Ho may be as gcxtlo cs a slumbering babe ia its cradle, bo may bewitch all living things with the tones of his lyre, or ho may burst with the might of an all powerful giant upon tho world of naeu. That was a mischievous prank ho played iu days of yore on a boy in Norselond and whom wo'will call Olaf. Pay hood and yon shall learn about it Olaf was tho only son of a widow, and sho was both feeble and poor. She had tanRht tho boy to wait oa her, and this made him kind and thonghttuL Ono day sho sent him for some float to tho storehouse. This was a frame building, raised from tho gronnd on wooden props, and had to be reached by a flight of stairs, Olaf ran lightly up tho rteps, got tho flour and was turn ing to ho-stcu down again when North Wind camo puffing and panting that way, canght yptho flour and boro it off through the air. Olaf went back for more finnr, but the moment ho .sit foot oa the stairs North Wind raorted and sniffed alxrat him. and. pips! awy went the flour. If yon'll believo me, the tame thing hap pened a third time, and now Olaf was positively angry, for it seemed quite too provoking that North Wind ehmld act in frni-h a senseless fashion. So Olaf made np his mind that he wtfnld go in seart h of tho thief and demand back tho Hour. Ho set out at once, but ho walked many a long, weary milo More he camo at las to North Wind's home. North Wind had quieted down and was in a most gracious mood when Olaf presented himxclf before him. "Good day," said Olaf. "I hope you aro well. Mr. North Wind." " The same to yourself, my boy, said North Wind, and bis voice was gruff, bnt not nr-kind. "What brings you here, if I tuny atk?" I"vo come," said Olaf, "to see if yon '11 bo so kind as to gi vo mo lack the flour yon took from me cm the store house stairs. Mother and I are poor, and if wo los? tha litilo wc have we'll starve to dexth." "I haven't your flour," ssid North Wind, "but since you "ro . so badly off here's a tablecloth for yon. It will sup ply you with all you want to eat and drink if yon but say, 'Aly cloth, spread yourself and serve up all sorts of good things. ' " T hunting North Wind with all his heart. Olaf took tho cloth and started for home. As the way was so long, he couldn't hope to get back to bis mother that night, so ho stopped at a wayside inn to rest until morning. When tho peoplo at tho inn began to prepare the evening meal, Olaf thought he wonld surprise them. So he threw his cloth on a table in the corner, say ing: "My cloth, spread yourself and serve up all sorts of good things." Scarcely had ho spoken before the cloth-did aa it wus bid, and every one in the room was filled with wonder. There was no ono better pleased than the landlady, for she thought how much hard work and trouble it wonld save her if she had such a cloth. Sho spoke with her husband about it, and in the middle of the night he stolo into Olaf "s chamber and changed tho cloth for one his wifo had given him that looked like it. When Olaf woke the next morning, rested and refreshed, he set out at once for home, taking with him the wrong cloth. Ho got there safely the same day and ran to his mother, erring: "Well, I've been to see North Wind, and he's not so bad, after all. Here 13 a tablecloth bo gave me, and it in of the kind that if I just say the word it will furnish us with all we need to eat and drink." "I'll have to sco that with my own eyes before I can believe it," said his mother. '. .-- ' Olaf laid the cloth on a table, and with the air of one who knew what he was about said : "My cloth, spread yourself and aerrv np all sorts of good things." But never so much as a crumb of dry bread did tho cloth serve. "There's no help for it," said Olaf. "I'll have to go back to North Wind and ask him the meaning of this." Away he went so tast that he reached North Wind's home that same after noon. "Good evening, Mr. North Wind," aid Olaf.., ... . , - " OooC rvptdng, my boy," said North WitrtJ. What now?" -- "I want my rights for the flour you took. That tableloth is good for noth ing." "Well, here is a ram." said North Wind, "that will turnish you with all the gold coins you want. All you hare to do is to say, Sly ram, make money. ' Olaf thought this was pretty nice, and be went off feeling well content. If be bad gone straight home, be would have had no further trouble, but feel ing tired he stopped at the wayside inn to rest for the night. Before be gave bit orders be thought he would try his ram. and sure enough be sood bad a handful of pure gold coins. The landlord saw Una and thongLt he would like to awn so valuable a Whoa Olaf wasaat asleep, hsr lata ne boy'a and left it there in tho place of the one ho coveted. "North Wind is a pretty good fel low," said Olaf when he got home to his mother. "Here's a ram he has giv en me that will make all the money we want if I bnt say tho word." "It will tako a great deal to make me believe each stuff," exclaimed Olaf 'a mother. "My ram, make money," cried Olaf promptly, but never a coin did the ram bring forth. "I knew it was oil nonsense," wailed tho widow, and that was all the com fort Olaf got. Without another word he sped back to North Wind and told him tho ram had proved absolutely worthless. He had como now to