BLOOD IN THE BRAIN.

tanning Exhilaraiion.

"An increase of blood in the brain. "
said DIR. VIM. A. Hammond in Il lecture
at Cooper Institute last night, has been
found to accompany mental action. A
cOngested condition of the brain often
gives rise to halIucination. A recum-
bent position will often bring these on,
and they will disappear when the person
sits or stands up. Doubtless many
ghosts have been seen in this way.
Hanging causes certain degree o! con-
gestion OF the brain. | don't suppose
any of you have ever beer hanged. but
it is the testimony Of those who have
been and who were cut down that they
experienced a very exalted condition Ut
mind. Tins is also true of drowning.
Standing on the head produces similar
condition An English writer OF some
note says a fine landscape can be viewed
to better advantage by STOPPING down
and looking back between the legs. A
circus tumbler once told me that stand
ing on his head was almost equivalent TO
taking a glass OF champagne. Imped-
ing the blood in its return from the brain
.ometimes produces haliucinations.
once had patient who said that when
his cravat was tight he saw an appari
ton of Sir Walter. Raleigh This never
deceived his intellect Who can say
how many of the phenomena OF spirit
ualism and ghosts arise in this way,
where the persons are not sufficiently ill.,

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL,

Glow can be beautiful ?" Every
hoy aud gin |. man and woman, wants
to know that. Here is Mr.. Emcr-

brautitier of complexion, or form, or
behavior, like the wish II scatter joy
and not pain around Us" Do y"u
suppose that recipe will work ?
Think Of the most beautiful people
you know. All. knew some one
would say "mothcr." Do you think
h nd TO make others happy? know
very many beautiful people who
would have remained very plain had
they sought only TO please tnem-
selves.
We want to try Emcrson's rule for
becoming beautiful, so it will not do
to forget that "rhere j. 40 bcau,iti-r
