A myth current among the Bur mese says that heavenly beings came down from the skies to the eiirth. nnd there nte Thnlesan. a particular kind of rich rice, which gradually muric them gross of habit, so that they were unable to make tlielr way back to the higher heavens again nnd had to" be come men nnd women. The Chins have a story of the Tower of Babel to account for the various clans that Inhabit the range of hills looking down on the Hay of Bengal, and .traditions of a deluge are found everywhere. The Knchlns tell a story of the pas sage over a bridge, to the afterlife, and there are many more of the kind that suggest these folk-myths come down from a long-gone past. Ex- August 17 Club Members to Have Large hlbit at County Fair From present Indications the club members will hare one of tho larg est departmental exhibits at the County Fair. Fully 60 per cent of the 300 club members have ex pressed their intentions of exhibit ing their work. The largest exhibits will probably be in the pig and sewing projects. Tho other projects of cooking, can ning, home-making, corn poultry nnd dairy herd record keeping, how ever, will be of good slzo and quality. In nearly every community the club members are beginning to take stock of their work and study where It can bo improved. In the pig clubs a little more grain Is added to the ration, tho vigorous application of soap and water is giving the hair a glossy appearance, and tho pig is being taught the gentle art of con ducting himself properly in the show ring. Tho corn club members are busy pulling weeds and Irrigat ing, and many an anxious moment is spent by tho poultry club mem bers in deciding on what birds to select for the Fair. The girls are also beginning to study where their work might be Improved. The com' petition is going to be keen and It will Indeed be excellent work that places In the prize money. Besides tho general exhibit there will be several special exhibits. The sowing club at Ontario is planning a small booth to display their doll clothes project. Tho Valley View Poultry club will have a demon stration on tho value of a balanced ration for poultry. nuviaing a Writer. I have no means of knowing whether you are patient In the pursuit of this art ; but I am Inclined to think that you are not, and that you do not discipline yourself enough. When one is Impelled to write this or that, one has still to censider: "ITow much of this will tell for what I mean? How much of it Is my own wild emotion and superfluous energy how much re mains that Is truly belonging to this Ideal character and these Ideal circum stances?' It Is in this laborious strug gle to make this distinction, and. In the determination to try It, that the road to. the correction of faults lies. Per haps I may remark, In support of the sincerity with which I write this, that I am an Impatient and Impulsive per son. myself, but that It has boon for many years the constant effort of my life to practice at my leak what I preach to you. Dlckensf The dinger and the 8ong. A song Is a great adventure Thou sands write It, tens succeed ; and when they have succeeded, Its fate still lies entirely with the singer. No one ever had It so much In his power to make the worse appear the better cause, or to refrain from so doing. The ancients placed Thamyrls and Narnda among the gods ; the moderns pay the.r coun terparts royalties. But the singer's personality Is still Incalculable In terms of canonization or of cash. That personality means all that he has been able to crowd into bis life ; and ho may still enlarge it A good way to do that Is to read all the poetry that he docs not sing, and to listen to all the music written for some other Instrument than the voice. A. II. Fox Strang-ways. Harmony of Colon. It Is a well-known fact that a pleas ing harmony of colors attracts the eye much as musical harmony pleases the ear. In order to test the har mony of color combinations, a ma chine has been devised, described and Illustrated in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, with which a colored disk Is revolved rapidly, so as to cauae the colors to merge, and this visual mix ing ef the colors gives- the same result to the eye as would the actual mixing of the colored Inks themselves.
