A boisterous fellow indeed is North Wind, hut he is not always as rough as ho is known to be on 6ome occasions. He may be as gentle as a slumbering babe in its cradle, he may bewitch all living things with the tones of his lyre, or he may burst with the might of an all powerful giant upon the world of men. That was a mischievous prank he played in days of yore on a boy in Norseland and whom we will call Olaf. Pay heed and you shall learn about it. Olaf was the only son of a widow, and she was both feeble and poor. She had taught the boy to wait on her, and this made him kind and thoughtful. One day she sent him tor some flour to the storehouse. This was a frame building, raised from the ground on wooden props, and had to be reach; d by a flight of stairs. Olaf ran lightly np the steps, got the flour and was turn ing to hasten down again when North Wind came puffing and panting that way, caught up the flour and bore it. off through the air. Olaf went hack for more flour, but the moment he set foot on the stairs North Wind snorted and sniffed about him, and, pips 1 away went the flour, if you'll believo me, the same thing hap pened a third time, and now Olaf was positively angry, for it seemed quite too provoking that North Wind should act in such a senseless fashion. So Olaf made np his mind that he would go in search of the thief and demand back the flour. Ho set out at once, tmt Iio walked many a long, weary mile before he came at last to North Wind’s home. North Wind had quieted down and was in a most gracious mood when Olaf presented himself before him. “Good day,” said Olaf. “I hope you are well. Mr. North Wind.” *' The same to yourself, my boy. ’ ’ sai d North Wind, and bis voice was grub, but not unkind. “What brings you here, if I may ask?” “I’ve come,” said Olaf, “to see if you’ll be so kind as to give me back the flour you took from me on the store house stairs. Mother and I are poor, and if we lose the little we have we’ll starve to death.” “1 haven’t your flour,” said North Wind, "but sii.ee you’re so badly off here’s a tablecloth for you. It will sup ply you with all you want to eat and drink if you but say, ‘My cloth, spread yourself and serve up all sorts of good things.’ ” Thanking North Wind with all bis heart. Olaf took tho cloth and started for home. As the way was so long, couldn’t hope to get back to" his mother that night, so he stopped at a wayside inn to rest until morning. When tho people at the inn began to prepare the evening meal, Olaf thought ho would sm*prise them. So he threw his cloth on a table in the corner, say ing: “My cloth, spread yourself and serve up all sorts of good things.” Scarcely had he spoken before the cloth did as it was bid, and every one in the room was filled with wonder. There was no one better pleased than the landlady, for she thought how much hard work and trouble it would save her if she had such a cloth. She spoke with her husband about it, and in the middle of the night he stole into Olaf’s chamber and changed the cloth for one his wife had given him that looked like it. When Olaf woke the next morning, rested and refreshed, he set out at once for home, taking with him the wrong cloth. He got there safely the same day and ran to his mother, crying: “Well, I’ve been to see North Wind, and he’s not so bad, after all. Here is a tablecloth he gave me, and it is of the kind that if 1 just say the word it will furnish us with all we need to eat and drink.” "I’ll have to see that with my own eyes before 1 can believe it, ” said his mother. Olaf laid the cloth on a table, and with the air of one who knew what he was about said: “My cloth, spread yourself and serve up all sorts of good things.” But never so much as a crumb of dry bread did the cloth serve. “There’s no help for it,” said Olaf. “I’ll have to go back to North Wind an l ask him the meaning of this.” Away he went so fast that he reached North Wind’s home that same after noon. “Good evening, Mr. North Wind.” said Olaf. "Good evening, my boy.’’said North Wind. "What now?” “I want my rights for the flour you took. That tableloth is good for noth ing.” “W’ell, here is a ram,” said North Wind, "that will furnish you with all the gold coins you want. All you have to do is to say,’My ram, make money.’ ” Olaf thought this was pretty nice, and he went off feeling well content. . If he had gone straight home, he would have had no further trouble, but feel- I ing tired he stopped at the wayside inn ' to rest for the night. Before he gave his orders he thought ho would try his ram, and sure enough he soon had a handful of pure gold coins. The landlord saw this and thought he would like to own so valuable a beast. When Olaf was fast asleep, he took another ram into the boy’s rooui . and left it there in the place of the one ho coveted. "North Wind is a pretty good fol low. ” said Olaf when ho got home to his mother. " Here’s a ram he has giv en me that will make all the money we want, if 1 lint say the word.” "It will take a great deal to make mo believe such stuff, ” exclaimed Olaf’s mother. "My ram, make money.” cried Olaf promptly, but never a coin did the ram bring forth. "I knew itwasall nonsense.” wailed 1 the widow, and that was all the com fort Olaf got. Without another word be sped back to North Wind and told him the ram had proved absolutely worthless. He had come now to demand his rights, he said. "Upon my word, you’re a plucky lad,” exclaimed North Wind. 