Mary Lyon, who was the founder of
Mt. Holyoke Academy, which became
the first woman's college in this coun-

She had thirst for learning and, I'M
able to have the advantages for
higher education herself as a girl, she
determined to secure them for others.
At eighteen she was teaching school
for seventy-f1ve cents a week, and out
of this managed to save enough to go
to an academy at Sanderson, Mass.
Here, in order to satisfy her desire
for learning, it is said that she studied
for twenty-four hours out of the

Another remarkable woman born on
the last day of February was Anne
Lee, the founder of the Shakers"
She was born in 1886 in Manchester,
England, where her father was a
blacksmith, and she, as a child, went
to work in a factory. She never went
to school, and when she grew to be a
woman was employed as cook in the
Manchester infirmary. She was at
first a member of the Society of
Friends, but on seceeding from this
body organized a band, which was
known as the Shaking Quakers," be-

BY HERBERT QUICK.

Do you remember when you were
some one else?
Herbert Burrows, an English So
cialist, claims recollection of two pre-
vious existences. Once he was a
Roman gladiator and once French
revolutionist He remembers it Just
as plain"
Anyone can do 1t. he says. All that
is necessary is to concentrate. Some
times it takes a long time-months
or years, but concentrate your mind
upon 1t and dig into your astral per-
sonality deeply enough, and you can
emerge from the pool of the past
with pretty good string of fish in
the way of pre-existences.
1 believe that can be done. l be-
lieve that by concentration of this
sort, with the will to believe, one can
remember anything he wills to re-
member, whether 1t ever existed or
not. The subjective mind is always
obedient to suggestion, and the sug-
sestions from ones own mind are
most powerful. have no doubt that
by the same sort of concentration Mr..
Burrows could have remembered his
existence as a pterodactyl, or an
ornithorhyncus paradoxus.

An old farmer was once asked at

Happiness does not depend SO much
upon our being favorably environed
as upon the slope of our mind.
Nothing contributes more to the
highest success than the formation OF
habit of seeing the bright side Of
things. Whatever your calling in life
may be- whatever misfortunes or
hardships may come to you, make up
your mind resolutely that, come what
may, you will get the most possible
real enjoyment out of every day.

the sunny side of every experience of

you will see the humorous side Of
things. No matter how hard or un-
yielding your environment may seem
to be, there is sunny side If YOU
can only see it. The mirth-provoking
faculty, even under trying circum-
stances, is worth more to a young
man or woman starting out in life
than a fortune without 1t. Resolve
that you will be an optimist; that
there shall be nothing of the pes

Brown at the Harper's Ferry raid.
When the Civil War began, Realf

in action and in spirit, but, curious
ly enough, the war did not inspire

ever, it did not inspire any of the
poets in that way except Mrs. Howe,
when she wrote The Battle Hymn of

That they have not found happi-

has been the experience of every hu-

of a deed and not to be found by

Real happiness is so simple that

Is derived from the simplest, the

are honestly striving to make the

their monotonous, humdrum Voca-

necessity or on account of those who
are dependent upon them. These
people would get good lesson by

unlocking Long-Neglected Empire.
From Leslie's Weekly.
With a $4,000, 900 government rail
road as his key, Uncle Sam has de-
termined to unlock the billions of dol
lars of almost untouched resources
that make up his great Alaskan en-
pire. Despite the handicap of print
tive transportation which has eaten
up in freighting charges from one
third to one-half of its limited pro-
duction, this vast territory has pro-
duced almost half a billion dollars in
wealth, and the annual output is now
near to the $50. 000,O coo mark. But this
is only the beginning. hardly an index

that would make it possible to reach
its vast coal fields and through these
in turn to develop its other amazing
resources.
IT is likely that new investigat lions
will be made before the location of
the proposed route or routes is deter
mined. The Alaskan commission
which reported to Congress a year
reach the richest portions of the in
terror as well as the network of nav
igable rivers-one from Cordova. on
Orca Bay, to Fairbanks, and the other
from Seward, on Controller Bay, into
the Matunska territory. There are
also proposals to start the Cordova-
Fairbanks line from Valdez. A later
discovery declares that a two-mile
tunnel would make an easy grade
route from an open harbor on Prince
William sound, opposite Turnagain
Arm, from which a short route to the
Matanuska fields would be available.
So that it is likely that before any
thing definite will be undertaken there
will be further explorations to find the
best possible method of handling the
entire problem. The only thing which
many who are vitality interested in
the development of Alaska fear is
that conflict may develop between

The Cart Before the Horse.

The Cart Before the Horse.
From the Pittsburgh Press.
1t seems that the first step toward
improving marriages is to make it
possible for the average young man
and the average young woman to get
an income sufficient to maintain a fit
home for children. This does not
mean a home Of luxury by any
means. Luxury is not a benefit; it
is danger, Too much income at the
beginning of a marital partnership
is as pernicious as not enough. There
Is splendid value in the discipline to
two young persons in learning how to
spend money sparingly and with in
telligence. The talk of rich men. who
say they were happiest when poor
ana struggling, is far from being all
humbug. They probably were happier
then, even If they didn't know it,
for they were not suffocated by things
they had room for their real affeo-
tons to exercise.
But the couple about to marry have
a right to expect enough income to
keep them above want, and if they
lack 1t, though being themselves will
ing to work, then clearly society is at
ls.ui' anu IL justly TO De penallZed.
Those States, therefore, which are
enacting eugenic marriage laws be-
fore they have just laws regulating
industry are putting the cart before
the horse, and, it may be, compelling
men and women to live together with
out the formality of q wedding cere-
mony. The State has a right to in
sist that men and women seeking its
sanction for living together shall not
be so diseased as to make it probable
that their offspring will also be
wretched and defective The obiec-
ton to these medical certificate mar
rage laws is not that they exceed
the States rightful authority. The
objection is that they are not rightly
timed. Neither marriage nor bache-
lorhood can be wholesome if there is
not enough to eat.

United states and Argentina.

From the Springfield Republican
The administration in Washington
desires to raise the United States
legation in Argentina TO the rank of
an embassy, and bills to effect this
purpose have been introduced into
the Senate by Mr.. Shively, of In
diana, and in the House by Repre-
sentative Flood, of Virginia. 1t is to
be expected that speedy action will
follow. The move is very pleasing to
the South American country, which
will reciprocate by raising her lega-
ton at Washington to the rank of an
embassy.
1t is to be expected that the trade
relations between the two countries,
already important. would not be less
ened by the compliment which is in
prospect Our exports to Argentina
during the past calendar year
amounted to s55,OO0,0oO, while the i'm
ports from that country totaled more
than $25,000.000. This means that no
other country on the Western hemi-
sphere buys as much from the United
States as does Argentina.
