GIANT OF THE MOUNTAIN.

Did you ever hear of the giant who
lived on the top Of a great high noun
tain? He slept all day. and at night he
would go into the valley and walk over
houses. He could step over house
easily. Sometimes he would strike 1t
with his club and make it rock. and
the people would say, "Iow hard the
wind blows" Then he would strike
the rocks and make sparks fly. and
they would call 1t lightning. His laugh
was like thunder, and when he sneezed
or whistled they called 1t a tornado.
Sometimes ne would drink all the
water in the wells. and the people
would say. What a terrible drought"
And when he carried of q cow-and
he could easily take one under his

everything in It. then they knew the
giant had been there.

TO this rule there is no exception. 1t
is for the purchaser herself to see
whether tn chops be large or small

thickness and what the proportion Of

chasing. 1t is too mucr to expect of
busy marketman. who has hundreds
OF customers. to put himself in the
place OF such a customer and give
her exactly what she would have se-
lected herself. The only sure way Of
getting exactly what is best for each
particular family Is Tor the house
keeper herself to inspect and select
the meat and see It cut of.
AS to the purchasing of pieces OF
meat which will answer for more than
one dinner. such as roasts. 1t should
be found from experience Just how
many pounds are needed for the two
or three meals to be supplied. and
that much always purchased. It is
sometimes economy to buy a large cut
of meat. A small roast costing 60 or
Is cents might be enough for only
one dinner. where a larger one cost
ing 81, would furnish meat for two
dinners at an average cost OF SO
cents, saving worth while 1t has
been found better economy by exps-
rienced cooks and caterers to plan the
left-overs in this way than to buy
whatever the marketman offers. and
then utilize any ieft-overs there may
be. The same rule applies to chicken
or any other sort of meat

Now what do you want?" he asked.
Oscar did the talking, SO he told
the giant that he had their horse
Nancy and they had come for her.
You cannot have her." said the
giant. 81 am going to eat her."
"She will not be very tender" re.
piled Oscar. for she is very old" He
was almost crying at the thought of
poor Nancy's fate.
"Oh. that will not bother me-" said
the giant; look at my teeth" He
opened his mouth. and the boys moved
away, for It was large enough to swal-
low them whole, and his teeth looked
like big stones.
He laughed when he saw the boys
were frightened, and it shook the
mountains; the boys were glad when
he became serious again. But he would
not let Nancy go. and told them he
thought he should keep them also:
they were SO small he liked to look at
them. and 1t made him seem so very
large. The boys were quite fright.

mot very we'll, but we can sing"
said Hans, who had been struck with
happy thought.
well. sing then" said the giant.
The boys sang funny song, and the
old giant laughed so hard that he
rolled OF the tree onto the ground.
Then the boys began singing soft. low
songs The giant pulled big stone
under his head and listened. Soon his
eyes began to close, and after while
he was fast asleep.
Hans stopped singing, but told his
brother to keep on while he crept
over to the giant and very gently un-
fastened the belt he wore. Then he
brought Nancy to where Oscar was
still singing. and they both mounted
Hans told Oscar to hold the staff in
both hands while he held the belt
Nancy trotted away with the boys, but
soon she seemed to be flying so fast
did they go. and almost before they
knew it they were at the foot Of the
mountain. and there the little old man
was waiting for them. They returned
his staff, and thanked him very much
for lending It to them. He told them
to bury the belt in the ground when
they reached home.
The sun was Just setting when they
rode into the yard, but they told their
father and mother about the belt, and
Father Burton said they must bury it
at once. which they did and in the
morning they went to the mountain
and recovered all the supplies which
had been lost
That night, after Oscar and Hans
were in bed, Oscar said: II should
like very much to have seen the old
giant when he awoke and found he
was only as large as an ordinary man."
YES" said Hans. But I am slad

which the following passage is an ex-
ample:
You boys ought to be kind to your
little sisters. l once knew a bad boy
who struck his little sister blow

and die in the early summer time,
when the June roses were blooming,

The modes in hairdressing change
quite as much as the modes in mill
linery or clothes. indeed we have to
keep modifying our coiffure to suit the
everchanging hat shapes. When the
crowns are high we must needs wear
our knots on top of our heads to fill
in the high crowns. When the fat
crowned shape prevails 1t means that
the hair must be slowed away around
the nape Of the neck somewhere.

Nancy, we never s1xM see her again"
After breakfast Hans and Oscar
talked 1t over themselves and de-
cided to try to find Nancy. They told
their mother they were going to hunt
for Nancy. and they wanted some
lunch, as they might not be back that
night. Mother Burton told them 1t
was useless to hunt anywhere but on
the mountain where the giant lived.
and they could not go there. and IL
they ever did reach the top the giant
might keep them, but as they never
had heard of the giant taking chill
dren. they started for the mountain.
They climbed all the morning, and
at noon sat down to eat their lunch
con under tree. A little old man
of their food and told him what their
errand was. He told them that he
knew about the wickedness of the
giant. and would help them a little. He
had a staff in his hand. which he gave
to Oscar and Hans and told them it
would help them up the mountain. He
also told them that il they could get
the big belt which the giant wore he
would lose his power and become as
small as an ordinary man, and do no
more harm. The boys thanked him
and started on their journey.
Hans had the staff, and soon he
was well up the mountain, and poor
Oscar was far behind, so Hans waited
for his brother to come up to him;
then Oscar took the staff, and in few
minutes he was far ahead. He waited
for Hans. and they decided it must
be the staff, so they both took hold
of it. and sure enough they moved up
the mountain at a rapid rate. for the
little old man had given them a magic
staff.
Soon they were on the top of the
mountain, and they could see the
giants feet sticking out of a cave.
Shall we go closer?" asked Hans.
'Of course said Oscar. What
did we come for? There is old Nancy
over by that tree"
Nancy saw them and neighed and
called to them in horse language They
had just reached her when the giant
awoke. He stood up and took one

But that would not do you any

The giant walked around and made
roaring noise. but the boys stood
still. although their hearts were beat
ing fast. The giant pulled up a tree
and threw 1t on the ground. and seated
himself upon it.
