one of the stories OF the whole world:
for there is hardly people which has
not it's tale of magic slumber and awak-
ening. It has been conjectured with
some plausibility that the origin Of
these stories is to be sought in hyp'
notism. Certainly it is a striking point
that wands, pins, rings or similar OBJ
jects that would assist in the hyp-
notist's suggestions commonly figure
In them. In many eastern versions the
girl goes to sleep, or dies, when a
magic rod is laid near her head; she
rises from sleep or death when an
other is placed at her feet. In
Grimm's "Briar Rose" the heroine
pricks herself with her spindle. In
Scandinavian and Celtic versions it is
a sleep thorn.

Wiping up the linoleum with milk

the sickness of it will in time make
