The Japanese believe in more myth
ical creatures than any other people on
the globe, civilized or savage. Among
these are mythical animals without
any remarkable peculiarities of con-
formation, but gifted with supernatu-
is said to turn MS white ms a polar bear
on the date Of his one thousandth
birthday They also believe in Il spe-
cies of fox which If he lives to be fifty
years old without having been chased
by dog transforms itself into a beau
tiful woman This same fox. if he can
manage TO live for a century, gains ad
ditional powers. such as becoming n
wonderful wizard. etc. When he lives
to be 1000 years Old, he becomes
celestial fox" with nine golden tails,
and has the power of going to heaven
and returning whenever he chooses.
These Japs also believe in a multi
tude OF animals distinguished by their
monstrous size or by the multiplication
of their numbers. Among these are
serpents 500 feet long and large
enough to swallow an elephant, boxes
with eight legs, monkeys with four
ears and seven tails; fishes with ten
heads attached to one body, the flesh
of this last monster being a sure cure
for boils, bites of poisonous serpents,
hydrophobia etc.

SnpOIeOnEcr.

In translation OF two folk tales
about Napoleon. one from the French
and the other the Russian, George Ken
nan says that Napoleonder is the Rus
sian peasants name for the emperor.
1t is not quite clear why he has adopt
ed 1t. Possibly the final syllable der
has been added because to the ear of
the peasant Napoleon seems incom-
plete. as "Alexan' would sound to us
without the der"
The point of view of the two nation
alities differs amazingly. The French
peasant regards Napoleon as Il great
leader and conqueror, aided, If not di-
rectly. sent, by God TO show forth the
power and glory Of France.
The Russian peasant more thought
full by nature as well as less excitable
and combative, admits that the con-
queror was sent to earth by God to
illustrate the divine nature of sympa-
thy and pity through the cruelty of
war. Both are convinced of his super
natural origin. The Frenchman be-
lieves that he was led by guiding
star. The Russian argues that he was
created by the devil, and that God,
having given him soul, to punish the
Russian people for their sins, then
made him man by inspiring him with
compassion

r. This the American wifer

But the American wife? Henry
James has summed up the American
wife in just one sentence. He says,
"The American wife knows nothing of
her husbands affairs, except that they
IRE of not the slightest consequence"
This is both epigrammatic and exactly
true The American wife has quite
a genuine affection for her husband.
Even after years of marriage have
gone by she thinks of him with IN
affected friendliness. He is so useful.
She credits him with almost all the
virtues, except perhaps the virtue Of
being interesting, and she overlooks
that one defect of his with charitable
liberation. She sees him come and
so each day with clocklike regularity.
She vaguely knows what his profes-
sion or vocation is. She thinks better
of him if it is profession or vocation
that is generally regarded as quite
creditable But this is practically all
she knows or cares about it-Ainslees

The gang collectively and individual

They moved down on the newcomer
and shot the pipe from his mouth, the
hat off his head and the heels off his
boots. They had expected to see him
slide off the steps and break for the
hillside when the first bullet whistled
through his hair. but he didn't move.
He sat there until the fusillade had
ceased and the jokers were wondering
IL he was not an old hand in disguise
and then quietly said. Much obliged
for your welcome; it's as good as bring

The crowd held brief consultation.

stock Grower. Want sntistic..

A measure to provide by law for
gathering vital statistics on the live
stock industry in the United States by
the establishment of a bureau that
would keep close watch of changes
taking place is being urged by the Ma
tional Live Stock association.
There are two points on which relia-
BILE information is very desirable this
season. For example there has been
wholesale slaughter of cows and
heifers, and II is possible that this
may result in scarcity of breeding cat
tie. If the exact status of this point
could be determined, breeders would
know just what to do. At present al
most nothing is known in regard to the
supply and demand for meat cattle.
The country might be on the verge of
a shortage, and no one could say such
4 shortage exists until it was actually
here. The markets are controlled by
the visible supply from day to day, and
farmers may sell their stock at panic
prices when the actual conditions do
not Justify so doing. More than S,000,-
900 farmers and stock raisers are in
terested in live stock statistics.
