Thus strangely, far from the graves
of those two who have been to her all
the world, Mrs. Stanford pas es to her
long rest. Long ago, in that fertile
plain of Central New York, that has
been prolific of great men and women.
this woman who has been great in so
many ways gave her life into the keep
ing of Leland Stanford. He was "a
country merchant, nothing more. No
man then could have foreseen that he
was to be one of the bold spirits who
would bind together the opposite sides
of a continent, that he would become
great in affairs: that his administra-
tive ability would guide a vast enter
prise through feebleness to the magnifi-
cence of a great success.
Yet all these things Leland Stan
ford President of the Southern Pacific,
Governor, Senator, multi millionaire.
founder of one of the great universities
of America did. lie was the best loved
and the best hated man of his day.
And through it all, in his humble days
and his great, when he was q store
keeper in Sacramento. and when he
stood beside The nations greatest men
as their peer, this woman of his youth
full love stood beside him. a fitting help
meet. She kept her own house at Sac
Iamento as fttingly as she presided in
the palace that the wealth OF iaJer
years reared for her on the crown of
NOD Hill. rtsss&
And, when the university that is the
most lasting Stanford monument was
founded, Leland Stanford associated
his wife with himself as his tull equal
in its administra ton during his life
time-and left the task for her COM
pletion after he died, with full faith
that the trust would be faithfully car
ried out. For he had learned to know
her through the years.
1t is only recently that this task has
been, in effect, completed. on Novem-
Der g. 1901. Mrs. Stanford signed the
two deeds that turned over to Leland
Stanford, Jr., University bonds, realty
AMI stocks of the estimated value of
SIS, 600, 600. This transfer was accepted
by the trustees of the university and
while it was distinctly understood that
Mrs. Stanford did not thus relinquish
her voice OF control in the mana gement
of the institution. it was still plainly
understood that it was a preparatory
step to the end.
The original grant to the university
embraced three great ranches at Palo
Alto. Nina and GridIey. Following the
panic of 1898 and the tying up of the
estate in the probate court. Mrs. Stan
ford had a very severe struggle to keep
the university on its feet She said,
once, of that trying time:
I prayed to God for guidance every
day. and l know He gave me light to
guide my feet
How much of her fortune Mrs Stan
ford reserved for her own use at the
time of making this record deed of gift
is not known. but there can be small
doubt that it was her intention. as it
was known to be Senator Stanford's
to leave all her wealth to the univer-
sity

The streets of Canton are so mar.
row that two sedan chairs can barely
pass by closely hugging the walls, and
the air is filed with foul odors, while
Hong-Kong can boast of fine Euro
pean buildings and clearly streets. In
Canton it is not unusual to come upon
a pile of human bodies that have been
beheaded lying in the street waiting
to be carted away by the scavengers.
Perhaps the street urchins are seen
playing with one Of the severed heads.
The flesh of cats and dogs can be util.

cuted criminal is only carrion.
Besides beheading- there are many
ways of slow torture, and so callous
are these creatures to the sufferings
Of others that vast crowds collect to
watch the public punishment Of crime.
In beheading no block or resting place
for the head is used. The neck is
stretched to it's utmost by an assist
ant, and the executioner with one
blow sewers the head from the body.
Over the threshold or in the vesti-
bule of every house hangs a tiny lamp

looked upon as q safeguard against
all evil spells.

Art Of Tea MAKING.

Practice the art of tea making when
you are all alone. Take cup Of tea
and pass it across the table. See If
you can do it without forgetting any
thing and without upsetting it. Then
try to do it and to listen at the same
time. Pretend you are holding a con-
versation. Don't look at the cup too
steadily. Practice tea making until
you can do it without more than
glancing at the cup. 1t is easy. And
when you have learned it-be you rich
or poor, great hostess or small
one-you will have acquired q. pretty
art which will serve you in good stead
all your life. Even when you are a
great grandmother it will come in good,
for cup of yea from an elderly per-
son 1s not only very graceful COM
pliment, but a very great one.

SOCIAL REQUIREMENTS.
What Constitutes the Ideal Hostess
and About the Proper Selection
Of Dinner Guests.

