SIX DAYS IN A TRANCE.
Put to Sleep by Hypnotizer and Watched
by Doctors.


A dramatic illustration of hypnotism,
accompanied by many grewsome features,
has been given in London by Professor
Merritt, who seems to possess extraordina-
ry powers of a mysterious nature. He put
a man to sleep in a coffin shaped glass case
and kept him there nearly a week, and at
the end Of that time awakened him in the
presence of large number of witnesses.
The victim of this achievement, one AL
fred Wootton, is stained glass worker, 85
years of age During the whole of the
time he was asleep or in trance he was
exhibited in a public hall. When the ex-
pertinent was ready to begin, he had read
lily climbed into the coffin shaped case, and
many people watched the hypnotizer as he
proceeded to exercise his mysterious power.
Holding Wootton by the forehead and
chin, the hypnotizer gazed steadily into
his eyes. He then made few downward
passes from above the eyes along the side
of the face from time to time examining
the pupils Of the eyes. The man, it was
found, had by this time become rigid One
minute after the experiment began the
hypnotizer asked DIR. Forbes Winslow to
examine the man.
He was found to be thoroughly uncon.
scious. His pulse was 90, the exact num-
Der Of beats it registered before he became
unconscious. His respiration was about
16, the breathing chiefly abdominal. The
temperature was 9S.2, or normal. The pu
pills Of the eyes were contracted almost to
disappearance.
During the following days the respira-
ton, temperature and pulse changed slight
ly but the man remained in the trance
condition. His beard continued to grow.
When he was awakened by Professor Nor
rift the following Saturday evening, he
could not be convinced that he had been
in a hypnotic trance for nearly week I'M
Til he felt the thick growth of beard on his
face. He said it seemed to him that he
had only been asleep for few minutes
1t did not take longer than a minute to
wake him up. The professor made few
passes of his hand across the man. face
and lifted his head and shoulders from the
coffin shaped case. Wootton then opened
his eyes and instantly recognized friends
in the crowd about him, with whom he
began to converse. The only notable SEN
sation he experienced upon waking, he
said, was that of hunger. A short time
after being awakened he put on his over
coat and walked out of the building with
his friends. He had been constantly watch
ed during the whole time he was in the
trance and evinced much interest in the
records of the doctors. New York World.

They We're dead when day was done.
Summer came in emerald dressed
Gave me flowers bright and fair.
When pinned them to my breast,
Soon their beauty persisted there.
Autumn lavishcd fruits on me.
When the hills with splendor burned
Dead sea fruits they proved to be,
Which to dust and ashes turned.
And / told my heart with sorrow
Nothing lasts beyond a day;
New gifts come with each new morrow.
With that morrow pass away.
Winter came, and one gray morning,
When the winds were blowing wild,
Love came to me without warning
Looked into my eyes and smiled.
And said: Love, too, will leave me,
Perish, like all other things,
1t comes to me but to grieve me
Leave me to my Borrowings.
But the love that came unbidden
Staid, and each day grew more dear
Till within my heart twas hidden,
There to brighten all the year.
Then told my heart with gladness
Earth best gifts, howe'er soon gone,
Leave behind them naught of sadness.
Love will fill their place alone.

The ancients slept on the floor or on a

middle ages beds were made of rushes,
heather or straw. 1t is believed that feath-
er beds were known to the Romans, since
a mention in one of the poets of men SO
luxurious that they slept on feathers is
supposed to refer to this kind of bed. He
liogablus had an air cushion, and also
an air mattress, 21S or 222 A. D. Feather
beds were employed by the better classes in
England during the days of Henry VIII,
though they were considered luxuries and
were expensive. The bedsteads of the
Egyptians, Romans and Greeks closely re-
sembled our couches. The Russian peas.
