PAINTING THE WORLD.

Indian Legend Of the Way Spring
Came into Existence.
Once, long before there were men In
the world. all the earth was covered
with snow and ice.
White and frozen lay the rivers and
the seas: white aud frozen lay the
plains. The mountains too tall and
dead. ike ghosts in white gowns
There was no color except white In all
the world except In the sky. and it was
almost black. At night the stars look.
ed through 1t like angry eyes.
Then God e n the Spring down into
the world-the Spring with red lips and
curling yellow hair.
In his arms he bore sprays OF apple
blossoms and the nrst dowers-crocus.
anemones and violets. red. pink. blue.
purple. violet and yellow.
The frst animal to greet the Spring
was the white rabbit The Spring
dropped q red crocus on his head. and
ever since then all white rabbits have
had red eyes.
Then the Spring dropped q blue vie-
let on q white bird. the 6rst bird TO
greet the Spring. and that Is the way
the bluebird was made. Ever since
then It Is the 6rst bird to arrive when
the Spring comes down from heaven.
So the Spring went through the
world Wherever he tossed the leaves
from his fragrant burden the earth
became green. BE tossed the blossoms
on tho frozen seas. and the ice melted
and the nsh became painted with all
the tint Of his lowers. That il the
way the trout and the minnows and
the salmon became gaudy.
Only the high mountains would not
bow to the Spring. So their SUBMITS
remain white and dead. for they would
let the Spring paint only the sides.
The Snow owls and the white geese
and the polar bears ned from the
Spring. so they. too. remain white to
this day.

A Nacation Pest.

The most delightfully."- planned outing
in the woods may be ruined by that
vacation pest-the mosquito.
Some persons poison so dreadfully
life is a torment. and there Is always
danger Of malaria from the bites.
If you are especially poisoned by
mosquitoes, arrange to so where they
are not. Don't go in for camping OF
frequent resorts that are subject to
them.
If you will go, take with you pre-
ventives in the form of mosquito nets,
lump camphor and citronella.
In extreme cases there are head nets
that can be bought for a dollar. They
are made of fine black bobbinet that
will stand rain and washing. There
is a circular cloth piece above the net
W. hat and a yoke shaped piece at
bottom fitted to the shoulders and tied
under the arm.
For night use it is possible to buy
frames and mosquito bars to At fold

That cheerful farce known to the
public as an inquiry into the causes
Of the cost Of living" assumes more
amazing proportions day by day. Some
body or something is to blame for the
prohibitive prices which mock our In

litical economists who are not calm
enough to share the frank indifference
Of congress offer us strange and art

grown too formidable for play. says
