Hans Christian Anderson.

Hans Christian Andersen, the great
Danish poet and fiction writer, was the
son OF a poor shoemaker of Odense,
little town on the island of Funen,
Denmark His birthday was April 2,
1906. Hans parents were SO poor that
they were unable to send him to school
very much, and as he was sensitive
shy child he had few associates of his
own age. In some way the boy learn
ed to read and, obtaining Danish trans
lations of La Fontaine's fables, The
Arabian Nights" and Shakespeare's
poems, was much influenced by them.
His father dying when he was only
years old and the poverty of the family
becoming greater than before. he went
in 1919 to Copenhagen in order to OBJ
tain employment in the theatre. He
had just SIS in his pocket. He was
lean, homely boy, not at all attractive,
in appearance, and all his efforts to
get employment from theatrical man
ayers failed. Finally he succeeded in
making friends, who obtained for Tim
from the king a scholarship that ena-
bled him to enter the university. He
had already published in periodicals mis-
cellaneous prose in verse when in 1890
he issued a book of poems. Shortly
after this he Travelled in Germany,
France and Italy. A romance, The
improvisation. a story of Italy, was
printed in 1884. only a Fiddler"
1.-The Poets Bazaar "Ahaseurus,
drama, and The Two Baronnesses"
preceded the publication of his collec-
ton of Wonder rales,'' work that
has made his name beloved by the chill
dren of every land. In 1863, honored
as the greatest writer of Denmark and
happily in receipt of an ample income
from his works, he celebrated his liter
ary iubilees. In 1872 he met with
painful accident at Innsbruck and so
great was the sorrow over his illness
that the children of the United States
collected money to send to him, under
the mistaken impression that he was IN
want. Andersen purchased with it
books for his library. His death &C.
Cured at Copenhagen, August l. 1910.

The sneexewood Tree.

The sneezewood tree is one OF the
many curious products of South Africa.
1t is SO named because one cannot cut
it with saw without sneezing, as the
fine dust has exactly the effect OF snuH.
II is very bitter to the taste, and no
insect, worm or barnacle will touen y.
The color is light brown. the grain very
close and hard. It is nice LOOKING

When placed in water, sneezewood
