mythology, mentioned by Homer and
Euripides as being Of peculiarly abhor-
rent aspect Their hair was composed
Of serpents, their bodies covered with
scales and girdled with reptiles with
heads erect, vibrating their tongues
threateningly, while the hands Of the
Gorgons, adorned with sharp talons,
were Of brass. The gaze of the mon
sters was deadly, all upon whom they
fixed their eyes being turned to stone.

1 Feeling Based on tie Instinct Of Self
Preservation.

Preservation.
That well known investigator of
psychological nbstrusities, NJ. Fernando
Mazade. has attracted much attention
)y a discussion Of tho query, what
fear?" The famous psychological
playwright. Alfred Capus. who has
lealt with the human emotion with
such fidelity in his masterpieces.
writes:
"In general. | think that when there
s an accident or an illness one has not
suffio lent perception Of the peril to
have the feeling of fear. Fear implies
a consciousness OF danger and the re
fusal or moral impo 'sibility TO face 1t
Fear consists in capitulating to the In
stinct OF self preservation.
NJ. Victor Marguerite says: Fear is
physical trouble much more than "a
feeling" and can ultimately be over
come by force of will. NJ. Alfred Me
zieres Of the French academy consid-
ers that fear Is caused by some unex-
Academy Of Medicine doubts whether
any man has ever been quite free OF
fear for himself or for others.
NJ. Sicard, who IS Il professor ut the
Faculty Of Medicine, considers fear or
courage To be the result Of tempera-
ment. training and thought Fear can
be partially eradicated by reasoning
and education. but it will never be
overcome in its most acute form
namely, the instinct of self preserva-
don The conclusion is that 1t is far
from being unanimously admitted that
fear is ridiculous malady.-Philadel-
phia North American.

Mariette Gray Baldwin

Marietta Gray Baldwin, who passed
to her reward on Sunday, March Z,
was horn in the house in which she
passed away on Jan. 19, 1923, and the
whole span Of her long life was passed
in the shadows Of the mountains in
and about Dorset
Mrs. Baldwin was a daughter Of the
late Elijah and Lydia Cleveland Gray
Mr. Gray was a shoemaker by trade,
but he enjoyed far better health when
working in the open air, so he rented
different farms for few years, and
happened to be living in the house
where Mrs. Baldwin died, at the time
Of her birth.
When Mrs. Baldwin was a little girl
she used TO ride TO church with her
grandparents who attended services at
the old Baptist Church which stood
just across the street from where
George Edgerton now lives. Her
grandfather, Isaac Gray, was one Of
the deacons of the church and her
father, Elijah Gray, played the bass
yiol while her mother was one Of the
leading singers.
When in 1850 Mariette Gray mar
ried George Baldwin and went to live
in the house where she died, she be-
came the step-mother of eight chill
dren, the youngest not quite six years
Of age. She had two children, Bertha
