THE PSYCHOPAIHIC OR MENTAL CURE.

1t is now an established fact, and has
become a part of the positive science of
the new age upon which humanity is
entering, that one person can influence
another person in a way usually called
magnetic. The influence thus impaired is
either identical with the vital force or has
the property Of affecting its action. To
indicate the best method Of utilizing such
an important addition to therapeutic
science, has been the chief study Of DR..
Taylor for the last few years, whenever
respite from the cares of his business
would allow. The remarkable cures he
has, himself, effected by its employment,
and which are we'll known to the inhsbi-
tants of the d. w. l. more than Justify him
in urging serious attention to its great
value as a Natural meaps of cure.
He therefore earnestly invites his friends
and the public to attend his LECTURE
in order to persuade them to an investiga-
ton of the truths he pfroclaims.
In connection with the Lecture
Il Magnetic e6ance
will be given, when some Of the most
remarkable experiments in Vital Magnetism
will be perfCrmed.

DOES 1T HURT \ MAN TO KILL HIN!

Hardlv apy reader will fail to be sensible OF
having only felt this inquiry inside, as ii were
of his consciousness, by which we are to b'
understood as not meaning within his con
seriousness SO an affirmative answer has per
yaded sensationally his system without pene-
rslinp his mental skin, so to speak. But II
at any time the consciousness has received inc
query, and the reason acted on 1t, much per
nlexity ensued, and the whole disappeared IL
q dissolvine view of doubt We are not asking
lift hurts man to MAIN or lacerate HIM, to-
these mean hurt, but to kill, by whatever pro-
cess; separating, however, the pain inevitably
incident to the wound, from that incident t.
the dying. A distinguished savan OF one OF
our new tangled schools OF philosophy has
pronounced, with power OF sense, the plaus-
able theory that the process OF dying Is begun
when Ife's apex, or perfect maturity, is at
tained-usually, he thinks. at I9-ahd con-
tinues through the seasons of life that follow,
fill finally, in age it closes without pain or hurt
This may not be killing in the sense asked,
but 1t proves that nature at least does not de-
sion that man shall suffer hurt in dying.
When by disease or maimir the death is to be
accomplished, pain is indispensable in doing
the work which nature requires so many year:
n do without it. In the order of nature, yea
by year, the faculties wear themselves ava,
mill the organs refuse their functions through
exhaustion and death becomes more natura
than life. In the disorder Of forced means
NV which like functional disability is reached
main is entaied as the penalty of violated law
bu, its work is accomplished when the facul
ties express themselves ieebly, as in age, an
all that ensues is thought to be delightful t
the unfolding spiritual senses.
The philosophy of dying has its highest i
lustration in the sublime experiment of a
eminent professor Of psychology, who prt
posed to discover for himself the exact poll
a, which the separation Of body and soul OF
cured. We regret our forgetfu' ness of h

T.H.H
Why doth my spirit SO gladden.
To see that another is dead!
Why do writhe and madden
That have to live instead!
Why on the old road sadden?
,T;s to find life matter Of bread.
Now the French call it rain, and that S Just IL
IT'S that lies so thick on the brain.
We take it, and try it, and trust IT.
And turn all our lives into gain:
AT least. when we fail to adjust 1t,
We only 60 back on our pain
know how our hopes are beholden
To what we conjecture alone,
How we see not, down here in the olden,
The life that is wholly unknown,
From the iron life up to the golden,
How each traveller travels alone.
If that be another word, let 1t
Be another word only for bread,
For so hard do men make it to get
That prayerfully wish I was dead;
And mournfully, madly regret it,
To find some one else SO instead
An earth-life quite unattended
Even by watchers unseen, unknown,
Is oftentimes better befriended
Than any the world makes its own
What remains of man when It's ended!
As the French say, c'ea Don't is bone.
Death is change Of relation;
Man puts off his flesh as his clothes,
And up to his new situation
Gravitates weighted with woes;
And the troubles that find the new station
Are Just all the troubles he knows.
But still it is change-and travel
Footsore to come up with the dead,
am tired Of the dust and the gravel
Of the reaching to get overhead;
Tired Of the strife to unravel
This question of ''pain' ID est bread.

