The Story of the Rhine Gold.

Three gods of the Northland once came to earth in disguise to hunt on the banks of the river Rhine. One of them was Wotan, father of the gods. and another was Lol1. the god of fire.
 Loki speared an otter, and was skin ming it, when a giant, Rodmar, came up and angrily told them that they had slain. not a real otter, but his son, who had just taken an otters shape. He demanded the price of his blood-gold enough to fill the otter's skin.
 Loki went forth to search for gold He captured a rich dwarf, and took from him as ransom a golden hoard which the dwarf had stolen from the fairies of the Rhine. But the dwarf in his wrath at his loss laid curse upon whoever should possess the Rhine gold.
 Loki only laughed at his cursins. re- turned to Rodmar, and covered the ot- ter's skin with gold. He added to the gold the Turnhelm, a helmet that made Its wearer invisible, and the Magic Ring that gave wealth to its
 But the curse soon showed its magic power. Rodmars sons, Fafnir and Began. quarreled with their father and slew him. and then fought with one another for the Rhine-gold. Fafnir won 1t, and turning himself into a dragon, watched the hoard night and day.

are Devils pulpits in most of the old towns of New England, but the only preaching ever heard from them was the shouting of boys inspired by the name to pretend to speak from the pull pit of his Satanic majesty It may be remarked that the Devils Hopyard is in eastern Connecticut, which seems to indicate that he was more at home here than anywhere else in New Eng land.
 And the Four Rocks swimming hole was always crowded when dozen boys were there to dive from the bridge or it's railing. or from the cul- vert which ran beneath the railroad track and was always full of water. It is doubtful if any boy ever tried to pass through this culverts until Joey Joy saw it and recognized it as his stunt, and his dare to his companions to go through it met with no response. AS no one else Ventured, Joey ducked under and away he went. A short dis tance seems like a long one when one must hold their breath to do it, or, failing. drown. It did not take more than minute to accomplish the task, but minute breathless seems almost an hour, and it seemed much more than that when Joey's head emerged from the water with a snort that left no doubt he had with some difficulty come through safely.
 But Steve Thomas thought he could do the trick. too, and he went under and he was gone 50 long Joey Joy ran to the farther end of the culvert and ducked in the water to spy and there was Steve out of breath, fioundering in the tunnel-reaily drowning.
 Joey Joy stood up and taking a long breath went in and getting Steve by the hair he pulled him through and the boys got him up on the bank, where he laid prostratee with his head downward till the water ran out of him before he could make a sound and then it was a screech and sob. for he realized he had been nearly drowned.
 T wouldn't never gone under there if I'd known you was going to try it and get caught like this" said Joey, but I'm mighty glad I could get you out,
 Steve did not know what to say He forgot to say Thank youi" but he did say: sI'll never be such a durned fool as that again, you bett" and he never was.
 Joey Joy used to go through the water tunnel once in a while because no other boy dared to try it; but no other boy ever came near being drowned there

The good people kept staring at him. but one who had been in America said: Let be. He is what they call a jack in the new world. and works in the forests"
 At last. as the afternoon had nearly ended. he ascended little hill. Ahead of him hs saw a valley, scattered over with farmhouses. He gazed at httle stone house about half mile from where he was standing. It was sur rounded by garden and a high stone wall
 Then he sat on a boulder and wept, and again looking at the house. .he spoke to himself:
 said bitterly. ''To come home from America with ten dollars in your pocket, after so many years of labor!"
 He thought his mother and father were dead. were dead. Soon he arose and started down the hill.
 In the garden sat an old lady. She was blind, but was able to knit. She stretched out her hand to reach a beautiful rose.
 Dear roses, how little finders did love you!' she said.
 All of a sudden she heard footsteps.
 Tt is Anders' stepl" she said.
 Soon finders entered the garden and took her in his arms.
 His mother thought he had his pockets full of money She felt his coat and thought it was made of gold. He did not know she was blind. Then she told him that some people had rented the farm. But she told An ders that if he wanted to do some work he could hire some men and help them to work it properly. finders did so, and he and his mother lived happy to- their old farm. JESSIE L.

