Exemplihed a Trick.

One of Prof. Reynolds best expert
ments is to put one of his subjects in q
state of catalepsy, and while thus stiff
ened out like stick, to place his head
on one chair and his feet Oh another. In
this condition the subject is rigid, and
the professor in his demonstration stands
with his full weight on the subjects
stomach. A prominent Blackstone Block
lawyer who had seen the performance
went home with skeptical view of it's
genuineness. "That's easy enough"
he remarked, "and I'll prove it. So
he got three chairs, spread out his full
length on them, and called his wife, who
weighs q little over 100 pounds in the
shade. "Dear, you just take this middle
chair out from under me" he sale, and
when that was done and he had braced
himself up for the real test he contin-
ued, "now sit down with your entire
weight on my stomach, and III show
this mesmerist that there is nothin' very
wonderful about his trick. Are you
sure you can hold me?" inquired his anx-
ious wife with some hesitancy. "Now
you Just sit down andnever fear aboutmy
holding you" Then, without stopping
to. argue longer, the loving wife came
down as he requested, with her entire
weight on his stomach. In another in
stant the Blackstone Block lawyer was
writhing like kings jester on the floor,
and when in about fifteen minutes or
more he had caught his breath long
enough to speak, he family asked his
wife if she had lost her senses entirely
or if she wanted to kill him outright.
