Brahma mace up hi> u::nd to make the world and a man and woman. He made the world, and he mace the man and then the woman and put then: en the island of Ceylon. According to the account it was the most beautiful island which man can conceive?such birds, such song>. such flowers and. such verdure! And the branches of UCC? ncic u??uii?v\4 u?.?i the wind >uept through thorn every tree was a thousand aeolian harps. Brahma when he put them there said, "Let them have a period of courtship, for it is my desire and will that true love should forever precede marriage." Then they had their courtship, with the nightingale singing and the stars shining and the ilowers blooming, and they fell in love. Imagine that courtship?no prospective fathers or mothers in law, no prying and gossiping of neighbors, nobody to say, "Young man, how do you expect to support her?" Not ring of that kind. They were married bv the supreme Brahma, and he said to them: "Remain here. You must never leave this island." Well, after a little while the man said. "I believe 111 look about a little." He went to the northern extremity of the island, where there was a little narrow neck ot land connecting it with the mainland, and the devil, who is always playing pranks with us, produced a mirage, and when he looked over to the mainland such hills and vales, such dells and dales, such mountains crowned with snow, such cataracts clad in bows of glory, did he see there that he went back and told his wife: "The country over there is a thouaand times better than this. Let us migrate." She, like every othei woman that ever lived, said: "Let well enough alone. We have all we want. Let us stay here." But he said, "No; let us go." Sc he followed him, and when thev came to this narrow neck of land ho took her on his back like a gentle man and carried her over. But the moment they got over they heard n crash and, looking back, discovered that this narrow neck of land had fallen into tiie sea. The mirage had disappeared, and there was naught but rocks and sand, ant then the supreme Brahma cursed them both to the lowest hell. Then it was that the man spoke "Curse me, but curse not her. 11 was not ber fault. It was mine." The supreme Brahma said, "1 will save ber. but not thee." And then she spoke out of her fullness of love, out of a heart in which there was love enough to make al of her daughters rich in holy aflee tion, and said: "If thou wilt noi spare him, spare neither me. I d< not wish to live without him. J love him.' Then the supreme Brahma said, "1 will spare you both and watch over you and your chil dren forever."?Kobert G.

STREE COATED WITH FOX FiRE. Owls That Show a Phosphorescent Glow In the Dark. We are told by some students there is e. species of owl that has a phosphorescent giow in the dark i and that it is a rare uird. There may he such a bird, but a careful investigation on the part of I a number of persons who have made such tilings a careful study has re- i vealed the fact that certain owls and even bats and other creatures that are known to roost in old hollow trees that are in a certain stage < of decay, producing that peculiar phosphorescent condition so often i witnessed, and coming in contact ! with tlie matter that makes the glow, the feathers or outer coating j i of the creatures become saturated j with the luminous matter and on ^ ? % ? ? t or V% * o rrif'A -1 Hri 1:111 Tit UilUlp Lli^ilco V xvsx n? u uiiiiiuMk < glow, such as is often seen on old ! stumps, decaying logs and in some i localities on ledges of limestone l that protude from the hillside. On a number of occasions the 1 writer has known persons to be bad} ly frightened by coming suddenly ! j upon a mass of what is known to ! many as fox fire. It is more frequently seen during the summer months, during or shortly after a ; 6hower. The brilliancy of the glow j , will depend much on the location, ' ! the temperature, and sometimes i much is due to the person's imagi- I nation. ' I This same glow is often seen on I small animals and a number of in6ects. The glowworms are quite common in various sections of the 1 world, and in some localities insbcts have a brilliant glow coming from ; ' beneath their wings. The fireflies i I # O or lightning bugs are the most com1 j mon in the United States. / ' j In some countries certain vegeta : ' ble growths are known to give forth I 16uoh a glow, and it has been hinted 1 , that some of the crops harvested and stored in barns have the same * . properties and under certain condi( i tions produce not onlv the glow, but actual flame, resulting in what ' is known as spontaneous combustion, destroying the barns and con' tents.?Chicago' ltccord-Herald. > A Welsh Legend. i In Wales there is a iegend of [ Irish smugglers who arrived at } I 1 Llanddona many years ago in a > boat without rudder or oars.
