ANIMAL LEGENDS.
The Buzz Of the Mosquito and the
Swallows Forked Tail,

Swallows Forked Tail.
In Palestine, where several religions
exist side by side, legends have crossed
aud intermingled in such q way as to
make distinct folklore. A collection
OF stories from "Folklore In the Holy
Land" by the Rev. j. Il. Hanauer,
contains many Bible legends in new
forms and with humorous additions
Oge explains how the mosquito came
% buzz and why the swallows tail ia
foDked. \,
After the foil of man the SERPENT
missed the reward which the evil one
had promised him-namely, the sweet
est food in the world. An angel was
appointed to assign to every creature
his food and dwelling place. The SER
pent asked for human flesh. But Adam
protested and pointed out shrewdly
that as nobody had ever tasted human
desh 1t was impossible to maintain
that it was the most luscious of food.
thus he gained years respite for the
race.
Meanwhile the mosquito was sent
round the world with Instructions to
taste and report upon the blood Of ev-
cry living creature. At the end of
twelve months it was to report in open
court the result of its researches.
Now, Adam had friend IN that sa-
cred bird the swallow, which annually
makes Il pilgrimage to Mecca and all
holy places. This bird shadowed the
mosquito oil the twelve months until
the day of the decision. Then as the
insect was on its way to the court the
swallow met it openly and asked what
flesh and blood it had found sweetest.
MANS" replied the mosquito. y
"What?" asked the swallow. "Please
say 1t again, for am rather deaf"
On this the mosquito opened its
mouth wide to shout, and the swallow
darted in its bill and plucked out the
insects tongue.
They then proceeded to the court,
where all living creatures were assem-
bled to hear the decision. On being
asked the outcome Of its Investigation
the mosquito, which could now only
buzz, was unable to make itself under.
stood, and the swallow, pretending to
he Its spokesman, declared that the
insect had said that 1t had found the
blood of the frog the most delicious.
Sentence was therefore given that
frogs. not men, should be the serpent's
food.
In its rage and disappointment the
serpent darted forward to destroy the
swallow. But the bird was too quick;
the serpent succeeded only in biting
some feathers out Of the middle Of the
swallows tail.
This is why swallows have forked
tails.

EASY PHYSICAL CULTURE.
How One May Promote Good Health
Without Expense,

How One May Promote Good Health
Without Expense.
First of all, there is the sensible use
OF the odd moments of the day. For
example, l must 80 out to my work in
the city; l must get up from my chair
after or at intervals during my work; /
must so upstairs. Here are the oppor.
tunities:
During the wash can rub myself
well all over my skin. Having used
the warm water and soap aud warm
water again, can dip my hands in
cold water and then give my skin q
capital friction with the palms Of my
hands. This will afford excellent ex-
erctse for the arms and shoulders and.
when l stoop, for the trunk muscles.
1t will clean me, will help to harden
and invigorate me and will make nv
hands and my whole body glow de-
lightfully. 1t will need scarcely any
extra time.
When 60 out into the street, and
indeed whenever 60 out, can take
two extra deep and full breaths of
fresh air in through the nostrils. And
I can repeat this wonderfully healthy
practice whenever wait Mt a crossing,
whenever wait at all, and just before
go into any building from the street,
and also before. any important work
or Interview. and, Of course, the first
thing in the morning and the last thing
at night. Here there Is not one mo.
ment of extra time demanded, but
there is so much effective but easy
physical culture that at the end of O
year the improvement in the breathing
capacity, the endurance, the vigor, the
complexion and even in the control of
the temper may be almost beyond be.

Fight Against Hansbrough.
In an interview In Grand Forks Sen
a,or Hansbrough said:
II expec: to be the high man for SEN
ator. but no man will get 40 per cent.
The people are waking up to the fact that
the fight is centered on me because l Will
not bow To corporations and mOnOpOlies.
They are taking an interest in this con-
test I have all the corporations against
me because / have been Roosevelt friend.
They are Conzratuating themselves that
they have got rid of Roosevelt. and they
are going to try to kill off all the men VINO
believe he does rs to preserve the
Senate of the United States in the inter-
ests of the monOpOlieS.
Hansbrough formerly had the backing
of the stawart machine. but some time
prior To last October there was break
between Mckenzie and Hansbrough. Jus;
what caused the break is subject of dis
pute. Mckenzie claims that he gave his
support to Little because he thought
Hansbrough. having served three terms.
had held the senatorship long enough and
another man should be given a chance.
He also asserts that HanSbrOugh prom
ised when he was last elected to retire in
favor of Little at the end of his present
term. Hansbrough denies this statement.
and his supporters claim that the reason
for Mckenzies opposition is that Mcken-
zie could not manage Hansbrough as he
desired.
Whatever the reason for the break. it
came. and as result HansbrOugh is run
ming as an independent and is putting up
q very aggressive campaign.
OF the two insurgent or progressive
candidates Marshall has the Endorsement
of the regular insurgent organization;
which he secured at the famous Grand
Forks conference last fall. but both he
and johnson are receiving the support of
the rank and file of the progressives.
