when an undergraduate of Trinity Col

reside in college rooms during the sum-
mer long vacation. AS fires were not
wanted in our sitting-rooms it was
customary for each resident s bed-maker
or other officer to carry his water kettle
for breakfast and tea to the college
kitchen and bring it back with water
boiling On one occasion had over
slept my usual hour, and l dreamed

try farmyard well known to me, and
there came a long procession of horses,
asses, oxen, hogs, sheep, and all the
animals usually to be found in farm
yard, followed by north country drover,
with his plaid crossed over his shoulders,
who walked up to me and said: 'Sir,
l have brought your cattle In an in

intimately were the auditory sounds and
the intellectual Interpretation intermixed
that my bed-maker was at my chamber
door calling to me: "Sir, have brought
your kettle" The hearing had been
confused; there had been no reasoning
but there had been instantaneous vigor
of creative imagination"
