Interesting Search.
The progressive students OF Stanford
have begun . scientific exploration Of
the great mound near Castro station,
some four miles east Of the university
grounds This immense pear-shaped
mound of earth marks the last resting
place Of hundreds, possibly thousands,
Of the simple-minded children OF ma
ture, who, in times long gone by, held
undisputed title to this beautiful
region, and with these crumbling
bones are inferred the implements. or
naments, the remains Of campfres, and
other evidences which tell the story OF
the daily life Of these people who were
but are not.
The mound, says the San Francisco
Examiner, lies with its longer axis
north and south, and measures four
hundred and seventy feet In length BY
three hundred and twenty In width.
having an area Of nearly two acres. In
height it ranges from about two feet
at the southern end 70 ten feet 1t Its
highest point, near the northern ex-
tremity.
The soil used in is construction WAS
originally the ordinary black adobe.

was evidently taken from the territory
immediately surrounding the mound.
and In process Of time the great trench
thus formed became . swamp with its
Characteristic growth Of long grsssea
and scrubby willows.
Diligent inquiry among the older
residents OF the neighborhood has
failed to elicit anything Trustworthy
concerning its history. There ts:a dim
tradition. indeed. thatwhen this region
was first visited by whites the mound
marked the site of . hourishing Indian
village. but it is impossible to say just
how much cAedence should be given to
this story. Nothing as get taken from
the mound would indicate that Its
builders had ever had any desdings
with the representa- tives of civfaization.

would very much rather be racing up

Mr.. Garner pitied the poor little
monkey, and he stopped beside him.
Pretty soon he gave the sound which

The monkey heard it at once and
looked up.
Mr.. Garner repeated 1t.
The monkey responded, and Mr.. Gar

which meant drink, and the monkey,
delighted, quickly showed that 2 drink

was given to him. Then the poor lit

Tomorrow afternoon, the weather per-
hitting the ladies in charge of the Chill
dren's Country Home will give their friends
and well-wisherS an opportunity to con-
tribute to the support of this worthy charity
by means Of a garden party, to be held on
the grounds of the home. The season is
about to open. the children are waiting
with greatest eagerness for a chance to get
into the fresh air and woods, and the funds
of the institution need replenishing The
managers have decided to give this garden
party 10 furnish their contributors an op-
portunity to enjoy an afternoon in the
country themselves. The home is to be
reached by a most delightful drive being
located on Grant road near Broad Branch
1t is about ten minutes walk from the
Chevy Chase cars, which should be left at
the Grant road, where conveyances will be
in waiting. The grounds will be open from
to I O'Clock, and refreshments will be
served. There will be special feature in
the form of n table devoted to the building
fund of the home. The present structure Is
hardly large enough to accommodate the
scores upon scores of children who desire
this fortnight Of recreation. and an addi-
ton has become a necessity. Hence the
building fund. There are now accommo-
dations for twenty little ones to be taken
at 4 time. and this year the pressure for
places at -he home is tremendous The
home opens on the 21st of June and the
lists are now overlooking.

slowly reaching the conclusion that it will
be impossible for them to remain together
