The Craft at Stanford.

L. y fortunate that Mrs. Stanford
was not alive to see the buildings in

crImble away as a result of dishonest
contractors. II has been proven since
the earthquake that what was Suppos-
ed 10 be solid masonry was a shell fill
ed with rubble. Half the money spent
for the erection of buildings meant to
last forever was stolen. The model
chosen for the buildings of the Leland
Stanford. Jr. university was the mis-
sion type which has withstood earth
quakes for centuries. The missionar-
les saw thar their churches and monas-
teries We're honestly constructed. No
adequate supervision was exercised at
Palo Alto. and the first severe shock
made the buildings crumble. 1t has
been stated that even without an
earthquake the disintegration of the
mortar would have soon brought the
buildings down
Stealing from the public is odious.

case the loss is irreparable There was
not merely theft. but wanton destruc-

damage can be repaired. There is no

original with Dr. Pierce, and without the
use Of a drop of alcohol, triple-refined and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely

One with years of experience in
operating threshing enginines says
that if a double handful of potatoes
are placed in the boiler of the engine
that it will partly prevent the forma-
ton of the coating of lime which gen.
eraly attends the use of hard water for
making steam. He further says that a
quart of bran in the boiler is the thing
he has used for leaky fues. AS the
thre s. ing season is at hand perhaps
some engine driver can find use for
these hints in his business.
