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 bordering 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
cllned, seized his shimmering spear
and plunged it into the black and
seething fSSd. Pulling it up again. he
discovered seven salt drops on its 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, I'M
surpassed in its beauty; the quinquan-
gular Tsikousi. sado, rich in copper
and gold; Yki, one of the pillars Of
heaven? and 0ko, surrounded by three
satellites.
Such was the birth Of Japan, Of that
curious land Of Eusiyama, with its
amiable population of artist artisans,
its graceful teabouses, It's glistening
silks. its grotesque dwarf trees, it's
white cranes and dreamy lotus ponds.

AERIAL PoLo.
A Queer Kind of Amusement ON n
Pacific Ocean Island.


Pacific Ocean IsInnd.
Writing on Our Equatorial Islands
In the Century, James d. Hague says:
1t became an amusing diversion t,
oyertmn the large Hat stones bSncati
which the rats We're hiding in soli,
masses and watch them as "a y seam
pered in all directions, pursued and
quickly snatched up by tAt ul,.4-o wan
hawks. These crafty birds were apt tc
learn that the appearance of Il man
walking on the island, especially with
a dog, meant rats for them, and any
one thus going forth was usually fol
lowed by a lowering flock, ready and
learned to expect. A rat brought to
hand by the dog was quickly tossed in
air, where the birds We're ready to
snatch it, sometimes with a contest on
the wing fer the disputed possession.
One form of this sport, a sort of aerial
polo which seemed to be as good fun
for the birds as for the observers, con-
sisted in tossing two rats into the air
at the same moment, not singly and
apart, but tied together with about
six feet of strong Irvine.
Instantly the birds made a dash for
the rats, and the successful winner of
the first prize went sailing off with
one rat In his bill and the other swing
ing in the air beneath until snatched
by the second winner, when, after
quick, sharp struggle and a taut strain
ON the cord, the bird with the weaker
hold was compelled to let go. This
then went on as a continuous perform
ance, with somewhat Jonah-lille but
rapidly repeated disappearances and
temperatures of the little rats, swal-
lowed and reluctantly dsgorged by
the birds In quick succession until the
flock, thoroughly exhausted by their
impetuous fight and extraordinary
exercise, alighted on the ground for a
short truce, when the two temporary
Stockholders would be found sitting
face to face, keonly cying each other
from opposite ends of the string still
connecting them, each anxiously on
the sharp lookout for sudden jerks and
unpleasant surprises, while all the 9TH
er pursuers gathered around in a ring,
waiting for the two prize birds to fly.
The general aspect of all participants
seemed to verify the familiar adage
that the pleasure is not in the game
but in the chase.

AN ENTERPRIsINc FIRM.
Brobston, Fendig & Co., Hard Workers
For Brunswick.


1t is always a pleasure to the Newf
to chronicle the success of a firm wac
have contributed in every way tha
energy, perseverance and brains car
to the upbuilding of the city of Bruins
and through whose efforts largely. this
city is one of the best advertised il
the country and is looked upon ana
recognized as one OF the most pro-
gressive.
Brobston, Fendig e Co., whose
names are at once connected with all
that stands for progress and enter
prise, are probably the most extensive
real estate dealers in this section of
the country and their operations ex-
tend all over the southern states, hav-
ing pulled" off some OF the largest
deals ever made In the south.
They make a speciality of timber
lands and now have magnificent tracts
both in this state and in FLORIDA. They
also have a number of exceptionally
fine turpentfne locations. which they
will offer at very attractive figures.
In connection with their other large
business, they are now interested in
the town of Douglas and under their
auspices q mammoth sale of city lots
will occur there on October %, at
which 600 handsome city lots of that
place will go from the block. On this
occasion a through train will be run
from Brunswick to Douglas VIA the
B. & B. and the people of this city
and intermediate points will nave an
opportunity Of attending the sale,
which promises to be one of the most
interesting in the history of Coffee
county.
Douglas is one of the coming little
cities of the wire grass and this is
good opportunity to invest there.
Messrs. Brobston, Fendig e. Co, are
also interested in many other deals
along Industrial lines and the very
fact that their names are associated
with a transaction, at once gives re-
liability to the matter.
They are wide awake progressive
people and the News wishes them the
success and happiness that they de-
serve.

Cooks and housekeepers have a no.
bier mission than they as a class seem
to be aware of. 1t is that of feeding
the human being and keeping him in
health and good working condition. A
poorly fed man is likely to be misera-
Bile. Few if any of US are able to rise
above conditions.
"a sick man, sir" said Or. Johnson,
"fs always a scoundrel." The language
is perhaps somewhat strong and lack
ing in charity, but 1t contains a good
grain of truth. The dyspeptic, who sees
the world given over to evil and daily
growing worse, is very likely to think
himself unable to swim against the cur
rent and TO drift to disaster. eve
are saved by hope but without good
digestion faith, hope and charity are
almost impossible.

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

Laughter a. = stomach Care 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
a condition that fayors worry. There
is thus established a vicious circle
which tends to perpetuate itself, each
element augmenting the other.
1t is necessary to secure a cheerful,
wholesome atmosphere for the dys.
peptic He should eat his meals at
table where there is good fellowship
and where funny stories are told. He
should himself make a 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
" and seriously collect funny para
graphs from the press, and at first in
terjeet them systematically during lulls
i'll 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-
ton. 1t stirs up all the abdominal
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

ORIGIN OF the KISS.

The Greek Story OF tlfe Way In
Which 1t Came Into Being.
kissing is usually accepted as an
agreeable fact, and itsA theory and his
tory are ignored but if,k&ssing did not
begin with Adam :and> Eve it began
with the beautiful, young Greek shep-
herdess who found an opal on one of
the hills Of Greece and, wishing to
give it TO n youthful shepherd whose
hands were busy with his flock, let
him take it from her lips with his own,
says Science Siftings: Thus the kiss
was invented, and perhaps the popular
superstition against the opal may be
traced back to the same incident, for
OSCILLATION has wrought great tragedies
In the worlds history.
kissing was once an act of religion.
The nearest friend Of a dying person
performed the right of receiving his
soul by a kiss, supposing that it es-
capped through his lips at the moment
of expiration. 1t Is said that kissing
was first introduced into England by
royalty. The British monarch Worth
germ gave a banquet in honor of his
Scandinavian allies, at which Rowena,
the beautif.S daughter of Hengist, was
present. During the proceedings, after
pressing a trimming beaker to her
lips, she saluted the astonished and de-
lighted monarch with kiss after the
manner of her people"
The most honorable royal kiss on rec
ord is that which Queen Margaret of
France in the presence of the whole
court one day imprinted on the lips Of
the ugliest man in the kingdom, Alain
Charter, whom she found asleep. To
those around her she said, 81 do not
kiss the man, but the mouth that has
uttered so many charming things"
