There are many superstitions about the
egg. In Scotland and Ireland children
are taught by their nurses to crush the
shell after eating an egg or to push the
spoon through the bottom in the form of
Il cross, showing lingering relic of the
once general superstitious belief that
witches lived in eggshells and made boats
of them, casting spells upon the house
hold In Italy it is believed that an egg
laid by a white hen in a new nest on
Easter day would cure pains in the head
or stomach; that broken in a vineyard it
would prevent its suffering from hail or
similarly would save a field from the
frost, and its possession gave one the
power to see witches. 1t was also be-
heved that an egg laid on Good Friday
thrown on the fire would extinguish it,
while the devil would be killed if shot
with an egg laid on Christmas.

SEBAGO.

Sebago, July 31.-At the Democratic
caucus in Sebago, the 2Sth, there was no
one in the party that wanted the nomi-
nation under the circumstances as the
Republicans had already nominated
Chas. Young of Naples, for representa-
tive and it was decided that if Naples
Democrats could furnish a candidate sat
1sfactory to their party, that the candi-
dates should be Of Naples for both par
ties. The Democrats of Naples, who at
tended the Sebago caucus, indicated that
if the party in Sebago were to concede
them the candidate to run against Mr..
Young of their town, that Mr. White
would be their choice and he was nomi-
mated with the understanding that Sc
bago Democrats and Republicans both
have the candidates in two years.

Is now a very wealthy man.
The delegates took side trips to Pixies
Peak, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Cripple
Creek and other places
The mines all about Denver are in full
blast" said Mr.. Knowles, "and prosperity
is in evidence on all sides. They are
digging thousands OF dollars worth of
gold out there, where they formerly dug
silver"
Mr.. Knowles was the only Virginia
representative at the convention, and the
only virgnian he saw was Mr.. Harvey
Savage, who went to Denver some tine
ago for his health.
THE trip to Pixies Peak was a most
delightful one said Mr.. Knowles. eve

DIR. HUTsCN.S CAREER.
Dr. urtsen was born in Pittsylvania
county An 1874. He was converted in a
meeting held by J. T.. -kefauver. and was
probably the first person ever baptized at
Lafayette Montgomery county. Va. He
was the first OF his family to become a
Methodists. He was ordained at the
Byrne-Sh,eet Church. IN Petersburg. and
was pastor of Sappony Church, in Sussex
county, for two or three years.
AS a speaker. DR.. Hutson is sound and
forceful; as a pastor, faithful and dill
dent; as a friend. warm-hearted and 10y
az. He has made a thorough study OF
the Bible, and few mon Know the Scrip
lures better than he. His opinion CON
weight with his ministerial brethren
When asked for the secret of his sue
cess in his long pastorate. DR. Hutson
answered in two words: Hard work.
He said that with a congregation with di-
mansions such as his, a pastor has to de-
vote every moment Of his time to pas
toral work 81 visit every family in
the congregation at least twice year.
and endeavor to make them understand
that / take an individual interest in their
welfare / have made nearly 10000 lsts-
toral visits during by pastorate. This
last gone summer has been an especially
busy one for me- and 1 found it impos-
siD!e to take a vacation.
"Before attempting to preach | always
thoroughly prepare myself. never
preach what might be taken in any way
for sensational sermon. put conflne
myself to the Gospel. Another thing l
seek in preparing sermons Is variety l
endeavor never to preach at short inter
walls sermons that have any resemblance,
and my night subject is always entirely
different from the morning one
