STANFORD'S ONLY SON.
The Child in Whose Honor the uni
yersfty Was Built,

The Child in Whose Honor the Uni
versity Was Built.
No prince or potentate, no founder
of a nation OIL emancipation of a race,
was ever honored with so magnificent
a monument as that which is being
erected to perpetuate the memory of a
13-year-old boy at Palo Alto, about
thirty miles south of San Francisco,
on the coast division of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. This child, the son
of Leland and Jane Lathrop Stanford,
died some years ago in Rome, while
he was making a tour of Europe with
his tutor. His father and mother al
most defied him, and dedicated one of
the largest fortunes that man has ever
accumulated entirely to the education
of other peoples children, who from
this time on forever are to render
homage to his name.
Everything is preserved as he left it.
The room he occupied in the great
villa, which has sheltered so much
wealth and luxury and gayety, has
never been disturbed. His p~laythings
lie as he placed them when he started
away for a few months of pleasure.
A toy railroad that was laid Gro
the lawn and through the shrubbery
to amuse him and give him a practical
knowledge of the occupation of his
father. and that which he vas expected
rails are pathetic witnesses to a men,
DRY hal must not be erased. and a
shed is pointed out in which the tiny
cars and locomotives. which cost
thousands of dollars, are preserved.
His crude cabineto of curious. marked
with his boyish hand, is the nucleus
of a 81, 900, 900 museum, $500 acres of
the best farming land in America. the
finest stock farm in the world. with
seventeen or eighteen high bredhorses,
5000 acres of vines, valuable real es-
tate in the city of San Francisco.
thousands of thoroughbred cattle and
personal property, which has been in
ventoried at S1S, DOC, 900 for taxation,
but is believed to be worth much more,
has been placed in the hands of a
board of trustees, who are to erect a
university, to be called by his name
and lend the influence of the child in
shaping the character and developing
the manhood and the womanhood of
generations that are to come.
His bones lie in a stately mausole-
umerected in a conspicuous place upon
the campus and those of his father
were lately placed beside them with
great ceremony and sorrow. a niche
remains for the mothers casket. when
the death angel calls her name. Then
the great bronze doors areto be sealed.
the key is t be melted, and the dust
that is sheltered by the massive walls
is to lie undisturbed until the last
trumpet sounds. for the Stanford fam
lily will be extinct.-ChicagO Record.

A Maine Volcano.

Although Haystack Mountain, in
Aroostook, is said to be the remains
of an extinct volcano, it has been the
general opinion that the trades of lava
in Maine we're conspicuous only by
their absence. But Prof. W. S. Bay
ley, of Colby University, is quoted as
proving by a series of rocks at North
Haven that Knox County once was the
seat of a great volcano, which was
subject to as violent eruptions as
Vesuvius. Even to the present day
lava sheets may be seer stretching
over the northern half of Vinhalhaver
"When Vesuvius was born," says
Prof. Bayley, SIT cast up ashes and
dust, which, in falling, burned the
cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The Maine volcano emptied similar
material, and in quantities large
enough to bury a dozen town." The
age of this old volcano, and eve its
exact site, are not yet known, but it is
such a perfectly preserved example of
an ancient volcano that it has attract
ed attention beyond the borders of the
State.-Boston Post.

WILL MARCH $50 MILES,.
Work CAt Out for Militia Visiting
h Chickamauga Battlefield.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 25.-Quite a
furore is being created in military
circles by the projected march of the
Capital City Guards from Atlanta to
Chickamauga on the occasion of the
dedication of the National Park which
has been constructed by the Govern
ment on the site of the battlefield. The
dedication ceremonies ar to last sew
eral days, and are to be conducted on
a large scale. The President and
Cabinet, the Governors of nearly all
the States, their staffs and the promi-
nent Federal and Confederate COM
manders will all be present All the
most celebrated militia organizations
from all parts of the country will be
present, but probably none will attract
more attention than the Capitol City
Guard, on account of the pluck, enter
prise and endurance manifested by
them in undertaking a march of 80
miles in order to be present, some
thing hitherto unheard of in the an
mails of militia troops except in time of
war.
The company will go fully equipped
with the regulation army wagons, car
rying their tents and accouterments.
The men will wear their service uni
form of jeans and drab hats, and will
each carry blankets. knapsack. haver-
sack, canteen. ETC., as we'll as their
arms and ammunition. They will car
ry subsistence with them, and the
men will do their own cooking. A
fully equipped medical department and
fife and drum corps will also be a fea-
ture of the trip. The company will be
under command of Capt. E. w. He
witt, and will be between forty and
fifty strong, exclusive of officers, band
and teamsters. In fact, there is little
doubt but what every man OF the com
pany roster will go.
1t is expected to Occnpy ten days in
all on the trip, six days marching en-
route from Atlanta to Chattanooga,
three days at Chickamauga and one
day returning by rail.

