THE FIRST WOMAN.
An old Eastern Legend That Tells
How She WINS Created.

The last section "Of Finger of the
Moon Reddened by the Setting Sun" in
the Sanscrit work called the "Surging
of the Ocean of Time" contains legend
concerning woman's creation which Is
commonly credited throughout India,
and which runs somewhat as follows:
At the beginning of time, Twashtrl the
Vulcan of Hindoo mythology, created
the world. But when he wished to
create woman he found he had EN-
ploycd all his materials in the creation
of man. There did not remain one
solid element. Then Twashtri, per
picked, fell into profound meditation.
He reused himself to do as follows:
lie took the lightness of the leaf and
the glance of the fawn, the gayety of
the suns rays and tears of the mist,
the Inconsistency of the wind, and the
timidity of the hare, the vanity of the
peacock and the softncss of the down
on the throat of the swallow the
harshncss of the diamond, the sweet
flavor of honey, the cruelty of the tiger,
the warmth of fire. the chill of snow,
the chatter of the jay and the cooling
of the turtle dove. lie melted all this
and formed n woman. Then he made
n present of her TO man. Eight days
later the man came to Twashtri and
said
MY lord, the creature you gave me
poisons my existence. She chatters
without rest she takes all my time,
she laments for nothing at all and is al
ways ILL.," And Twashtri received the
woman again. But eight days later the
man came again TO the god and saidI
MY lord. my life is very solitary
since returned this creature. re.
member she danced before my singing.
| recall how she glanced at me from
the corner of her eye, that she played
with me- cung TO me-" And Twashtri
returned the woman to him. Three
days only passed and Twashtri saw the
man coming TO him again.
MY lord" said he. II do not under
stand exactly how, but I'm sure the
woman causes me more annoyance
than pleasure. | beg of you relieve me
Of her"
But Twnshtri cried, go your way
and do your best"
And the man cried, II cannot live
with her!
Neither can you live without her."
replied Twashtri.
And the man went sorrowfully away,
murmmlng Woe is me; ! can neither
live with her nor without her."-Col-
lier's Weekly.

HISTORIC sTAeEcoAcH.
Preserved In the Postal Museum mt
the National Canltnl.

One of the most interesting relics of
obsolete postal service to be seen at
the museum In Washington, says the
Washington Post. is an old time Rocky
Mountain combination passenger and
mail coach, built in 1868. This was
among the first OF its kind to carry the
mails IN Montana. the route of this par
ticular coach being from Helena TO
Bozeman, the trip consuming n week.
The residents along the same section
now receive four mails daily. The
coach was donated to the museum by
8. S. Huntley. general manager of the
Yellowstone Park Transportation com
pnny. II was captured by Indians In
1877 and recaptured after hot pur-
suit by General Howard. Many dis
tlnguished persons have Travelled In II,
among them being General Garfield, be
fore he was president; President Ar.
thur, on visit to Montana in 1883,
and General Sherman, on tour of in
spccton In 1877. The latter was pas
senger when the coach made the dis
tance from Fort Ellis to Helena. 10S
miles. in eight hours, six horses being
the team, with frequent relays.
This antiquated affair on wheels is
the simon pure, typical stagecoach of
the Beadle dime novel. The James
brothers and the Fords may have en-
riched themselves by looting this iden-
teal relic of the west. There are a
front and rear boot, the former, under
the drivers seat, being the repository
of Uncle Sans mail bags, the rear boot
serving to carry baggage, Heavy
leather springs and iron tires to the
wheels half an inch thick enabled the
vehicle to Withstand the rough usage
TO which II was subjected. With ca
pacity inside for nine people, others
riding on top and beside the driver,
with slots in the sides of the coach
through which rifles could be aimed. IL
seemed evident that n knight Of the
road had TO be of reckless mold to
tackle one of these once a week Eek

ing before feeding.
All the stimulants breeding fowls
need is wholesome food and drink in
proper quantities.
To fatten the coekerels rapidly, con-
fine them In close quarters and feed
cornmeal cooked in milk.
Short legged fowls fatten quickly.
Long legs are hard to fatten. Those
first hatched fatten quickest in a
brood.
Fowls seldom tire of milk. They
may eat too much grain or meat, but
milk in any form is palatable and
healthy.
The roosting poles should be ON a
level with each other. This will pre-
vent the fowls all trying to roost on
the top perch.
A fowl or animal in which an excel
lence is constitutional is apt to trans
NIT all this excellence in all the de-
yeloped power and beauty to its prog
eny.
In selecting for breeding the pullet
should be at least u year younger than

A String to 1t,

The Blue of the Sapphire.

The blue of the sapphire is seldom
pure or spread over the whole sub
stance OF the stone. Sometimes 1t is
mixed with black, which gives it an
inky appearance; sometimes with red,
which, although imperceptible by day
light, yet by artificial light gives 1t an
amethystine appearance. Two sap
phires which by daylight may appear
of the same hue often differ extremely
In color at night. If the stone be held
