Rice. During the course OF the con-
versation it was remarked that one
OF the party (Mr: Lindgren) having
done what he conld to bring himself
before the public, if was now Mrs.
: 3Oampbell's turn to attract attention
and trance performance was suggest
ed for a beginning. Mrs. Campbell
was not averse to taking trip into
the misty realms Of trance, so all
that remained was to find some. one
who knew the necessary passes.
Such an one was soon found in
the person of Mrs. GOWNS Swedish
servant girl, Mabel. The girl said
that she had never, herself, attempt
ed to put anyone into a trance but
she knew how, for she had often
seen it done by others It did not
take her long to convince the rest
Of the company that she possessed
the knowledge as well as the necess-
ary hypnotic power. Within five
minutes from the time she began
winding Mrs. Ciamp5ell's 3 conscious:
ness around her fingers she had her
subject under control and was putt
ing her deeper and deeper into the:
trance state:~: 81 ,. t':z*:i,

arouse her: And here q startling
difficulty loomed up. The:girl who
had been doing the winding and
either .nepar lsa alnsd or had forgotten
how to unwind her.subject. Mrs.
Campbell was then in perfectly
unconscious state and growing cold.
Neither ice water nor stimualnts-
had any perceptible effect. It was
about 1890 p. m. when Mrs. Camp
bell became unconscious and it was
a. m. before the united efforts Of
the entire company to arouse her
produced any result. When she
was finally resored to consciousness,
it was, strange to say, though her
own direction. The girl had begun
again waving her hands with q cir
cular motion when her subject sud-.
denly commenced moving on and in
an opposite direction. The amature
Aypnotist then made her 1novem ent
correspond with that of Mrs. Camb-
bell with the result that conscious
ness soon began to return. Mrs.
Campbell has no recollection what
ever Of giving any such direction
but, it " az plainly observed by all
present. -
d The only impressions that remain
of her trance state are those of
greater and less degrees of darkness.
She remembers that, at first, all grew
gradually dark until she became
oblivious of all about her. Then on
one side it began to Tighten while
the other side remained dark. In
this state she could dimly seeobjects
moving. Next came long period of
unconsclousness caused. she thinks,
by the efforts of her friends to pro-
duce an opposite effect. After this
she remembers nothing until final
recovery began. ~
( Her experience left no bad results
but she was sufficiently frightened
80 that she will not soon repeat the
performance. Mrs. Gown and Mrs.
Campbell afterward talked with a
''..medium'' in regard to the matter
and were told that it was very dan
gerous experiment The girl might
have put her into trance which
would last for days and from which
unless her heart was very strong,
indeed, she might never have re-
covered. Adrian Guardian.
