woman with her grand child. They
live 1! y themselves,they had nobody
around them or near them. The win

they we e hungry. One day the boy
made :p his mind to go out toward
the snowstorm. At last lie came to
the end where the storm began.
The'e he saw a man chopping the
a o v with his stone hatchet, and
thrown g it into the clouds with a
woo ’e . shovel forming great drifts.
The little boy thought he would
•'.eel the hatchet and stop the storm.
The man did not know the boy
was looking at him. At last he took,
the stone hatchet and ran just as fast
*s he could. The man saw the 1 oy
end ran after him. The little Ley
ran into the hut and wrapped himscll
in his grandmother’s 1 eddir.g.
At last there came a singing up
from their window and tl e words
were,that if the boy would give back
the stone hatchet, that hi the
morning they shall see 1 prries or. the
ground and ashes in the sea.
At first the boy would not listen,
even when his grandmother urged
him to give back what he had taken
from the man.The boy soon got tired
of being coaxed and so he brol e it
on a stone and threw it out of the
window. When the man received it,
he said, “a little broken. ” In the
morning 1 close the boy opened his
eyes he heard bees humming, and
sure enough he saw Lees. When he
we t out, he saw things just as he
w..s told by the man who had the
s.one hatchet. They began to-make
fish nets and set out fishi: gaud soon
they had plenty to eat.

Rheumatism frequently occurs in
infants and children of native par
entage, and its symptoms and char
acteristics are more varied, and
generally more severe in them than
in adults.

rheumatism in children, is as a rule,
associated with a considerable deg' ce
of fever, profuse acid perspiration,
and severe pain in the different mus
cles of the body and limbs. Among, t

of rheumatism, becomes dilated, n* d

Pleurisy is a not uncommon corn- I
plication of rheumatism and is in
some cases the first symptom to
appear. Tor.silitis sometimes accom
panies and often precedes an acu te
attack of rheumatism.
