Where Hypnotism Failed.

When Daysey Mayme Appleton returned recently from a party where the influence of several minds over one had been the evening’s entertainment and told her mother how six girls, with their minds bent on one thought, had made a man stand on his head, another man at their silent command' had tried on a woman’s hat and another man had tried to eat water with a fork, it put a suggestion into Mrs. Lysander John Appletonibrain. That evening when Lysander John came home his wife and four daughters sat in a circle with their hands covering their faces and their heads bowed. To all his inquiries they said nothing, and at last, fearing they had gone mad, he sent for the doctor. “We concentrated our minds on the thought that Lysander John must give us $5 each, and Instead of that we have a doctor bill to “pay,” sobbed Mrs. Appleton, “and they said it would be particularly easy to work if the man’s mind was a blank.” —Atchison Globe.
