A NTH ABOUT THE FLOOD.
Unique Account Given by the Lithuanians
OF Eastern Europe.


The Lithuanians, a people Of
eastern Europe, have the most unique
of the myths concerning the flood.
The god Pramzimas, so the legend
runs, saw that the earth was full of
disorder; that men were evil and were
becoming ever worse. He sent, there
fore, two giants, Wandu and Weijas
(the water and the wind) to destroy
all things They wandered about in
fury, crushing and burying every
thing in their way. Only few men
escaped them and took refuge on a
high mountain.
Now, at this time Pramzimas was
eating nuts in his home in the
heavens, and as he looked down
toward earth to watch the giants in
their work, he saw the few poor peo-
pie crouc ing in terror on the noun
tain. He could not keep from pity
ing them, SO he dropped shell of one
of the heavenly nuts on the mountain
near the people, and in it they took
refuge.
When the giants finally reached
the mountain in their course of de-
struction, they recognized the shell
as coming from the heavens, and, re-
speeting it, came not nearer.
The waters finally subsidized into
the four seas and the little lakes and
rivers, leaving the rest dry land. As
soon as the people on the mountain
saw they would again be safe they de-
scended and scattered to various parts
of the earth.
A single, very aged couple remained
in that country alone, but they were
most miserable because they had no
children about them to cheer them
and make easy their old age.
Pramzimas, again taking pity upon
them, sent the rainbow, as a message
of mercy, and counseled them to jump
over the Clones of the EARTH" Long
the aged couple puzzled as to the
of the gods message before
they finally decided that the 'bones
of the earth" must mean the rocks.
They obeyed them, jumping nine
times, and the result was nine pairs of
children, who became the ancestors
Of the nine Lithuanian tribes.-Leila
G. Fish, in Minneapolis Journal.

To Cure the Deaf and Dumb.

King Oscar of Sweden and Norway,
always ready with his purse in the pro-
motion Of scientific research, appears
to have rendered a great service to
mankind by having, at his own ex-
pense, caused deaf and dumb man
to be treated under a certain system
of massage Of throat, ears and the sur
rounding parts Of the head, advocated
by great Swedish surgeon, with the
result that the lucky Swedish surgeon,
with the result that the lucky patient
has begun to speak and can hear.

man in the ranks than Private "Ben"
Lear, father of Sergt. ''Ben" Lear
And there's no more wide-awake olli-
Ger at Manila than "Ben" Lear, SER
geant, son of "Ben" Lear, private.
If it comes ben" Lear, Sr.'s turn
to carry a little wood, draw rations
from the commissary department or
man a broom in cleaning out quar-
tiers, that person receives orders from
his son to do it, and he does it. If he
rebelled he would no doubt 90 into
the guardhouse just the same as if he
were not the parent who is responsible
for the first sergeant that gives the
command.
Benjamin Lear, ST., is well known
as a printer in Colorado, and has also
seen his day as one Of the leading ball
players of the country. Several years
ago he was a member of one Of the
big eastern leagues and made a great
name for himself as a catcher and sec
ond baseman. He played in some
great games with the Pittsburgh and
teams.
Father and son got the war fever
and both enlisted. The son, however,
secured advancement first, and was
made first sergeant. The father was
admitted to the sons company at the
latter's instigation, and they are as
two boys together when the stern
duties of the soldier are laid aside. |
They sleep and eat together and share
each others rations. They often have
q trough and tumble" together, and
they play all sorts of pranks on each
other. Mrs. Lear, wife of "Ben"
Lear, private, and mother of "Ben"
Lear, sergeant, lives at Cripple Creek.
