ing powders are composed of an acid

bined, should when they unite at once
destroy themselves and produce car
bonic acid gas. A good baking powder
does its work while the loaf is in the
oven, and having done it, disappears.

MEDICAL DISCO VERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF RoxBuRY, MASS,


Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Serofula
down to a common Pimple.
He has tried itin over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder hurnor). Hehas now inhis
possession over two hundred certificates
Of its value, all within twenty miles Of
Boston.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in a week
after taking it.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.

THE STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
The Richest College In the World
Wealth Hard to Estimate.

= L.
Wealth Hard to Estimate.
The newspaper accounts of the estate
left by the late Senator Stanford have
started speculation as to the value OF
his endowment of the university which
bears his name. Few people have any
definite idea of the actual sum Of
money represented by the property
which will come into the possession Of
the trustees of the university when
Mrs. Stanford dies.
That property consists of three piece
of land-Palo Alto, 8,4O0 acres, OF
whicha large portion is under high
cultivation, being planted in vines
which have been found to suit the soil;
Gridley, %, 900 acres, which have been
planted to wheat and will probably be
gradually planted in vines, and VIVA,
$4,000 acres, of which between 1000 and
5000 acres are planted in vines. OF
these three the Vina estate is, of
course, the most valuable. There are,
in round numbers, 10000 grapevines
on the estate, which yielded last year
1900 tons of grapes. When all the
vines now planted are in full bearing
the product will be something like
10000 tons Of grapes per year; and the
vineyard is growing from year to year.
A large portion of the Vina estate is
used, for raising horses of all the
various breeds, and other portions are
employed as COW pastures, sheep past
ures and hog pastures. It is difficult
to form an adequate idea of the money
value of such land at the present time
and almost impossible to guess
what it will be when a better knowl-
edge Of the peculiarities of soil
and climate and the handling Of
the grapes will enable California
wines to command the same price as
the foreign product. But land which
will grow five tons Of grapes to the
acre has definite and well-known
value in France and Germany, and
there is no reason whyit should be
different here. 1t is worth as nearly
as possible 81, 900 an acre in the Gironde8
and on the Rhine, and though it could
not be sold for any such sum at present
in this state, it will earn interest on
that amount. Thus the Vina vineyard
alone represents an endowment to the
college Of $1,000, 900 and a present In
come Of about $40, 600 y year. This, it
will be remembered, is exclusive of the
Palo Alto property, the Gridley ranch,
and the ffty-odd thousand acres Of
land at Vina not planted in vines. If
all the land in the three properties
which is suited to vine-growing were

An Instance Which Shows Wonderful
Saxacity In Two Animals.
A writer in Nature from the Ruskin
museum, Sheffield, records an instance
of sagacity in horses. From the win
dow opposite, he says, Lhave just wit
messed an interesting performance on
the part of two horses. Bordering the
park is a strip Of land, doomed to be
built upon, but meanwhile lying waste
and used for common pasturage, on
which the horses under notice were
leisurely grazing. A pony in cart,
having been unwisely left by the
owner for a time unattended on the
grass, suddenly started off, galloping
over the uneven ground at the risk Of
overturning the cart. The two horses,
upon seeing this, Immediately joined
in pursuit with evident zest. My first
superstition, that they were merely
joining in the escapade in frolicsome
spirit, was at once disproved by the
methodical and business-like manner
Of their procedure. They soon reached
the runaway, by this time on the road,
one on one side of the cart and one on
the other; then, by regulating their.
pace, they cleverly contrived to inter-
cept his progress by gradually coming
together in advance Of him, thus
stopping him immed iately in the tri-
angular corner they formed. Until
the men came up to the pony:s head
they remained standing thus together
quite still; then the two horses, evil
IDENTIFY satisfied that all was now right,
without any fuss trotted back again
together to their grass. 5-s - 81

!. why Fish Are white Underneath.

There is no phenomenon Of nature
that escapes the investigating eye Of
science. In England they have lately
been experimenting with founders in
order to determine whether the white
ness Of the under sides Of those fish is.
due to the exclusion Of the light, and
the presence of color on their upper
sides to exposure to light They have
kept the fish Experimental on living in
a glass tank having mirror placed be-
meath, SO as to reflect light upon the
under sides Of the fish. One OF these
prisoners has survived for three years
under conditions SO strangely different
from It's ordinary habits Of life, and all
of them have exhibited the develop
ment Of spots Of pigment on the lower
surfaces. The erimenters have cons
scluded that it is exposure to light that
causes the colorat ton Of the upper parts
OF the bodies not only OF founders but
OF other fish, and conversely, that it is
to the comparative absence Of light
that the Wilderness Of the under side Of
the fish is due. They extend y same
principle to explain the color6s condi-I
ton Of the skins Of many animals that
pass MI their lives inscaves. -- Yonth'ss

Ant Voices.

there are probably sounds in nature
too acute to be distinguished by the hui

clear to the auditory sense of other
members of the animal kingdom.
Attention has just been called at a
meeting of the British chronological
society to a very interesting case in
point. According to Or. Sharp ants
have the most perfect sound-producins
organs that have yet been discovered
in insects.
These are situated upon certain seq
ments of the abdomen of some species
of ants examined by him, the sounds
being produced by rubbing.
But DR.. Sharp has not heard these
ant voices, nor nus anybody else. al.
though he is conv, ed of their exist.

Origin of the Hello"

"Hello" is almost a new word, as II
differs in form, sound and use from
from the old "halloo." 1t is merely
mentioned by Webster, and the search
err for information is referred to
"halloo," which is defined as an inter
lection, a loud call or the noise Of the
hunt. The forms there given-"hal.
loa' and "halloo"-are not we'll adapt.
ed to the American tongue, neither
are they susceptible of the variety OF
expression that can be given to
..hello." Probably the word "halloo'
grew out: of the call hail, OH" which
was almost universally used by way
farers in 'olden time when hating at a
house along the way. Hail, oh! the
house." was another form quite com.
mon in this section in early times.
This would quite naturally take the
form of "hal-loo!- the house." How.
ever, this derivation is not given by
Webster, but merely suggests itself.
