but what else could Ice expected from men
who have been buncuing their followers
for years with Il similar Confluence game.
When these gentlemen took possession of
the Knights Of Labor it was a PROSPEROUS,
powerful organization. Its influence was
felt Throughout tie labor world and its
membership extended to every CITY, town
and harnies IN the country. What is il now >

lost by the silverite managers in their at

HYPNoI1sM CURES BAD HABITS.

When q scmnambulis. is put into the
hypnotic condition and then talks il is
found that the speaker is that same per
sonality which spoke and acted during the
time of ordinary somnambulisin, showing
that the personality which acts during
ordinary somnambulism and the person
ality brought into action by hypnotisIn
are the same. This new personality has of
late become n subject of great interest
and persistent study. Not only does il
. come into activity in ordinary somnan,-
bulism and in the hypnotic condition. but
also in dreams, In reyerie, in abstraction,
and sometimes apparently in normal
passive condition. This second person
ality has been named the subcunscious or
subhninal self, and it Possesses many
curious faculties which W ha We no time to
