Newspaper Page Textill 1-8 Original "Will you kindly accompany me to my rooms sir':" TUo apeaher. who touched my elbow white I was passing along the street. r one of the most Mngulnr looking jMroa I over saw. Ills eye were large aud dreamy, ids tody sttuill and Jlellootely made. Ho was bent and withered. "Why should I do thntr I asked. "Bccauso I desire your assistance.". !'t any ono In danger, dying?" 1'Ko oue la in danger, no one is dy ltC. aad yet it is a matter of ileTOV boat which I wish your assistance." "1 mn 6orry. sir, but-1 nm hurrying Jo keep an engagement and enuuot comply with your rciut." "Yom engagement can wait. I can not. I lmvo been many years coming to my present ignition nnd do not lu tein! to defer Mtltfylng myself ns to b result of so mueli thought. Come." "But you can at least ghe me miw iA at to the nature of this aUtauce yon reoulro." "That can be Letter oxplnlnc.i in practice than hi word. 1 am a ior Jclker, and this crowded wrcct Is not a fit pine? for cuauuuuicutlug what pne way have to say. There are tco Euiny people puvslug. Conic to my ouae. There we will be alone. There 1 can explain to you that which bus occupied the principal portion of my life. I propose to honor you with a jponCdcncc tii-ver before bcktowetl on any living prsou. Only the dead have ever received it. The jime lias :nw arrircd for uie to impart It to the liv ing." I . What was my rurpric to find my pelt following thla Ktrnngo creature as f hough I had been his dot;. lie took we through narrow streets, I mppos ins every minute thnt he would dive into some of the mean buildings by iho way, hut ho did not. After a Jour ney that accused liitcrmlnnbhVwc. found poreelvca in r. thinly settled district, End my conductor anally led the way ito a largo brick dwelling that stoo.1 jtloee. The blind were closed, and tho place bad every appearance of bring tuioeenpled. Taking ine to a rear ro. : i pit ths ground floor, he bade .me I o pcati-d and announced his object. lie pad no rosier cvnimen-cd to ajie.ik Juan hi eye ilnsh'.Hl until they aecnicd Jo me to bo I'he two live coal. "I liare been experimenting." he Mid. "for ; ars upon a new method of preaiatlo::. I have doue away witii Jhe hours heretofore required to incln pjate and am now able to accomplish iit work iu ten minutes. If you will jtcp hi here, I will show you ray re fort." He Jed mo Into n rear apaitment without windows n::d with but tiie o:." jioor through which wo entered. Vie liad no sooner paised in than he turn pd tha key and put it In h! pocket. In the center of tho room was a Mjuare brickwork resembling an oven. Thin is my crematory." said my ftrange host. "The heat Jh galvanic. Von seo those wires. They conduct tho current to tho Inner part, when? by a new union of chemical forces hereto fore unknown tho heat is generated. TlUs door is tho aperture through which the object to bo iucinorated en ters by means of this rolliug carriage." "I Jut, my dear sir," I protested, "I asi not Interested in crematories." "I nm," ho replied decisively. "I nm About to test my Invention, nnd I need flu assistant ua well ns a subject. I nm going to experiment upoy yon You will have the advantage over u dead subject of being able to tell me exactly wherein ray device fulls, wherein it It wiccofisful." "I? How could I tell you, being in clneratsd;" "Come, mount to tho carriage." lie drew a revolver and hold it to my tem ple. Trombllng, I mountod tho carriage nnd lay flat on my back. Then there was a creak of rollers, and 1 moved forward nnd heard tho clang of the furnace door. Whether or not I lost consciousness I do not know. At any rate, thero was a blank. Then I heard the voice ot tho operator outflldo ask If I bud any suggestions to make. I replied ihnt I would most respectfully suggest that he open tho door and let mo out. "Not until you have lourned from ex perience the defects of my ovou," be said. ' :tOkJjtJMtct!t.l.t0UL. - "It s tho high degree of bent that I wish j'ou to repprt on especially." "It Is seven jluiea hotter than the llery furnace Into which King Ncbu clmdnerznr thrust the prophet Daniel!" I exclaimed.' "Excellent! I lmvo not yet turned the heat on. If It Is hot now, what will It be when In operation? Now I will make tho connection." "Hold on!" I cried. "1 have noticed n defect in the brickwork. If you turn on the heat, the oven will crack open " "That's r,ucer." he wild. "I made that brickwork myself. It's all right. You're, mistaken. Watch everything Carefully so that you can give me a perfect account of all points to he tested." -.1 heard a click, aud very scon the place began to warm up. Then It be gan to get hot. 1 yelled to my tor mentor to let me out. Then well, then my wife shook me. "Stop that hallooing! Do you want to wake tho baby?" "What confounded strance things dreams arc!" I muttered. "I'gh! I'm nil in n tremor and my heart is beat ing a reveille." It was a long while before 1 got quieted down, nnd ns for sleep-up more of thnt till the next night. ANSEL LUI'TON. A Cunlrnctnr. "What dots your father do?" asked the teacher of the new boy. "lie's a contractor." was tho reply. "A i all way contractor?" "No. ma'am; it sausage contractor, lie tic up the cuds after another mnn has tilled them." SllttRc n .Milk Pond. Tho sll Is gaining friends every year, and it will not be many years until ev ery progressive dairyman will put ids corn crop Iu a silo and thus get tho best possible results from It.says Hairy and Creamery. Corn Is the cheapest feed that can be grown In tills eouutry and iu the shape uf ullage is the best food for dairy cows. Mr. I). M. Me I'herson, Lancaster, Canada, keeps seventy cows on l'J."3 acres of laud, and these cows average 7,000 pounds of mill: a year, and this great yield Is mado on silage. Experiments have proved tp Mr. Mel'hcrsoti that corn fodder Is net as valuable ns com M lage. The difference In hNhcril nmountu to "00 ound.s of milk n day. In speak ing of his system of keeping cows Mr. McPhersou says: "Actunl experiments have proved that for every thousand pounds weight of a live animal twenty-six pounds of food daily nre required In n properly balanced ration. That will give enough as a heat producer and tlesh former for either beef or milk. How can that food be supplied at least cost? It Is quite possible for every farmer to havo each cow give r,000 pounds of milk a tendon at a cost of only 50 to CO cents per hundred pounds. I have reduced the cost of producing milk to -10 cents per hundred. Farmers are losing dally what, If properly applied, means wealth to them, nnd increase in wealth, if properly used. Is increased happiness. The balanced ration that is costing you 21 cents a day per cow can bo had for 0 centH by studying out tho require incuts' of your cows and by loading them both ways. Our railways ami Ptenmshlps aro on that principle. I claim that cows should give 0,000 pounds of milk per season. I feed meal every month of tho year to my cows because it reduces tho coat to. keep aud lucreases production." Metric Tvrnln'n I.ntaat Maxima, Mark Twain lias added two now maxims to tho world's already valua ble collection, says Harper's Literary Gossip. They aro ns follows: "Wo ought never to do wrong when people are looking" and "No real gentleman will tell tho naked truth In tho pres ence of ladles." These nuggets of wis dom appear In his now novelette, "A Double Marroled Detectlvo fitory," which Is completed In tho February number of Harper's Magazine. The London Academy Is so pleased with these new witticisms that it Is moved o suggest the publication of a "Mark Twain's Own Iiook of Maxims," which aught 'irtnlnly to be illuminating us a practical guide to conduct.
