Wills of Others.
One of the most astonishing cases in
the history of hypnotisrn has iust stirred
up all England and the whole Fashionable
world of Europe. 1t Is the case of Mrs
Kipgscote, who has In her veins +ha
blood of England's famous premier. Sir
Robert Walpole. She has resorted to the
devices of the Orient in order to eompel
men to do her bidding.
1t IS only by means of the hypnotic DOW
ers which she is known to possess, and
which were developed during her associa-

hopes of ever being able to meet. It
meant inevitable bankruptcy to them, but
they did it. They confessed that they had

Mrs. Kingscote's case presents very
curious illustration of atavism. Her pa

satiate desire for foreign travel and for
geographical exploration. he found that
the most convenient and practicable man

expense and with the. assistance of the
Church of England Missionary society.
Accordingly, he, first of all, became a
convert to Christianity, and then applied
