Jormungand, with a terrible wound in
his head, sunk again to his bed, to
await the last day.
Then, carrying boat and oars and all
on his shoulders, Thor strobe home fol-
lowed by Hymir, more angered than
ever at his enforced trudge through The
sea, and the sight of his ruined boat.
Besides, he grew more and more jeal-
Gus and envious at sight OF the gods
power, and when they reached home
he began to taunt Thor.
''rhor, you may think yourself a
good rover and a good fisher, though
you have caught nothing this day, but
let me see if you can break this drink
ing cup.n
Without a word Thor threw the cup
upon a rock.
The cup was not broken, but the
rock was crushed to powder. Again
he threw it against pillar, and again
the cup remained whole, while the
cavern trembled as the pillar fell, split
in two.
Thor eazed in wonder, and in the
silence following ne heard the woman
softly chanting snatches Of sagas and
runes as she sat behind him spinning.
Suddenly ne heard these words:
Hard the pillar, hard the stone,
Harder yet the giants bone.
Stones shall break AMI pillars fail;
Hymir's forehead breaks them all.
A light flashed into his eyes. Grasp
ing the cup once more, he hurled it at
the forehead of the giant, from which
it fell shattered into atoms, but Hymir
was unhnrt.
With loud laugh the host cried:
"Well done, well done, Thor! But
now, think you that you can carry that
Mile-deep kettle out of this hall?''
This was just what Thor wanted.
Tyr tried to raise it, but could not even
lift the handle. Bending down, Thor
grasped it at the rim. His feet sunk
through the floor in the effort, but he
raised the kettle to his head and turn
ed from the hall, followed by Tyr.
On, on they journeyed, when Thor
suddenly looked back. There he saw
pursuing him great host of many
headed giants, led by Hymir.
"Treacheryw cried the god, and
throwing his hammer thrice amongst
them, he destroyed them all.
There they remain to this day, petri-
fled along the shore; some standing;
some STOPPING; some crouching. Peep
ing from every cavern, poising on every
crag, runningon every rock, they may
be seen; all pointing and grinning in
malice, as they were in that last mo-
ment.
And so through the ages they stand,
telling the wonderful story of ThOr's
might and of their fate.
"Come, pass round the foaming
mead" cried Aegir, and this time as
Mile-deep went around there was
enough of the precious for all the as
sembled gods.

Trouble to Himself.

"When I was down in the Tennessee
mountains doing my turn in that peeu-
liar and primitive seetion," observed
the special pension agent, 81 had at
various times such glimpses Of life as

rious capital never get. 1 remember
one June morning l arose from my
simple bed of clapboards on the loft
floor of log cabin and proceeded
down ladder to the earth, thence 100
yards down to the creek, where | was

tutinaI ablutions, as the stream was big
enough to run q sa Emill with.
'As I splashed my face in the clear
water, and spluttered over it after the
usual fashion of a man who likes to
wash his face, was joined by 10
year-old son of the family with which
was stopping. He stood on the shore
watching me with much interest, which
am glad to say l returned with zest,
for he was a picture boy. He was
sandy and freckIed and didn't look as
il he had a bath in the memory of
msu. His clothes were simple enough,
consisting of cotton shirt and a made
over pair of papa's pantaloOns, and
there was no hat to hide head of hair
which 1 sm positive never felt the pen
etrating and persuading influence Of a
comb. He was too much interested in
the mysteries of my toilet TO say any
thing until l took out pocket comb
aud began to Use it on my tangled
locks. After tag or two at it, looking
at him meanwhile, he spoke:
"'Say mister he said, curiously,
have yer got to do that there?'
"'DO what there?' | smiled in reply.
"'That there that yer doin'.'
"'YoU lean combing my hair?
"'Yes.'

This beautiful owl makes its nest in
the far north, and in winter visits the
United States. Arctic explorers have
found il Is far north as they have ever
reached They tell US that il resis on
thu ground or on messy rock, for,
while most owls nest ina trees, there are
no trees ia these far northern regions
even the shrubs are stUnted
They do not build nest, or, at most.
only gather together few leaves and
feathers. The eggs are eight or ten in
number, about two and a halffncheS in
length, and nearly two inches in the
sTualler diameter, and like all owls eggs,
they are of a dirty white.
The young birds are at first downy
and brownish-gray in color. 1t IS not
till after they have left the nest that
they are white, marked with brown,
like the old birds.
The snowy owl hunts It's pEey by day.
Rabbits or hares, grouse and ptarmigan
are pOunced upon and eaten, and also
small quadrupeds like mice and
Jennings, which abound in the Arctic
regions. 1t also catches fish, watching
silently by the streams till fish comes
near the surface, when the owl seizes it
in its strong claws.
The snowy owl IS about two feet in
length from bill to tip Of tail, and its
wings when extended measure nearly
i've feet from tip to tip. Most speci-
mems are white, marked with brown ;
but rarely is one seen pure white. The
piumage is extremely thick and warm,
even the feet are clad in feathers L the
tips Of the claws.
NJ ost writers that have been to the
Arctic regions say nothing about the
voice of this owl, 50 we might infer that
they had never heard it hoot as other
owls do; tan explorer Of the last cen
tury describes It's cry As very unpleas-

The roof wears out, unless kept paint
ed, faster than will any other part of a
wooden building. 1t pays better TO keep
the roof painted than it does the sides,
and it will also need to be painted Of
tener. When shingles are used from
clear straight-grained wood and kept
always painted they will last a very
long time. 0Ie Of the advantages Of
painting roofs is to keep water rom the
nails whose rusting soon rots the wood
where they are driven.
