CASTS FROM SPIRIT HANDS.
Mr.. A. A. Wood Exhibits the Plastic
Products of a Spiritual Seance.

New YORK, February THE Herald re-
ports that at Sunday afternoons meeting of
the Spiritual Alliance, held at No. So West
Thirtieth street, Mr.. A. A. Wood exhibited
what he pronounced 10 be "the browning
triumph OF Spiritualism"-two plaster casts
OF the human hand, alleged TO have been
nodded from the members OF materialIzed
spirits in the seclusion OF a mediums cabi
net. They looked very natural indeed. One
was the left hand, apparently, of an aged
person of large frame and broken health.
Mr.. Wood said he recogniz- ID it as the hand
OF deceased relative, and he mad asked for
reasons OF his own that the left hand be
nodded for him. The second hand was small
and prettily formed. 1t was said to have
been identified as The right hand of the
daughter of certain old gentleman
whose name was not mentioned. The
remarkable feature of each was that.
save in spots, all The markings OF the
skiu were perfect. The wrinkles of age
in the larger hand, the perfect lines of
pabillss in the smaller one were alike brought
out with an exacti,ude that seemed beyond
art. Mr.. Wood argued that they could not
have been taken from a living model, as the
hand could not be Withdrawal from a mold
without cutting or breaking it, while these
casts exhibited none Of the sharp ridges COM
mOniy seen on pissteT hOfk WneIo the Qluer-
ent sections OF the molds meet. Mr.. Wood
simply asserted that they were the work of
spirits; that they could not have been hu.
mshly produced, and challenged his hearers
to suggest possible method. He had shown
them to a firm of molders, who said they
could not initiate them. Mr.. Wood ex-
planned that the melds were produced with
pan OF parsfine wax and vessel of water.
"The process" he said, dis that the material
lied spirit hayd is dipped alternately in the
hot paraffine AID the cold water until thick
crust is formed, just as dip-candle is made.
Then the hand is spiritualizsd and the mold
remains empty. A living hand would be
melted away by the boiling wax. l took
home the two that we found in the cabinet,
poured plaster paris into them, and, OF
course, had to break the molds 10 get the
casts cut. Iregard this as better test than
NATURALIZATION. In naturalization the
trouble il, that now you see the spirit, and
now you don't. have not only seen, but

To increase her prosperity the South must
increase her products and find markets for
them. 1t is astonishing to those Of the old
school what has been done in this way since
the war, and how many avenues of wealth
have been opened formerly uAthought of or
disregarded. This has been seen especially
in the production and sale of fruits and
vegetables, a trade evidently in its infancy,
and which increases every year. RELY &
Co., of 81. Louis, have published pamphlet
which contains much useful Information on
this subject, some of which we condense for
the benefit especially of our country read
ers. Not only are vast quantities of South
ern horticultural products shipped away
each season, but establishments for canning
and drying are becoming frequent, 80 that
what is not wanted in our home markets
may be shipped 10 foreign lands. The fret
thing our people who would make money
from their home products have to be careful
about, is as TO what they pack and how they
pack it. Good articles, carefully put up, 20
as 10 reach the market in the best possible
condition, pay best. Every grower and
packer should resolve that in excellence
nobody shall beat him-send away nothing
that is inferior. Those earliest in the market
get the best prices; it pays, therefore, 10
have frames and straw TO protect from frost.

if early and packed in one-third and one
half bushel, ventilated, neat boxes In
string beans the round beans sell at better
prices than the fat. The first toma-
toes received last year were from Ber-
muds, each fruit wrapped in brown paper
packed in slat peck boxes, in July Arkansas
sold at 81 TO 81 25 box. Southern Illinois
packs well, has few bruised or imperfect, and
gets good prices. Growers should notice
this; from the South there is not care enough
though there is money 10 them if gathered
just when beginning to color, not left until
ripe, well packed in one-third bushel boxes,
and not too long on the way to market. Po-
tatoes must be in well ventilated packages,
put up close so as not to bruise. Money h
lost by shipping too soon and small. Sweet
potatoes do moderately well, some Southern
yams are in demand. Asparagus when early
takes we'll in Chicago. Radishes, beets, early
corn, etc, wilt in transit, and do not pay as
we'll. Strawberries are very popular, the |
supply of good hardly equaling the de.
mand. More money is made from them
than from any other fruit, and they bring
more money to the acre. Early shipments
pay well; Arkansas and, particularly, Mis-
sissippi did well last season. Scarlets sold |
