Scarcely Anything in Daily Use

Is more common than paint, indoors or out; it is before us all the time We could not do with out it. Our doors, windows. walls, ceilings and stairs are all protected by paint often beautified by it. A vast amount of money is spent annually for paint-much of it fooishy, for it is not com modity that is we'll understood by the public. they are buying almost anything else that is to wear, they will get that which looks the best lasts fhe longest, gives most satisfaction and costs the least in proportion to it's value With naint they seem satisfied if it is called paint. Is
 it not reasonable to suppose that there is just as much difference in the quality of paint as oi cloth. silk or satin? Chiffon Paints cost more tt manufacture than any other, but they cost th' consumer less. because it takes less to do cer tain amount of work, and when once it is done I need not be touched for years.

his State and her interests, but he never al
lowed his judgment to be clouded by picayune
considerations, and his craftsmanship was
broad and catholic.
Leland Stanford was true philanthropist
His most princely act in this respect was the
gift of $20000,000 to the State of California to
endow a university in memory of his only
son, Leland, who died some years ago. The
university is the greatest result of the kind
ever accomplished by the hberality of one
man.
AS breeder of blooded horses he rad no
superior. No other breeder in the world has
obtained such turf records for his individual
stable.
1t is safe to say that no other man had ever
had wider influence over the general history
of California.
The Stanford palace, on Mob Hill, in San
Francisco. stands not only as one of the show.
places of the great West, but ranks among the
finest residences the continent, its picture
gallery being in itself a wonder.
In Washington, d. c., the life of Senator and
Mrs. Stanford was prominent one. The en-
tertainments Mrs. Stanford gave were notable
for their sumptuousness. Her dinners were
particularly elegant. The Senator's house was
open to all his friends and OH reception days
his house was thronged with strangers az well
as intimates. The Senator and his wife usually
gave dinner each year TO the Senate pages, and
at Christmas S. gold piece to each of these
little men.
