We look generally upon the human
body, with all its different organs, each
exactly suited for the work it has to do,
j as a wonderful machine, and so it is, but
perhaps the most wonderful thing about
!. it is that behind the visible outer form
which can be seen and felt, is an unseen
| invisible body, as perfect in every detail
as its Counterpart. Anyhow Theosophy
! declares that there is, and if we stop to
think of it moment, reason tells us that
there must be, for there are many things
that point to its existance. For instance,
how else can the fact be explained that
throughout the continued change and
growth of the body during life it keeps it's
shape and general appearance? Science
! bI shown that from birth to death there
/ lsa constant wasting away of old matter
which composes it and u taking on of new,
| 50 that every seven years there has been
| worked a complete change. That is, the
body you have now is not the body you
had seven years ago, because every atom
OF physical substance in it has been re,
newed Now, then, how is it if there has
been such an alteration in the material of
which it is made, that it is enabled to
keep its shape, its same general character

merely the outer crust. We might com

With increasing age, and so we grow tall

these sense organs, which in turn read

Then there is another proof There
have been many cases recorded of persons
having felt for hours and sometimes tor
days afterwards, a hand, arm or leg that

ly even as to be persuaded that such
member was still attached to them. This
has occurred TOO often to be considered
simply as delusion of the patient, but
by this doctrine of the inner body is read
lily explained. When the limb was cut off
the knife did not have any effect on the
inner counterpart, which having merely
been deprived of its outer covering still
retained all its feeling, until with the
lapse of time, under this unusual condit-
ion, it withered up, for this inner body
must decay and die when its usefulnes is
over.

Compressed Air Painting.

Compressed air now threatens to de-
prive the painter of at least part of his
occupation. 1t is not the painter of pic
lures who is menaced, but only those
humber claimants of the name whose
energies are applied on broader scale
and who distribute their colors from a
pail instead of from a palette. Several
railroads, including the Atohison, the
Erie, the Illinois Central, the Allegheny
Valley and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
companies have decided that compressed
air, besides driving tools and hoists,
cleaning cushions and performing sew
eral other tasks in carshops for which
hand labor was once considered neces-
sary, can also be made to do the rougher
forms of painting, especially that of
freight cars The machine used resem-
bles a huge atomizer. 1t is connected
with the air supply by small hose, and
the paint is contained in tank mounted
ON a truck, from which it is siphoned
by another hose. The paint is thrown in
fine spray upon the surface to be COW
cred and is driven by the force of the
cir into the most minute crevices and
under iron and other attachments where
it is difficult to work with a brush. An
ordinary standard "a foot box car can be
painted by this process in from 80 to 45
minutes, making a saving in expense of
about 40 per cent ON the average cost of
painting with the brush. New York

Death of Miss Ruth Craig.

1t is with aching heart that we bow
to the inevitable and chronicle the
death of Miss Ruth Craig, the sad
event occurring at o'clock Wednes-
day morning. Surrounded by the fam
lily, loving Deighbors and her faithful
physician, this young life went out.
For many days the heroic battle for
existence had been waged, but the
disease bafiied the skill of the doctors
and Ruth is no more.
1t is a terrible affliction to her par
ents and the family who for nearly
nineteen years have watched over and
nurtured her, and to have her torn
from them at the most interesting
time of her young life is indeed shock
ing. The community suffers deeply in
this, for it can be truly said that she
was always ready to assist with her
best talent any worthy object looking
toward the elevation or enjoyment of
our people. She was II general favor
ite, and nothing but words of praise of
her life and character, and sorrow at
her untimely death can be heard on
every hand.
The funeral will be held at her late
home this afternoon at three o'clock.

A Shortage of Cattle.

One popularity of the past winters
cattle trade has been the disposition of
feeders to sell their stock as soon as
it was in any kind of shape for mar
ket. says National Stockman. Compar-
atively few have kept cattle in the feed
lot until they were fully finished. This
was entirely unexpected in view of the
abundance of feed and the difficulty
of marketing it in any other way. 1t
has, however, prevented any accumu-
lation of cattle to food the market dur
ing the latter part Of the season, as
was the case last year. There is no
over-supply of cattle in sight. Feed
lots are not as full as they were year
ago, either east or west. Distilleries
hold comparatively few, many of these
establishments having been shut down.
There is, too, shortage Of butcher stuff
on farms, which is pushing local
slaughterers into market for cattle, or
to the use of dressed beef. Cows and
heifers are unusually scarce at market
points, affording an outlet for more
butcher steers. On the whole there
does not seem to be anything to inter-
fere with a good market for heavy
steers during the remainder of what
may be called their season, and for
handy and medium weights thereafter.
If the advancing tendency in other live
stock is continued it would not be sur
prising to see cattle selling higher
within the next sixty days. There is
nothing in sight to justify any boom,
but an advance of SO cts. per 100 lbs.
Is considered within the bounds of pos
sibility by good many cattle men.
Time alone will tell whether their fore
casts are correct.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1897-05-21
Starting a Flock.

This is the season Of the year when
many are thinking of either starting
a laying flock of hens or reinvigorating
an old flock by the introduction OF new
blood, says a writer in Southern Plant
er. It is a good time to do this, as the
spring-hatched chickens are of sufh-
Gent size and so fully feathered as to
show clearly what kind of hens they
are likely to make, and breeders are
now anxious to sell before cold wealth
er and the heavier requirements of
winter feeding comes upon them. If
you have no hens, or only a few "old
scrubs" which you have decided to kill
off, then the question naturally first
arises, what breed should be bought?
If the object is eggs and eggs alone,
then you cannot go wrong in buying
Leghorns, either white or brown. With
these you will never be troubled with
sitting hens, but you must make up
your mind to fence your garden not
merely with four-foot fence, but with
one at least six feet high, If you in
tend to keep the hens out of it, or you
must have your hen house so far away
from the garden that they will sell
dom come near it. They are the most
active breed of fowls, and are ever
on the alert. As consequence of this,
