AN ANCIENT LEGEND.
Creation Of the Cocoanut, the Wakwak
and the Palm Tree.

and the Palm Tree.
According to the opinion of the old
historians and the commentators OF
the Koran. God created from the re-
mainder of the clay of which Adam
was made the kullsecr. or cocoa tree,
which is found in abundance in the
Indian islands. II produces nut
which is brought TO Anatolia and
Roomili. The interior and oily part
is nourishing and fortlfying food. The
she'll is worked into spoons and cups
Of the size of a mans head. Ii Is n
round black nut on which all the
parts of mans head may be seen
mouth. nose. eyebrows. eyes. hair and
whiskers- before it was formed from
Adams clay. 4 wonderful sight!
From the same clay God created
also the wakwak. found in India. the
fruit of which resembles mans
head. which. shaken by the wind. emits
The sound of wakwak.
Finally was created also the palm
tree from the remainder of Adam :
clay at Kufa. near the water Tinnoor
This is said TO be the reason why the
palm trees of Kufa. Medain and ON
maun are straight and upright. like
the stature of n man. If you cut its
branches It does not only no harm to
It. but grows even more. like the hair
and beard Of men. but If you cut of
the head Of the palm tree IT gives a
reddish Juice like blood. and the tree
perishes like n man whose head is cut
off.-EvIia Effendl. Travels"

Monster Struggles Desperately to Free
Itself From Shoals Into Which
High Tide Carried It.

Atlantic City, N. IA 60-foot whale,
weighing seven or eight tons, churned
the sea into foam off Fourth street,
Ocean City, the other morning as it
struggled desperately to free Itself
from the shoals into which he had
been carried at high tide by the
waves. Spray was dashed up 80 and
40 feet as the whale whipped the sea
with sweeps of his powerful tail, and
for three hours, while the tide was
falling. hundreds of persons watched
the mammals dying struggles.
Surfmen from the Ocean City life
saving station rushed their craft into
the water and cautiously ventured
near. but rowed away in fright as the
monster threshed about wildly. They
covered close until the whale weak
ened from his struggles.
Then, as the whale, after a last des-
perate CONFUSION, surrendered. the
government men roped him. He was
dead when the men anchored his car
cass to the sands to prevent the sea
at high tide from wrestling their prize
from them.
Low tide at noon enabled the
throngs to crowd about the whale and
photograph and examine the giant OF

Walla Walla, Wash.-When the

only of the strange actions Of the

showing such signs of anger and sus-
picion as to require the service of an
usher to quiet him.
The dog paid no heed to the earlier
pictures showing human life and &C.

HIS WEDDING FEE BELATED
Clergyman Receives $40 Check TWEEN
ty Years After Performing Cere-
rmony-Was Short of Funds.

New York.-Rev. Horace D. Ferris,
now pastor of a church in North Salem
and twenty years ago in charge of a
congregation at Quogue, l.. L., has just
received a fee of 500 for a wedding
that he performed at Quogue twenty
years ago. The couple whom he mar
ried are now living in Manhattan. At
that time of the marriage the bride
groom said he was short of funds and
asked the minister to wait for his fee,
promising to send it as soon as he
could.
Mr.. Ferris forgot all about the we'd
ding long ago. He "a astonished a
few days ago to receive a check for
500, accompanied by a letter express
ing the writer's regret at having kept
him waiting SO long. 1t was only by
consulting his old records that the
clergyman was able to recall the cere-
mOny.

WOMEN AS T|PPLERs
British ReformerS Present Some
Startling Facts.
Most Remarkable Development of All
Is Way in Which Those From
Middle Class Patrcnize the
Public Houses.

