Preachers Predicament of Nearly q
Century Ago.

In speaking of the evil of intemper-
Rnce DR.. Wayland Hoyt has related
the following:
I'm the autobiography of Dr. Good.
ell, prefixed to his life, he tells us
that 70 or 80 years ago very cody
minister used to pass his fathers door
and often stepped in to see the family.
Once the minister CHANGED to meet
there the family physician, and he
asked his advice. He said: 1 am
about visiting the sick and the af-
dicted and the inquiring, and every
where am asked to take something
to drink. l cannot decline without
giving mortal offense, but after awhile
i find myself growing dizzy, and am
afraid that / shall say or do some
thing to disgrace myself. Now, what
do you advise me to do about this?'
After great deliberation the physi-
clan advised him to, as soon as he
felt himself growing dizzy, go home to
mis- study while he was able to walk
There he was to sit until the dizziness
had passed off, when he could resume
his visiting.
That was nearly century ago
and it never occurreds to either OF
them to "cut it out" Fancy a
preacher Of to-day pursuing such
Ieisurely methods!

Brains and Scientists.

Famous brains are of four sorts.
The lowest group contains the minds
that are stimulated greatly by alcohol,
tea and other drugs, and by impress
sions derived from the senses; the
second group contains the infant prodi-
gies, whose intellectual powers wane
in middle age; the third group con-
tains the pathological cases usually
terminating in insanity; the fourth
and highest group is that Of true
geniuses, whose powers remain unim-
paired until old age. This is Hause-
mann's classification.
Spitzka has come to the conclusion
that men eminent in exact sciences
like astronomy and mathematics have
the greatest average brain weight.
Next come the men Of action, includ-
ing statesmen and artists, and after
these come the biologists, biologists
and other representatives Of the de-
scriptive sciences.

Alas! Somebody in England with
nothing better to do has invented a
new walk and it is being taken up

AIT the start Of practice girl must tie
weights to the bottom Of her skirt. In
walking she must appear to be so
weary that she scarcely can drag one
foot after another. Her steps must be

hint Of energy. Thus walks Queen

she has been lame since infancy. Il is

English educatioha, authorities

The words as used in England com
memorate the overwhelming inpor-
lance attached to Latin in the Tudor
times, when the old schools we're
founded. 1t was Latin grammar that
they were designed to teach, though
the American grammar school''--in-
termediate between primary and high
schools-is a school where English
grammar is taught. AT one time
