WOMAN'S ORIGIN.
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.

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

Ia spite of the fact, which is well
known, that the sea has receded since
ancient times, the strategical position
of the ancient pass of Thermopylae la
still immensely strong. 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.
In the treatment of piles it becomes
necessary to have the remedy put up
in such a form that it can be applied
to the parts affected. Man Zan Pile re
medy is encased in a collapsible tube
with nozzle attached. It cannot help
but reach the spot. Relieves blind,
bleeding, itching and protruding piles.
50c with nozzle guaranteed. Try it.