London.-Once more the ultra tenn
perance folk of England are appalled,
by the growth of the drinking habit
among society women" and as if his
were not bad enough the Band Of
Hope conference at Swansea is fairly
aghast at the increase of tipping
among women of the middle classes.
Samuel Manger. one time postmas-
ter general of Australia, while depior-
Ing the fact that the society woman
drinks, says that as a rule she is care
ful-not from any particular morality,
but as a matter of expediency and to
preserve her looks-and that, more
over, she usually confines herself to
choice wines and liquors. 1t is the
middle class m who has become
the dram drinker."
Quoting the vicar Of a select resi-
dental London suburb. Mr.. Manger
declares the reverend gentleman said:
IF only you could see into the draw
lng-rooms of my well-to-do parishion-
ers you would find in IS per cent. of
them women, in many cases young
girls, sitting round playing bridge.
smoking and drinking whisky. and
soda.
10 n any restaurant patronized
by the middle classes" said Mr.. Man
ger, land you will see well-dressed
ONE and even young girls drinking
spirits. not only at dinner. but at
luncheon"
AS If this were not sufi GENTLY
shocking, the announcement is made
that the most remarkable develop
ment OF all is the way in which mid
dle-class women patronize public
houses" In London We are told the
womenkind of even professional and
business men make free use of the
pubs" while thirty years ago the
upper middle class woman rarely
touched wines, and spirits not at all,
and would have been ashamed of her,
self if seer in a public house.
According to the reformers, this re-
markable change in the customs and
tastes Of the middle class women is
the outgrowth of the practice of din
ing at restaurants. Society set the
fashion of restaurant meals and the
middle class women followed their ex-
ample, finding in whisky and soda at
he pub" a convenient medium be-
tween the expense of wine and the
plebeanism of beer.
The hotel smoking lounge, too, we
are told. has made dram drinkers of
many women. Formerly, according
to the temperance folk. if a man stay
ing at a hotel wanted to smoke he
went to the smoking room. but now he
joins the ladies in the lounge and If
he feels inclined to have a drink he
naturally asks his fair companions to
join him, and the modern woman
makes nc bones about asking for a
peg" or a whisky and"

CANADA'S CENSUS
A THIRTY-TWO PER CENT IN
CREASE IN THE PAST TEN
YEARS.

That Canada has come rapidly to
the front in the past ten years is am
ply shown in the results of the census
recently made public. The population
Of the Dominion is now placed at
7,O81,S69, which with outlying points
to be heard from, may bring it up to
IN millions as compared with 5,371,-
315 in 1901. Though these figures are
large, they do not present a total as
large as was expected but they do
show a greater increase of percentage
in population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
by the Republic vas 24%; the per-
centage of increase in Canada for the
decade is 1920. Thus it will be seen
that the provinces west of the lakes,
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping Of grain and the Valleys of
British Columbia capable of producing
fruit with which to supply it's neigh
boring provinces east Of the noun
tains, have attracted numbers, which

the expectations of ten years ago.
Upon the prairies of the ten years
ago there was but a spare scattering
of people; but today, no matter in
which way you go, take any direction,
and you find homes and farms and
good ones too, occupied by the very
best class of people in good sized set
Elements with plenty of room for five
or six times as many more. The pop
ulation of Alberta is set down at 372,-
919, as compared with 1902 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453 sos as compared
with 1920 in 1901; Manitoba's 454,-
.S91 compares well with it's 255,211 in
a901; and SO does that of British Co.
.iumbia-362, 768 as against 1867 in
1901; but in a territory as large as
this a population of 1,643, 900 is little
more than discernibie in point of num-
bers. The work through it has been
great. Look at the towns that have
with 1876, 900; Vancouver with upwards
of 100000; Calgary with $4,000; Ed
monitor, Regina, Saskatoon; Leth-
bridge; Medicine Hat, Moosejaw,
splendid cities-none better any
where; we'll maintained and equipped.
These have come with existence and
been built as they have been built by
reason of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed. The population is scarcely dis
cernible. A population ten or twelve
times that shown by the recent
censu could be easily maintained in
even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly a wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
to the development of the west will
enrich the last. This is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done in the past ten years is but a
beginning. The next decade will
show a far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding vel
come the progressive and industrious
citizen. The invitation is a standing
one. At the forthcoming land eXposi-
ton in Chicago, Canada will have one
of the best exhibits of farm products
that has eve been made and it will
be well worth while inspecting it and
getting information from those who
may be in charge.

Swedish inventors Device Makes Or

Formidable In Battle.

claims to have invented a new auto
matte rifle which may do away with
machine guns on the field of battle,
while the ordinary infantry soldier,
armed with this weapon, would be-

The new invention has not only
been applied to rifles, but to fowling
pieces and other weapons. AS regards
rifles, Mr.. Svenson has invented two
kinds of appliances, one of which can
be used as an ordinary rifle and an
other as a machine gun. Mr.. Svenson
claims that his weapon can at will be