Superstitfons in the Kitchen.

1t is a genral popular belief through
out the United States that in making
cake the eggs, or indeed the whole
mixture, mast be stirred or beaten
from beginning to end in the same
direction in which the stirring began
or the cake will not be light, and that
a custard will curdle if the stirring
motion is reversed. This superstition
is still current even in households
where a patent egg beater is used,
which is so constructed hat its loops
of wire revolve in opposite ways at
the same time: and, although the re-
suit is most satisfactory, the belief in
the old rule of stirring ''only me
way; or in a dextrial direction, is
mistaken. Often it is said that the
stirring must be sunwise, the popular
expression for this dextral motion be-
ing with the sum-" The same notion
is found in Newfoundland; and a
woman from Aberdeen, Scotland, says
that it is a general belief among her
countrywoman that to succeed in any
household work where either stirring
or rubbing is involved, the movement
should always be with the sum-"
Some matrons in Northern Ohio say
that to insure good bread the dough
should be stirred with the sum-" and
that yeast should be made as near
sunrise as possible to secure lightness.
1t is also a common saying that if,
after turning the crank of a churn for
a time sunwise the most natural way
for a right-handed person. !, it be turn
ed backward, all the work done will
be undone. The same superstition is
found in Newfoundland. In Southern
Sweden cooks will tell you that, in
beating butter to a froth or in making
Gravy, the stirring must continue as
begun, to secure good results; and in
Eastern Massachusetts the superstition
extends even to the processes of max
ing ice cream and molasses candy.
The notion that lye soap will not
''come''-i. e. saponify-unless it is
stirred with the sun" is more or less
current in localities where this old
fashioned industry is yet carried on.
These and other instances of the ur-
vival of sun worshiping festival are
discussed by Frances Bergin in the
Popular Science Monthly for June
4.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Working the Corn crop.

The time to make corn is when the
plants are young ana growing. for it
is important to get the crop pushed
forward rapidly in order to escape the
dry season of summer. If the plants
make good Roadway, and are we'll
rooted, with large leaf capacity, they
will be better prepared to secure
moisture from below and to avoid the
usual drawbacks which befall the
small and tender plants that are late
in getting forward. 1t is also when
the corn is young that the cu%ltivator
should be used, as much as possible.
for any weeds or grass at the time the
young stalks are appearing interfere
with their progress. When it is re-
membered that a difference of two
weeks in a season may be the turning
point of loss or profit, with a crop OF
corn, too much attention a not be
given the details in the beginning. II
the land has been plowed and har.
rowed until the soil is deep and fine il
will prove of great advantage at this
time, and if kept loose and mellow
with the c%ultivator the ground will be-
come warm much o than if nc
care was taken, and more moisture
will also be secured from rains.
Corn is a gross-feeding plant, and
will not object to any kind of manure.
which may be broadcasted at the time
the land is prepared for the seed, bu'
it is seldom that farmers have a suf.
iciency of for a large field,
and they should not hesitate to ust
fertilizers. The best starter fol
corn is to mix 200 pounds of nitrate o.
soda with about 100 pounds of land
plaster the plaster serving as a drier)
and broadcast it over the soil, using
a small quantity on the hills around
the corn, if preferred. OF course, it i:
better to apply all fetilizers before
seeding the land, but if this has mo-
been done the nitrate may be used as
directed, and about a week later there
should be applied between the row:
about go pounds of sulphate of potash
and 300 pounds of bone meal. The
corn will show the beneficial effects o.
the nitrate of soda as soon as the frs
rain falls to dissolve it, and the
leaves will take on a deep green tinge,
which will indicate the appearance o
the plants as thrifty.-Philadelphia
Record.

Pensions for the Blind.

New York is kinder to its afflicted
one than is generally supposed. At
the office of the Superintendent of the
out door poor this afternoon a touch
ing scene was witnessed by many.
There the blind wards of the city, $50
in number, gathered to receive their
annual stipend of $50 each. Under
the law there is set aside a certain sum
to be distributed one a year among
such of the worthy adult blind as are
not in any charitable institution. The
ages of the blind pensioners ranged
from p to so odd, and there wasn't a
glum face in the whole lot. They
were neatly dressed and clean. The
payment of the pittance was a contin-
uous object lesson in gratitude as
shown by the expressive faces of the
afflicted recipients. Next year the
appropriation for the blind will be in
creased so as to raise the pension to
more than $40 each.-Pittsburg Dis
