and without bolting myself in, and I never

elated.
My terror originated last year in a
gular fashion. It was on one damp night
in autumn. When my servant had lefb
after dinner, I aaked myaelf whab I should
do. I walked up and down my room for
awhile. I felt weary, dejeoted withdat
cause, unable to work or eveip to read. A

was sad, overpowered by one of those fita

I felt deserted. My rooms aeemed to me
empty and °haulm as they never had
steepled before. An infinibe and heartrend-
ing eelitude surrounded me. Whet should
I die ? I sat down. Then a nervous im-
patience took poeseseion of nee. I got up
again and began to wander about aimlessly.
Perhaps I was °lightly feverish, for my
hands, which I had held clapped behind my
book as one often does when walking
elowly, were burning, and I noticed it Ms
the time. Then all at once a ohill ran down
my baok. I thought that the dampness

With a. rapid movement I lit a match. I
had been mistaken. I saw nothing at all.
I got up, however, and hid the chair be-
hind the bed.
Theni made all dark again and tried to
sleep. I had nob lost consciousness five
minutes before, in a dream, I sew as vividly
as in reality alItho scenes ot the evening.
I awoke frem the fright, and having lighted
the 'needle I reineined embed in bed, nob
daring to go bo steep again. Twioe, how-
ever, slumber overtook me despite myself
for a few • seconds. Each time I saw
the thing win. I thought I had gone
mad.
When day dawned, I felt cured and slept
quietly till noon.
It was all over—all ever. I had had
a touch of fever, the nightmare—what
you •will. In shorn I had been ill. I
thought myaelf nevertheless extremely
foolish.
I was very gay that day. I dined at a
restaurant, I went to the play, and then I
started to return he my rooms. Bab as I
approached the house a strange inquietude
seized me. I was afraid of seeing it again.
Nob afraid of it—not afraid of its presence,
in which I did not at all believe. I was
afraid ef mere trouble with my eyes, afraid
of the halluoination, afraid • of the terror
which would overpower me. •
Fer more than an hour I strayed about
the streaks; then, at last, I felt so much
ashamed than I entered the house. I was
gauping for breath so that I could scarcely
ascend the stain. I remained for bee min-
utes' on the mat before my aparbments ;
then suddenly I had an. access of courage,
an increase of will power. I unlocked the
doer; I rushed in, candle in hand ; I kicked
open bhe half ajar inner door of my room,
and I mot a frightened glance toward the
fireplace. I saw nothing, ah I

the even temperature required, a clever
electrical apparatus hoe been invented. A
vorticel metal tube, thoroughly packed by
Relocates to prevent its being affected by the

curient, which is governed by a rheostat
to regulate the temperature. An open-

arrangement, the oil is fed to the bet% on
both aides ot the moving ribbon ef steel at

the wire to a uniform chilling temperature.
The metal passes through the heating
tube into the chilling betel without exposure
to the air, the intervening space between
the tabe and Ike °billing medium being
covered by a second bube with an air -bight
connectieu, which forme a muffle. In thin
way there is secured a ribbon of steel
without cracks on its edgea or scales on

and of uniform temper. As the wire is
heated by radiation and has no opportunity
to become oxydized, "pitting" Is
altogether prevented. Experts speak
highly of this new process, and it would

A. Metal That Hardens Steen,
The reason why the mixture of tungsten
wide oteel gives the latter so great a degree
of hardness that ib readily soratehes glass
and quartz memo to be revealed by a dis-
covery recently made in 'Germany. A
definitely crystalized compound of iron and
tungsten has been discovered, the orystale
being so hard as to swatch topaz.
Tungsten es a brittle white metal almost
so heavy as gold. The orystab3 formed by
its comblaetion with iron, in the proportion
of one atone of iron to two of tungeten, are
silver-gray and very brillianb.
Ib is thought that when tungsben is
alloyed with steal some of the compound
just deaoribed is formed in the mass, there-
by producing the remarkable inarease in the
hardness of the steel.

teaches us that the number of people who can count
correctly is small. It als6 teaches us that it pays
to be honest, and carry out all promises to the very
letter, whether made through an advertisement or
business communication, or by word of mouth.
Dishonest firms who made big promises, but
carried none of them into effect, have been crowded
to the wall, and forced out of business. We are
here to stay, and do an honest legitimate trade.
To test the counting ability of our customers and
prove that we do exactly as we promise, we present
the above Maltese cross, and ask our friends to
count the dots. With it we make the followinz
bona fide offer:
