A HINDU LEGEND.
How the First Man and the First Woman
Lost the Garden of cden.
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. Inger

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

< 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. They >
were looked upon, according to the j
I Irish custom of sending malefac[
tors to a sea doom in this plight, as
; outlaws. However, they had been
. allowed to land, and a spring of i
c water bursting forth in the sand at '
the place was taken as a sign of j
[' their right to a refuge. But they I
i 1 tit -rrtnni/1 Welsh 'Die men I
t in iv!'.?
5 lived by smuggling, the women bv |
i witchcraft. It was not possible to i
[ overcome the smugglers in a fray, ;
.! for each carried about with him a j
t black fly tied in a knot of his ker- j
> chief, and the moment the knot
[ was undone the fly flew at the eyes
5, of the opponents and blinded them,
t If the Llanddona witches attended
. a market and bid for anything no
. | one ventured to bid against them.
