These heroes were often the sons ol gods and earthly women. Such a hero 'was Heracles, (now spoken of. as Hercules). He was supposed to be the strongest person in the world. . Heracles was in the power of a certain king. This king did not lke him, and often sent him to do dan- gerous things. Ip ome case, the he- ro was sent to get some goldcn ap- ples. On his way, Heracles met a giant who was a famous wrestler. This giant said: | "I am the world's greatest wrest- ler. You must wrestle with me be. | fore you pass." Tae hero grappled with him. It wos a flerce battle. Heracles put forth all his strength, but could not down his opponent. By and by he noticed that every time the giant's feet touched the earth, new power shot through his musclos. "I'll hold him in the air," said Heracles to himself, "maybe his strengih will then be lost." It was so. Heracles cast the imp 'body aside and continued on his way. Finally he reached Mount Atlas where an- other giant, Atlas, was holding the sky on his shoulder. You rememi- 'ber he was given that job because he fought in the war against Zeus. Atlas was supposed to stand in north- ern Africa, just across from Spain. "Where can I find the golden ap- ples?" askcd Heracles. "I'shall not tell you that," replied Atlas, "but if you will hold the sky on your shoulders for a litle while, I'll get them for you." Heracles cousented. The giant, happy to be free of his burden, stepped over to Spain and picked the apples. When he returaed to Heracles, he had half a mind nol to take the sky back on his shoul- ders, but the hero made him do so, and then returned to the king and gave him the fruit. . This myth of the Greeks is be- lieved to have arisen from the tales of oranges in Spain. Oranges may easily have been called "golden ap- ples" because. of their color. Here is Atlas holding up the sky. Some artists picture him with a globe around his meck; but that is foolish becduse the Greeks did not know that carth was round. TOURISTS MAY BRING DUTY-FREE SMOKES EL But Quantity is Limited to Forty Cigars and Hun- dred Cigarets- Ottawa, Aug. 14.--An impression prevails that any person entering Canada from .the' United States or elsewhere is allowed under the Cus- toms regulatiops, to bring in free of duty two or three hundred cigarettes, a pound or two of tobacco, and a cer- tain quantity of cigars. It is point ed out by the custome department that this is not the case. Non-resi- dents of Canada are allowed to bring in, under certain conditions, 40 cigars or 100 (cigarettes, or one d of tobacco only, and this must be for personal use. This does nog apply to Canadians who may be re- turning from another country to Canada. They have no such privi- leges. The customs ent believes that it is possible that this impres- sion accounts for a great deal of petty smuggling which hag been In- dulged in by Canadians, who prob- ably would not knowingly infrings | * on the laws of their country.

SPECIALIST VISION 148 PRINCESS STREET the customs authorities to all oficers that the law as above stated must be rigidly enforced. The wording of the customs regulations is as fol- lows: "Forty cigars or Jess and 1006 c'za- rettes or less, in opem packages, found in the baggage of a traveller not being a fesident of Canada may be delivered free of duty." Customs officials state that the smuggling of cigarettes has fallen off greatly since tlie dutics were lower ed. { PRODUCE MARKETS. 3 oped Toronto, Aug. 14. -- Heavy stoers, $7.50 to $8.