'Well, the best I can do for you now is to give yon the stick in yonder corner. It may be of soma use to you. If you say. My stick, do your duty,’ it will go on strik ing until you say, ‘My stick, be still. ” With many thanks Olaf started for home. As he passed the inn where he had lost his treasures, he thought it might not bo a bad thing to stop there once more. So he went in, threw him- | self down on a bench and was soon i snoring loudly. The landlord quickly spied the magic stick, and taking it for grantc d it might be worth as much to him as the j cloth and ram ho had taken from the j same guest he found another stick that < looked like it to leave in its place. But as he laid hands on North Wind’s j gift, Olaf. who was only pretending to be asleep, started up, crying: "My stick, do your duty.” Then the stick fell to beating the ; landlord, who tumbled headlong over ' benches and tables, shrieking and screaming: "For mercy’s sake, bid this stick be | still, or it will beat me* to death Stop j it—for pity's sake stop it,and I’ll give j you back your tablecloth and your | ram. ” As soon as Olaf thought mine host ! had been well punished he said quietly: j "My stick, be still.” At once the magic stick ceased from its labors, and tlie landlord restored the stolen goods to their rightful owner. Olaf put the tablecloth and the stick ; in his pocket, and fastening a cord to j the ram’s horns led it home in triumph. North Wind had paid handsomely for the flour, and the widow and her son lived in peace and plenty all their days.—Auber Forrestier in Philadel phia Press. A Sew liuiHlin^ Material. A new kind of building material as a proposed substitute for ordinary stone or brick is now receiving special in dorsement on account of its freedom, i under various and repeated tests, from the usual liability to crack or fracture. To insure this property, with the other essential adaptations, silicic acid is ! used, powdered and cleansed from all impurities. Five to ten per cent of this i is mixed in warm river or rainwater, ; and this is applied to slaked or well j burned lime, or added to hydraulic lime, , the resulting product being mixed with sand and small portions of fluorspar. This mixture is cast into molds, in various shapes as may be desired, and after removal the castings are left to dry from 13 to 21 hours, which brings them to a condition as dry as atmos pheric air. In this state they are brought into a steam boiler and steam blown through so as to drive out all air, after which the boiler is hermetically sealed up and steam let in under a pressure of 10 atmospheres. In this high pres sure steam bath the stones remain for 48 to 72 hours, afterward being submit ted to a bath of boiling and saturated chloride of calcium for G to 13 hours, also under a pressure of about 10 at mospheres, in the same boiler, and the condensed water may be used for the bath. The stones are allowed to dry i in the open air, or, more quickly, by ; circulating steam inside the boiler alter , the chloride of calcium has been with- j drawn and prior to taking out the stones. | —New York Sun. The Coldest Cold. The science of chemistry, like that of geography, has its undiscovered north pole. Four hundred and sixty-one de grees below the freezing point of the Fahrenheit thermometer (—-274 degree C.) lies a mysterious, specially indi cated degree of cold which science has long been gazing toward and striving 1 to attain, wondering meanwhile what 1 may be the conditions of matter at this unexplored point. Its existence has long been indicated and its position es tablished in two different ways—viz, j the regularly diminishing volume of gases and the steady falling off of the resistance made by pare metals to the passage through them of electricity un der increasing degrees of cold. This point, to which both these proc- i esses tend as an ultimate, is called the ( zero of absolute temperature. By mm than one eminent observer it is suppos d to be the temperature of interstel ar space, the normal temperature of the , universe. Whether or not this sup . sition be correct, the efforts which have ! been made and aro still in progress to reach this degree of cold have been many, diverse and ingenious, the equipment of the explorer being not boats, condensed foods and the general machinery of ice exploration, hut all the varied resources of mechanics and of chemistry which , can be combined to compass the ex tremest degree of cold.— McClure's Magazine.
