NO Es0rERIO B0oDDHIsM.
occult Powers of Certain Wahatmas
Declared 10 Etc Fraudulent.

Among the interesting discussions at
the last International Congress of Orien-
~talists, held in Geneva, was an address
by the Frankfort savant, DIR. Pfungst,
in which, in the light, of genuine old
Booddhistic literature, he discussed the
question as to the existence or non-exlsf-
fence of a special "t~heosophical," or ESQ
teric B~ocddhistic,' doctrine as claimed
by such advocates as Olcott, Sinnett and
MADAME Blavatsky. DIR. Pfungst con
GUIDED that the Oldest Booddhistic lit
terature offers no material whatever for
such claims. His position has been rat
fled by such authorities on the subject
of comparative religion as Kuhn, of
Munich; Weber of Berlin, and BUTLER
of Vienna.
Ehe Edinburgh Review" for January,
in an article entitled Modern Magic
speaks of the investigation of the So
ciety for Psychical Research lLondon),
and concludes that If no positive truth
has been established 1t has at Leaf been
demonstrated that the so-called occult
powers of certain "Mahatmas,'" which
MADAME Blavatsky claimed to have dis
covered, were a fraud, The society dis
patched a commissioner to India, who
spent several months in his investiga-
tons. Says the Review THE society
found itself face to face, not with a new
force in nature, not with the psychic
mysteries it was longing to explore,
but with rampant imposture.. There was
no mystery, there was nothing upper

NAPoLEoN's USE OF ETIQUETTE.

The uses Of rigid etiquette were we'll
understood by Bonaparte. He appreciated
the dazzling power of economy, the fas-
cination of condescension, and the mas
terry Of woman in the conduct. of affairs.
All such Influences he lavished with a
profus.on which could have been CON
ceived only by an Oriental imagination.
AS If to erpowe the senses BY an Inn
pressive contrast, and symbolic the tri-
umph of that dominant thirsty state OF
against ar.stocrats, princes, kings and
emperors, the simplicity of the Revoln-
ton was p~ersonified and emphasized in
.ty, his disdain for dress, his contempt
for personal wealth and Its outward
signs, were all heightened by the set
ting which inclosed them, as a frame of
brilliants often heightens the character
in the portrait OF a homely face.ACen-
