green, and some were hundred feet high. It kept growing colder and colder, and poor Tommy shivered very much. Meanwhile the giant was getting very angry, and at last he broke out into a roar" Where's that chocolate cream ?" Then Tommy knew that all these ice bergs were made of ice-cream, and it seemed so funny that he could not help laughing, though the giants anger frightened him. At that the giant was still more vexed, and said that Tommy shouldn't have any ice-cream at dinner.
 But the list of places where they went is getting too long. There was sugar barn, where they got sugar for the giants coffee, where there were great blns of brown sugar with wooden shovels in them, and great bins of white sugar with silver shovels in them--sugar, sugar, every whers. There were big cribs of macaroni the places where they kept the pepper were shaped like big pepper cruets, and were half as high as the sugar barn; there were bonbon bushes, on which the candy grew in beautiful little boxes, each, one tied up with pretty ribbon there were bushes filled with nuts, each bunch of different kind, and on each bunch there grew little nut cracker. There was 8 knife and fork tree too, that bora knives and forks of all kinds and sizes; and there was 8 spoon bush, so full that when the wind swayed it all the espoons tinkled together. Whenever the giant needed Q new knife or spoon, you see, he only had to pick one. There were plants whose cup-hke flowers were filled with strawberry jam i; there were garden patches of all kinds of pc, and big tapk of apple sauce i; there were gum-drop vines whole fields full of bread growing on stalka, and half a dozen little orchards of different kinds of cake, and great many other things about which there is no space to tell you. At last they sat down to dinner the giant sat on chair, and Tommy sat on thick piece of bread on the table. He watched the dinner all through, and made up his mind that the Jersey Giant was greedy old fellow. Tommy won- dered whether other people ate as much 1Rproportion to their size. But he wasn t frightened until a big bowl was put upon the table; when he got up and looked over the rim, what do you suppose he saw Why, water-melons bobbing around in the milk like huckleberries in your bowl of milk When the giant lifted up spoon that had two or three water-mel- ons in it., and opened his mouth.
 Tommy never knew what followed, but suddenly he found himself sitting in the sand on the beach just where he was before he started. He picked up his shovel and little pail, and set out as fast as his little legs would carry him for the hotel. When he had told his mother all about it she looked rather grave, and, to Tommy's astonlshment, asked hlm what he ate for dinner. About the same as he always had, he said, and this was about the same as he always had he had had two plates of soup and two pieces of fish he had had roast beef and roast lamb, rLast duck and roast chicken ; he had had potatoes, tomatoes, turnips, parsnips, corn, cucumbers, pickles, and chowchow. It was 8 terrible list, for this wasn't half of it. Tommy didn't think, of course, for, after he had answered all his mothers questions, he said that he would have eaten heartier dinner if he had been really hungry. Mrs. Bento had to find out all these things from Tommy himself, because the rules of the hotel did not allow children to eat their meals at the same time with the grown-up people, and he therefore took his at unreasonable hours, with servants for company. Mrs. Bento insisted or changing all this, and Tommy dined after that with his mother. And now and then she would say at dinner, "Take care, Tommy, or you'll see the Jersey Giant"
 Tommy can't understand how that car be, for he feels sure the Jersey Giant Ii real man and not bad dream. But his mother always smiles when he tells hel that he knows just where the Jersey 1 Giant ives.-Bazar.
