DEITY HURRIED OVER WORK
Why West Coast Of japanese lsland
10 Rough and Dangerous Ex.
plaIned by Legend.

It is said in the Ainu folklore that
the Island Of Yezo, In Japan, was
made by two deities, a male and q fe-
male, who were the deputies OF, the
Creator. The female had the west
coast allotted to her as her portion Of
the work and to the male deity were
assigned the south and eastern parts.
They We'd with each other In their
tasks to see which should get through
first. But as the goddess was pro-
ceeding with her work she happened
to meet the sister of iOionina and in
stead Of attending OF her duties, stop
ped to have chat with her, as is the
general custom among women when
they meet. t
While they were thus talking the
time sped until the male deity, con-
tinuing to work away, nearly finished
his portion. Looking up and seeing
this, the female became very much
surprised and frightened, and in or
der to hasten matters did her work
hurriedly and in slOvenly manner.
Hence it is that the west coast Of
Yezo Is 50 rough and dangerous, says
an exchange. ~! ~. ], r

Why American Nurses Are Loved.

Much has been heard about the
splendid service. of American nurses
In France. They have worked in dan
gerous territory and under conditions
that would appall the average man.
They have had the courage to do what
they went over there to do and they
have made a grateful country their
perpetual debtor. There was so much
discipline and so much need for haste
about their work that romance has
not had much chance. Military eti-
quette does not provide that kiss
shall be given with each hot water bot
tie. Yet there is nothing so soothing
sometimes and nothing better calcu-
lated to take a patients mind away
from his aches and pains. Perhaps
the future viii bring forth the story
from France that some Of the nurses
have been decorated for distinguished
services because they knew when 1t
was proper to kiss patient and when
1t was needful to give him q dose OF
