THE MOSQUITOES BUZZ.


In Palestine, where several religions
exist side by side. legends have crossed
and intermingied in such way as to
make distinct folklore A collection
OF stories from Folklore IN the Holy
Land" by the Rev. J. T.. Banauer, con-
tains many Bible legends In new forms
and with humorous additions. One ex-
plains how the mosquito came to buzz
and why the swallows tail is forked-
After the fall 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
flesh. it was impossible TO maintain
that II was the most luscious Of food
Thus be gained years respite for the
race.
Meanwhile the mosquito was sent
round the world with instructions 10
taste and report upon the blood OF ey-
cry living creature. At the end OF
twelve months IL 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 a pilgrimage TO Mecca and all
holy places This bird Swallowed the
mosquito all the twelve months, until
the day OF the decision. Then. as the
insect was on It's way TO the court, the
swallow met IL openly and asked what
nesh and blood Il had found sweetest
Mans" replied the mosquito.
-Whatsv 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 10 the court
where all living creatures were assem-
bIed TO hear the decision. On being
asked the outcome OF It's investiga-
tons. the mosquito. which could now
only buzz. was unable TO make itself
understood. and the swallow. pretend
ing to be It's spokesman. declared that
the insect had said that il 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 daried 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

ferior Position and Abruzzi Is Deter
mined TO Persuade King to Sanction
Unrestricted Marriage.
Rome. April 6.-The Duke OF the
Abruzzi arrived here Sunday and went
TO the Quirinal. where he was greeted
warmly by the royal family. He had a
long conference with the king. but the
result OF the meeting has not been
learned.
All the papers published the picture
OF Miss Elkins.
A prominent official Of the royal
household says the duke will plead
his own cause. and will have to over.
come opposition and prejudice on
every side. He said;
"Abruzzi never attempted to hide his
admiration for Miss Elkins. and on his
return from America on the steamship
Narese ne spoke OF his intended mar.
riage TO all OF his relatives. but every
body thought that his admiration was
not OF a lasting character The king
wishes him to remain faithful to the
traditions Of his house and to keep UP
its prestige by means Of the nobility
in its domestic alliances. Hence il is
not true that he is willing to grant
Miss Elkins all the rights Of royal
princess.
The duke realizes that the opposi
ton Of the king constitutes an in
surmountable obstacle to his mar
risge to Miss Elkins. and he is con
WINGED that the only possible solution
would be a morganatic marriage Be
fore the duke went to America in Feb
ruary he discussed the marriage with
the king. who consented TO grant Miss
Elkins a princely title. which would
be just beneath that OF royal prin
cess. and hence the marriage would
not be a strictly morganatic one Miss
Elkins refuses TO become the wife oil
the duke unless she acquires by mar
rage the fun rights and standing OF a
royal princess and equal rank with
that Of her husband and the wives o.
other cousins Of the king So the duke
has now come back TO Italy deter
mined to persuade the king TO sane
tion the marriage without any restric
tons.
The above information has the ap-
pearance OF being genuine and II tai
lies with the gossip prevailing among
the encourage Of King Victor En-
manuel and Queen Margherita II IS a
well-known fact that the king opposes
the marriage but on the other hand he
is willing to allow its celebration pro
vided Miss Elkins does no; become 4
