credible fact we are compelled to ac-

the ordinary woman, unconscious that
anything has changed IN her power OF

diently and tries to become blind in
one eye. and does this SC. effectively
that the3Nision of one eye Is practically
out of function The woman becomes
what is technically called 'soul-blind'
on one eye. To perform this feat by
voluntary effort Is entirely out of tho
question. The clever2st student could
rot do 1t. and surely not an unculttrat-
ed woman taken unawaras. This curl
Gus experiment shows, to put 1t In
few words, that the part of our being
which obeys and carries out suggestion
issa far more clever and powerful agen-
cY than our ordinary conscious per-
sonality. And, moreover. that our
avery-day conceptions about .imagina-
ton and stimulation are far too crude
and simple to cover the facts discov-

This Is The Casual Philosopher
An Old vas talking about some-

most mysterious and ex-
traordinary force known to the obser-
walton of meni-that singular motion
which ensues between two human be-
ings of opposite sex, and an obedience
to which may involve the surrender of
reason wisdom, and honor He quoted
the query of an earlier philosopher OF
himself--"What Is more pitfable than
a wise man at the mercy of his
aemotons?' Has the world ever ex-
planned" he asked %the nature OF the
force which draws together irresistibly
two persons having no mental, spirit

Whatsoever: whose nature and sympa-

dilections and instincts, may be radi-
cally and unalterahly opposed? What
is the nature of the force which is abba
to supersede and set at naught these
natural antipathies? And observe" ha
continued, "the strange manner OF Its
workings. These two beings of OPP
