INDIAN FAKIRS.
An Eyewitness Describes Two APP
parentIy Miraculous Feats.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
India is pre-eminently the land of mys-
terry, and our most advanced magicianS
have never been able to reproduce all their
marvellous performances. One day in the
market place of an inland village l saw a
curious performance. It was conducted by
two men-one old and emaciated, carrying
a native drum; the other young and well
fed. Enthusiastically gowned with an overskirt
of colorad handkerchief and multitude Of
bells. which tangled nosiy at his slightest
movement; long, ragged hair-altogether a
hideouS figure.
The drummer began a weird tom-toming,
ard the other man an incarnation. Then he
extended a "supra''-a bamboo tray used
by all natiVeS-on which any one who
pleases places a large handful of rice and
the same quantity of grain. The two in
81 edients are thoroughly amalgama ted, so
that it would, in the ordinary way, take
hours to separate them.
Now the fantastic man with his tray be-
girs. He turns around slowly, gradually
qUickening his pace 0he drummer also
keeping time), faster and faster, in q giddy
vortex, the tray at times almost out of his
hands, yet so cleverly handled that not
grain falls out 1t is very trying to watch,
but in couple of minutes both stop stimuli
taneously, and the man shows to the Won
dering spectators two little heaps, one Of
rec, and the other grain, at different ends
items he has been able to separate by some
extraordinary manipulation.
Later 1t was my good fortune to he able
to witness one of those remarkable cases
of voluntarily suspended animation of
which l had so frequently heard, with a
somewhat dubious smile, am afraid. But
l am convinced now.
1t was called ''joghae" performance and
took place before the Maharajah Of Dhur
banga, whose guest l had the honor to be.
The ''joghee" was put by his disciples into
a trance. He became perfectly unconscious
and dead to all appearances. An English
doctor present felt his pulse and found it
had ceased, and a looking glass showed not
the slightest moisture of any breath in the
body. The 'joghee'' was put into a coffin,
the lid screwed on and seals were impress
ed on ii with the maharajah's signet ring
The box was buried five feet deep, earth
thrown in and well stamped. Grain was
then soWn and trusted Sentries guarded the
place.
The grain had sprouted and borne corn
when We were invited again, after sixty
days, to witness the resurrection of the
body. The grave was opaned and the cof-
fin found to be intact. The seals were
broken, the lid unscrewed and the 'joghee"
was taken out stiff and stark. His disci-
pies now began to manipulate the body and
to go through certain rites. very similar to
mesmerism, and by degrees the dead man
opened his eyes, culver ran through his
BODY and he sat up erect.

usual symptoms of stomach weakness Nervous
dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much

A FEW SIMPLE RULES.

FLESH AND NOT FAT is WHAT IS NEEDED.
What thin people want is flesh and fat. To
De symmetrical and properly proportional every

be plump does not necessarily to be fat.
Fat is undesirable; 1t clogs and retards the action

disposes fatty degeneration of vital organs TO say
nothing of the discomfort. more less resulting
from excessive adipose tissue
Common sense would suggest that If one wishes
to become fleshy and plump the thing most needed
would be fesh-forming foods-in other words
albuminous foods like eggs, beef oatmeal etc
The kinds Of food that make flesh are the foods
which form the greater part of daily bill Of
fare.
New the only reason many people remain thin
is because their stomachs do not properly and
completely digest and assimate the iiesh-forming
beefsteak and eggs We eat every day.
There are thousands Of such people, and they
are really dyspeptics although they may not
suffer any particular pain or Inconvenience from
their stomachs. If such persons would take with
their meals some preparation like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets the food would be quickly digested
and the proper degree of plumpness very soon
secured because these tablets are prepared exactly
foc that purpose. They will digest every variety
of flesh forming food, which is the sole reason why
they quickly build up and strengthen thin dys-

All physicians agree that the element of faith

Firm belief and confidence in a family physician
or the same confidence and faith in patent med

This is especially true in nervous troubles and

weak or rundown nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common Of alb diseases,
indigestion and stomach troubles, which in turn
cause nervous diseases, heart troubles, consump-

Mere faith will not digest your food for you,
will not giva you an appetite, will not Increase
your flesh and strengthen your and heart,
but Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do these
things, because they composed of the elements

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest food If
