SO ended the lesson OF my unlucky
astralization, and my story is done, ex-
cept that | deem it due to Marian to de
clare explicitly she had not been guilty
of any such improperly as | seemed to
witness. In fact, she not only had no
visitor that evening, but was not even
at home, having gone to spend the night
at her sisters. The scene which ap-
peared so shockingly real to me was
simply an artful illusion, got up by a
couple of .waggish ''elementals, who
imeersonated her,and the total stranger
with such skill as to completely deceive
me. Their trick could not have been
successful but for the perturbation of
mind was in at the time, but am not
now sorry it was played, for it will en-
nance my caution in accepting as real
even the most plausible appearances on
the astral plane.

Ferocious Beasts.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. 1.-The man
ager and employees at the winter quar-
tiers of the Barnum & Bailey show in
this city received hair raising shock
few days ago from which they have
not yet recovered. One day recently
s'Tody'' Hamilton, the press agent of the
firm, who has charge of the quarters
during the winter, was approached by
big hulking German, who said his
name was Hans. He was looking for
work, and as it happened a man was
needed about the place he was engaged
to clean out the cages Of the tigers and
lions. He was put to work at once, and
Mr.. Hamilton went off.
On returning he; looked for his new
man for some time without finding any
trace of him, but ON prosecuting his
search further he was paralyzed with
horror as he approached the cage of the
largest and fiercest lions in the place to
see Hans inside the cage. He was 60
ing about his work calmly and method
ically, wholly unconscious of his danger
Slowly and vigorously he swept the foo1
with worn broom, which he occasion
ally shook in the faces of the kingly
beasts when he wanted them to move
out of the way. The lions seemed to be
surprised and almost stunned at the SUI
preme Indifference Of the man and kept
huddled together in one corner of the
cage until he wanted to clean that par
ticular spot, when he coolly walked over,
and prodding them with his broom as
if they were so many cats made them
trot over to the other side.
AS soon SIS Mr.. Hamilton recovered
from his amazement he hurriedly col
lected as many men as he could find and
returned to the cage, fully expecting to
see the German torn to pieces. He at
once ordered the venturesome Hans out
of the cage, but Hans laughed at Mr..
Hamiltons fears and wanted to finish
his job. He finally obeyed orders and
quietly climbed down without a scratch.
The animals are considered the most
bloodthirsty and treacherous in the cir
Gus, and the greatest care has always
been exercised in dealing with them.
The German, however, could not be
convinced that he stood in any danger,
and it was some time before he could be
induced to use the long rakes which are
always employed in cleaning out the
cages of the lions and tigers. The only
explanation that can be given of the
mans escape from a horrible death is
that the beasts must have been con-
WINGED from Hans steady use of the
broom and the way in which he poked
it into their faces that they were deal
ing with an animal of some new species
which they had never seen before.

winter Protection for Plants.

40 - ~-~-~-~'
The opinion sometimes expressed that
hardy plants need no protection during
winter is not shared in by persons who
find increased crops where protection is
given. 1t is argued by some that the
strawberry, for instance, is naturally as
hardy as many other plants which re-
quire and receive no protection what
ever, and so with the other cultivated
plants, such as the grape, raspberry, etc.
This is true TO certain extent, and 1t
nothing further were looked for than
the mere existence of plant it would
not greatly matter whether it received
protection or not. But it is found in
practice, says Mr.. William Saunders,
superintendent of gardens and grounds
at Washington, that a proper degree OF
covering notably increases the crops of
fruit, and it is well to keep in mind
that the best varieties of our fruit bear
ing plants have been far removed from
the natural conditions of their ancestors
and have acquired artificial qualities, as
it were, by careful cultivation, and
which can only be maintained by con-
slant attention to their needs. Ii neg
lected they will soon show the ordinary
result Of negligence, and it is only by
giving all the judicious attention and
care which the best experience suggests
that they can develop their greatest
profit and usefulness. But it is also a
common observation that good prac-
tice may be rendered nugatory by in
judicious application.

THE END.
What an Astral Body Is.

