LEGENDS OF THE APPLE.
The Tree Has a Most Glorious Career
Through the Worlds History.

The Tree Has a Most Glorious Career
Through the Worlds History.
1t has been well pointed out that
the apple tree has the most glorious
history, in spite Of the acknowledged
might and grandeur Of the oak. Sym
bolic Of mans temptation and of
Venus love, the apple is the fruit Of
Solomon, and Hercules, and Ulysses,
and the food which ever evades the
unhappy Tantalus. The space of this
article might profitably be taken up
with the lore of the fruit that is most
benefcent to man. In the face of our
regard for the apple it is odd to read
that the angel Azrael holds it beneath
the nostrils of the dying. Not to tell
the familiar tales of the apple of Dis
cord, and the, golden apples of the Hes
perides and ATLANTA, it may yet be
interesting to recall the reason why
the apple became associated with the
Theban Hercules, who was known as
Melius. 1t appears that nee the Aso-
pus overfiowed and prevented the
bringing across of sheep to the altar
of the strong demi-god. Some sug-
gested that ''melon," the word for
sheep" was identical with mat for
apples" Thus were sacrificed apples
fitted with twigs for legs, and the
symbolic sheep became the customary
Offering.
The goddess Iduna. of the Scandina-
Wan myths, was guardian of those APP
pies which the gods ate as a precau-
ton against death. Loki, god Of strife
and spirit of evil, carried off the fruit,
and everything went wrong among
gods and men until the dwellers ia
Asgard were able to recover their
sorely needed aliment. The Druids
paid reverence to the mistletoe that
chung to the apple tree and the oak,
and on Christmas eve in Devonshire,
farmers sprinkle with cider the honor
ed tree Of Pomona and then dance
around the knotted trunk. Sir John
Vaudeville tells US that the pigmies
were nOurished by the mere scent of
the apples of Pyban. In England,
girls are known to stick sweetheart
named apple seeds on their foreheads,
the seed that sticks the longest indi-
Gates the bridegroom; and on New
Years night the Silesian girls place
apples underneath their pillows to pro
mote dreams of a husband. Most pa
thetic Of all, the hand Of more than
one dead child Of Silesia clasps an
apple with which it may play in Para.

THE PHILIPPINES.
Some Interesting Facts Furnished b,
Census.

Some Interesting Facts Furnished b.,
Census.
The census just taken by the gov
eminent of the Philippine Islands fur
nishes some interesting statements.
The enumeration was made in the
Spanish language, and the schedules
have resulted in statistics Of the civil
lied population, wild peoples, agricul.
ture, manufactures, schools, railroads,
fishing, mining, telegraphs, commerce,
transportation, insurance and banking.
The population Of the archipelago
as returned from 342 Independent isl
ands is 7,635,42 OF this number al
most 100000 are more or less civil
lied. The wild tribes form about 8
per cent Of the population. The civil
lied tribes are adherents Of the Catho-
lie Church. The Moros are Moham-
medans and the wild peoples have no
recognized religious beliefs.
The total population is a little more
than four times as great as it was
100 years ago. During the same Pc
riod that Of the United States multi
piled almost fifteen times. The excess
of birth rate over death rate in the
Philippines has been large, in spite Of
sudden and great losses as a result Of
epidemics Of various diseases.
The density Of population in the
Philippines is 81 per square mile. In
continental United States it is 90 per
square mile. The inhabitants are usu-
ally found on or near the coast, ex-
cept In the island of Luzon, where
about half of the people live in the
two rich valleys in the interior. Only
~one-seventh Of the civilized population
live inland, but the wild peoples are
confined to the interior.
More than half Of the population
can neither read nor write in any Ian
guage, and Of the 44.5 per cent able
to read less than one-half can write,
while the number able to both read
and write constitutes only one-fifth of
the population at least 10 years of
age. Only 1.5 per cent have received
a superior education.
Among civilized Fillpinos the Ro-
man Catholic religion Is almost uni
versal, and Of 1,6OS churches of all
denominations only 80 are Protestant.
The reported value Of church build
ings is 41,69S,7 no pesos. The Filipinos
demonstrate a natural aptitude and
efficiency as workmen when placed I'M
