THE THEOs0PHIsTs.
Lecture by DR.. Allen Griffiths on Inoc-
ulation and Hypnotism.

ulation and HypnOtism.
The lecture given last evening in Ruby
Hall, Redmen's building, under the au-
spices OF the Theosophical Society in
America was on 'Inoculation and Hyp-
notism," delivered by DR.. Allen Grifiths.
The lecturer explained that inoculati on
relates to the physical and hypnotism to
the mental plane, and said that the for
mer, while it has tendency to affect dis
ease, does not act as preventive. Disease,
he asserted, has its origin in the mind, or
lower BRAIN. which is the intellect. and is
produced by the lower passions, such
as anger, envy, desire for re-
venge which cannot be obtained !;
that these thoughts affect many
organisms in the body and IN that way
produce an unhealthy condition, the re-
suit of which is disease. The remedy for
this is cheerfulness and elevating
thoughts.
Hypnotism, he said. is another form of
incubation. 1t is one person taking en-
tire possession of the mind of another and
making that person his abject slave. He
expressed the opinion that hypnotism is a
moral wrong, and that for one person to
take possession of the mind of another to
make that individual perform certain
thing ought not to be, "for." said the
speaker, "our highest duty is to discharge
our individual duty, and if we all do that
it will result in greater happiness"

The great and good of our land welcomed
and nourished the stranger child. "Before
the new star of independence had careered
to its place in the heavens-when darkness
curtained the hills and gloom covered the
valley" it was cherished by those whose
names will ever find a place upon the
worlds history. ''In the days OF the
revolution" when the loud war cry was
echoed from the south to the north, and
the din of battle was heard from the east
to the west, a Washington, Warren and
Green were its protectors. 1t was rocked
in the cradle of liberty by those
whose spirits now seem to be looking
down from their happy homes to see

step it has followed every path which civil
ization has opened. The adventurous emf

roamed the praires. and ramified the un-

Nervousness and Physical Injuries.

A certain proportion Of the cases of
nervous disease which the physician sees
are due to physical injury. If man be
hit on the head with club, the inevi-
table result, if the blow be hard enough,
will be break of the skull, bleeding
from the torn vessels beneath and crush
ing Of the substance of the brain itself.
If the blow be lighter, the brain may
still be injured. but the injury will be
less severe. A blow upon the back may
break the spine and seriously injure the
spinal cord. The injury may be slight,
merely pressure upon a single nerve
for few hours, yet that may cause trou-
BILE for weeks Between these two ex-
tremes the nervous system may suffer to
almost any degree from injury. In none
of these cases need there be any previous
nervous weakness or overstrain. The ef-
feet is purely physical If, therefore, we
note in the neighborhood Of Donnybrook
fair a great increase in nervous diseases,
such increase may be due. not to the
greater demand which the conditions of
modern life make upon the human brain,
but to the shillalah.-Dr. Philip G.
Knapp in Century.

Asbestus.

An interesting distinction, though not
generally understood, is made in the
qualities Of asbestus by those who are
engaged in the industrial handling of
that article. Though, broadly speaking,
this substance is a silicate Of magnesia,
in some cases lime displaces the mag
nesia base. In rare cases alumina takes
the place Of magnesia, and what is called
blue asbestus is silicate of iron, iron
in this case displacing the magnesia
