How the First Man amd the First Woman Were Deprived of That Paradise----What Brahma Did. Brahma made up ms mma to make the world and a man and woman. He made the world, and he made the man and then the woman end put them on the island of Ceylon. Ae cording to the account it was the most beautiful island which man can conceive--such _ birds, such songs such flowers and such verdure! And the branches df trees were so - ed that when the wind swept throug! them "every free was a thousand aeolian harps. Brahma when he put them 'there said, "Let them have a 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 flowers blooming, and they fell in love. Tmagine that courtship--no prospective fathers or mothers in law, no prying and gos. siping of neighbors, nobody to say, "Young man, how do you expect to support her?" Nothing of that kind. They were married by the supreme bh Brahma, and he. said to them: "Re- main here. You must néver leave this island." Well, after a little while the man said, "I believe I'll look about a little." He went to the northern extremity of the island, where there was a little narrow neck of land connecting it with the mainland, and the devil, who is slways playing pranks with us, produced a mirage, and when he looked over to the mainland such hills and wales, such dells and dales, such mountains crowned with snow, duch cataracts clad in bows of glory, did he see there that he went back and told his wife: "The country over there is a thousand times better than this. Let us migrate." She, like every other 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." B she followed him, and when they came to this narrow neck of land he took her on his back like a gentle- man and carried her over. But the moment they got over they heard a crash and, looking back, discovered that this narrow neck of land had fallen into the sea. The mirage had disappeared, and there was naught but recks and sand, and then the supreme Brdhma cursed them both to the loyest hell, Then it was that the man spoke. "Curse me, but curse not her. It was not her fault. It was mine." The supreme Brahma said, "I will save her, but not thee." And then she spoke out of her fulloess of love, fout of a heart in which there was love enough to make all of her daugh- ters rich in holy affection, and said: "If thou wilt not spare him, spare neither me. I do not wish to live without . I lowe him." : Thea the supreme Brahma said, "I will spare you both and watch over you and your children forever." Ready to Talk. A very brilliant Irish lady some years ago arranged that Mr. Lecky should meet an able and famous Irish- man of very advanced opinions in politics. It was intended that they should exchange views, and the Irish- man had a good deal to say about Mr. Lecky's later work and was well able to put what he had to say in the most effective language. The door 0 . and Mr. Lecky was 'annou . He was introduced to the Irishman, and harangue which he kept goi with- out cessation the whole time he was there. The Irishman at first tried to swept away, as it were, in the unceas- ing flow of Mr. Lecky"s language, so after a time he sat in amused bewild- erment, waiting until nature gave out. But when Mr. Lecky felt he was get- ting exhausted he rose from hig chair and shook hands with the hostess and her guest, keeping on talking all the time. They came out with him to the top of the staircase, but could not get a word in edgewise even then, as he talked all the way down to the door and was even in an unfinished sen. tence when the door was shut behir™ roared. First English Book on Sport. The first book on sport ever print. ed in the English language was a rhymed treatise called the "Boke of Bt. Albands," it author being a wo- man, Dame Juliana Berners. Its se- cond edition was printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1496. A descendant of her family, Lord Berners, was the translator of Froissart's "Chronicles." It is true that old manuscripts exist- ed, such as the "Venerie de Twecy" of the time of Edward I1., but it was Dame Juliana who was the real an- cestresa of sporting literature in Eng- land, for she also composed an essay on hawking and another on Lrishing With an Angle," the last being So | = PAROLED MEN | DO WELL Only 86 Dut of 3,100 Men Forfeit Their Liberty. Dominion Parole Officer Archibald has just made an official visit to the penitentiary at Kingston. This isithe first visit of Mr. Archibald since. his severe illness last winter, and his many friends in Kingston were :de- lighted to see him on the road to recovery. When asked as to how the parcle system was working. and as to the mumber of prisoners who had been paroled since the incention of the system in Canada eleven years ago,' Mr. Archibald said that be was at the presen time making out a re port for the department, but could perhaps give approximate figures. Since the system was