The autobiography .,f the late Rev.
Clerics }I. Spurgeon contains an ac-
count of what may be termed an early
business venture rind its iuflue ice on
his character.
Spurgeon was brought up on Watt's
hymt]s, but not altogether willingly. Ills
gni mimother coaxed bim with money
to learn them. 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

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."

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.
The minister rode home as fast as his

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.
