whom received good practical |

to the ambition and progressive

In May. 1847, two years after
his marriage, he was united with
the Friendship Baptist church in
Stokes county. and on the 18th
of August, 1852, at the request
of the Baptist church at Madison,
North Carolina, he was ordained
by the Presbytery of the Beulah
Association, consisting of Elders
Elias Woodson, j. J. James, John
H. Lacy and T. W. Tobey.
In 1854 he travelled as mission
airy in the Yadkln Association.
where he was very successful in

Later he served af a missionary
for the Beulah Association. From
this time until his death he was
actively engaged in the work Of

His ability to teach was mar

have made religiously and educa-

taught four hundred and sixty

A Hogarthian Inn Sign.

One of the most humorous inn signs is
THE Man Loaded With Mischief" which
is found about mile from Cambridge.
on the Mattingly road. The original
Mischief" was designed by Hogarth for
q public house In Oxford street.
1t Is needless to say that the signboard.
and even the name. have long ago dis
appeared from the busy London thorough
fare. but the quaint device must have
been extensively copied by country sign
painters. There is a Mischief at Wal
ingford and a Load of Mischief at
Norwich. The inn on the Madingley road
exhibits the sign in its original form.
Though the colors are much faded from
exposure to the weather. traces Of Ho-
garthian humor can be detected. A man
is staggering under the weight Of wom-
an. who Is on his back. She is holding

opinion Is largely the creation of people
who avoid the English winter. making
climates during the less agreeable months
Of the year. What the cumulative effect
may be on the stamina Of those who
shirk the English winter nobody knows,
but il the endurance of hardness Is es-
sential to the formation Of fine charac-
ter. British habitues Of the Riviera, Oro-
tava. Funchal and Cairo are sufficiently
de-Anglicized to disqualify them as types
of English thought and character.
To judge fairly of typical English life
and thought we shall not go far wrong II
we remember Napoleon's saying that his
military success was due to his poor
gentlemen The quality Of England's
poor gentlemen is exhibited in the ward
rooms OF the navy. in the messrooms Of
service. and also in the quarters Of the
metropolitan police. The four services
in question are unique, and have one
thing in common-they are the product of
a sport-loving country. In England there
is no higher term Of praise than to speak
OF 2 man as sportsman. or to de-
scribe conduct as "sportsmanlike" Sport
is our religion; and it Is not bad re-
ligion. The genuine sportsman is intent
on the game. not victory. on the goal. not
the prize; on the spirit of the game. not
the result. Are not these qualities spirit
ual in effect? English sport boasts OF
ancient lineage. and the worship Of games
by playing them seriously has trained
the bodies and minds OF generations of
Englishmen. and has trained them well.
The extent to which sport enters into
an Englishman's soul is shown in his
vocabulary. and by coloring his outlook
on public and private affairs. Il war
is the sport Of kings. the English are
kingly. for war is a sport to them. and
they even learn Its rules by the war
game" The late Lord Salisbury was
not consciously sportsman. but he used
the language of sport when he wished
to be understood by the man in the
street. He told his countrymen not that
they had made a mistake in the Crimean
war. but that they had put their money
on the wrong horse"

INTELLECTUAL sTIMULANTs.
Ways Of Distinguished Workers to
Arouse Mental Activity.

From the Westminster Gazette.
To all engaged In literary work there
comes a time when for the time being the
imagination flags, ideas seem to have van
ished and all appeals to inspiration seem
to be powerless. There are well known
cases in which great writer's have had re-
course to artificial stimuli. Voltaire and
Balzac found what they required in coffee.
Goethe preferred burgundy. while De
Musset and Edgar Allan. Poe fed to
alcohol. Hasheesh was to Baudelaire what
opium was to the author of THE Con-
fessions.' In his early days Goethe found
that indulgence In wine impeded his in
tellectual work, for he had noticed that
when Schiller drank more than usual the
literary results were deplorable. The
preached by his critics. Goethe declared.
were due to no other cause than this The
mixture Of alcohol and absinthe in which
De Musset placed his hopes ruined his
brain and he ceased to write. The genius
of De Quincy was destroyed by opium.
More innocent have been the means en-
ployed by others to awaken inspiration.
Some like to have noise and movement
around them. One French painter does
his best work when his friends are fenc-
ing in the room or talking and shouting
around him. Some writers go to a cafe or
walk up and down the busy streets to
think over what they are going to write.
Men engaged in scientific pursuits will
walk furiously up and down their rom
with bent back and absent look. probing
to the depths the problems that baffle
them. Kant went for the same walk every
day thinking over his 'Kritik." Cesar
Franck used to play for an hour pas
sages from his 'Beatitudes" to excite
himself to composition. Goncourt con-
fessed in his journal that, like Flau-
bert, he is compelled de monter le
before he felt fit to sit down
and write.
What is the common basis Of all these
various ways Of arousing mental activity?
They must give rise to sensortal stimuli
which set in motion the play of cerebral
phenomena. NJ. Georges Matisse suggests
that these stimuli excite the secretions of
certain glands. These secretions alone
would increase the dynamic power OF the
cerebal machine, although he seems to be
doubtful If this explains everything. The
one thing clear is that intellectual effort
requires in the majority of instances a
condition OF nervous exaJtation. That is
one Of the reasons why poets are not
always men Of quite am. able characters.
As he remarks. Plato was quite right in
crowning them with garla. .lds and Danish
ing them from his republic.

EGG POISONING.
Some Persons Always Affected
Others Only Occasionally.

crOIn the MEDICAL Record.
/ Instances of egg poisoning appear from
time to time in periodical literature and
the subject is referred to in some, but by
no means all works on dietetics.
While cases OF acute poisoning are rare
some susceptibility as regards eggs is not
SO very uncommon. People constantly as
sert that eggs make them bilious. and
while In some this Is often Imaginary. In
others the condition actually exists.
Thls is notably true Of infants and
young children. Not only do many in
rants and young children digest eggs
with dlff1culty, especially when first eaten
but many more are made i'll IL this mar.
ticular food Is partaken Of too freely. or
In the case OF older children. II the eg.
diet Is kept UP too continuously.
Tnls inability of young children fo Al.
gest eggs Is probably in line with the
well recognized fact that the infants $
taught to digest most dietary articles
other than the maternal milk. Cows
milk for instance, is veritabIe poison
to some infants, while many a newly
born requires some practice and education

The susceptibility may be observed in
eggs of every degree of freshness, and In
some cases only with the eggs of certain
olrds. changes In eggs may also be
brought about by methods of cooking.

susceptibility only when the egg is raw
