OF the falSirs in question had been in

TO the highest degree, possess the facul-

identical with cataleptic ecstasy. They
use all possible means, such as mortia-
cation Of the body by special diet, the
internal employment of different plants
known only TO themselves, and the
adoption of n peculiar posture OF the
body for many hours. When they have
practiced this for a sufficient length of

prescribed by the sacred books OF the
Indians and fall into hypnotic condi-

have been amused to hear people
when they start in life say at what
point in life they will be contented with
worldly possessions. One man says:

Is not so, how do you account for the
fact that many of those who fare sump-
tuously every day are waspish and dis
satisfied. and oyerbearing and forebod-

wrath always lowers and a lip which
scorn curls; while many time in the
summer evening you see n laboring
man going home in his shirtsleeves,
with n pail on his arm and pickax over