The ideal hostess will possibly differ
from the points of view Of different
minds, but she who comes nearest to
satisfying every taste will cause all
guests to feel at ease and perfectly at
home while in her house. She must
possess great tact and endeavor to
make each one feel individually the IA
vored guest. She must be quick to see
everything while seeming to see moth
ing, never looking bored and keeping
the conversational ball rolling without
any apparent effort or even seeming to
do so. An ideal hostess must be en-
tirely unseldsh and let no one be
sighted or overlooked.
Now that vacation days are over and
the world has returned from the sum-
mer outing which has possibly been
spent in the woods or where much free
dom in behavior is allowed, be careful
to modulate the voice and tone down
actions to fit city life and customs.
No right-thinking mother wishes her
son to choose a boisterous, fippant
wife, so be careful that your love of
fun and the summers freedom do not
lead you too far. AS we have so often
repeated, be kind and thoughtful and
do unto others as you would that they
should do to you"
A visiting card may be used for in
formal invitations. No call is neces-
sary after tea or afternoon reception,
though very often at home days are
given in the invitation to a large re-
ception when call is quite in order.
These at home days are often as elab-
orately prepared for as the original
reception with a caterer, but it is per-
fectly admissible to have the serving
done by the house servants. Many
times caterers service is employed
to relieve the regular help, who have
all they can do in the daily routine,
without anything additional
1t is necessary to be most careful in
choosing your guests for dinner party
that they should We congenial. Not
necessarily friends or even acquaint-
ances, but Whose tastes are similar,

ton must be pleasant and sustained

WHEN CLIMBING STAIRS.
Remember the Exercise Is Most Bene-
fetal When the Right Methods
iare Observed.

Stair-climbing can never be made 80
easy that it will cease to be work, and
hence certain amount of it daily is sure
to be beneficial, says Mary Butler, in the
Philadelphia Press.
First, stair-climbing is fine exercise
for the muscles Of the legs, both for
the high lexors and thigh and knee ex-
tensors, and If judiciously used as q
daily exercise it will tend to develop the
muscles of the leg and thigh, reducing
at the same time any superfluous flesh
that may have settled there through
lack of proper use. Hence we use lad
der-climbing exercises in the gymna-
stun for all such cases.
Second, stair-climbing when done
slowly, becomes excellent balance work
and is good for the BRAIN To increase
this mental effect in the gymnasium we
use ladder rounds instead of steps and
the slower a pupil can walk up the
finer the balance and the stronger the
desired effect.
Third, stair-climbing is good work
for heart and lungs; weak hearts may
be strengthened by judicious lessons in
1t, no other apparatus being necessary
than ones own footsteps.
In all stair or ladder work the weight
is not only transferred from one foot to
the other in succession more or less rap
i'd, as in the walk, but the whole body
weight is lifted from one step to
another by the first leg and then the
other, and this means quite heavy work
at times.
For example, if you weigh $50 pounds
and with the right foot step up one step
(that step being exactly IL inches
high, you have lifted your lightweight
of $50 pounds exactly one foot higher;
or, as we say, you have done $50 foot
pounds" Of work. If the step chances
to be "a inches high, then having lifted
yourself two feet you have done
twice as much work, or 300 foot
pounds.
Thus, when you, weighing Just 100
pounds, climb ten stairs, each step
only u inches high, you have done
just 1000 foot pounds of work, good
strong muscular work that if done we'll
will surely do you good and If done bad
ly may injure.
Do you stout ladies wonder any long,
er at your breathless condition when
after eating q hearty dinner you climb
to the third-story front room to tak5
your afternoon nap? Do you not see
that with every step you must do from
one-half as much again to twice as
much work as your wiry little neigh
Dor?
You have no right to run up just be-
cause you can trip up one flight and
not feel it. You perforce must take
it slowly and should rest after each
fight Of steps, at least till the breath
ing becomes quiet and regular once
more.
Believe me, instead of being bad for
you, stair-climbing taken slowly and
properly will do you good, strength
ening the muscles of legs, abdomen and
spine, stimulating the heart and lungs,
clearing the brain, aiding the circula-
ton and thus improving the digestion;
but there is correct and an incor-
rect way of climbing stairs, hard
and an easy one, safe and dangerous
one

edge with any pretty furniture gall
loon, or else sew silk cord round.
A good firm ribbon, rather more than
an inch wide, should be used for the
strap; it is caught down to the COW
ering by few firm stitches at regular
intervals. If wood is used for the
foundations, small brass tacks could
be used for fixing this instead of sew
ing; finish each end by a bow of rib
bon, sew ribbon to each end to form a
loop to hang it up by; in the center
of this loop put a bow.

Relaxed muscles of the face may be
toned up by bathing the face with a
mixture of equal parts of milk and

six weeks or three months before good
results are noticeable, but it will re-

A great deal of discussion has been

American, urges a plan On, home colo

900 to that end, If 10 others will con-

One of the most interesting persons
the government at Washington had
had to deal with for long time is a
millionaire who recently gave $780,
900 for benevolent uses, and now
claims his old-age service pension OF
Sc to $12 a month under the executive
order of March, 1904. He does not
want the money, of course, but deems
the pension roll a roll OF honor, and
desires to perpetuate his record OF
military service as a much-prized bit
Of family history.
