Savage Legends.

The savage islanders of the south
Pacific believe that the world is a CO.
coanut shell of enormous dimensions,
at the top of which is a single aper-
ture communicating with the upper
cir, where human being dwell. At the
very bottom of this imaginary shell is
a stem gradually tapering to a point
which represents the beginning of all
things. This point is spirit or demon
without human form, whose name is
Root of All Existence By him the en-
tire fabaric of creation is sustained.
In the interior of the cocoanut shell.
at its very bottom, lives a female de-
mon. So narrow is the space into
which she is crowded that she is OBJ
liged to sit forever with knee and chin
touching. Her name is The Very Be-
ginning, and from her are sprung nu-
merous spirits. They inhabit five diff
1erent floors, into which the great CO.
coanut is divided. From certain of
these spirits mankind is descended.
Ihe islanders, regarding themselves
as the only real men and women. were
formerly accustomed to regard stran-
gers as evil spirits in the guise of bu.
monty, whom they killed when thew
could, Offering them as sacrifices.

taken from the buildings will be sold
to farmers as fertilizer. At present
the wrecking company is preparing a
catalogue of all the material which it
will take from the wreckage and these
circulars will be distributed through
out the country. AS soon as pur-
chasers are found the material or
dered will be shipped from the expo
sition grounds. In this way frag-
ments of the pan-American exposi-
ton will be literally scattered to all
parts of the country.
The order of destruction has been
mapped out. At present sixty-five
men are at work tearing down the
arts building. The government build
ing will fall next. Then will come in
order the ethnology, the agricultural,
the manufacturers, the electricity,
the machinery buildings and the sta
dunn. When the tearing down is in
full blast over 700 men will be given
work on the grounds.
In Difference to the wishes of the
park board the wrecking company is
endeavoring to clear the park land
first. Superintendent Graves of the
park board made the request several
days ago, and it is expected that that
portion of the park included in the
grounds will be ready for park use
during the present summer. but it will
be late in the fall before the last YES
tige of the exposition is wiped off the
grounds.-Buffalo Courier.

THE CANDY CLUE.

The recipes given will make
enough to be shared with the grown
ups.
Chocolate Sponge-One-half cake
Bakers chocolate (Walter Bakers is
the best, two and a half cups of
granulated sugar, half a cup of milk,
tablespoon of butter, teaspoon of va
nilla Put the sugar, milk, butter
and chocolate in a saucepan to melt
over a good fire. If you use a gas
stove, it is best to have an asbestos
mat between the flame and the kettle
as the candy burns easily. The
chocolate need not be cut up as it
will melt rapidly. Stir as little as
possible, to keep from burning. When
the syrup hardens as dropped into
cold water the candy is done. Stir
the vanilla in quickly and pour a half
inch thick into buttered pans. When
almost cold, mark in squares with a
sharp knife.
Molasses Peanut Candy-Two cups
of molasses, one cup of sugar, one
tablespoon of butter, one tablespoon
of vinegar. When the candy is boil
ing remove the shells and brown
skins from the peanuts, lay neatly in
buttered pans. When the candy
cracks in cold water, stir the vinegar
in and pour over the peanuts. Cut
while warm.
Old Fashioned Butter Scotch-Two
cups of brown sugar. half a cup of
butter, four tablespoons of molasses,
two tablespoons of water, two table
spoons of vinegar Boil until it hard
ems in cold water, adding vinegar at
the last and pour into buttered tins.

tween him and death. Just as the
boy had given up all hope, to his in
expressible delight he saw the old
sexton hurrying along the east to-
ward the church, summoning all
his strength, Frederick gave one
scream for help which family
reached Plumm's ears. Looking up
he apparently took in the situation at
a glance, and rushed for the stair
way. 1t seemed hours to the poor
child caught in the window before he
heard the sound of Plumm's foot
steps but the sexton finally reached
him. Selling a heavy hammer, with
one tremendous blow he broke a
piece from the face of the clock.
Frederick was free and fell uncon-
scious to the floor.

A DAY OF SUNSHINE.

A day of sunshine, warm ard bright,
OF fieecy clouds, like banks of snow
OF breezes like transports in fight,
And thoughts that make the spirits

OF scented fields, and waving trees,
And Flora in her ARREST smiles;
OF babbling brooks, and hummine

And health's intoxicating wiles.
Ny head upon the fresh green grass
i gaze serenely at the sky,
And like the clouds that DER me pass
The world and sorrows filter by.
About me in the glade hear
The joyous trills of roaming birds,
Their notes are varied as the year,
And much too sweet to set to words.
Here | could rest from morn till eve.
Content without the spoils of strife,
Nor would | ever wish to leave,
So fond scene, so fair a life.
