322 PROFESSOR DARKE ON PSYCHOLOGY. ROFESSOR E. REBUS DARKE was lecturing in Reverend Mc- Koon's church on psychology. Said he, “ Hypnotism, from de Greek hypnos, sleep, am a very common mechanical freenomenon induced by holdin’ some bright obgic jes’ above de visual line. In dese times a new half-dollah will hypnotize mos’ ennybody. It is merely a physical effec’ projuiced by de strained attention. Telepa- thy is moah different dan hypno- tism, from de Greek teleos, distant, an’ pathos, feeling. Mind feeling mind at a distance.

Do yo" git ma mean- in’, sah?” Deacon Apricot Brown sat down so suddenly that the back of the board bench shaved the two buttons off the back of his coat, and the professor went on with his lecture with- out further interruption.

Population in the district is sparse and scattered, so an economy of travel is arranged by holding the Sunday services near together, with short inter- vals between for rest and refreshment. Flora Weed liked milk with her Sunday luncheon, so she brought a pitcher of it to church and placed it under the desk where she sat, with forced piety listening to the minister's drone, It was a warm summer day, and through the open r wandered a thusty little dog. whose saga- cious nose led him to Flora’s pitcher He forced his head into the narrowing neck to the bulge below and, on being unable to withdraw, ran about in an agony of fear, trotting blindly up to the very desk of the minister. Flora waked from a werk-day dream of spelling and geography and suddenly shouted, “Oh, see that dog!" then red= dened at the sound of her own voice and jerked out with ever-increasing horror, “Oh, I spoke in church!

Just any réle of high degree on which you set your will, nature has endowed you with abi He was propelled im- mediately by grim ambition’s thirst, and finally decided that he'd go to congress first. Full he was of great elation, with no thought of foul defeat, but somehow for some reason he did fail to take a seat. For governor- ship, for mayorship, for sheriff too he tried, but politics in ev'ry branch success to him denied. He grappled law and medicine, and editor became, and made a tour of lecturing until his theme grew tame; then he felt poetic fires run coursing through his veins, but Pegasus wouldn't harness to his heavy set of brains. At last he trod the tragic stage in high and mighty réles, but couldn't draw the people so ‘s to harrow up their souls. Growing rather seedy, he be- thought him of a farm, and reached this wise conclusion ‘neath the xrace of nature’s charm—*I guess I'll throw my genius all away in self-defense and try instead to raise a crop of good old common ATH TRADER mAxBow, GREAT NERVE.