established in 1909, he said about 3,300 prisoners were released on parole. Out of that number only about 66 had forfeited their liberty. That is a splendid record, Myr. Archibald said Neady 2,000 have won their full Liberty and are in the enjoyment of good citizen. ship. showing that they were not eriminals, but had yielded to tempta- Nr rested " thee afterwards dee reg r acts and repénted in sackcloth and ashes. One thatsand priscnets _ are still reporting. year - ers completed their paroles. the 8,100 prisoners paroled in eleven years, 1,800 were from the peniten- tiaries and 1.300 from the jails and réformatories. . The number of paroles has been steadily increasing, but Mr. Archi. bald thinks that the limit hes now been reached. Last year the paroles totalled about 578, or about 00 more than in the previous year. In the prisons of Canada Mr. Archibald said that there were about one-third of the priscners in whom the utmost confidence could be put if they were released 'on parole. There were probably from 15 to 20 per cent. who would be better incarcerated for life, as they were genuine criminals. One year Mr. Archibald followed up the prisoners paroled, of whom there were 300, and found that they were earning a total of about $120,000. They had "made good," and were valuable citizens. | "Ode to a Hard-Tack." Those who remember the '"hard- tack," an adamantine form of biscuit served to the soldiers in the rebellion of 1885, will appreciate the force of the following poem, "Ode to a Hard. tack," read by Mr. T. W. Gibson, Deputy Minister of Mines, at the re- cen® banquet of the Battleford Col- umn. The lines were com by Mr. Gibson while on service in the rebellion :-- O relic of the old red sandstone age! O hardened bit of indurated granite. Compact alone of water and flinty flour, Thou mockest me?! Returning oft from picket or from guard, Or from patrol, with leaden steps and slow, With hunger famished and with fam- ine pi I've allen upou thee, rifie-buit and { With both feet have I jumped upon In hopes to separate s morsel I could eat, But all in vain!

Until a month ago, few le had ever heard of a "writ of og It was one of those puzzling legal terms, the origin of which seems lost in the mists of antiquity. And this is how it came to be resus- Shoned, | and obtain a otld-wide im: A rs. Diigo mn, who keeps a small shop in the Thames-side oie of Teddington, received $1,500 from an army captain, who died owing the Treasury $750. Now, instead of ask- ing Mrs. Pridgeon for the money, and, if she refused to pay, suing her in | the ordinary way, the Treasury quar. fered an official on the lady, with instructions to keep an eagle eye on the shop-till, and extract five shil- lings a day from the takings until the sum owing was paid. S They were proceeding under a pro- cess which dates back to the time of Magna Charta, and which specially reserves to the King the right to re- cover immediately any debt in dan- ger of being lost. Therefore, a jury was solemnly sworn--not to try the merits of the case, bear in mind, but simply to decide if Mrs. Pridgeon's goods were worth $750. And it was not until sev. eral questions were asked in Parlia- ment, and a legal protest raised against the injustice of any English- woman being denied the right of trial by jury, that the Treasury man sus pended annexing $1.20 a day. It wants a great mind to gra¥p a hundredth part of the anomalies of Britain's costly law. One unfortun- ate litigant recently told Judge Edge at Lambeth County Court that he once brought an action in the High Court to recover $1,000. "And," a added ruefully, "I had to pay $7,500 in costs!' On April 17th last, a road-sweeper named Francis, employed by the Wandsworth Borough Council, died And it took two and a half months, a committee meeting, and a special council meeting before his widow could receive the princely sum of forty/cents due to her! A Marine Monster, A remarkable fish story comes from County Caven, Ireland. Here it is Two anglers, resting leisurely in a small boat near the mouth of the River Fiun, saw an enormous fish approaching them from Lough Erne. They could see its back above the water as it ploughed along the sur face, raising great waves on each side. They quickly pulled their boat aside, but the fish gave chase, and was quickly alongside. Plunging on the, surface at a furious rate, it ap. peared to be fully ten feet long, with proportionate girth, and a very large head. Scared beyond measure, the men, Francis and Philip McDon- augh, shot 'into a weady place whence they watched the monster dash up the river to a small deep lake, where it disappeared. The brothers say it was unlike in size and shape any fish they ever saw. Daily, since the occurrence, the river bank has been crowded with people watch- ing for/its reappearance. \ , /Bchools and Their Rides. Quaint practices exist at all the great public schools.
