MODERN EPIRITISM,

| L SCIENTIFIC KxAMNAT1oN OF ITS CLAIMS
.PRoAoUNcE5 IT 4 DELUSI0N.
In a recent number OF the Nor III american
H<uie1c, Or. George ID. Beard subjects modern
spiritism to searching, scientific examtna ton,
and, as the result OF his Investigation. pronouncea
1t a delusion. The paper is long one; the fol-
lowing condensation will be found interesting:
| Modern spizitism is an attempt to apply the
| inductve method to religion; to make faith
scientific; ) to confirm the !oneings OF the heart
by the evidence Of the senses. In thus submit
ting spirttfsm to the inductiye method, its
friends forgot that to prove religion wonld
be to kill TITO transfer it from the emotions,
where it belongs, to the intellect, where it
can ;: find no home. A religion proved
dies as religion and becomes q scientific fact,
and would take its place side by side With az
tronomy and chemistry, with physics and geolo-
gy, in the Organized knowledge OF men. Spir-
1tists would, therefore, have been wiser II they
had followed the example Of one OF the very
greatest OF experimental philosophers, the late
Prof. Faraday, OF whom it was said that when
he "entered bis laboratory he shut the door OF
his oratory." The security Of religious beliefs
consists in their keeping out Of range. Religion,
indeed, Is between two fires; absolutely proved
or absolutely dispro7ed, 1t is destroyed; dis
proved, IL QecOluES d NeluslOu1 u u1EaLlse taCI
Of science; proved, positive fact, in both cases
recognized By the intellect and appealing to it;
like the horizon, it recedes as we go toward 1t;
even the attempt to submit it to scientific study
Causes ii to disappear. No religion on the globe
is strong enough to bear the shock of its own
demonstration. . -.
Modern spiEtism Is = tripod, its three sup
ports being trance, the! Involuntary Life, and
human testimony. Ten years ago trance was a
realm as dark. and mysterious, and unexplained
as chemistry in the sixteenth century; the re-
cent demonstration Of the fact that It is SUBJ
1ectire, not. rs the world had unfalterinclv as
snmed, an objective. state, u.s. in its Own sphezr
and in its relation to our knowledge OF the brain,
revolution as radical as the displacement Of |
the Hipparchian by the Copernican theories of
the Universe Il trance, the involuntary lie,
and human testimony we're understood univer- |
sally as they are now beginning to be understood
by students of the nervous system, there would |
not, could not. be spirilist on our planet: for
an woulaskno~ tlat' spirits ouly dwell in the |
cerebral cells s-t1t not our houses but our brains
are haunted. 1t is a very frequently occurr.u1 |
functional disease OF the nervous system, in
which the cerebral activity is concentrated iu ]
some limited region OF the brain, the ACTIVITY OF

Floors AND CARPETS. is a
strong protest osered, in different .ays
and from various sources, against our long
established practice Of making poor floors,
with the design Of keeping them covered
with carpets stretched and fitted to every
part and carefully tackled down. Carpets
in daily use cannot he kept clean xcapt
by very frequent shaking and beating,
and they do much toward corrupting the
air by retaining impure glasses, hiding
the finest, most penetrating dust in their
meshes and underneath them, and by
giving off particles Of fine wool into the
atmosphere, with other dust, as they are
swep' and walked upon There is de-
mand for better floors, not nee ssarily
inlaid or mosaics, of different kinds OF
precious woed, but made double of strong
seasoned wood that viii not shrink or
warp Spruce, however well seasoned, Is
almost sure to warp, and then well fin
ished so as to be durable and easily
cleaned Carpeted floors seem relief to
the housekeeper, when once the carpets
are procured and fitted 10 the rooms ard
tackled down, because they do not show
the dirt as the bare floors do. But oh, !,
when they do get fall Of dust, And
when house-cleaning time comes aud they
must be taken up and shaken and whipped
as they well deserve, With warmly made
floors and large warm rugs, copidn We
do without these abominatiCn4 even IN
winter! Certainly our rooms would be
cooler and sweeter without them in sum-
mer But in that case We must take more
pains with our floors, and We must have
something better than the common un-

a thing Of huge proportions, 1t gives
