately fond Of
his garden and very proud of it's neat
and well-kept appearance. One Sum-
day he returned from church and
found five hogs busily engaged in
wrccking his garden-the finest in all
Orland.
Leaning on the fence, he looked long
and earnestly at the result of their
depredations, and his wife shed few
tears. The passing neighbors paused
to look, and many a furtive glance
went to the face Of the captain to
set how he was taking it. At last
he hcaved de ep sign and put his
hand on his wife's arm.
"Neyer mind, Polly" he said. "You

Coal Bad Cargo for Ships.

Coal is a bad cargo for ships. for
soft coal heats if stacked deep, and
frequently is fired by spontaneous
combustion. In the open you can
stack coal 20 feet deep without fear
Of it's firing, but under cover not more
than Is or 16 feet.
The proof Of this statement is
shown by the fact that fires in cargoes
of 100000 tons of coal are only per
cent, while in cargoes over 1000 they
are actually nine times as numerous.
When large carEoes are stored for
long voyages, it is usual to bed iron
pipes deep in the holds so as to be able
to notice amy dangerous rise OF tenn
