The Indian Creation Legend.

The earliest source for the religion
of India is the hymns Of the Rig Veda,
the date of which is now fixed at about
1000 b. C. In one of these hymns we
encounter as the creator Purusha. who
is simply a "magnified man." A pam
theistic turn, however, is given to this
conception under the influence Of
which Purusha becomes the "all in all"
and is identified with the universe,
with what has been and what shall be.
All gods, animals and castes are parts
Of him. The moon is his mind, the sun
his eye, from his mouth sprang lndra
and Agni and from his breath Vayu.
space from his navel, heaven from his
head and the earth from his feet. This
emanatiOn theory when freed from its
primitive elements becomes pantheism
pure and simple. In accord with this
view the source Of creative activity is
carried back in other hymns to "de'
sire" We read in Vedic literature that
"desire is the seed of the mind. Nor

Tree Tint Turns to stone.

There is a tree that grows in Mexico
called the "chijol," or stone tree. 1t is
OF enormous proportions, both in cir
conference and height. 1t has a num-
Der Of branches spreading out widely
and carrying leaves of a yellowish
green color. The wood is extremely
fine and easily worked in a green state.
1t is not given to either warping or
splitting. The most remarkable thing
about it is that after being cut the
wood gets gradually harder, and in the
course of n few years it is absolutely
petrifed, whether left in the open air
or buried in the ground. From this
timber houses can be built that would

The Hnirpin In surgery.

The hairpin as a surgical instrument
is treated quito seriously by a physi-
clan who, writing in a technical jour
nal, names fifteen different ways in
which it may be used in an emergency
to ease pain or even to save life. For
example, it might serve as a probe. as
a surgical needle, in place Of a drain
age tube, to remove foreign bodies, to
compress a blood vessel or to close a
wound.

than a hundred pair of oxen," wrote
old James Howell almost three centu-
ries ago. 1t may be that some Of the
virtue Of the hair goes into the pin.

A SLEEPING PREMIER.
Stories OF Lord North's Drowsy Mo-
ments In Parliament.


Lord North was the sleeping parlia-
mentarian Of the eighteenth century.
He was forever yawning in the faces
of members and their speeches. Black
and White says of him that indignant
brators were constantly complaining
of his refusal to listen to them, and he
was never at a loss in subjecting them
to the further humiliation of a sharp
retort.
"Even now in these perlls the noble
lord is asleepw burst forth an angry
member Of the opposition, and Lord
North awolze in time to murmur, 81

Again he said to another grumbler,
'gThe physician should never quarrel

TO n speaker who impeached him Of
all sorts Of crimes and called attention
to his doing through the attack Lord
North rejoined;
ut is cruel TO deny me the solace
enjoyed by other criminals-that Of a
nights rest before they meet their
fate"
The best story Of the sleepy premier
is that connected with a peer who
bored parliament with a history OF
shipbuilding from the time of Noah
and his ark. North began doing al
the mention Of the ark and slept until
the speaker reached the Spanish ar
mazda. Then n colleague woke him.
"Where are we now?" asked North.
