FORGOT HER LEFT ARM.
Ih. Eesalt of sn Orcrsight In Hypnotic
 Experiment..

Court Councillor Meynert, Professor of Medicine at the University in Vienna. was prevented recently from delivering one of his regular afternoon lectures, and, as the students were al- ready assembled. his assistant Dr. Anton. undertook to hypnotize young woman for the instruction of the dis appointed audience. The young woman was tall, slender. light-haired. and somewhat over 20 years Of age Dr. Anton let his hand glide over her forehead. smoothed her cheeks with soft downward strokes, and then com manded loudly; Now sleep" She slept
 Your arms are completely crip- pied" he said, and both arms sank limp to her sides. "What will you now do. poor creature. without any arms ?' he ssked, The girl raised her bowed head and began to weep and wall so piteously that the students rose in their places and shouted that she must be restored at once to conscious ness
 Dr. Anton seized the young woman's ; right arm. rubbed 1t snartly, and sug- gested;
 ~ ou arc all right now. Your arm is well again" In the same instant the girl raised her arm. with tri. 1 nmphant expression of face. Dr. A Il ton then aroused her. To his and his auditors astonishment however. the girls left arm still hung limp. and ap- parently nerveless, at her side. He nad forg gotten. in speaking colloquial. 1 ly, to tel her that her left arm. too. had recovered its strength. He touched the helpless arm and exhorted the young woman to raise 1t, but in vain. 1 Shc cculdu't stir it,an inch.
 Dr, Anton then explained that the students had before them q casa O post hypnotic crippdng' which could be removed oaly after the girl had been again hypnotizsi. He was un. willing to exhaust the girl by bringing 1 her immed ately under his Influence once moro. so he deferred tue per, ] formance Of the euro for several days. He said the girl was so subject to in. 1 fuenees that tho regular ticking ot I i clock or the nonotonoas ringing of [ i church bell would suffice to hypnotize l lpr

Tho best half of life Is in front oi the man of 40, if he be anything of q man. Tue work he will do will be done with the hand oi q master. and not of Il raw apprentice Tho trained intellect does not see men IS trees walking but sees everything clearly and in just measure. The traiaed temper does not rush at work like a blind bull at haystack. but advances with the calm and ordered pace O: conscious power and deliberate deter mutation. To no man Is the world so new, and the future so fresh, as to Jim who has spent the early years Of his manhood in striving to understan the deeper problems of science and life. and who has made some headway to- ward comprehendiug them. To him the commonest things arc rare and wonderful. both in themselves and as parts Of beautiful and intelligeu, whole. Such thing as staleness in life and its duties he cannot under. stand. Knowledge is always opening out before him in wider expenses and more commanding heights Ths pleasure of growing knowledge and in- creasing power makes every year of his lie happier and more hopeful than tho last

The Fakir'S Victim,

 "You've got some sort of tricke l reckon"
 "Oh, not very much of trick Sort of a game that's as fair for on, as it is for the other.
 "No," replied the fakir, continuing to work the shells, "l don't think so. l have lost considerable money at 1t in my time"
 Why don't you do something else. then?"

 That easyenough done, said the old fellow, wiping his tobacco tain ed mouth on the tail ot his coat.
 "Oh, yes, putting it there Is easy enough, but the thing Is to guess which shell it is under"
 "Wall, but l don't have to guess when seed which one you put it un- der. ."
 "Wel, you are entitled to vour opinion, but I'll bet you five dollars you cant guess which shell the pea is under"
 1T hleve l'll go you one for luck. It's under that one right thar"
 The tnliir fitted mp the shell indicat- ed and there was the pea.