WiDE-AWAkE STORIES
The Camel,

The camel is an animal very com mon in Arabia and Asia It is called the 'landship'' and the carrier of the desert" It is six or seven feet high, and is exceedingly strong, tough and enduring of labor. Its feet are con- structed with a tough elastic sole, which prevents it from sinking Tn the sand, and on all sorts of ground it is very surefooted The Arabian camel has one hump on its back, but the Asian camel has two.
 The camel has cells to contain an extra provision of water: the supply when these are filled will last for many days while he traverses the desert. His food is coarse leaves, twigs and thistles, which he prefers to the ten- derest grass. and on which he per- forms the longest journeys. About a pound of dates, beans or barley will serve for A hours.
 The camel kneels to receive it's load, which varies from 500 to 1.200 pounds. It utters loud cries of anger and jim patience and is often stupid. Its milk has been to the Arabs an important article of food
 Out of it's hair they manufacture corn.
 Of it's skin they make huge water bottles. leather sacks, sandals and ropes.
 It's average rate of travel is about two and one-third miles an hour

Hiawatha's Childhood.

Wenonah was Hiawatha's mother. She was tall and slender. Her moth CTS name was Nakomis-
 Hiawatha's mother died. Then Ma komis had to take care of Hiawatha. She took him ito her wigwam- There was a forest behind the wigwam In this forest grew pine and fir trees. The wigwam was situated near Lake Superior.
 The wrinkled old Nokomis nursed Hiawatha- She rocked him in his linden cradle which was bedded soft with moss and rushes and bound with reindeer sinews. When he cried she would say:
 "Hushl the naked bear will hear theei"
 Sometimes she would sing him to sleep. She taught him many things about the stars and the comet.
 On summer evenings Hiawatha sat near the door of the wigwam- He heard the whispering of the pine trees and the tapping of the waters. He learned the language of the birds and called them "Hiawatha's Chickens, and the animals "Hiawatha's Broth CTS"
 Iagoo. a marvellous story teller. made bow for Hiawatha. He made il from a branch Of ash and from an oak-bough he made the arrows. He made a cord of deer skin. Then la goo told Hiawatha to go into the forest and shoot a red deer
 Hiawatha went into the forest and hid in the alder bushes, soon he saw a red deer and he shot 1t, and then took it home
 Nokomfs made cloak with deer skin for Hiawatha and also a banquet in his honor. The people of the will lage came and feasted and they prais- ed Hiawatha.

The Cowry.

No doubt you have often found this very pretty shell, for on the sandy parts of our coast 1t is sometimes very common. You may often find twenty or thirty cowries, indeed in one of those ridges of pebbles and small coal which are washed up by every tide. But if you were to see the living ani- mals crawling about I do not think that you would ever guess what they were. for their soft bodies come out side their shells, which they cover up so completely that you can hardly see them at all.
 If you look on the upper part of the shell, you will see that a pale streak runs across it from one side to the other. This streak marks the line where the edges of the two sides of the body almost meet.
 In some parts of the world cowry shells are used instead of money. It seems rather an easy way of getting rich, doesn't 1t, just to go and pick up shells on the seashore? But then, 1,500 of these cowries are only worth about a shilling, so that you would have to pick up a great many even if you only wanted to do a days shop ping! And then they are ever so that 1t would not be very easy to car " them about. You would have to take several sacks full of cowries with you when you went to make a pur- chase, instead of just keeping your money in a purse.

The Influence of the Moon on Plants.

E.
 Does the light of the moon affect the growth of plants? Does it make any difference in the growth of a plant what time in the moon it is planted ? Undoubtedly it does. Light is a great promoter of growth. and. the more brilliant the light, the stronger and more vigorous the growth all the other conditions being favorable It is fact. also, with certain plants, that when young they require, like young animals, considerable time for rest give them ultimate strength and vigor. which is essential to their subsequent complete development
 To illustrate: The seeds of certain vines and other plants sown in the new Of the moon will vegetate and the plants are likely to appear above ground, near the old of the moon at a time when the moons radiance is so brilliant that they are compelled to few understand the philosophy of the still forced forward and the tender plant. thus in it's infancy, gets no rest.
 The seed sown in the old of the moon will bring forth the plant in the new of the moon, or during the dark nights, at which time 1t obtains the needed rest and sleep. in the darkness. which is essential to its fu- ture productiveness.
 That the light of the moon has thus a very percepttble and important in fuence upon the growth of plants when verv voupe and tender, is a fact which thousands have verified, though few understand the hilosophy of the same.
