A recent interviewer Of DR.. Henry
Van Dyke discovered among his treas
ures photograph Of Rudyard Kipling
upon which Kipling had written this
odd aphorism: LAS a matter OF cold
fact, the man who calls himself real
list is in the nature Of things a libelous
and unconvincing romanticist; where

much light on the scope and meaning

know that it is time for you to take
your medicine" Hardly were the
words out Of his mouth when in came
the princess with a bottle, and repeat

had just given. But both burst into
Titanic laughter, and parted on the
best Of terms.

III. Hyslop in his recently published
Science and q Future Life states
authoritatively that a census Of abnor-
NAL experiences made by the Society
