by this machine isthe sand -papering that
has heretofore been done by hand and two
men III few hours with the machine can
accomplish the same amount Of work that
formerly would require a week time. The
demand on the mill has made labor saving
machines imperative. This does not dis
pense with any help. but in reality neces-
states the employment OF additional
hands in order to keep the other work
abreast of the machinery and enables Mr..
Appieby TO fill his orders promptly. \
frame forty-rwo inches wide may be run
through the machine and produce a much
more perfect polish than could possibly be
given by hand. TO say nothing of the saving
in time There are three sand cylinders,
the first cutting. the second finishing and
the third polishing The work is held in
position and forced across the sand cylin-
ders by means of heavy rollers The first
cylinder has a coarse sand paper which Is
pressed hard against the wood the second
has finer paper with lighter pressure and
the third the finest paper just touching
the work \ revolving brush lastly leaves
the work with the highest polish the wood
is capable Of taking.
The cylinders have both lateral and
rotary motion which is very rapid. In
every detail the lnvincible is simple, COM

durability embodies many new principles
and produces work more perfect and uni
form than can be done by hand
The machine Is manufactured in Beloit.

he added to the average newspaper office
with advantage.
The work done calls for all kinds Of plan
ing mill work, including sash and doors,

Guiding all kinds of interior finish,
and Mr. Appleby deals in all kinds
of hard and soft finishing lumber.
The increase of business within the last
few weeks has caused Mr.. Appleby to sus-
pect that he will be forced to add some
more machinery in certain departments.
This in response to demand which, by
the way. is reported as being felt in all
lines OF manufacturing and jObbing bust
ness in the city. He does not propose TO
allow the plant to get behind in any way,
but, as the demand comes, gladly meet 1t
and ever keep abreast of the times.
EASTER SERVICES AT THE FIRST PRES
BYTERIAN CHURCH.
The Faster services in the First Presby-
terrain church on last Sabbath were very
interesting and appropriate. The Sabbath
school did not have any special exercises,
yet the attendance was unusually large
and enthusiastic.
ALL O'Clock large audience was treated
to an excellent practical discourse by the
pastor on the subject, ''The Divinity of
Christ Proven by His Resurrection. The
evening discourse was very instructive on
Our Resurrection Body" in which the
pastor showed; first, that the idea of the
Immortality of the soul was and is held by
all nations and tribes: second, that the
body which the soul would occupy
in the future world would be different
from that of the present, yet its identity
would be perfect.
Third. That the resurrected body would
be beautiful, perfect and useful and
adapted 30 the environments.
The church was beautifully decorated.
\ bank of lilies, geraniums and palms en-
circled the whole platform, evincin9 taste
and skill in arrangement. The music is
rendered by the choir and congregation
was appropriate to the occasion.
