New Gift from Mrs. Stanford,

Mrs. Jane Stanford has made an
other gift to Stanford university. Be-
fore she left for Europe few days ago
she executed deeds transferring to the
institution 100 acres of land in Las
sen county and 16O acres Of land in
Tehama county, California. All this
land was recently purchased by Mrs.
Sanford to secure valuable water
rights and grazing land for the big
hocks of sheep owned by her. The
sheep constitute one of her best as
sets today, and eventually they will
be transferred to Vina Ranch, which
is already owned by the university.
Mrs. Stanford has gone for three
months tour. While away, it is said,
she contemplates spending 81, 600, 600
for rare articles for the university
museum.

Horses and Men.

Study of the relation between the
total length of life and the time re-
ouired to reach maturity has bought
out an interesting comparison between
men and horses. A horse OF five years
is said to be, comparatively, as old as
a man at 20, and may be ex-
pected to behave, according to equine
standards, after the manner OF the
average college student following
human standards. A ten-year-old
horse resembles, so far as age and ez-
perience go, man of 40, While horse
which has attained the ripe age OF 30
is comparable with man of go years.

SAYS WE NEED NEW NAME.

Prof. Wnserhouso EavOrs Calling
This Country Usonn" " Hereafter.
The st. Louis Republic publishes
with favorable editorial comment, an
article furnished by Professor Water
house Of Washington University, on
the subject of a proper name for this
country; the chief points Of which are
herewith given:
"At present there is no proper name
that distinctively describes this coun-
try. Columbia and America apply to
the whole western hemisphere. The
people of Canada and Mexico, of Cen
tral and South America are all Ameri-
cans and might justly resent the pre-
tension which claims that title exclu-
sively for the inhabitants Of the United
States Of North America.
""The United States is an awkward
expression. 1t is plural in form. and
singular in sense. 1t does not afford
personal or adjective derivatives
United Statesmen and United States
Ian are ihadmissibly harsh. United
States Of North America Is an exact
designation of this country. The first
letters oe these words form the word
'Usona.' This term is agreeable to the
ear, singular in number and precise In
definition. Its introduction would SUBJ
stitute for the incomplete. United
States an address so full and exact
| that NO foreigner could misunderstood
1t. r.
Formerly the press indicated that
Its general information was gathered
from the four quarters Of the globe by
placing at the heads of its columns
North, East, West South From the
initials of these words some assert
that the term news was derived. :
"It is facetiously said that United
States stands for Uncle: Sann,' and this
burlesque personifcat!on has found q
permanent place In our language. The
baptismal names of Generals Grant
and Jackson have been supplanted b,
the universally used names which ac
cident or valor gave. Physicists have
invested the utterly inexpensive watt
volt, ohm and ampere with technica
meanings and have introduced. them
into the Technology Of electrical sci
ence. ~.
"In fine, use can create and popu'
| 1or ri1a ne1v farms Do not, the words
'Usona' and 'Usonian' so fully, sub
serve the needs of exact address and
grammatical convenience as to deserve
q place In our language? The press
can, If 1t will, effect the adoption OF
these new words" -.

Great Falls, April 13.-The great ar

westward with spring is represented
here by its vanguard. For several days
strange faces of the hobo type have
appeared on the streets, though that
class of men has not been obnoxious.
Later every freight and box car that

the police will be kept busy pushing
them along.
This morning two specimens were
down in the bad lands about 8
o'clock trying to sell a turkey and some
fowl which they carried in a sack. They
assured the women that they need not
be afraid to buy, for they had plenty
more near at hand. Officers Sheeny
and Hogan were summoned and the
two men booked at the police alton
as Pat Murphy and Ed Hart, while the
officers hunted for some one who had
lost his poultry. Hart admitted that
they were stolen and said that he had
obtained them on the west side, but
could not give the exact location. He

The Legend of Eve.

