JAPANESE MYTHS,
Strange Beliefs About Demon Birds and

Strange Beliefs About Demon Birds and
Animals.
No people in the world, civilized or
savage, believe in the existence of so
many mythical, half-supernatural
creatures as do the Japanese For in
stance, they think there is a wondrous
tiger of more than half human intelli-
gence that lives TO be one thousand
years old, and turns as white as polar
bear. They also believe in species of
fox, which, If it lives to be fifty years
old having been chased by dog, trans
forms himself into beautiful woman
This same fox, il he lives to the age
OF one hundred years, gains some
new powers, among which is
that of becoming wonderful
wizard. When he reaches the
age of one thousand years he becomes
a celestial fox with nine golden-colored
tails and has the power of going to
Heaven whenever he chooses. They
also believe in a multitude of animals
distinguished mainly by their monstrous
size or by the multiplication of their
numbers. Among these are serpants
eight hundred feet long and big enough
to swallow an elephant; foxes with
eight legs; monkeys with four ears;
fishes with ten heads attached to one
body. the flesh OF which is cure for
boils. They also believe in the exis-
tence of a crane which, after it has
reached the age of six hundred years,
has no need of any sustenance except
water. Their mythical dragon has the
head of a camel, the horns of n deer,
the eyes of demon, the ears of an OK.

fish, and the claws and wings of an
eagle.-Chicago News.

AProvrdential DispensatIon,

A curious story comes from Wenghsi-
ang. The town suffers from inunda-
tions of the Yellow river, and two years
ago a movement was started by the To-
cal magistrate to build breakwater.
The chief difficulty lay In the want of
sufficiently large stones. Suddenly.
however, 70 the establishment of the
community, heavy storm of wind and
rain deluged the country, and brought
down an endless quantity of huge
stones exactly suited to the purpose.
The people naturally regarded the Incl
dent as direct manifestation of Divine
power in aid of n great public under
taking. and the governor of the district
cites fact which conclusively proves
the supernatural origin of the event.
One of the stones, he says, which was
as large Is house, was inscribed with
seal characters, two of which, meaning

was able TO decipher.-London Graphic

Brighter than angels; 10. they shine,
Their glories splendid and sublime.
Through tribulation great they came.
They bore the cross and scorned the shame;

With God they dwell; on Him they rest.

And scenes of bliss. forever new,

out of stomach aud lungs and induce

also be rubbed vigorously so as to start

'.Oysters are fatter this year than
ever saw them before" said restaurant
oyster opener. Il don't know why, but
usually the fatter an oyster is the poorer
the flavor. This is because the fat oy-
ster has generally been out of the water
too long and has been fed. That is not
wholly the reason this year. They are
fatter anyhow.
IAN oyster is best on the half shell,
about twentyfour to forty-eight hours
after he is ont of salt water. Eaten be-
fore that time they are apt to give
cramps. Yes, the male oyster is the
best, but we don't come across male
