The StanfOrds.

Mrs Stanford, the widow q the
deceased millionaire, is said to possess
g.. 900, 600 worth Of precious stones.
These are kept in a black, burglar
proof steel safe with time lock.
One feature of the collection is a
diamond necklace worth 5000, 900.
The sets of diamonds include one OF
pink diamonds one Of blue diamonds
with most attractive violet rays a
third with diamonds as yellow and
very nearly as big as canary birds and
a fourth OF diamonds Of pure white.
Mr.. Stanford firmly believed that he
had heard his unburied sons voice

don't say you have nothing to live
for. You have a great deal to live
for" In that dream the university of

Are These Loving Mothers?

A woman writing In weekly jour
nal talks very sensibly Of some mat
tiers touching the treatment OF chill
dren, which are pertinent to all
mothers. She says: 1--WE love our
children very much, but we are curl
Ously cruel to them. Who does not
know the child In a small hood in the
hot summer sun, getting its eyes
hurt In the dazzling light? Who does
not know the babies under the hand
kerchiefs which keep them breathing
the same air over and over again?
Who does not know the bare arms,
bare legs and bare necks Of little ones
whose delicate frames are far less
fitted than ours would be to bear the
same exposure? A mother was talk
ing about these matters to me once,
and said: oh, l could not bear TO
cover his neck. / do so love kissing
1t" She was what you call very
loving mother There are certainly
many and different ways of showing
love. We are reminded of that ex-
cellent lady who said: kissing don't
last, but cookery do and we say,
kissing don't last, but good health
do II our imaginations were now
more awake and our willingness to
obey custom were less active. we
could, not only in clothes but also in
food, given them better chance to
grow up with sight and hearing act
i've and vigorous, and all their pow
ers OF mind and body ready to do the
work which lies before them"

Washing the Face.

least one woman
in New York at

she says: "Ah,

she was 70 it was like rose leaf, and
she had not washed her face for
twenty-six years." Similar stories
are told of Nine. Patti and other
persons of remarkably fine complex
ions but the truth of these is not
vouched for by reliable authorities.
On the other hand there is woman
living in New York who makes a
practice OF washing her face every
night with soap and hot water. She
is over so years old, her skin is satin
smooth, and the coloring as delicate
as that OF young girl. A friend of
hers. who is of about the same age,
and has complexion rivalling the
others, puts only clear. pure water on
her face, and has not touched it with
soap in fully twenty years The
weight OF evidence is with the people
who use soan but all agree in saying
that only the finest, purest soap must
be employed, and that every particle
OF it must be rinsed of. Authorities
on the matter assert that the face
should not be washed oftener than
once day, and that the water
should never be dashed over 1t, as is
the delightful IL reprehensible prac.
tice Of most men and some women.
Very little water should be used, and
1t should be applied with soft cloth.

dates with the Eads bridge Company.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. THE articles in regard to
the famous modus vivendi between the Mer-
chants Terminal Railway and the Eads Bridge
Association were filed with tho Secretary Of
State at Jefferson City to-day.
The terms Of consolidation indicate clear
surrender on behalf Of the Merchants Ter
m;nal Company to the Eads Bridge Company.
and 1t is inferred by the terms OF tho contract
that the former companys lines. bridges. and
terminal facilities will be operated by the Fads
Company under a Joint management
One OF tho stpulations Of the surrender is
that the Eads Bridge Company shall purchase
1854 shares Of stock Of the Merchants Ter
minal Bridge Company. and shall also endorse
$1,000. 600 Of their common stock.
This consolidation is looked at in an unfa-
yorable light by the mercantile interests Of st.
Louis. who fostered and encouraged the build
ing OF the st. Louis Merchants bridge. and the
feeling among the wholesale dealers Of the city
is SO intense that 1t is probable the question OF
another bridge across the Mississippi River
will be aRitated.