Allusions to Eden in the Old Testa-
ment literature are extremely scarce,
and the story of Ewes temptation first
assumes prominence in the writings of
st. Paul, says John Fiske in the April
Atlantic. The marks of Zoroastrian
thought in it have often been pointed
out. This garden of Eden is a true
Persian paradise situated somewhere
in that remote wonderland of Aryana
Vaejo to which all Iranian tradition is
so fond of pointing back. The willy SER
pent is q genuine Parsee serpent, and
the spirit which animates him is that
of the malicious and tricksome AIR
man, who takes delight in going about
after the good creator OrmuZd and
spelling his handiwork. He is not yet
identified with the terrible Satan, the
accusing angel who finds out mems evil
thoughts and deeds. He is simply a
mischief-maker, and the punishment
meted out to him for his mischief re-
minds one of the curious passage in
the beast epos of primitive peoples. AS
in the stories which tell why the mole
is blind and why the fox has bushy
tail, the serpent's conduct is made to
account for some of his peculiar attri-
butes. AS a punishment he is made to
crawl upon his belly and be forever an
especial object of dread and loathing
to all the children Of Eve.
What, then, is the crime for which
the serpent Ahriman thus makes bitter
expiation? In what way has he spoiled
Ormuzd's last and most wonderful Gre
alton? He has introduced the sense of
sin; the man and the woman are afraid
and hide themselves from the Lord
whom they have offended; yet he mas
been not altogether deceiving serpent.
In one respect he has spoken profound
truth. The man and woman have be-
come as gods. In the Hebrew story
Jehovah says: Behold the man has be-
come as one of u.s." that is to say, one
of the Elohim or heavenly host, who
know the good and the evil. Man has
apparently become a creature against
whom precautions need to be taken. 1t
is limited that by eating of the other
tree and acquiring immortal life he
would achieve some result not in ac-
Cordance with Jehovahs will, yet
which it would be too late to prevent
Accordingly, any such proceedings are
forestalled by driving the man and wo-
man from the garden, and placing SEN
tinels there with a fiery sword which
turns hither and thither to warn off all
who would tread the path that leads to
the tree of life. He has come to know
too much, and Ahriman's heinous crime
has consisted in helping him to this in
terdicted knowledge.

TO TEACH THE MANLY ART
A Butte Woman DESTROYS of Such
an Opportunity.
SOMETHING NEW BOBS UP
And Billy Woods Finds Himself in the
Midst of Brisk Competition.
officer Sheehey Throws
Up His Star.
SOMETHING NEW BOBS UP

Billy Woods has a competitor in his
efforts to establish a school for the
teaching of the manly art, and one
whose rivalry he has reason to fear,
since the competitor seeks to secure
quarters in the library building as
he does, and more that the competitor
is woman. Billy has for a long time
been trying to engineer scheme for
organizing an athletic club, in order
that he might get the job of instructing
it, and now has proposition pending
before the council for the use of the
armory. Now comes a competitor who
is giving him great deal of worry, for
fear that because of her sex she may
prove a more successful lobbyist with
the aldermen than he.
Billy's competitor is Mrs. Godfrey,
who filed an application with the city
clerk yesterday for the use of the Au
ditorium for the purpose of giving in
struction in all branches of manly
science, including dancing class.
While Mrs. Godfrey's written applica-
ton does not mention a desire to rent
the Armory, she stated when told she
would hardly be able to secure the Au-
ditorium that she thought the Armory
would serve, and this is what agitates
Billy for he realizes that with female
competitor in the field his chances of
concentrating his scheme are material
~ diminished. There is no doubt a fe-
male instructor in the art of manly
science would be a great novelty who
would
card, and whereas others have failed
in their efforts to get up class that
would pay, she would doubtless be a
signal success.
The council has not hitherto shown
much of an inclination to rent either
the Auditorium or Armory for such
purposes, so Billy's fears are as yet
unfounded. In fact there is no great
likelihood either proposition will go
through, and two budding ambitions
are likely to be blighted.
Policeman D. d. sheehey took his
cue yesterday from the action of the
police committee the night before in
deciding to recommend his discharge
from the force, and without waiting
for the council to act on the commit
tee report, rendered his resignation

Sheehey appeared at police headouar

We're filed against him numerous times.
While in all previous instances he was
nominally exonerated it was more be-
cause of mistaken idea on the part
of the aldermen that policemen should
be upheld than anything else. AS one
