What Else They Were Was Quantity
Told by Mary Lyon.
When in 1887 Mary Lyon founded
Holyoke college she collected the mon
ey required for it's first building in
sums that ranged from cents to
$1,000. She got 1900 persons to sub
scribe. Her feat gave the new enter
prise an unusually wide foundation in
the public interest. but she did not ac-
cOmplish it without much hard work
or without gaining wide experience OF
human nature.
One evening Miss Lyon arrived in
the village of Ashfield. Mass. at q
home where she was always welcomed
gladly. She was full of hope and en-
thusiasm. Would the squire take heI
at once to W.. where. she had learned
there was a family of wealth that
might give literally toward the semi
nary building?

With beaming face Miss Lyon re.
piled: "Oh. am told they are very
rich. am sure they will help liber'
ally"
When she entered the house on her
return Miss Lyon went quickly to her
friend, and. graspirg her arm, while
conflicting emotions played over he1
face, she said:

Of costly things, they wear costly

inserted his bare arm beyond the el.
bow in a chamber refrigerated to a
temperature Of 157 degrees below zero
F. and kept it there for several mill
utes. He suffered no permanent dam
age, but experienced number of Pc
culiar and painful sensations. The
chief of these and the most trying was
Z feeling of pain in the bones Of the
hand and arm.
The pain increased steadily. 1t was
located chiefly in the interior parts of
the arm and was far less severe in the
portions near or at the surface. The
skin was purple when the member was
withdrawn. In about ten minutes a
violent reaction set in with violent
burning sensation Of the skin wherever
it had been exposed. ..,

with a decided rise above normal in
the blood temperature. These signs
pointed to a sudden and violent auto

the bodily temperature. In spite of en-
ergetic heart action the temperature Of
the blood fell gradually to II degrees
At this point the heart action ceased
very suddenly

Points That Indicate Constitutional

There is no more important qualitica-

for real work than that they should
be endowed with constitution and Wig
or, writes correspondent of Ameri-
can Cultivator. It is upon the possess
sion Of these attributes az much as
anything that their usefulness and
their ability to stand the stress of con-
tdnuous work day after day depend.
1t is, unfortunately, not always pos
sible to CLEAN any reliable knowledge
regarding this question Of constitution
from a study of the external appear
ance of horse, and many good look
ing animal, with perfect points and
conformation. Of which one would nev-
er suspect it. judging from the horses
looks, proves to be "soft BRUTE" to
use the horseman's favorite term for
describing this kind, when put to the
test Of continuous hard work. There
are, however, at any rate, certain indi-
cations which in many cases afford
more or less conclusive clew in regard
to this question.
For instance. very light middle is
generally considered to indicate that
horse is deficient in constitution and
bottom, and usually with every reason.
The explanation why this should be so
is simple. II the middle piece has an
unduly small compass there is not
