sity at Palo Alto, on which the Stan

who. conscious perhaps that his earthly
life was short. but eternity long, sug-
gested to his parents that their vast
wealth should be used for building up
character and making true men and
women who by education should enrich
the world. Almost his last words to his
parents. as they sat by his side. watch
ing the fading away of the dear one,
was: Live for humanity's sake, to feed
the poor, to clothe the naked!"

another century passes away it will be
in universal use by every civilized coun-
try on the globe. -.