Mr.. John L. Stoddard not long after he fin
ished his last lecture here sailed for foreign
shores to explore new places or freshen his
former impressions of old ones A slight in
disposition while abroad necessitated some
change in the route as originally projected,
but this does not in the least detract from the
interest of the scenes of the lectures he has
prepared. Travelling with his own photo
grapher at his side to produce whatever appear
ed striking or novel, he has secured series OF
illustrations which are, to say the least, unique
to which he has added the cream Of those OBJ
tainable in Paris and London The routes
laid out for the evening journeys are through
lands interesting for their peculiarities of life
and appearance, or noted for their superb nat
ural beauty, or famous in history, song or le-
gend Through these diverse conditions a
course has been perfected which promises
great variety. The itinerary of this imagina-
nv tour is as follows Notes from the Neither
lands, country wrested from the sea; French
Castles and their Memories, landmarks OF the
dynasties of France; The Splendors OF Switz-
erland; The Lights of London, an evening
in the worlds metropolis and European Mos
aics, attractive points in travelled paths. Mr..
Stoddard has attracted the cultured and intel
ligent in the many large cities, in which "The
Stoddard Lectures" have now become an in
stitution, and their reputation rests upon merit
SO positive that there seems no likelihood OF
diminution in popularity. Hfs course here

The Old Center School House.

10 the Editor OF the Press:
have become interested in the history of
the Center school house, called for by the
Transcript and supplied by my friends Messrs
S. Ell. Colesworthy and VIM. D. Little-a synop-
sis of whose articles appeared in the PRESS of
Thursday.
/ am able to help out this history some, al
though unlike these gentlemen, I never at
tended there
The Center school house was the first in
town to have a second story. 1t had hipped,
or four sided roof. I think there was no other
building but this on Congress street, between
Samuel F. Hussey's house, corner of School,
now Pearl street, and Jonathan Bryant's, on
the corner of what is now Market street.
The Portland Academy was incorporated in
1794-I think the fourth in the State. In
1898, the town gave the Center school house
and 81 900 to the Academy Corporation, which
commenced its school in the second story in
1903, under the preceptorship of Edward Pay
son, afterwards D. D. The lower story was
rented from the Academy by the town for its
school, After the erection and occupation of
the three-story brick academy, on Congress,
below Temple street, in 1908, the town pur-
chased back the old building under considera-
ton, and continued its school there. Mr.. Lit
tie says sit was originally occupied as town
house." This is not strictly correct. The
town heightened the building by inserting in
the middle perhaps fifteen feet-the joining Of
which always showed, outside a nd inside.
The lower story was fitted and occupied first
for town house in 1917, but the name Center
school house always adhered to it. Previous
to this, town meetings had been held in the
brick Quaker meeting house, which stood on
| the south corner of the present park. The
school house was used foy town meetings until
| the completion of the Market Hail." now
"Old City Hail." in 1926. 1 have attended
town meetings in both buildings. In the old
building Judge Samuel freeman was usually
the moderator. His long presiding had made
| him arbitrary. On one occasion in the hurry
| of a contested election between the Federalists
| and Democrats, the moderator said, gentle
| men, you will now bring in your votes for
| Mayor Weeks for Chairman of the Selectmen."
| I could write a column of similar anecdotes of
| the good judge-he died in 1881, aged SO.
The second story of the old building continued
| to be used as school room, as related by the
| gentlemen named, and when the new hall was
| occupied, the lower story was also converted
| into a school room. A lady at my elbow says
| she attended Miss Thrashers school in that
| room III about 1929. Joseph Libby kept the
| high school for boys in the second story, until
| the completion of the brick building on Spring
| street. above Oak street. ] must close, or the

Accidents.

The team Of A. s. Murch was oyerthrown
on York street, just above Park street, yester-
day morning, throwing out baskets OF groce-
ries, and scattering them far and wide.
The Water Company are laying large main
in Congress street, near Dow. The excavation
is properly guarded nights, and sufficient lights
placed to wan travellers of the danger. Still,
Wednesday night, man, driving carriage,
in which were his wife and three children
carelessly drove into the hole, splitting the
whole family. One boy was considerably hurt,
but the others fortunately escaped with slight
injuries.
Mr.. George W. Cole of Saccarappa, who was
crushed under burning building in that town
some time ago and had his spine injured SO
that the lower portion of his body became par
alyzed, was carried to the Maine General Hos
pital Thursday for treatment Last night we
learned there Was air prospect of his recov-
cry There is no dislocation of the spine, and
Mr.. Cole is gradually, though slowly, regaining
the use of his lower limbs.
Mr.. Warren Aldrich of Saccarappa, hurt
some three weeks ago by driving over an en-
bankment, has not been gaining SO fast as was
expected. Yesterday he yomited large quanti-
ties of blood, and now lies in bed in perfectly
helpless condition, unable to move an arm OF
leg. 1t is thought that it will be many months
before he RECEIVERS his health.