demand his rights, he said. "Upon my word, you're a plucky lad," exclaimed North Wind. "Well, the best I can do for you now is to give you the stick in yonder corner. It may be of some use to you. If you say, "My stick, do your duty,' it will go on strik ing until you say, My stick, be still." With many thanks Olaf started for home. As he passed tho inn where he had lost his treasures, he thought it might not be a bad thing to stop there once more. So he went in, threw him self down ou a bench and was soon snoring loudly. The landlord quickly spied tho magic stick, and taking it for granted it might bo worth as much to him as the cloth and ram ho had taken from tho same guest he found another stick that looked like it to leave in its place. But as be laid hands oa North Wind's gift Olaf, who was only pretending to be asleep, Ftarted rp, crying : " My stick, do your rtnty." Then the slick fell to besting the landlord, who tumbled headlong over benches and tables, shrieking and screaming: "For mercy 'a 6ke, bid this stick be still, or it will beat me to death. iStop it for pity's sake stop it, and I'll give you back your tablecloth and your ram." As soon as Olaf thought mine host had been well punished he said quietly : "My slick, be still." At once tho magic stick ceased from its labors, and the landlord restored the stolen goods to their rightful owner. Olaf put the tablecloth and the stick in his pocket, and fastening a cord to tho ram's horns led it home in triumph. North Wind bad I'jiW handsomely for tho flour, and the widow aud her son lived in penco and plenty all their days. Auber Forrestier in Philadel phia Press. A Scnr Uuildlng Material. A new kind of building material as a proposed substitute for ordinary stone or brick is now receiving special in dorsement on account of its freedom, under various and repeated tests, from the usual liability to crack or fracture. To insuro this property, with the other essential adaptations, silicic acid is nsod, powdered aad Cleansed fzom all impurities. Five to ten per cent of this is mixed in warm river or rainwater, and this is applied to slaked or Well burned lime, or added to hydraulic lime, the resulting product being mixed with sand and small portions of fluorspar. This mixture is cast into molds, in various shapes as may be desired, and after removal tho castings are left to dry from 13 to 24 hours, which brings thorn to a condition as dry as atmos pheric air. In this state they are brought into a steam boiler and steam blown through so as to drive out all air, after which the boiler is hermetically scaled np and steam let in under a pressure of 10 atmospheres. In this high pres sure steam bath tho stones remain for 4S to 72 hours, afterward being submit ted to a bnth of boiling and saturated chloride of calcium for 0 to 13 hours, also under a pressure of about iS at mospheres, in the same boiler, and the condensed water may lie used for the bath. The stones are allowed to dry in the open nir, or, more quickly, by circulating steam inside the boiler after tho chloride of calcium has been with drawn and prior to taking ont the stones. New York Sun. The Coldest Cold. The science of chemistry, like that of geography, has its undiscovered north pole. Four hundred and sixty-one de grees below the freezing point of the Fahrenheit thermometer ( 274 degree C.) lies a mysterious, specially indi cated degree of cold which science has long been gazing toward and striving to uttnin, wondering meanwhile what may be the conditions of matter at this unexplored point. Its existence has long lieen indicated and its position es tablished in two different ways viz, tho regularly diminishing volume of gescs and the steady falling off of the resistance made by pure metals to tho passage through them of electricity un der increasing degrees of cold. This point, to which both these proc esses tend as an ultimate, is called the xcro of absolute temperature. By more than one eminent observer it is supposed to be the temperature of interstellar space, the normal temperature of the universe. Whether or not this suppo sition be correct tho efforts which havo been made and are still in progress to reach this degreeof cold have been many, diverse and ingenious, the equipment of the explorer being not boats, condensed foods and the genet al cachir.cry of ice exploration, but all the varied resources of mechanics and of chemistry which can be combined to compass the ex tremest degree of cold.

Boston Transcript - Did the Qaera Unowf Newspapers here recently announced with a great display of type that the queen had been graciously pleased to present many bottles cf v;ne to various London hospitals for the ukc of poor pa tients. Tho same papers have carefully refrained from giving currency to there- pott published in reputable provincial journals to the effect that most of the wine in question was the refuse of the royal cellars and unfit for use in hospi tals. It was in very bad condition. Many of tho Im'ttles were half empty, and others Wfre so badly corked that the contents had turned sour. It is charita bly suggested that her frngr.l majesty was ignorant of these defects. Kew York Sun's London Letter; ' " " vhrat Production.
