Furniture Polish.

There is simple mixture Of kero-
sene and inseed oil, two quarts of kero-
sene to one of linseed oil, which
makes the best furniture polish that
has come to my notice. This should
only be mixed a little at time. y
Some use turpentine but this is not
SO trustworthy as it will dull instead
of brighten the polish in time. After
the piece of furniture to be treated
has been well busted, take soft piece
of flannel ana dip in the preparation;
rub small surface Of woodwork,
aud then take another small surface,
allowing the first to stand while this
is being done; then take clean fan
mel, and rub until the polish shines to
suit you. This will leave polish
brilliant and beautiful IF this pol
ishing takes place occasionally, the
furniture may be kept looking like
new for an almost indefinite time; .in-
deed, might say indefinitely, if it is
ali of wood. BE sure the rags are
absolutely clean and free from dust;
the same ones may be used, and wash
ed to use again as long as they last
When there are upholstered cush-
ions on the chairs or other furniture,
dust well with whisll broom, then
rub rapidly with flannel wet with
gasoline. There must be no fire in
the room during the process, and not
even match struck in it until the
odor has evaporated, it will be best
to set such pieces out Of doors to
clean them, if possible. Lutheran

probably not one of us who might not
be haunted this very day or ught by
a spectre projected from his own i'm
agination. Men of great reputation
for learning have in numerous instan-
ces recorded their observations of ia
miliar phantoms, which, though they
recognized them as creatures of their
own brains, have been constant com
panions Of their waking hours, always
likely to be on hand aud accepting no
hints to depart.
"You ask what would happen if one
should approach a ghost such as | have
described and try to touch it, My re-
ply is that there would certainly be
no danger in doing so, for spectrcs
never do anybody any harm, the fear
of them entertained by most people
being simply a dread of that which is
unknown and not understood. What
ever is unknown is always terrible.
But the phantom is composed Of mat
ter too tcnuous TO present any obsta-
Gle, and | DO not doubt that it would
dissolve and disappear if you attempt
ed to walk through it,

and understanding. St. Paul says,
'Thcrc is a natural body and spirit
ual body 1t is Of the spiritual body
that am speaking.
"Our senses take cognizancc Of no
fOrns Of matter except those which
are in certain degree Of condcnsa-
ton, but, as | have already said, the
spiritual body may be Of more rari
fled and tcnuous substance. The non
appearance Of ghosts to us may be 4
question not of the existence Of spec
tres. but Of the acutcncss Of our per
ceptivc faculties. My own experience
is that the coming Of an appariton is
always preceded by j curious sense
ton which | call the ghost ....i..
When this symptom arrives the
threshold OF consciousness seems to be
shifted to the extent Of rendering pos
siblc a perception Of something ordi
narily invisible. The change is usual
ly very brief, lasting only few see.
onds, during which the manifestation
occurs.
Since childhood have found my
self possessed Of an organism in Which
the threshold of consciousness IS
markedly capable Of such shifting. On
several occasions have been aware Of
the presence Of spiritual bodies Of de-
ceased persons, who gave to me infor-
nation that was not otherwise obtain
able, and who conveyed to my mind a
conviction Of their identity. The cv-
idcntial value Of these experiences is
wholly personal, Of course, inasmuch
as they are not subject to the ordinary
processes Of veriiication.
In each Of US there is an inner in
dividuality which differs wholly in it's
characteristics from our other self. 1t
is not subject to the law Of gravita-
tion, and it cannot be mechanically
affected to it's injury or benefit. 1t
does not depend for its being upon the
welfare or survival of the body it in
habits. 1t is capable of changing it's
location by its own volition under GER
tain circumstances, such as I will
presently mention, though probably
not exactly in accordance with our
idea of transfer through space. To
such a being the notion Of time is
doubtless different from our own, and
this may give it a duration Of cxistenc ce
comparable with our notion of endless
life. Very likely it is not coulincd to
this planet when once released from
the body. Indeed nothing forbids
~thc assumption that it antedatcd the
body Which it inhabits. It's the soul
of ordinary language, and may consist
Of a substance as dense for it's condi-
tions of environments as is the physi-
cal body for the conditions surround

