In many voyages have made it an oh ject
To inquire OF travellers and others concerning
presentiments. and have found that they are
very common, occasionally fulfilled, gener
ally not 50. and that il is the tendency with
practically all persons who have had one
presentiiucnt cone true to force themselves
into ali. and to become tyrants over those
dependent upon them or those travelling with
them. 1t Is to be frankly admitted that, no
matter how vivid the presentmeDt might he,
its uon-futillment would not demonstrate that
there are no presentinents which must have
originated external to the mind of the sub
Ject; but having been led by my experience
to induce many persons to defy such feelings
without single instance of reported evil re-
suits, it confirms strongly the hypothesis of
their subjective origin.
That prescntiments are governed by no
moral principle in the character Of the sub
jects to which they are applied, the persons
who receive them, the occasions on which
they are given, and their effects, is apparent.
The most immoral have claimed to have
them, have communicated them to others,
and they have sometimes been fulfilled by
events from which the persons having them
have derived great personal advantages.
The best Of men have had presentiments, but
the great majority of good people have not,
and the greatest calamities which have be-
fallen most persons have come without any
warning whatsoever, except such could be
inferred from existing situations Expert
ence, foresight and guidance by ordinary
sagacity have been all that mankind have
had to rely upon; and to be governed only by
these, combating or disregarding PRESENT.

Our forefathers believed firmly enough In
the evil eye As far back as we are able to
pierce through the obscurity Of antiquity We
find abundant evidences Of this strange belief.
Chaldean COMPUTATIONS against the power Of
the evil eye are still in existence An Assyrian
incarnation of the Seventh century B. G.
against a sorcerer represents the glance Of the
evil eye as most dangerous to man. Various
Egyptian papyri refer to this fatal power.
and formula are given to preserve one from
its effects Vedaic hymns recite prayers to
Aqua against the sorcerer, with his baleful
glance, and there was a formula In an old
Hindoo marriage ceremony recited by the
groom against the possible evil effect from
the glances Of the bride. Among the curious
laws governing the Brahmin Is one that, in
satisfying the wants Of nature he must not
look at the sun, moon, stars or planets, nor
at a temple, a statue, q sacred tree or COW.
for his glance would then be harmful to any
of these The Persian sacred books are full
Of the subject 4 man Of evil life is here
deemed able to arrest the growth Of plants
and the current Of living water, or to deaden
the ripening fruit.
An allusion to this deadly power is found
in Ecclesiastes. Various ancient writer's
give accounts Of people who possessed this
power to a wonderful extent. The cases Of
Medea and Of the Gorgeous will recur to every
one Pliny speaks especially OF the Scythian
and Illyrian women. Ovid, Plutarch, Hor-
ace, Herodotus and other classical writers
frequently allude to it. st. Mark puts an al
fusion to evil eye in the mouth Of Christ,
and st. Paul alludes to it in the epistle to the
Galatians. The early fathers Of the church
reason much about it with the result Of leav-
ing the matter in great confusion, but none
Of them question this power. They usually
ascribe to the Deity the source Of this great
influence, but later writer's assign 1t to the
malevolence Of Satan. Children, handsome
people and the aged were declared particu-
l.lrly subject to harm from this source For
there are some" says one Of these writers,
"who have eyes 50 brilliant and full Of fire
that with single glance they infect others,
and particularly children, the venom Of fas-
cination acting upon them by reason Of the
perverse or malign quality and dangerous
hunor Of the injecting eye Of the sorcerer
