tent, a communicable disease. It
is not held that all forms of in
sanity are contagious, in the
broad acceptance of that word.
It should be remembered that
the term ''insanity" is a very
flexible one, especially in its use
by experts.
DR.. Pilgrim admits that as
early as 1887 some interesting
points on communicated insanity
we're brought out before the As
ISOLATION of Asylum Superin-
tendents. He cites the case Of
Freeman and his wife, they Of the
s'Pocasset horror" as evidence
of the actual contagiousness.I
of certain forms of that awful
disease. Another case referred
to by the same writer was that
Of a whole German family which
successfully became insane, just
as they would have been taken
down with a contagious fever. In
our capacity of CATERERS and
recorders Of the news we have
often noted cases wherefrom two
to five persons of certain families
became violently insane within a
short time. It was SO with the
celebrated Sheldon sisters, the
Banks family of Philadelphia,
the three Schenck sisters Of
Lockport, n. Y, and dozens
which could be cited. It has
been alleged that Guiteau's in
sanity was a contagion. Within
two years from the date of the
execution of the assassin two Of
the experts on insanity who testi-
fed in the case were in the asy-
lum and two others were dead.
A few years later, in 1887, Reed,
Guiteau's counsel, was commit
ted to the asylum. In December
Of the same yea DR.. cDonald,
another Government expert in
the Guiteau trial, was pronounc-
ed insane; and in the papers Of
March z, 1888, it was announced
that DR.. Tilden, the man who
discovered poison in a bouquet
sent the assassin on the morning
of his execution, had been com
mitted to the Government Asy-
lum.
AS further evidence that GER
tain species of insanity are germ
diseases those inclined to the
theory cite the reports Of the
Pasteur Institutes. These bear
evidence that the injection of
antirabic virus into the circula-
ton Of insane persons who have
been bitten by mad dogs not only
kills the latent germ of hydro
phobia, but also cures the victims
insanity. May it not be that it
also kills the microbe Of the last
mentioned disease? DR.. Charcot,
the Paris hypnotic expert, says
that epilepsy is 1.-The highway to
insanity" DR.. Gibier's expert
ments with Pasteur's anti-rahic
virus proves that such injections
will check the ravages of that
disease. How does it do SO I'M
less it checks the growth or ex-
pels the microbes which many
now believe to be the cause Of the
disease? DR.. Daremberg Of the
Paris Journal DIES De6ats asks:
MAY it not be that the delirium
Of insanity is due to a species of
blood-poisoning; a cerebral in
toxication caused by infectious
products?"

Warrenton Gazette: MI. Louis
Mustian, a most excellent gen

town, disappeared from home
last Sunday night about O'Clock,
and has not been heard of by any
Of his family since. He had had
a severe attack Of grippe, and it

latter part of last week the catch
of fish here was unusually large.
The steamers carried into the

Rev. J. B.. Hutson, of Richmond,
Va, has preached twice a day
since Wednesday of last week.
He is one of the ablest evangel-
lists thai has ever preached in
North Carolina. His preaching
is SO simple that no one can fail
to get his meaning. His great
power lies in the simplicity of
his style. God has greatly
blessed his work here and else
where. Sunday night at the
close of his sermon about thirty
persons went forward to confess
Christ and declare their purpose
to live a Christian life. Mr..
Hutson will commence a meeting
in Tarboro Sunday.
Sanford Express: It may be
interesting to many of the read
ers of the Express to know how
Egypt, the great coal centre Of
North Carolina, got it's name.
The soil of Chatham county, in
which Egypt is located, is finely
adapted to the raising of corn.
Many years ago, when North
Carolina was very sparsely SET
tied and before the iron horse
had ploughed it's way through
our hills and forests, the people
far and near came to Chatham
to buy corn, many of them camp
ing on the hills around Egypt.
That is how Egypt got its name.
Some are of the opinion that this
little town which is named for
one of the old countries men
toned in the Bible, has a bright
future and will one day be one
of the leading cities of North
Carolina.

Hdrpers Magazine.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, contributes
to Harper's Magazine for January a vigor-
Gus article, entitled shakespeare Ameri-
canisms," which contains reassuring and
comforting doctrine for those who employ
colloquial forms of speech. The following
passage is one of many that will be read
with interest: Among characteristic Amer
lean words none is more so than to guess
in the sense of to think One sees it con.
tinually in English comic papers and books
also, put into the mouths of Americans as a
discreditable but unmistakable badge of ma
tionality. Shakespeare uses the word con-
stantly, generally in the strcter and mar
rover sense, where it implies conjecture
Yet he also uses it in the broader American
sense of thinking. For example in Meas
ure for Measure Act w., Scene iv J, Angelo
says, And why meet him at the gates, and
redeliver our authorities there?' To which
Escalus replies, in most emphaticallv
American fashion, / guess not"

Christmas week was marked by intensely

was felt throughout the country. In the
South, especially in Florida, it wrought ruin
to the orange and vegetable crops. 1t Is es-

es of oranges were destroyed. Severe gales
prevailed on the Pacific coast and also on
the coast of England, aud many vessels we're
wrecked and the loss Of life counted by the
hundreds. Much property has been destroy
ed by fires, too. In a small town in Oregon
hall in which a Christmas entertainment
was in progress, burned, and fifty or more
persons lost their lives. In Toledo, Ohio,
an elevator burned and 100000 bushels OF
wheat we're consumed. In Louisville, Ken

extent of 100000 were devoured by the
