STANFORD'S ONLY SON.
The Child In Whose Honor the University
Was Built.

No prince or potentate, no founder of
nation or emancipator of race, was ever
honored with SO magnificent q monument
as that erected to pcrpetuate the memory
OF 13-year-old boy at Palo Alto, about 80
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 tour of Eu-
rope with his tutor. His father and moth
or almost deifled him and dedicated one of
the largest fortunes that man has ever ac-
cumulatcd entirely to tho 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 dis
turbed. His playthings lie as he placed
them when he started away for a few
months Of pleasure. A toy railroad that
was laid across 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 was expected
to follow, still lies there. Its rusty rails
are pathetic witnesses to a memory that
must not be erased, and shed is pointed
out in which the tiny cars and locomo-
tives, which cost thousands of dollars, are
preserved.
His crude cabinet of curios, marked with
his boyish hand, is the nucleus Of ST.
900, 900 museum; 8, 500 acres Of the best
farming land in America, the finest stock
farm in the world, with II or 18 high
bred horses, 5000 acres of vines, valuable
real estate in the city Of San Francisco
thousands of thoroughbred cattle and per-
sonal property, which has been inventoried
at SIS, 600, 900 for taxation, but is believed
to be worth much more were placed
in the hands of board of trustees, who
were to erect university, to be called by
his name and lend the influence Of the
child In shaping the character and develop
ing the manhood and the womanhood of
generations that are to come.
His bones lie in stately mausoleum
erected in a conspicuous place upon the
campus and those of his father were late
ly 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 are to be sealed, the key is to be
melted, and the dust that is sheltered by
the massive walls is to lie undisturbed un-
til the last trumpet sounds, for the Stan
ford family will be extinct.-San Francis
CO Letter in Chicago Record.

No Good HerOines.

The one great defect in the late Robert
Louis Stevenson's writings has always
been in his inability to make woman
There have been attempts of late to knock
down this oft repeated, often referred to
statement. Whatever the truth may be,
his girls are rarely good company, and few
of them are human beings at all. Tho un.
sympathetic Mamie in 1.-THE Wrecker" is
very living, it must be owned, but she is
exceptional. Esther, in ''The Story of a
Lie" barely breathes-only just enough
to make your dislike of her a reality.
What is wanting in her and in most of the
others? Stevenson differentiated, conceived
complex girl characters, invented personal
traits, gave them very human vices and
foibles; but it is all of no avail. He was
working entirely from the outside, and
this is rather remarkable in man of such
dclicately sensitive and even feminine in
stincts. Perhaps his failures arose from
very frequent source OF such-an exaggcr
alton of the differences between the male
and female character. er.-Philadelphia Ledg.

Tho Caro- OF shrubbery.

Tho practice of shearing bushes in the
winter time has been repeatedly shown to
be as destructive to the object aimed at as
1t Is Objectionable to good taste. The prop
or time to prune shrubbery is after the
towering is over; then all weak and puny
branches should be out out to the ground
In cases where the bushes are low, with
such plants as spiraea, for instance, nearly
all those which flower in the spring should
be removed and new set of strong shoots
suffered to come out near the ground. Tho
result is we'll formed natural specimen,
which will bloom profusely the following
year and yet be kept within the limited
bounds desired, or if the plant is not re-
quired to be kept down to small dimen-
sions, but a large, vigorous bush is de-
sired, still the summer pruning should be
tho rule, for il the whole branch be not
cut out Of the ground the vigorous shoots
should be checked by having the very
strongest ones pinched back
No amount Of theoretical advice, how
ever, will enable one to do just the right
thing. Grand success must come from
experience and observation. If we keep in
mind that very strong shoots rob and
weaken those not as strong as themselves,
and that this vigorous growth is to bo
checked as it is going on, we get the chief
element in success. All the rest must
come from experience and the rule can be
applied to each particular class, according
to the object aimed at.-Meehan' Month

moral and spiritual worlds are all under the domain of natural law, and that there is nothing supernatural anywhere. All that is, is either matter or soul Soul is the everywhere persistent energy or life, and we call it God. Infinite soul express es itself through an infinite, material uni verse; and we, as individual, finite souls, express ourselves by our feshly body, which will be freed from it's physical GOV ering by the change called death By adapting our actions and our mode of fife to the natural laws that reveal God to us, we are safe, and have already begun to tread the shining, upward path of endless progression. In the evening Miss JudsOn spoke on death. She said it's terror was caused by the supposition that we entered supernatural realm by dying, and by the erroneous notion that we are in danger of going to fixed and endless place of tor ment. Showing that man is constituted of soul physical body and spiritual body, she said that it was only our outside cOv- ering, the mantle of flesh, that disinte- gratcs after what is called death, while we, the real individual, go on in spiritual conditions, still endowed with a body ma terial, though finer and more ethereal than the one we have laid aside. We shall be recognizable still, and we shall recog- nize our dear ones who passed on before :; though, if they are progressing spirits, they will look more beautiful and glori- ous than when they breathed their last on the earth plane. She described how Lou ise Alcott saw her sisters spiritual form pass out of the body and go up, and she gave accounts of persons who have seen clairvoyantly the spirits of those who hnd just died, and of their being welcomed and led upward by those whom they loved the most. *a*

Who will dispute that evidence years old. The governor is of opinion that Columbus brought the brick over in 1492, but forgot to deliver it to the con- tractor at Stafford until five years later. Stafford Illustrated" gives picture of this house and says of it:
 That the house described as ''the old est house in Stafford" is entitled to that distinction, there can be no reasonable doubt; but it's exact age is matter of controversy. The records clearly estab- fish the fact that it was in existence in 17S5, and that it was not, at that time, a new structure. In that year, Calvin Ed son became it's proprietor; and there is reason to believe that it was purchased by his father, Timothy Edson, from John Phelps, the noted iron manufacturer, in 1765-and was, even then, an "old house."
