At first she gave him a penny, but when she saw how easily it war eax'ned the old lady reduced the price to a half -penny, and then to a farthing. There its no telling how long the amount per bymn might have fall- en, but just at this time his grnndfathee made a discovery which seemed more desirable to Spurgeon. He discovered that his house was euvuerrata. with rats, and offered his grandson a shilling a dozen for all he could kill. The occupation of rat -killing gave him more money than learning hymns.

All weut well with the king and queen for a year. The, king had quite forgotten his giugerliuts and the queen ber jet's leap. However, the king got out of bed one morning with the wrong foot foremost, and after that, of course, all went. wrong. It rattled the entire dee; the imperial glebe Irl down and the little cross ou the top broke off; the court painter brought a new globe on which Macrotia was painted red instead of blue, as be had been ordered, and to cap the climax til. queen had a headache, It came to pass that the wedded pair quarreled for the first time; why or wherefore they knew not. In short, the king was cross and the queen was snap- py, and would have the lase word, Aft- i er the quarrel had gone on for some time the queen shrugged her shoulders. disdainfully and said: "You've found fault the entire day. And why, pray—you, who can't so' much as play the jew's harp?" Ile retorted sharply: "You've nothing to say. You can't, even bake ginger nuts," For the first time the queen did not reply, but remained quiet, and without exchanging another word they went to their respective rooms, The Sheet seated herself, in a corrin of the sofa and wept and thought sadly: "What a foolish wife yon arel Have you lost your reason? You should not have begun a quarrel so stupidly." The king paced tip and down his room, rubbed his bands anl said: "It is truly a bit of good luck that my wife can't bake ginger nuts, Why did I answer her when she reproaohed me for not knowing haw to play on the jew's harp?" After repeating this three or four' times he felt more cheerful. He began to whistle bis favorite tune, examined the large portrait of the queen which hung in his room, mouuted a chair, and with his handkerchief brushed off a cobweb that hung over her nose and acid; "She is surely fretting, my good lit- tle wife. I'll see what she's doing." Ha went down the long hall to ber'. door. All bad gone wrong on this day The servant had even forgotten the lamps, although it was 8 o'etook and quite dark. He entered the room, put- ting out his hands before him so as net to stumble against the furniture. Sade denly he felt something warm. "Who is it?" he said.. "It is I," replied the queen. "What's the matter, my pet?" "I want to ask yonr forgiveness," said the queen, "for having been so cross." "Yon don't need to do that at a11," said the king, throwing his arms about her nook. "I'm more to blame than yon are. Let's forget all about it. There are two terms that we'll never allow used in our kingdom, jew's harp and"— "And ginger nuts," interrupted the queen, laughing, as she secretly wiped two little tears from her eyes.—From the German For Short Stories. The king of Illacrouia (the land of ]»taoaroous), who for some tune hue: been in the primed life, had just arisen and was seated undressed beside hi: bed. His house minister was there and banded him his hose. In the heel of one lock was a hole. The Mingwas wont re pay more attention to his beautiful koots tban to whole seeks, However, the hole did not escape his sharp eyes. In dist;n't he took the sock out of the minister's band and pushed his fore- finger through the hole clear up to bis knuckle, saying: "Of what use is it that I am king since I have no wife? What do you say to my marrying?" "Your majesty, that is a sublime thought, a thought that would certain- ly have occurred to me. if I may snake so bold, bad I not felt that your maj. esty most assuredly would deign to otter it for yourself." "Beautiful!" replied the king. "But do you believe that I shall be able to find a wife suitable for me?" "Pooh! Ten where ethers could find but one!" said tbo courtier. "A princess to please me must be clever and beautiful, and there is one point on which I lay especial stress• Yon know how fond I am of gingernuta In my whole kingdom there is not a person who understands how to bake them exactly right, and the prinoost whom I choose must know how to do this to perfection." When the minister heard this, be gave a whistle of dismay, but gniokly collecting himself said: "A king like your majesty will with- out doubt find a princess who under stands how to bake ginger nuts." "We shall see, we sbeiil-eeel" said the king, and on thF+:ry same day, ao- companied by tae., minister, he began a tour of the ,aingdoms of his different neighboteewhom he knew had prin- cessep:c'o give in marriage, .et:rnly three princesses were found who were beautiful and clever euough to the lama reed them =et items meek! bake ginger nuts. "I really cannot bake ginger nuts," said the first princess in answer to the king's question, "but I can make beau- tiful little almond Oakes. Wouldn't those suit yon?" "No," replied the king. "I must have ginger nuts." The second princess in reply to the same question mocked at the king and said angrily: " What nonsense! Princesses who can bake ginger nuts do not exist!" Tho king fared worse at the hands of the third, who was the most beautiful and the most charming. She gave the king no opportunity to ask bis question, but took things into her own bands and demanded whether he knew how to play on the jew's harp, and when he said he did not she scut him away, He pleased her very much, she admitted, but she was so extrava- gantly fond of the music of the jew's harp that she would never marry a man that could not play it. The king and his minister returned home, and as they alighted from their carriage the king said: "Nothing has come of all this!" "Nothing, your majesty," said the minister mournfully. "What shall I do?" sighed the king. "I must have a wife." "If you would only give np tbe ginger ants," ventured the minister timidly. "For the good of my people I will!' exclaimed the noble king, and he re- solved to marry the princess whom he had first sought. "She is tbeone who knows bow to bake almond cakes," he said. "Go and ask ber if she will be my wife." The minister went, returned the next day, and said she was no longer in the matrimouiai market, for she had mar- ried the king of tbe Land of Capers. "Then go to the second priuoess,' said the king. Again the minister re• turned without having accoinpiished anything, for this pringess had died. Then the king thought a long time. He absolutely must have a wife, so be ordered the minister to go to the third princess and see if she had °banged her mind, The minister obeyed, though he did it unwillingly, for his wife assured bim that his errand was a useless one. The king anaiously'awaited bis re- turn. His mind was ou her question concerning the jew's harp, and the re- membrance of it was most annoying. The third princess received the min- ister very cordially. She said she bad changed her hind about marrying a man who could play the jew's bare; "Dreams aro but vain and empty things, especially those of youth." She realized that ber wish could not be fulfilled, and as the king pleased her she bad decided to marry hila.

Trees In New Zealand. The kauri is the monarch of the New Zealand forest, an indigenous pine, growing to enormous height, frequently 80 feet, before it sends out a bough, while its average diameter is from eight to nine feet. It is said to be 800 years in reaching maturity. Thercpee no un- derbrush in a kauri forest, the!trince of trees permitting no rival within bis do- main. The totara is another species of pine, which, however, bas none of the characteristics of the coniferie of other countries, either in habit or iu appear- ance. The most singular of all is the rata, a peculiar tree with somewhat the na- ture of a parasite. If it springs up near a rimu pine, it winds about it like a huge vine, its tightening coils gradual- ly crushing the life out of the unfortu- nate pine. When it reaches the top, it sends out branches and stands a hollow shell, its coils knit closeia together by a deuse network of fibers, which appear in the last stage of its growth. It bas a like afiiuity for its own species, and a second rata springing up beside one of earlier growth will absorb and destroy it as it destroys the rimu. If, however, neither tenet nor rata is within reach, it grows up a respectable and well be- haved tree, attaining a height of from 60 to 60 feet, and is used for masts in shipbuilding.—Chautauquan.
