In these latter days, when every subject has been covered, classified and consummated, it is hardly possible to imagine the condition of literary science ten centuries ago. There was then complete originality Jof thought and word, and a reader Jmig'ht spend his life in vainly seeking jfor exhaustive literature upon any Instead of the publishing of jsubject. 'a book being an exceptional event, as now, it is said that one or even two new books each week was not uncom". mon. , But to .return to my narrative I am a clerk in the Bureau of Carpet Tacks Department of House Furnishing, of D continent (formerly North America). Although my labor is credited to Guthrie (the governmental center of D continent) I prefer to reside on O continent (formerly Africa) by reason of its superior climatic advantages, as well as the greater selectness of its single tax areas. I have the reputat tion of and industrious, and although it. takes me nine minutes to reach my office from my home via the electric flash system of governmental transit, yet I am as regular in my hours of attendance as those living within a few hundred miles.

If a Japan ; , ' ese farmer should introduce a moderr reaper and self binder upon his farm hi r would cut down everything in the was of cropi while he was turning it around and there wouldn't be anything: left foi him and his family to do all the rest oi ;':'! the season. Every variety of agriculture is carried on in a mannar similar to that I havt described, and- the soil is in constanl use Ai couple of acres is considered a large tract of land for farming pur: poses Most of the farms are of smallei area, and the crops are greatly divers! rfied. Upon such a little spot of lan! will be.grown almost everything knowi to the vegetable kingdom; a few square feet of; wheat, barley, 'corn and millet a plat of b&ins perhaps ten feet wide bj twenty feet long, an equal amount ol potatoes and peas, then a patch of on 'ions as! big as a grave, beets, lettuce, sal slfy, turnips, sweet potatoes, vegetable oysters, and other varieties of cereals and roots occupy the rest of the area. The farmer looks upon his growing . srop every morning, just as an engineei will inspect the movements of : his ma-chinery, and If anything is wrong re pairs it If a weed appears in the bean patch tie pulls it up; if a hill of potatoes or anything else fails it Is Immediately replanted. And when he cuts down s tree heialways plants another to take its place. jThe artificial forests of Japan cover many; hundreds of. square miles, and by this accuracy, economy and care the prospertiy of the country is perma-1, u ently assured. As one crop is harvested the soil is worked over, fertilized and ; (replanted With something else,; The largest area of agricultural; lands In Japan is devoted to raising rice, pers of the haps as much as as that crop requires a greal whole, and, deal of water, the paddys are banked up Into terraces, one above the other, and divided off into little plats twenty-fivf- i ior thirty feet square, with ridges ol earth between them to keep the watei from flowing away when .they art flooded.

After the strangs meal was over, Gladys' father loft us, and 1 engaged the maiden in conversation by asking her opinion as to the proposed changing of the earth's orbit for the purpose of rendering the seasons more equal. "I regret to say that I know nothing about the subject on which you talk," jshe answered. Although somewhat astounded, I to persevere, and finally hit upon the theme that usually interests the feminine element. "Whom have you selected as candidates forj your hand in marriage?" I asked. To my surprise her face turned as red as a rose, and for a few moments I was fearful that she wai having an apopletic stroke. But before I could say or do anything to assist her she hastily rose from her chair " and left the room. Although extremely perplexed by this unwomanly behavior, the sweet charm of the maiden caused her image to dWell in my thoughts in a very. surprising manner. She was entirely dissimilar to all the women of my acquaintance. Aside from the wearing of such strange drapery her; voice was low and even, instead of having the usual womanly harshness, and her gliding walk and composed manner bore no resemblance to the manners of the brusque,! excitable women who lead the van of advanced thought in our world councils. To my extreme gratification, Gladys and her father returned together to the room, and the former took up a violin and bow and commenced playing. Although her music was simply nocturnes and rapid fingering, it was rendered in a sprightly manner, and would have been extremely pleasing to me if it were not for the fact of its harmony.; After she had laid the instrument aside I took it up and played the G chord, with which I have delighted many critical audiences. My exquisite: art, in playing th same chord fori over an hour, and giving all the distinctive phrases of expression and modulation,' was not seemingly appreciated by her father, for in a very few minutes he yelled to me that if I couldn't play: any other note than that I had better stop, and interlarded his words with some strange interjections that were utterly incompre' ; - de-termin- ed ' v i I hensible to me. When I ventured to ask his reasons for returning to barbarism in eating and dressing, he turned on me fiercely and said "Young man, I'm tired of being a machine. The government tells me just what I can and am to do, and bow; to do, it. My food Is always, sure and no one can be any nicer than another, no one can work more than another, and as for employment that is all cut and dried beforehand. Without ambition man is contemptable,and no man can appreciate food that never has to worry about where he is going to get the next meal. I'm a Radical I believe the good old days were the best, and I'm working as a missionary to endeavor to. get the people to vote them back again." I, stupefied by this madAstou man's vL ugs, I retired to my bed-- but not to sleep. This benighted famnot use the water mattresses, did ily which yielding to the slightest movement, allow every muscle to relax and sleep so I tossed the livelong on a crude feather arrangement;night and vowed that I would return home at once and give notice of this dangerous conspiracy to the world. . i" ne-grc- es N:i i rui;.

About a ipear asro Mr. Frazer was taken with serious stomach troubles. He bought several kinds of medicine which were recommended to him, but none of them seemed to give him even temporary benefit. An enthusiastic admirer of that famous remedy known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale was People told- him to try them. Frazer almost discouraged, but took the advice. To a reporter for the Enquirer he said : "I can most heartily recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are all that is laimedfor them, in! fact they advertise themselves better than any medicine I ever saw. I was seized some time ago with a bad attack of: Indigestion. My stomach hurt me I could not digest aearly all the time and was almost unbearable The my food, pain and I found nothing that would give me reliefs I; confess that when I bought thefirst box of Pink Pills I hadn't much confidence in their efficacy because I had tried so things without success that I was al'many most discouraged Before I had taken one box 1 was decidedly better. Two boxes cured me entirely. While I have been under the weather from other causes my indigestion has never returned. If it ever should .1 know just what to do. I have so much confidence in the efficacy of Pink Pills that if I ever get real sick again with any disorder I shall use some of them. It i3 a pleasure for me, I assure you, to testify to the excellent qualities of these Pink Pills. They 'tiot only tone the stomach but regulate the bowels 'and act ast as a mild cathartic." Mr. Frazer's testimonial means some- thing. He speaks from personal experi-'nc- e and; any one who doubts that he the benefits stated can easily verify the assertion: by calling on Mr. Frazer or car. seeing him some time while he is on his Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness: to the blood and restore shattered aerves.
