UNIVERSAL HALOS.

A London doctor has made the
startling discovery that every man,
woman and child in the world Is the
nossessor of a halo. We had supposed
halos were only actually TO be seen
in pictures OF angels, saints and other
scriptural characters, though hgura-
tivelv they are sometimes painted 10
the imaginations OF lovers for their
loves, Of remarryiug widows and widow
ers for their first consorts, OF political
snellbinders for their candidates &c DC.
To be told now that each one OF us
ordinary mortals has one, though 1t
makes us bit proud on our own ac-
count, yet grieves us with the thought
that this precious thing has becoEe 50
common.
This doctor not only makes this
astounding statement, but be STANDS
ready to demonstrate ii by ocular
proof. He has rugged up an appaia-
tus, by which the halo, or aura, as he
calls it. may be distinctly seen. He
uses a dsrkened room, with numerous
glass sides and single feeble beam OF
light, one might suppose that the
strongest possible light would be nee
cassary 10 detect the halos OF some
people: bat it is not so. When the
subject is properly placed between the
observed and this wavering beam, the
halo develops plainly in a sort OF out
line of mist ami moonshine around
the person observed. Strange to say
it is not confined to the head. where
we we're taught halo properly be-
longed. but encircles the whole body,
like an embroidery of very pale smoke.
Its always present. People carry
these halos, not only to church. but
on the streets, in bar-rooms and every
where. Who would have thought It?
Truly, the marvels Of science will
never cease. Now the men can greet
each other with. Good morning.
How's YOUR halo?" and ladies can in
ouire OF each other, Is my halo on
