My Own observations Of Spiritualism have con-
yinced me Of three things First, that its phe-
nomena.are invariably associated with mental and
nervous perversion and generally with morbid
moral impulses OF the type that accompanies
epilepsy secondly, that mediums are, as a rule,
persons of defective physical organization /;
thirdly that the sednces rapidly exhaust the ner-
'ous energy Of the operator have notes Of
one instance in which the medium died of ex-
haustion consequent upon his most celebrated
feat Again, so far az | have observed at sednces
gwen by trance mediums, those prodomata of
the eplleptic attack, sudden cadsyerous psllor
and KIND OF fading Of the eye, accompanied
with dilation Of the pupil, invariably precede and
announce the superyention OF the trance and
another fact conclusyely established is that al
though the trance superyenes at the will of the
medium, il must always be preceded by stage
OF incubation more or less prolonged. curing
which nervous hebetude il distinctly present.
and the intellectual faculties are torpid. Miss
Fox has been known to fall fainting on a sofa in
the midst of a sednce and Mr.. Homes health is
broken at scarcely forty
These observations have now covered cases
enough to permit the affirmation that clairyoy-
ance and its peripheral ve-atmosphere arc
Unfortunately the results Of the reflex excita-
blity incident to epilepsy and know from ac-
tual observation that epleptic commissions may
be replaced by artiiicially induced clairvoyance,
st least IN some instances have, also, person
ally observed that epileptics, pending the stage
OF incubation, always appear to be enyeloped in
highly excited and sensitive nerve-atmos-
phere, which. sometimes accompanied with
sullenness, sometimes with sensory exultation,
il one of the precursors Of the attack. Indeed,
this excited aura, often OF considerable periphery
is, so far as my studies have extended, invaria-
bly, indicative that a nervous crisis is at hand
and, on comparing notes with physicians, l find
that medical men have noticed the same phenc-
monen, not only as incident to epilepsy, but az
the exponent OF the stage of incubation in peri.

At this Christmas season in which childhood |
regns supreme and the word OF grown folks |
temporarily submita itself to the king who |
wears upon his baby brow the round and top
OF sovereignty" the Eruption Of new toys is
apt to overflow the bounds Of the nursery and
invade the sacred limits OF the best parlor The
marble centre table is decorated for the nonce
with Willies building blocks Jennie's doll occu-
pies the softest corner OF the sofa and John
nys house is stabbed beneath the piano unre-
proved.
In the toys thus brought perforce under older
peoples notice, there are many changes from
those that charmed the Christm-s times OF the
uncomfortable number OF decades which take
us, too, back to nursery times. There are more
of them, for one thing more finish and attempt
at realism, but not always resulting in increase
of pleasure. The brood OF mechanical toys for
instance, the horrid little locomotives which,
wound up, rush madly across the room, bump
ing the furniture and decorating human ankles,
do not seem as amusing a. u train Of cars built
OF blocks by the little hands which also supply
the motive power. The improved Noah's Arks,
We are happy to see, do not find favor enough to
supplant the old orthodox flat bottomed boat,
with the crew of cylindrical figures in long gowns
and round hats which moulded our infant ideas
antediluvial man and womankind. Still prevails
the same pleasing uncertainty as to which of the
beasts is wolf and which dog which wild boar
and which hippopotamous; the Darwinian pro-
cass Of selection not yet being probably pushed
TO its limits.
Bat in the doll-world great changes have tax
en- place of kind which makes us ponder upon
them as il in some sort signs of the time. The
old-fashioned doll-baby, which was cuddled and
hush-a-byed and put to bed by its little mother,
is supplanted by the fine ladies with blonde
ringlets and braids deliberately coffed their
trains and aounces, " bridal robes and what
not. Maternity gives place to millinery in these
fashionable young ladies. The popular paper
dolls carry the idea still farther There is moth
ing whatever TO be done for them but to invent
magnificent paper costumes for their adornmen
and then act wedding parties.
1t really looks as if special training for the du
ties of motherhood were going out of fashion

fine ladies' but have careers" practice profes
