The Stupefying Effect of Cold.

One Of the most powerful modes Oi
checking the increased action of local in
hammation is To diminish the temperature
of the parts Heat to certain extent is
necessary for all vegetable and animal ac-
ton. Increase the temperature, and these
actions are increased; diminish the tenn
perature, and these actions are diminished.
That this is the case, we think, ia apparent
from the influence Of the returning spring
upon the vegetable kingdom and hlbernat-
ing animals. They leave their abode and
commence new series Of actions On the
return Of the winter we find both again
shut up in state of Incidence and mae
tivity. Now, although we are not dormice,
we feel the change from heat 10 cold very
disagreeable, and we know that Some de.
grees of cold very much diminish our mus.
cular efforts.

Showing How One Man May Succeed

The young contractor had his choice to
secure the right of way for a railroad in
Texas or help construct monstrous iron
bridge in Mexico He chose the former un-
dertaking because 1t kept him in his own
country. Successful negotiators are born,
and he is not one of them. He lacks
adaptability. In the wild and woolly dis

Then came trappers who didn't want

didn't want to be run down with trains
and telegraphs and the keeper of little
frontier tavern who fondled two guns
while arguing against new railroad.
Finally the novice received notice to
