The Passive state.

THE art of selling" said an old book
agent at the ST. James Hotel, is simply
the science Of hypnotism- unconscious
hypnotism. The merit of the object you
offer, your personality, your CONVERSE
ton or manner have little to do with it,
The most strong minded. obstinate man
is as susceptible of buying a gold brick
if you catch him in the passive state,
as the Southern negress Who buys hair
straighteners.
.:Why does a man purchase a red
Hecktie when he entered the haber-
dashery fully determined TO order a
blue one? Simply that he's in a passive
state and the clerk .exerts his uacon-
scious mesmcric power to work of the
red ones. OF which he IS overstocked.
The force trick with playing cards
is nothing but quick hypnosis The per
sonal magnetism Of certain actors,
preachers and orators is the same thing.
If people understood this more they
would be cautious in permitting them
selves 10 fan into the passive state, and
many abuses would be avoided ST.

HUMAN EVEN TO SNAKES.
Naturalist Ashamed of His Brutal

Naturalist Ashamed of His Brutality
in killing Il Rather.
Few naturalists have loved nature
and her wild offspring as we'll as John
Muir loves her. He respects the rights
OF the humblest of Gods creatures.
Could anything better illustrate the
type Of man he is than his account of
the killing of a rattlesnake?
Before l learned to respect rattle
snakes, he says, l killed two. The first
was coiIed comfortably around a tuft of
bunch grass on the San Joaquin plain,
and I discovered him as was stepping
over him. He held his head down and
did not attempt to strike, although in
DANCE of being trampled. At that time,
thirty years ago, / imagined that Fat
tlesnakes should be killed wherever
found.
l had no weapon of any sort, and on
the smooth plain there was not stick
or a stone within miles; so l made
ready to jump on him as deer are said
to do. He saw ! meant mischief, and
quickly cast himself into coil, ready to
strike in defense. | knew he could not
strike when travelling, therefore threw
dirt and grass sods at him, to tease him
ont of coil. He held his ground a few
minutes, threatening and striking, and
then started off TO get rid of me.
ran forward and jumped ON him; but
he drew back his head SO quickly my
heel missed, and he also missed mis-
stroke at me. Prosecuted, tormentad,
again and again he tried to get away,
bravely striking out to protect himself;
but at last my heel came squarely
down. Sorely wounding aim. and few
more Brutal stampings crushed him.
felt degraded by the killing business
less Of man and farther from heav-
en-; ana made up my mind to try to be
at least as fair and charitable as the
snakes themselves. and to kill 10 more
save in self-defense.
