The Hannah Soul.

A Chicago paper publishes the follow
ing special dispatch from Lincoln,
Neb. GA most remarkable discovery
has recently developed in this city. 1t
is of such an astounding nature that the
correspondent hesitates to give the cir
cumstances to the public on account of
being barred at present from giving
names, although there is no good reason
why It should not be done. However,
the gentleman who has made the dis
covery requests it. His disclosure con-
sists in proving beyond the possibility
of a doubt by scientific means the exist
ence of the human soul, laying bare the
greatest secret of nature, and proving
the doctrine Of eternal faith. THAT the
soul of man doth live, the disclosure and
proofs of which will shortly startle and
astonish the world For The sake OF
convenience the gentleman alluded to
will be called Mr.. Holland, a man Of
small stature, a mild eye, and thoughtful
countenance, a devout Christian posses
sing peculiar belief that the soul of
man is counterpart of the body itself;
and in this theory of the dual man he
sought the key Of life and death. He
reasoned that within this body OF bone
and sinew was yet another body exist
ing in vapory form which death alone
should free. and that by simple micro
scopic device the dull sight of human
ewes might penetrate the minutest par
ticles of the air we breathe and see the
soul take form and flight 10 the bounda-
ries of another world. His attention
was first attracted to this, he says, by
a man lying upon sofa suffering with
a pain in his foot, and yet there was no
foot there to suffer, the leg having been
amputated nearly to the hip. For
years. says Mr.. Holland, 'this incident
ran through my mind, until at last re-
solved upon an experiment. procured

and completed an invention of my own,

companied me to my rooms and did as |

"Reading Everything"

"He has read everything" is re-
mark frequently made when scholarly
man is under discussion. How absurd
such statemant is will appear when
the fact is mentioned that in the Con-
gressional library at Washington there
are over 600, 900 volumes. If they were
placed side by side they would fill a
shelf fifty miles long. If a man started
to read this collection at the rate of one
volume day, it would take him 1850
years to get through. And while the
man would be at work on this vast Ii
brary the printers would be turning out
more than $1,000 new books a year.
From these figures it would be seen that
it is idle to think of reading everything,
or even to read all the best books. The
greatest readers among our distinguish
ed men have had their favorite books,
which they read and reread. Certain
books in our language are called classics.
They are models of style and full of
ideas and illustrations. Modern writer's
60 to these old authors and set Jumps of
solid gold which they proceed to beat
out very thin. Why should we take the
gold leaf article when we can go to the
original mines and get solid nuggets ?
The old novels are the best. The old
poets have not been equaled. Too many
of our new books are written hastily to
sell. They are of an inferior quality and
cannot profit us in any way. A man,
therefore, need not be ashamed to say
that he has not read the last new book.
When forty new books appear every day
1t is impossible to read them all.

HoIssein Cows.

Aviter IN the Lice Stock Indicator
has the following to say in favor OF
Holstein cows:
am not breeder of Holstein cattle.
heither am i interested financially In
their success In this country; but l
wish to say few words in commenca-
ton OF the big black-and.white "milk-
ing-machines, as they are called. Now
that the rival associations Of this breed
have settled their differences-which
seem to have been chiefly the matter Of
name-and- have united in one strong
organization, 1t is to be expected that
the energy formerly exhibited in fight
ing one another will be turned In the
direction of advancing the interests of
the breed. / feel certain that when
these cattle become known I'm the West
their popularity will be great. That
they are the heaviest mixers Of any
breed of cattle cannot be denied, and
while their claims to beef qualifications
are generally secuted by breeders OF
strictly beef cattle. yet it Is folly for
them to longer close their eyes to the
fact that the big frames of the Holsteins
are capable Of carrying a great weight
Of beef, aud l miss my guess greatly if
the coming fat-stock shows do not fur
nish conclusive evidence Of their good
feeding qualities and the excellent char
acter of their beef. While the quantity
of the milk flow is universally admitted
Inequality is much sneered at, particu-
larly by the breeders of that butter COW,
tiie Jersey To a man on the outside
thisis tolcrably cool, in view of the fact
that the HOlstein COW Mercedes held the
Gazetts's challenge cup as the best
butter COW of the world, having won
the same in square contest with
..'crack" Jersey COW. Some people can
Disregard facts with cheerfulness that
is charming. l believe it to be fact
that the. H6lstein is winning its way
rapidly In the regard of our people as
the grandest combination cow known.
"Milk and beef" is the cry of our COM
mon farmers. and these qualities can be
found nowhere else in such admirable
combination as in the Holstein. don't
believe that this breed is the equal, by
any means, of our so-called beef breeds
when. IL comes to those qualities, al
though enthusiastic Holstein men are
hot backward in asserting It.; but what
mean to say is that the cow in the
hands of our farmers that will give the
most milk and then be easily turned
into good beef carcass, seems to be the
Holstein.

DO You Smoke -?

The United States Navy annually
takes into its service large number of
apprentice, boys who are sent all over
the world and taught to be thorough
sailors. 1t has been the policy of the
government since the war to educate
the "blue jacket" upon the principle
that the more intelligent the man is the
better sailor he is likely to become.
There is no lack Of candidates for these
positions. Hundreds of boys apply, but
many are rejected because they cannot
pass the physical examination. Major
Houston, one of the Marine corps, who
is in charge of the Washington navy
yard barracks, is authority for the
statement that one-fiftE of all the boys
examined are rejected on account Of
heart disease.
Il His first question to boy who desires
to enlist is: "Do you smoker" The in
variable response is "no, sir" but the
tell-tale discoloration of the fingers at
once. shows the truth. The surgeons
say that cigarette smoking by boys pro-
duces heart disease, and that in ninety
nine cases out of hundred the rejec-
ton Of would+be apprentices on account
Of this defect comes from excessive use
of the milder form of tie weed. This is
a remarkable statement, coming, as it
does, from so high an authority, and
based upon the result Of actual exami-
nations going on day after day, and
month after month. 1t should be q

garette is sure to bring about incalcula-
