forever, but legend and poesy en-
throned them in the vivid imagfna-
tion Of the people, and even now the
Scandinavian child hears in the clap
OF thunder the echo of Thor's ham,
mer hurled against some mountain
fastness, and the hoOf-beats OF his
goats against the floor Of the sky in
the low, rumbling sound following
the far off lightning. In most of the
tales told at the fireside the principal
figures are draped in the gauze Of
heathendOm, worn thin by time and
patched here and there with a few
meshes OF Catholicism. Indeed,
once knew some one Of about my size
who had the whole brood Of gods at
her fingers ends before she hardly
knew anything about the babe in
Bethlehem's manger.

Child life in Scandinavia is ideal,
No one will ever know the Joys of a
Northern summer who has never
tasted the pleasure OF climbing up in
TO 4 north window with a favorite
story-book, instead Of creeping into
the Jrundle-bed at the hour Of retir-
Ing, reading through the whole night
while old Sol kindly held the candle,
just above or below the horizon, &C.
cording to locality. And what of the
long winter nights, brilliantly lighted
by the flaming aurora borealis, while
the stars hang like clusters of incan-
descent lights in the high, blue cell
ing, making the arc-light Of the full
moon almost unnecessary? It is hard
indeed to decide to which of the two
seasons belongs the palm.
The Scandinavian babies are horn
free, il not equal. After few hours,
however, parental authority and fear
Of crooked limbs and weak backbones
assert themselves, and the desce ndant
the vikings is reduced to a wadded
stick, with a little rosy face fastened
to one end, warranted not to scratch,
break, or stand in need of the fami-
liar label, Handle with care" The
limbs are carefully stretched out,
wrapped up and wound with flannel
bandages, the hands are crossed over
the breast and bandaged in the same
fashion, and the head tied on with a
kerchief to keep it from wriggling.
And there you have the cutest little
plaything imaginable, a good deal
nicer than screaming doll or fash
ionable pug. That the vocal organs
are left at liberty is vouched for by
whole households. and after few
weeks or months the little Norseman
or his sister demands freedom. The
hands are liberated first, the limbs
afterward, and by and by we see the
Northland infants fighting the air OF
sucking their little pink toes, baby
fashion, all the world over.
