Adams Fall and Wnmnn-

The account of Adams fall, as COM
monty received, is not too complimentary
to woman, but, on the other hand. the
reasons given for her creation are sutfi-
GENTLY SO; but the Zoarites, or Sepa-
%ratists, who have long had a settlement
in Tuscarawas County, o., have a theory
of Adams fall, which makes woman's
creation a consequence. They formulate
it thus: "HThat primal mans ~imagina-
ton was thrown away on earthly things
that is, he wanted a wife, and hence
lost Gods image. Therefore Christ has
come to restore what Adam lost, and he
is for this cause the Savior Of the world"
If man lost Gods image by wanting n
wife, and if Christ came to restore what
Adam lost by wanting a wife, IL seems
to follow that when maj has been re-
stored to this primal spiritual state be
will cease to want q wife. Thus the
Zoarites have an understanding of the
words that in the resurrection they
neither marry nor are given in marriage.
Then the question remains, What be-
comes Of woman?

The Great Wall Of China.

An American engineer, who, being en-
gagged in the construction Of Il railway in
China, has had unusually favorable OPP
portunities of examining the famous
"great wall " built to obstruct the III
cursions of the T~artars, gives the follow
ing account of this wonderful work:
"The wall is 1928 miles long, eighteen
feet wide, and fifteen feet thick at the
top. The foundation throughout is Of
solid granite, the remainder OF compact
masonry. At intervals Of between two
hundred and three hundred yards towers
rise up twenty-five to thirty feet high
and t~werty-four feet in diameter. On
the top Of the wall and on both sides Of
of it are masonry parapets to enable the
defenders to pass unseen from point to
point in a perfectly straight line, across
valleys and plains and oven hills, with
out the slightest regard to the con-
fguration of the ground, sometimes
plunging down into abysscs a thousand
feet deep. Brooks and small rivers are
bridged over by the wall, while on both
banks Of larger streams stroEg Hanking
towers are placed.

A dog likes company and when exiled
from canine society will often find
amusement in foreign partnerships,
Recently a Montville man carried home
a young terrier dog. There were no
other dogs in the neighborhood, so he
broke the monotony Of the place BY
playing with toads. He actually became
an adept in discovering their haunts.
and when they hoped he would hop,
and when they We're at rest he rested,
He showed every symptom Of delight
over the fact that he could leap farther
than the toad could, not recognizing the
disparity in length Of body and limbs in
his favor. One day he nosed out a bull
frog in the wet grass that proved to be
the prince of tremendous leapers, ard
trying his jumping powers with it he
was defeated. Astonished, he looked at
the frog as he leaped away, but before it
had got off of the premises, as if in a fit
of jealousy, he ran after it and killed it,
He still noses out toads, and plavfnIIv
touches them with his feet to make them
jump with him, but from the day he was
beaten by the frog at ~leaping he has
insisted on killing every frog he meets in
his travels.

Long Branch Architecture.

A-@SAA 80 @f~ AlhtaA
Between the road and the waters
edge there is a string of cottages of
various colors, dimensions, and grades of
ugliness, On the opposite side of the
avenue there is a similar row of houses
which are a good deal like the Others,
only not 50 homely. The principal object
Of the Long Branch architects seems to
have been the indulgence of a passion
for frightful designs, atrocious co1orings,
and infamous constructions. Some of
the chaps who laid out the cottages
which are strung along the sea-sh0re
south of the principal hotels must have
done their work right after bad attacks
Of nightmare. A t0adstool, compared to
many-of these structures, is a model of
beauty and a miracle Of graceful contour.
The colors which have been employed in
painting these maryels Of constructive
science vary from dead white to the
most aggravated form of brown. Such
unholy reveIs in hue were never seen
before, and it is to be profoundly hoped
that they viii never be dreamed of

A good joke is told at the expense Of

summer hotel at Watch Hill, a chamber.
maid being the Perpetrator. 1t seems
that some of the beds in the house are
much inferior to others, and a lady who
occupied n of the good ones desired to
secure another of them for a Philadel-
phia friend who was coming to the
house, so she requested the chambermaid
to see that a room containing such a one
was reserved. The girl soon reported
that none could be procured, whereat
the lady gave her a dollar, with instruc-
lions to shift some one else's good bed,
replace it by a poorer one, and give the
good one to her friend. The girl promised
to carry out this plot, and the result
was that the Philadelphia lady that
night slept on a good bed; but the lady
bribed the chambermaid was somewhat
astounded to find in her W room, upon
retiring for the night, the inferior bed
substituted for her own.

Calculations are already being made as
to the amount of loss which the farmers
will experience owing to the bad season,
An estimate published recently puts
down the amount below an average on
the corn crops alone at G25, 200, 600, and

added. Potatoes show a loss of E15.0OO-

than 100000, 900. 1t is further said that
England will have to import at least
100000 quarters of wheat against
l4,60O,00O quarters last year. If these
figures can in any way be relied on-and
there is too much reason to fear they can
there is no reason for further inquiry
as to how it comes about that the manu-

The Fire That Never Goes Ont.

~-@AAet h9t
About three years ago the Observer re-
ported the case of a citizen of Mecklen-
burg County, N. G., who, having married
in 1913, lighted a fire on his ~hearthstone
as soon as he carried his bride to his new
home, and had kept it burning eyer
since. The citizen was in town yester-
day, and, being questioned about the
matter, stated that the fire was still
burning, and that throughout all these
thirty-sIx yearsit had never been allowed
to so out. Questioned as to whether or
not it made the house uncomfortable
hot IN torrid weather, he said the extra
heat thus generated was not perceptible.
In reply to another question, he said
that IN summer weather, when it was
necessary for comforts sake to keep the
turning very low. he hadto get up
at night to repleniqh ii
but that he counted as
~ when he contemplated the idea
Of that FIRE going out. He has evidently
formed for 1t d strong attachment. and
vet a would not take him for a senti-
mental man. But this fire is to him a
constant reminder Of the day when he
first brought home his bride. Around il
his children have grown Up into man
hood and Romanhood, and their children
have gazed into its light. 1t was the
last light that fell upon the eyes Of his
wife, and hopes that it will be the last
that will fall upon his. Viewed thus.

that with the old man it amounts almost
to a passion.

1t is scarcely necessary to say, remarks
the LadyS Journal, that Unmarried
women should not accept presents from
gentlemen who are not related or en-
gagged to them, as every well bred per
son is aware of the fact. There is a
rule to the effect that in presenting a
book to a friend, the name Of the one to
whom you give it must not be written
in it unless requested. This rule is bet
ter honored in the breach than in the
observance, when the giver of the book
is its author. "Our tokens of love,o
says Emerson, care for the most part
barbarous, cold, and Iifeless because thev
do not represent our life. The only Gift
is a portion of thyself. Therefore, let
the farmer give his corn; the miner, a
gem; the sailor, coral and shells; the
painter, his picture; and the poet, his
poem. Mere costliness does not consti-
tute the soul of a present; it is the kind
of feeling that it manifests, which gives
it value. Those who possess noble ma
lures do not make gifts where they feel
neither affection nor respect. Their
gifts are bestowed out of the fulIuess of
kind hearts.
