The BIRTH OF JAPAN.
Curious Legend of the Creation
Handed Down by the Japanese.

Curious Legend of the Creation
Handed Down by the Japanese.
The following is the curious legend
Of the creation as it is told in Japan:
Clouds formed the bridge on which
once god YZanaghi and his spouse
Yzanuma stood pondering on the rid
die of existence, whether the begin
nings of worlds and the beginnings Of
life lay slumbering in that sea Of
chaos. Yzanaghi, apparently more en-
terprising than philosophically in
clined, seized his shimmering spear
and plunged it into the black and
seething flood. Pulling it up again, he
discovered seven salt drops on it's dia-
mond point, which, dropping, con-
densed and formed the island of Cuso-
korosima.
Thereupon Yzanaghi and his spouse
selected the spot of earth which had
thus been created as their permanent
dwelling place and peopled it with in
Vulnerable genii of animal and plant
life and spirits of the elements. And
around this palace of immortality"
rose eight other islands-Awadsi, the
island of foam; the mountainous Cho,
Yamato, blessed with fruit; Yyo, un-
surpassed in it's beauty; the quinquan-
gular Tsikousi. Sado, rich in copper
and gold; Yki, one of the pillars of
heaven. and Oko. surrounded by three
satellites.
Such was the birth of Japan, of that
curious land of Fusiyama, with it's
amiable population Of artist artisans,
it's graceful teahouses, it's glistening
silks, it's grotesque dwarf trees, it's
white cranes and dreamy lotus ponds.

A GOOD PRESCRIPTION.
Laughter as a stomach Cure and q
Aid to Health.

Laughter as q stomach Cure and an
Aid to Health.
Worry is but one Of the many forms
of fear, so that worry tends to the
production of indigestion. Indigestion
tends to put the body Of the subject in
condition that favors worry. There
is thus established vicious circle
which tends to perpetuate itself, each
element augmenting the other.
1t is necessary to secure cheerful,
wholesome atmosphere for the dys-
peptic. He should eat his meals at q
table where there is good fellowship
and where funny stories are told. He
should himself make great effort to
contribute his share of this at the table,
even if it be necessary, as it was in one
case under my care, for him to solemn
ly and seriously collect funny para
graphs from the press, and at first in
terject them spasmodically during lulls
in the conversation at the table. The
very efforts and determination Of the
man to correct his own silent habits at
table, to correct his feelings of dis
cOuragement and worry, were in them
selves a promise of success. The eff
fort made was adequate to the obsta-
cles to be overcome. He succeeded, and
the spectacle of that man trying to
be funny at table when he felt thor
oughly discouraged and blue is one we
shall never forget.
Laughing is in itself also a useful
exercise from the standpoint of diges-
oil hn oh i'm
organs, it increases the circulation of
the blood, it increases peristalsis, it in
creases the secretion of gastric juices.
Five minutes deliberate laughing after
each meal would be an excellent pre-
scription for some people.-Family Doc

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because Of lack
IF food, but because the food
loes not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
md gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

ELECTRIFIED HOUSES.
The Simple Explanation of a Very
Ordinary Phenomenon.

The Simple Explanation of a Very
Ordinary Phenomenon.
An instance of nonfamiliarity with
simple scientific facts is illustrated by
an article that goes the rounds of the
press once or twice annually-namely,
the story of the electrified house. The
article usually states that some one
has discovered that everything he
touches in his house - the radiators,
picture frames, banquet lamps, ETC.
gives him an electric shock; hence he
fears there is some connection between
the arc light wires and the water pipes
near his residence. The electric light
inspector is therefore summoned and
reports that the wires of his company
are intact and that the electricity must
come from some other source.
1t does not dawn on any Of the peo-
pie consulted that the discoverer Of
the phenomenon is unconsciously per-
forming one of the simplest and oldest
of eleetrestatie@ex the shuf-
fling of his shoes over the dry carpet

at every opportunity. One may even
get electric discharges from his knuc-
kles against the brass lock of hand
bag which he may be carrying while
walking on Il stone pavement during
cold. dry weather
But dismissing newspaper science.
it is somewhat astonishing, in view of
the many ways in which in cold. dry
countries electricity is unintentionally
developed and manifested by spark
ing, that the first knowledge concern
ing this phenomenon did not come to
the ancients in this way rather than
by the attraction of light substances
by amber. The explanation of this,
however, may be that the scientists of
bygone days did not reside in cold, dry

The Blunt Way In Which Chaplain

The Blunt way In Wh1ch chaplain
Cannon Refused Fortune.
The Rev. Edward Cannon. chap
lain to King George ". was a dog
scdly independent man. On one occa-
sion lie refused to compliment his roy
al master on his singing and for a
time fell into disfavor. His manner
was high handed and not always too
courteous, but his actions were always
on the side of right and justice. The
biography Of his friend Barham. the
author of the "Ingoldsby Legends"
contains. among other anecdotes of
Cannon, tile story of how he disinher-
tied himself. aa
A silly old lady summoned him to
her house and pretended TO be declin-
ing in health. She told him she had
made her will, by which the whole of
a considerable fortune was to be left
to him.
81 don't believe it," said Cannon aft
er a pause. in which he eyed her
doubtfully. The lady assured him that
the document was lying in a desk in
the room.
II won't believe it." persisted Can
non, unless see it,"
Smiling at his incredulity, she placed
the will in his hands. Cannon read it.
"Well," he said deliberately, 'if
had not seen it in your own hands,
could not have believed you were such
an unnatural brute"
Thrusting the paper between the bars
Of the CRATE, he continued in a severe
low voice: "Have you no one more
nearly connected with you than mo
one to whom your money should go,
who has right to be provided for

The Tired Foot.

A lady was watching a potter at his
work whose one foot was kept with a
'never slackening speed turning his
swift wheel round" while the other
rested patiently on the ground. When
the lady said to him in sympathizing
tone. "How tired your foot must be!'
the man raised his eyes and said: "No,
ma'am; it isn't the foot that works
that's tired. It's the foot that stands.
That's it."
If you want to keep your strength,
use it. If you want to get tired, do
nothing. AS a matter of fact. we all
know that the last man to give help
ing hand to any new undertaking Is
the man who has plenty of time on his
hands. 1t is the man and woman who
are doing the most who are always
willing to do little more."-Philadel-

Some years ago, when a movement
was made for the establishment of a
creamery here, one of our business men
remarked that it would prove of more
benefit than an additional shoe factory.
No doubt many then dissented from
that opinion who would now readily
confirm it. Before the advent of the
creamery it must be admitted that
farming was at low ebb in Waldo
county. With little inducement to keep
stock, and the selling of hay as the only
cash crop, farms necessarily ran down.
Now with cash market for cream,
farmers are increasing their stock,
which means increased fertility OF
farms, and larger areas under cul-
nvatlon. SlloS are now to be
found on many of the farms and
more corn is planted as a result of the
high price of western grain. There is
no reason why we should not raise more
potatoes, which are a profitable crop in
ArooStooh, and we can ship the surplus
by water while Aroostook must depend
on the more costly transportation by
rail. But to return to the creamery.
We are told that in sections where
creameries lave long been established,
farms show wonderful improvement.
and the people are prosperous. a like
