The Id Story as It Is Told In San.krit Legend. Tradition says there was a scarcity of solid elements at the time of her creation. At the begtnniu? of time Twashtrl, the Vulcan of the Hindoo mythology, created the world, but when he wished to create a woman he found that he had employed all his material in the creation of man. There did not re main one solid element. Then Twash trl, perplexed, fell into a profound med itation. He roused himself as follows: lie took the roundness of the moon, the undulations of the serpent, the In twining of climbing plants, the trem bling of the grass, the slenderness of the rose vine and the velvet of the flower, the lightness of the leaf and the glance of the fawn, the gayety of the sun's rays and tears of the mist. tne mooMcaney oc tm inaa and tn timidity of tb haw, tb Tartty of G peacock and th aoftnM of th dowa on ttia throat of the iwallov, the har4 Hssa of tls diamond, tba tweet fiaror of honey and to cruKy of th tir, fto warmth of Or, tha chill of snow, the chattar of the Jay and tha cooing of the turttodora. He waited all theae and formed a woman. Then ba made a present of her to man. Eight daya later the man earae to Twashtrl and tald: "My lord, the creature yow gate ma poisons my axlitence. She chatters without rest, tha takes all my time, she laments for nothing at all and Is always 111." And Twashtrl receded the woman again. But eight days later the man came again to the god and said: "My lord, my life Is Tery solitary since I returned this creature. I re member she glanced at me from the corner of her eye, and she played with me, clung to me." And Twashtrl returned the woman to him. Three days only passed, and Twashtrl saw the man coming to him again. "My lord," said he, "I do not under stand exactly how, but I am sure the woman causes me more annoyance than pleasure. I beg of you to relieve me of her." But Twashtrl cried, "Go your way and do your best!" And the man cried, "I cannot live with her!" "Neither can you live without her," replied Twashtrl. And the man was sorrowful, mur muring: "Woe is me! I can neither live with her nor without her." Chica ' go Becord-Herald. AaelMt Tkcrmp7la.

The alterna tive route by Deleghl, which crosses the hills a mile and a half north of the springs by well engineered slgzags, Is equally capable of defense and leads Into a country of a most difficult char acter. Either pass might be held in definitely by 5,000 men. The coast road Is absolutely commanded from the heights so that a comparatively small force would render It impassable, while the flat lowland lying near the sea Is marshy and intersected by dikes.
