The San Francisco Argonaut, COM
menting upon the endowment Of the
University which bears the name Of
the late Leland Stanford, says that
the property which will come into its
possession when Mrs. Stanford leaves
this world includes 8, 400 acres at
Palo Alto, $4,000 acres at Gridley,
and SO, 900 acres at Vina, and that
IF all the land in the three proper
ties which is suited to vine growing
were planted in vines it would repre-
sent the enormous sum OF 5000, OOO,-
900 and an annual income of over
81 200, 900 year." The "if," how
ever, is the uncertain quantity which
stands in the way Of knowing what
this endowment means. Many
ranches in California valued at mill
ions yield no net revenue, and the
great body of the land donated to
this university thus far has yielded
little beyond the taxes and operative
expenses. Until these lands can be
rendered profitable no revenue valua-
ton can be put upon them. The
real endowment is the So, 500, 900 Of
interest bearing bonds left in the
will by Mr.. Stanford, which ought to
! yield 1925, 600 per annum to meet the
running expenses of the University.
| Mr.. Stanford has done a noble and
generous act in eadowing the uni

mains to be seen.

Hot Weather.

Hot. suffocating weather is depress-
ing on dairy interests in many ways,
and hot wave is especially dreaded
by manufacturers. On the farm the
cows give less milk, for they are loll-
ing in the shade instead Of grazing,
and it requires the utmost vigilance
and care to keep the milk sweet and
untainted for twelve hours The ad-
vantage of the shade trees and plenty
of pure water in the pasture becomes
very great in torrid weather for the
comfort of the animals and the per-
petuation of normal quality and
quantity OF milk.

A JUDGE in Harrodsburg, KY, is a
yeritable solon. A number of negro
boys, caught burglarizing d house,
were brought before him. They were
all young, and he wisely decided not
to send them to the penitentiary.
Instead he sent out for the boys
mothers, and dozen rawhides, ex.
planned the case to the mothers, and.
as the New York alderman remarked
to the gondolas, @let nature take its
course" Punishment to tit the crime
was served up right there in the
court room and justice was satisfied.

The thrifty burglar is reported as
getting in his work in fine shape all
over the country. The fraternity
recognize their enlarged opportunities
whenever the stocking is substituted
for the bank as the custodian of the
family savings. 1t is a remarkable
fact that those people who have least
faith in banks have most in the
stocking. They are easy game for
the smooth house burglar.

THE long -talked-of ship canal across
Cape Cod seems likely to be soon real

already been pledge to the work, and
enough more is in sight to make sue

a short cut from Buzzard's Bay to
Boston harbor will add materially to
the commerce OF Boston. 1t is only
strange that the work has not before
been done.

In ordinary passenger cars there

In ordinary passenger cars there
are nineteen tons of non-paying
weight hauled to one ton of paying
passenger weight. 1t is and should
be the aim of builders of modern cleo
trio railroads TO reduce this proper
ton, and it is believed that on the
proposed line between Chicago and
St. Louis tae ratio may be made as
low as five to one.
