THE FIRST WOMAN.
An Old Eastern Legend That Tells
How She Was Created.

The last section "Of a Finger Of the
Moon Redeemed 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, Twashtri, the
Vulcan of Hindoo mythology, created
the world But when he wished to
create woman he found he had en-
ployed 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:
He 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 softness Of the down
on the throat Of the swallow, the
harshness 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. He melted all this
and formed woman. Then he made
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 said:
my lord, my life is very solitary
since l returned this creature. l re-
member she danced before my singing.
recall how she glanced at me from
the corner Of her eye, that she played
with me, chung 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, Il do not under
stand exactly how, but I'm sure the
woman causes me more annoyance
than pleasure. l beg Of you relieve me
of her."
But Twashtri 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. ''s.s-Ts-', ',@s-;-z.>

How to Read History,

Perhaps the best way to read history
Is to take up the life of some great fig
ure that attracts our Imagination and
be drawn by that into the study of the
general stage upon which he was only
single actor. Certainly 1t Is not a
good plan to begin with those elabo-
rate documentary histories in which
you cannot see the wood for the trees.
1t is better to be wrong in few Of
your facts or even contract a bias from
some partisan historian than to lose
yourself in morass of documents,
says Success
The best histories are the widest.
II they occasionally lead you astray,
you can always correct them by the
more sober colored chronicles. Macau-
lay may have been prejudiced, and SO
may Froude, and so undoubtedly was
Carlyle; so, again, was Gibbon; yet
none the less. these are the great his
torans the historians who set you up
on the peaks of time and enable you
to see history as it lies beneath in wide
views and broad masses.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Land cannot be too rich or too mel
low for fruits.
Manure for the garden should be free
from weed seeds.
The head of tree needs to be fairly
open to admit sun and air for full
growth Of fruit.
The dahlias will never disappoint
you. Pink, white, yellow or crimson,
tall, dwarf or cactus. it is bound to
flower.
In the fall after the leaves have
dropped is generally the best time for
taking cuttings from ounces, but they
may be taken later.
Heliotrope should not be mixed with
other cut flowers in water. They de-
cay quickly and have a harmful effect
upon the other blossoms.
Myosotis (forgetmenot needs partial
shading, but not the shade of tree.
Plant among taller flowers or around
rosebushes, and it will do well.
Plenty Of yellow blossoms should be
secured for places which lack sun
shine. Yellow is good in almost every
situation and is the cheeriest of tones.
Good cultivation causes an abun-
dance of fibrous roots to be made. The
growth of any plant is largely meas
ured by the number of its fibrous
roots.

Parliament In Persia.

Among the Persians the usual mode
of punishment is the bastinado, from
which men Of the highest rank are not
exempt. 1t is inflicted with very great
severity, frequently so as to render the
sufferer almost cripple for life. The
victim Is thrown upon his face and each
foot is passed through loop of strong
cord alta ched to pole, which is raised
horizontally by men, who twisting it
round, tighten the ropes and render
the feet immovable. Two executioners
then strike the sole alternately with
switches of the pomegranate tree we'll
stepped in water to render them sup
pie A store of these switches is gen.
orally ready for use in the pond which
adjoins the courtyards of the houses Of
the great. The punishment frequently
lasts for an hour or until the unfortu-
nate victi1i faints from pain.

a Sr-aouee n,aa tells story CT Nine.
Janauschek whom she WAS prominent
star. The willy advance agent went to
Syracuse week or So before the local
theatcr opened there for the season
and proceeded to fill up the guileiess
newspaper men with the statement
that Janauschek had said that she
would open her season in that place or
not at all. Her manager wanted Chi
cago, but offered to compromise on
Boston or Philadelphia, but the ma
dame was firm.
Naturally Syracuse was delighted at
the honor. JanauSchek got pages Of
advance notices, and when the opening
night came the thenter was packed as
never before.
After the first act an ambitious re-
porter went bchind' to interview

piled powers which the people have
placed in his hands.
But the president saw that here the
vital interests of the American people
could not be served by San Juan
charge-7that the solution of this prob
lem demanded not only courage and
resolution, but also tact and infinite
patience.
And Theodore Roosevelt, while abat-
ing MO jot of resolution, was patient
and long-suffering. He demeaned him
self as became the chief magistrate of
the prudent, patient, and law-abiding
American people. Having defined the
issue Enthusiastically - having shown
the people the cause Of their suffering
he waited. He could afford to wait,
and he knew how to wait.
And he won. He won for himself and
for all the people. He won absolutely,
completely, and without conditions.
He won not by using the vast powers
of his great Office. He won by direct
ing straight at the point of resistance,
and by maintaining upon that point,
the unceasing and unrelenting pres
sure of public opinion.
No rash, hasty, or impulsive man
could have won such victory by such
means. Only cautious, patient, con-
sentative, steadfast mana man great
enough to ignore every provocation-a
man strong enough to refrain from
using his strength-could have won
such victory.

Welt has approved himself not only

olute but patient, not only fearless but
devoted to his peoples veal, as strong

AN EASY PROBLEM.
Something That should Have been
Perfectly Plain to Anybody Who
Could Figure.

Hubbard Lawton, Familiarity known
as Hub" was by common consent
the most shiftless man in Pineville.
He had been known to saw and
split" in desultory way for few
of the summer visitors, but beyond
that Hub and labor were strangers,
relates Youths Companion.
The most easy-going woman in
the town was Lucy Harmon, who
did little dressmaking when the fit
seized her; but as a rule she sat
TRANQUILITY on her front doorstep in
summer, and in her front window
during spring, autumn and winter,
doing nothing whatever, with great
contentment of mind and body.
Hub required financial aid from his
relatives every month, and it was un-
derstood that Lucy received contri-
buttons from her neighbors without
any false pride. When 1t was an
nounced by Hub that he and Lucy
were soon to be married, a plain
spoken neighbor asked pointed
question.
"How are you and Lucy expecting
to live?" she inquired. who's going
TO earn your bread and butter, Huh?
Lucy's folks nor her neighbours
won't feel any call to feed her when
she's married to an able-bodied
man"
"Why," said Hub, reproachfully, II
don't know what folks are thinking
of! Half dozen people have asked
me that same question. 1 can al
most support myself, and Lucy can
almost support herself, and should
think anybody with head for fig
gers could see that when we jine
forces there'll be something left over
for a rainy day."