ical body as implying the death of the
latter, but there is plenty of evidence
to show that it sometimes leaves the
corporeal tenement for brief time,
presently returning. | myself have
seen phantoms of living persons on
more than one occasion, which looked
and acted precisely as the individuals
themselves might have done. They
looked like figures thrown upon
screen by magic lantern usually, being
recognized for few moments, and
then disappearing, but in some cases
they had every appearance Of solidar
ity, to the extent of hiding objects
behind them. | never heard any Of
them speak, but on two or three occa-
sions they gave ineligible messages
by their attitudes and'gcsturcs. There
is no essential difference between the
spectre of living human being and
the apparition Of dead person, SO far
as appearances 90. Each Of us, as |
have said, carries his own ghost with
him. which is ordinarily under the
control Of the posscssor, but some
times appears to act independently.
As Il rule, the projection Of phan-
tom by a living person is an involun-
tary act, resulting ordinarily from
great mental perturbation, with the
cause of which the individual to whom
the spectre appears is in some way
connected. The most startling in
stances Of this kind occur little be-
fore or a little after the death Of the
sender, and such ghosts are known as
death wraiths
Zone reason that have for bclicv-
ing the evidence Of my own senses in
this matter is that on several occasions
the apparition Of my own personality
has presented itself to other persons
in places where my body was not at
the time. Some years ago J. was in
Chicago, at an ordinary evening party
with about forty friends, when an in
dividual in Washington, who did not
even know where I was, was visited
by my phantasm, and received from it
brief message stating where I was at
the time, and giving the names of two
or three of the guests present-pcrsons
whom the observer was acquainted.
This is one Of the rare cases where a
ghost made itself audible. The So
ciety for Psychical Research has col
lcctcd enough carefully attested and
fully authenticated instances of such
appearances to fill two bulky octave vol
umes.
"Of course, in study of this inter
csting subject, the chief and obvious
difficulty is to distinguish veritable
apparitions from mere hallucinations.
We know that the bodily senses are
very easily deceived, and therefore we
have to be on our guard in sitting all
the evidence obtainable. There is

Anita Herald on being Reasonable.

The Audubon REPUBLICAN says
'Reasonableness even in politics pays. "
We hope to goodness gracious the RE
PUBLICAN will practice some of its
teachings. For of all the democratic
hating, Mckinley worshipping and
holier-than thou, papers that comes to
this Office the REPUBLICAN caps the
sheaf. Anita Herald
We do not hate democrats at all .
Indeed we have the kindest feeling for
them, many of them being among our
best friends. OF course we must ad-
nit, however, that we very much dis
like, yes abominate, some of their
doctrines and party policies. AS to
worshiping Mckinley, we worship no
man. We greatly admire William Nc
Kinley. We believe him to be states
man, q gentleman and a christian.
Those terms embrace great deal.
When Lincoln lived, although only IA
boy we greatly admired and loved him.
The party which Mr. Wait acts with
denounced him bitterly then though
now it holds him up as saint. Now,
Bro. Wait, don't you think this is hy-
pocritical on democracy's part? Isn't
Bryan playing the cheap demogogue
when he quotes continually..from Lin
coin? We presume Bro. Wait will, rs
soon as Mckinley dies, hold him up
as hero the same as his party now
does Lincoln and Blaine, whom they
traduced while living. With them n
good republican is only dead one.
Now when the Herald will correctly
and truthfully present republican
positions on the questions OF the cam
paign it will be time for it to ask its
republican exchanges to be less radical
and more reasonable. The Herald is
doing its full share of talking about
things that are not issues, or should
not be, in this campaign, and doing it
to create prejudice and not to con-
vince the reason of its readers.

Germans are for Mckinley.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. Nv. M.
Thrum, the we'll known German lin
quist of this city, in awnser to a ques-
ton submitted him wrote as follows:
"How will the Germans vote in No
vember? This question may be an
swered with absolute certainty. They
will vote for Mckinley and expansion,
for sound money and prosperity.
Democratic papers have of late made
the absurd statement that, being afraid
of militarism, they would vote for
Bryan. Such statements show lament
able ignorance regarding the German
voting element. The Germans will
always vote for sound money system.
Bryan l6-to-l nonsense and the free sill
yer craze have driven many German
democrats into the republican party.
They decided the election in 1896 in
favor of Mckinley, and they will vote
this fall with even greater unanimity
than four years ago. AS far as that
talk about militarism is concerned
they understand perfectly that this il
simply bugbear, intended to brighten
them into voting for Bryan. But they
have too much intelligence and com
mon sense to be entrapped by such
clumsy methods. The republicans ad,
mire Mckinley for his unalterable in
tegrity, his kindly sentiments toward
the people and his broad and splendid
craftsmanship. They are going to
vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt.
