Old Boats.
Troy Budget.

Rev. a. A. Brockway, of Syracuse, for
merry OF the EgyPtlaen EApIIoratlon society,
brought with him a cedar, boat thirty, feet
long, eight feet beam and four feet hold.
thai was more than 4500 years old. 1t was
found near the Dashur pyramids. "A large
part of the original woodwork is intact. A
peculiar shaped rudder was found, but the
oar locks and other equipments are gone.
Five of these boats We're found deeply
buried in the sand. and are the oldest boats
in existence. The decoration indicates that
they were employed to carry offerings to
the royal dead in the pyramids Archaeo-
logical students have determined the age of
the boats, and believe that when the dynas-
ties they had served had passed away they
were relgiously buried to rest forever near
the monuments of their masters. This
resurrection of cedar boats shows that, as
Wendell Phillips said, there is nothing new
under the sun. Paper boats, of Troy in
vention and make, have largely superseded
cedar boats after a nearly five-thousand
years era of the latter. The cedar boats.
though good for fifty centuries. are being
retired, and they may as well be entombed
in the pyramids with their ancestors. Com
pared with paper boats. they are no good.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
1t Is Being Helped Out by Another
Donation.
The Pathfinder.

The Pathfinder.
Thomas W. Stanford, brother of the late
Senator Leland Stanford, has invested the
$500, 900 which was left him by the will of
his brother in a library for the students of
Stanford. One-half will be expended in the
erection of q building and the other half
will be put in an endowment at the rate of
per cent, If possible, so as to provide Il
fund of $500 a year perpetually for the
purchase of new books. Mrs Leland Stan
ford is now on her way to Europe to make
a study Of modern library buildings Mrs.
Stanford's Jealous and self-sacrihctng eff
forts to uphold the university through
financial difficulties are most extraordinary.
Tt is really due to her and her efforts that
her brother-in-law, Mr.. Thomas Stanford,
story of this gift is an interesting one.
When Mr. Leland Stanfords estate was tied
up, as 1t had been for some time, by legal
proceedings 1t seems the university could
scarcely keep up. But Mrs Stanford de-
clared it should. She surrendered nearly
every cent of her income from the estate
property and even on her jewels to main
tain the institution. She has been for some
time and still is practicing self-sacr1fice
and economy in every way possible even
giving up her horses and carriages.
When Thomas Stanford learned these
facts down in Australia he placed at the
disposal of his sister-in-law 100000, the
amount he is to inherit under the will, with
instructions that she was to use the interest
and the principal so far as necessary to
provide herself with the same luXuries that
She had been accustomed to during the life
time of her husband and to pay the ex-
penses of her household. Mrs. Stanford de-
clined to accept the money on those terms.
She said that she was doing very Well and
that she enjoyed the sacrifices she was
making, and with the aid of kind friends in
this country would be able to pull through
until the suit was decided. But she told
Mr.. Thomas Stanford that the university
was in pressing need of funds and that she
would be glad to have the use of the money
to assist in maintaining it until the rev.
enues Of the estate were released by the
court.
He cheerfully assented not only to the
lending of the money, but to donating it for
the universitys use And the newspapers
state that Mr. Thomas Stanford has be-
come SO interested in the university that he
has made his will defeating his entire es-
tate to that institution. Stanford has had
many dark hour but its prospects are
Frightening now.

over the prospects of peace that every
