Many Legends Treat
of Woman's Creation

Woman's first appearance has been
popular subject Of legends. The
Phoenlcian myth Of creation is found
ed on the story OF Pygmalion and
Galatea. There the first woman was
carved out OF ivory by the first man,
and then endowed with life by Aphro-
dite. says the Kansas City Star.
The Greek theory OF the creation .of
woman. according to Heslod, was that
zeus. as cruel Jest, ordered Vulcan
10 make woman out Of clay. and then
induce the various gods and goddesses
10 invest the clay doll with all their
worst qualities. the result being a
lovely thing.
The Scandlnavians say that as Odin,
VII and We. the three sons Of Bor,
were walking along the beach they
found two sticks OF wood. one OF ash
and one OF elm. Sitting down, the
gods shaped man and woman out of
these sticks, whiting the woman
from the elm and called her Ernla.

Busy Ant by No Means
a Nuisance in Burma

Most people regard ants as nui-
sance. especially in a garden or at a
picnic, but the natives of Burma have
found a use for them.
This country grows and. exports
sandal-wood, one of the most valuable
and beautiful timbers In the world.
The greater part of every tree felled
is useless. however. for only the
fragrant scented heart has any com
mercial value, and to transport the
whole log would make even that not
worth the cost of removal.
SO the trees. after being stripped Of
their branches. are allowed to lie
where they have fallen. The soft.
sappy wood. which Is useless in COM
merce. attracts the billions of ants
who lnfest the forest. and to whom 1t
is tit-bit. In helping themselves the
ants help the sandal-wood merchant.
for they leave the hard heart of the
trunk stripped of all its worthless in
tegument. and thus do for nothing the
work of many human laborers.

Busting of an Old One

shook the room. Some way or other,
after that cheer. he never could get
some OF the guests quieted down again.
A half dozen or so of them insisted In
talking loudly among themselves. The
speaker could scarcely make himself
heard. All az once. one man who
had had more than enough to drink
and had fallen asleep, began to snore
loudly. There were laughs. and the
speaker looked greatly annoyed.

Norns in Mythology

gods and men. Every day they drew

Originally there appears to have
been but one nOrn-Urth-and her
character was conceived In gloomy
night, making her often equivalent TO
death doom. Later two others were
added. Two of these gave the bless
ings. the third the Ills of life. In the
legend of Sleeping Beauty the norns
are represented as thirteen women.
Usually they were conceived as spin
ners. weaving the fabric OF fate.
Besides these great norns there
were many inferior ones, both good
and bad; for. says the Prose Edda,
when man Is born there Is morn

authority tells us that the unequal
destinies of men in the world are at

of the norns. These lesser norns cor