The structure of the inner astral man
is definite and coherent. Just as the
outer body has a spine, which is the
column whereon the being sustains
itself with the brain at the top, SO the
astral body has its spine and brain. Il
is material, for it is made of matter,
however finely divided, and is not of the
nature of the spirit.
After the maturity of the child before
birth this form is fixed, coherent and
lasting, undergoing but small alteration
from that day until death. And SO also
as to it's brain-that remains unchanged
until the body is given up, and does not,
like the outer brain, give up cells to be
replaced by others from hour to hour.
These inner parts are thus more perma-
nent than the outer correspondents to
them.
Our material organs, bones and It's
sues are undergoing change each in
slant. This is not the case with the in
ner form. It alters only from life to
life, being constructed at the time Of
reincarnation to last for whole period
of existence. For it is the model fixed
by the present evolutionary proportions
for the outer body. It is the collector,
as it were, of the visible atoms which
make us as we outwardly appear.
So at birth it is potentially of a GER
tain size, and when that limit is reached
it stops the further extension of the
body. At the same time the outer body
is kept in shape by the inner one until
the period of decay. And this decay,
followed by death, is not due to bodily
disintegration per Sc, but to the fact
that the term of the astral body is
reached when it is no longer able to
hold the outer frame intact. Its power
to resist the impact and war OF the ma
terial molecules being exhausted, the
sleep Of death supervenes.
Now, as in our physical form the brain
and spine are the centers for nerves, so
in the other there are the nerves which
ramify from the inner brain and spine
all over the structure. All of these are
related to every organ in the outer Wis
ible body. They are more in the nature
of currents than nerves, as we under
stand the word, and may be called astro-
nerves.--A Theosophist in Lucifer.

SELECTING SEED POTATOES.
American Cultivator's Advice in This Inn
portant Matter.

American Cultivator's Advice in This Inn
portant Matter.
Selecting good seed potatoes from this
seasons crop is the surest way to have
profitable yield next season. The more
we plant potatoes the more we are inn
pressed with the great value of having
good seed. So much depends upon this
that it is risky. to depend upon others
for seed. 1t is a matter of experiment,
and then it takes several experiments
with poor crops before we are certain
where to get good potatoes. To get
large, fine looking potatoes, that will
sell readily in the market for the high
est prices, it is quite essential that the
seed should come from the very largest
tubers that we dig from our fields.
The value of selecting seed potatoes
for home use has been made apparent
on Long Island. Potatoes from that
part of the country invariably sell for
more than those from any other state or
locality. The market gardeners there
have selected their seed carefully for
many years. The result is that type
of potatoes has been formed which are
of especial value. They are larger,
fairer and more globular in shape than
potatoes from any other section. The
market gardeners there believe in the
theory that the potato must be adapted
to the particular soil in which it is
grown by a number of years trial. In
the course of time, if the seed from the
crops is selected, new type of potato
is raised, and seed from these tubers
planted on other soil would not do SO
well.
To readers who have not already Sc
lected their seed potatoes it is advised
that as far as possible potatoes for seed
should be Of average size and shape. In
this way one soon gets about the same
sized potatoes from the field. They not
only average well in size, but also in
shape. This is quite an important point
in selling potatoes. They can all be put
into the first assortment, and their SINH
larity Of shape makes them attractive.
Extremely large, crooked potatoes are
not SO desirable, as a rule, as the smaller
but fair, regular and thin skinned ones.
In selecting the seed this point should
be remembered. Of course it is an ad
vantage to select the largest, but they
should all be of about the same type and
shape.

Plaster and Salt.

Country Gentleman says: s'Plaster, al
though one of the cheapest fertilizers, IS
quite variable in its effects on the
growth Of crops on different soils and in
different seasons. One hundred pounds
to the acre have been as useful as a
larger quantity. Salt, like plaster, is
uncertain in its action, but is put on
more copiously than plaster, at the rate
Of from five to ten bushels an acre. The
value of either can be determined only
by making the trial in different locali-
ties"

An Old Question Reanswered.


With each recurring season is asked,
care bees which have been wintered in
the cellar as hardy as those wintered out
of doors?" As usual, there was not
unanimity in the replies given to this
query by leading apiarists i'll Gleanings
in Bee Culture. To use MIR. Roots own
words in concluding the matter, these
started out, 81 think So" and then, 81
think not" and SO on. Then it becomes
apparent that locality has something to
do with it. Our good friend Muth, away
down in Cincinnati, prefers his bees out
doors. Doolittle thinks that where he
is-central New York-one is as good as
the other. Professor Cook, of Michigan,
agrees. Friend France, of Wisconsin
with his great big tenement hives, as |
should suspect, prefers outdoor winter
ing. So, you see, it depends on the size
and kind of hive. And then friend Ma
mum, of Vermont, suggests that when
taken out of the cellar they should have
outside protection. And, by the way,
some good friend declares that the best
way in the world to winter bees is to put
them in chaf hives and then carry the
chaff hives into the cellar. When you
carry them out in the spring they will
have the chaf hive protection. Mrs.
Harrison, of Illinois, says it depends on
how late you leave them in the cellar
Taking thin walled hive right out of
the cellar andleaving it exposed to heavy
frosts or severe freezing is not just the
thing. DIR. Miller, of Illinois, has an
uncomfortable suspicion. If he were in
our locality-Ohio-I think this ''sus-
picion" would be still more uncomfort-
