II was past midnight. Mrs. Bascomb
was reading very interesting novel,
She was surprised when the clock struck
the half hour, and laid her book down.
Not that she felt sleepy, but she had just
determined that she would sleep down
stairs in the new folding-bed in the back
narlor. There were portieres between
the rooms, but these were drawn BACK
and hung limp on either side.
The "bcd" was large handsome book

she took out of the pocket of her dress,

one. or the short, homely one" she SAID
to herself, and, going out into the par
lor, picked up the book again, aud was
soon deep in the plot.
A noise reused her. She looked at the
folding doors leading into the hall
They we're locked, she knew. Then she
turned her eyes toward the back parlor
"It's the new folding bed getting
used to being opeu," she thought, con
scious of slight exhilaration in the re-
zion of her heart. Then she glanced a
y mirror. in which she saw the full
length figure of man standing back o
the pOrtieres.
I have heard it said, or read some
where, that every man is ready to pro

Cremating Garbage.

The consumption of garbage Oy
cremation has been begun in quite
number of places in this country, and the
one which is an object lesson to our
other cities in Massachusetts, and New
England is the double-ire system now ID
use in Lowell aud in other parts OF the
country. The crematory is a brick
structure, forty feet long, ten feet wide
and twelve feet high, with stack
seventy-tive feet in height. The top OF
the furnace is reached by platform, and
the garbage is collected in carts and
dumped down the slopes into the feed
holes in the top of. the furnace. After
the furnace has been charged two fires
are lighted. The flames pass from the
first fire to the garbage piled on the
crates and the gases and smoke attend
ing the combustion then pass to the
second fire, where shey are consumed
All the products of the burning OF the
garbage must pass through one of these
fires. We have not room tor detailing
how this system is managed, but the re-
suits are such that it works successfully
wherever it has been tried, and its adop'
ton IN many of our large cities is appar'
emily only question of time.-Boston

Oregon Has a Rabbit Pest.

A Westerner, speaking of the number
of rabbits in Oregon, used a somewhat
startling phrase to emphasize the fact
that the State is overrun with the pests.
He SAID in the most serious way posi-
Bile "There are enough rabbit tails in
an Oregon wheat field to patch Texas a
mile in its raggedest place" This IS
supposed to be the language of the soil,
the decadence of which causes the high
literary critic to mourn. The quotation
is literal with the exception OF one
word. He didn't say Texas. New

SOMETIME. SOMEWHERE

Ns,er tell us that all the endeavor
We make shall bring fruitage never;
That there's no such place as heaven,
That sinners cannot be forgiven,
That sin, like the wound on the tinger'
May heal, but the scar will yet linger'
Nor vanish through years or tears.
The answer speaks never to doubt US,
Endeavor reaps harvests about us;
While happiness comes to the masses
And fire may restore wilted grasses,
When wrong to the stubble fields righted
It blooms as it neer had been blighted,
