A Remarkable Family

Too bad that so much trouble should
come upon Cyrus w. Fields in bis old
age-and yet he is only seventy-two years
old, says the San Francisco Chronicle.-
They say only because his brother, David
Dudley Field, the distinguished lawyer,
is eighty-eight years Of age and has just
commenced writing poetry. David Dud-
ley is as straight as a pikestaf, over 6
feet tall and as well preserved a gentle
man as one could wish To see. OF course
all the Pacific coasters know Stephen J.
Field, who bears his seyenty-fye years so
well. And a rugged, pushing goaheada-
tive man Was Cyrus w. Field until these
family misfortunes were heaped upon
him. 1t was that, at the age Of seventy
two, enabled him to Withstand the shock.
There is still another brother-the young
man Of the family-the Rev. Henry
Field, who at the age of seventy, looks
hardly fifty. It's wonderful allaround

for Her Sex.
In her modest home in auckland,
Mass, the mother of Mary Lyon had a
beautiful tlower-garden, which she
kept with notable care aud skill A
neighbor one day begged the privilege
of setting n choice plant there saying
that if it grew in her garden he knew
it would not die Mrs. Lyons no u.s. G..
hold was Il garden where everything
that grew was tended as carefully as
she kept her flowers. The plants there
were trained to live. and, in higher
sense, to live forever.
Mary devoted her life to teaching.
The story of the founding of the school
that made her fame is record of her
unresting efforts for her sex and race,
continued through patient years.
The Mount Holyole Female seminary
was opened in 1887. Twelve years af-
terward she was gathered to her rest
but she had left deathless mark on
the characters of three thousand
women.
The institution she created was not
born to die. Thirty-five years after its
founding Andrew Murray, in South AT
rica. read Mary Lyons biography, and
also the life of one of her pupils, FL
della Fiske, "The Mary Lyon of Per.

for the girls of Cape Colony similar to
the one at Mount Holyobe.
Ills letter to the parent seminary
were sent to Abbie p. Ferguson and
