Inypirition for the Ameri
can Youth.
The life of Ur, Thomas Iluino, for-
jiierly profesROr of Englitih literature
at tlie Uiiivoraify ot North Carolina,
an outstanding example of what a true
man should he.
Ills integrity, perserverance, and
sympathy with students may well serve
as one inspiration to hoys and girls
now attending high school or college.
Dr. Ilume was born at Portsmouth,
\u., October 21, 183ti. He received the
first part of his education at Richmond
college and the University of Virginia.
After liaving served in the Confed
erate army during the Civil war, and
after holding a light position in several
institutions of learning, he married Miss
Annie Douise Whitcearver in 1878.
In 1885, Ur. Hume caino to the Uni
versity of North (hirolina, and ns long
as he was there, his fine qualities made
him ono of the most beloved anc
spectcd members of the faculty. While
in North Carolina his literary composi
tions gained for him an onviahlo repu
tation. I'litil the day of Isis death, Dr.
Ilume displayed the eharaetcristics of
a true gentleman and student, and a
better example of manhood cannot be
found in the history of North Carolina.
Doctor Hume was prepared for Lis
life's work in many colleges. Then be
came a president of different colleges
and was pastor of many different
churches. He heli)e(l organize the first

From tho day of his arrival at tin

unroHorvedly to liiH work and his posi

A GLANCE INTO WASHINGTON'S
MUSEUM
In the national museum at Washing-
n is one of the most unusual collections
of toys ill the world. The playthings
kept ill a special part of tho build
ing and are classified and labeled
cording to tlieir origin.
The toys and games have been col
lected by agents from all parts of the
world. Praetiica'lly every country is
represented there by its toys. From
Alaska there are several small dolls
about the size of your thumb, hand-
carved from solid ivory, and decorated
sealskin and deer fur.
The “bull-roarer” is another interest-
g invention. It is just a hollowed
piece of wood attached to a string that
gives forth a dull roaring sort of noise.
This implement was used by the ancient
Egyptians to imitate the thunder in
hopes of bringing rain. This peculiar
toy is still used in some parts of north-
•II Africa.
Another interesting toy is a largo
football woven from bamboo canes. This
given to the museum by the Siamese
people. Still another curious plaything
is a small doll made from pine that was
Tought from India. A large bird made
from a peculiar kind of grass is another
gift from India,

“The pointer,” from High Point, N. C.,
says that the Virgil classes gave a three-
act play, “Dido and Aeneas,” for the
Latin teachers who attended the Teach

Aeneas’ landing on the Carthagenean
shores, while he attended Dido at her
court, and his departure for Rome. The
death of Dido, fair queen of Carthage,
was also included in the play.
