THE BABY'S SNEEZE.

1hunders may rattle at midnight
Like muskets of hostile foe,
Or moan down the distant valley
AS the clouds retFeating go.
Billiards may shrek in the cedars,
And gnaw at their steadfast roots;
Alarm bells clang through the silence
In time with the horn that toots.
Every force that is potent
And vocal with cumhrous sound,
May seek to rally the sleeper
Who dreams on enchanted ground.
Yet an must yield to a rival,
And giants go down on their knees;
The force that marches as victor
Is only baby's sneezei

the oak with terrific force. 1t seemed to
satisfy his anger. because he imagined
every time the ak hit the tree he was
hurting the little goblin. In few mo-
ments the roots of the tree lay bare, and
behold! what did Nick find? At the very
base Of the oak he saw little black
ebony box. He picked it up and he no.
hced there was no lock to it.
On the top was written the two words:
"Open mer' But the words were spelled
backward, and when Nick looked at them
it read in his mind: lem nepO-' Nick
never had been very sharp in book learn
ing, and it never struck him TO try and
make some sense out of the words lem
nepO." he saw that he did not know
what it meant and he did not trouble any
more. When he went home he took the
box along with him, thinking it would
make q toy for one Of his children.
Arrived at his little cottage he found
one OF his neighbors sitting on the door
step. Nick showed him the little black
box. told him where he found it and re-
lated to him his adventure with the COB
lin The neighbor was pretty shrewd
old man. and no sooner had he looked
at the handwriting on the box when he
knew what it meant. He had read it
backward. But he never said so to Nick.
When he went home he quietly put the
box In his pocket Nick did not notice
IL He was too honest himself to suppose
any one else a thief.
When the neighbor got into his cottage
he Immediately got chisel and ham
mer and smashed the box open Inside
he found a piece of paper. which was
wrapped around a tiny little silver key.
On the paper he read these lines:
Wichita eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1886-1890, 1889-06-02
At the castle on the mount
Is a golden treasure,
Where golden rod is often found
Waiting for your measure.

The slip of paper was signed: ''The
Grateful Goblin" Nick looked at the
writing long and intently. "Wen," he
said, at last, 81 viii at once go and find
out whether that goblin has played an
other trick on me. l might as well be
fooled twice as once"
He Immediately ran toward the noun
tain, which stood not far into the forest.
Arrived there he climbed up the steep
ascent, and when he got to the walls of
the castle he walked all around until he
found the yellow golden rod growing
everywhere. Then he examined the
wall In a moment he noticed small
hole in the wall, which seemed to have
been made for his golden key. Putting
it in the hole and turning round was
done in second. Nick already beheld
the glittering mass Of shining gold before
him when the goblin appeared
$50 here you are, then" he said to
Nick; 80 you did not give the box away
this time. Why did you not keep the
other?"
Nick explained to the goblin that he
did not know what the box contained.
"Why did you not open it,"
81 don't know"
"Wen, your neighbor did, though, and
he got silver treasure. But punished
him before he was able to enjoy it, and
he is now dead in the stream. Now,
look here, Nick, you fancied that did
not mean to give you your reward as
promised"
"Weil, it looked like it, did it not?"
Looked like it has nothing to do with
it. You should have trusted me, and
have little patience However. you
are pretty good fellow, Nick, and now
here Is your treasure. Enjoy it with
your wife and children, live long and be
happy; good-by. and remember some
times the Grateful Goblin.
Nick was now alone with his treasure.
He took good lot home with him, and
he and his dear ones lived in the future
as happy as happy can be.-Giobe-Dem-

MEAN TEMPERATURE.

Thousaad Years.
The sun is the principal cause Of the
variations in the temperature Of the
atmosphere. and the amount Of heat
received depends upon the elevation Of
the sun above the horizon and the
transparency Of the atmosphere. The
air is heated in three ways. by the di-
rect rays Of the sun. by contact with
the earth and by radiation from the
earth. the first being by far the most
important as it is estimated that three
fourths of the suns rays are absorbed
by the atmosphere, and the remainder
are absorbed by the earth. The
internal heat Of the earth il. it IL true,
reckoned as a subordinate source Of
heat but It is so to such an infinitesi-
NAL degree that It is hardly worth
while to take it into account The
temperature Of any place. therefore
varies from hour to hour. according -.
in its rotation. its relative position to-
ward the sun is changed. and the rays
TALL upon it with more or less direct
ness. BY taking account Of the tenn
perature at each hour OF the day We
find the mean temperature for 'the
twenty-four hours. and 8 by continuing
this through o twelve-month We find
the mean temperature for any month,
or for the entire year. The hourly
variations are extremely regular. but
the mean temperatures OF the months,
In different years. may vary consider
ably. The mean yearly temper.
ature also Is not the same
every year for the same place. but
the difference between the warmcst
and the coolest years Is seldom over
ten degrees. It Is necessary TO take
the average Of several years to get the
true mean Of any place; in . climate -
