MYTHS of the Origin of Women.

From the London Tablet.
Woman's first appearance has been fruitful
subject for the legend-mongers. The Pheni-
clan myth OF creation is found in the story of
Pygmalion and Galatea. There the FIRST wo-
man was carved by the first man out of ivory
and then endowed with life by Aphrodite The
Greek theory of the creation Of women accord
ing to Hesiod, was that Zeus as a cruel iest
ordered Vulcan to make women out of clay
and then induced the various gods and god
desses to invest the clay doll with all their
worst qualities, the result being a lovely thing,
with q witchery OF mien. refined craft, eager
passion, love Of dress. treacherous manners
and shameless mind. The Scandinavians say
that as Odin, Will and We, the three sons of Bor,
were walking along the sea beach they found
two sticks of wood, one of ash and one of
elm. Sitting down the gods shaped man and
woman out of these sticks whiting
the woman from the elm and calling
her Emia- One of the strangest stories touch
ing the origin of woman is told by the
Madagascarenes. In SO far a. the creation of
man goes the legend is not unlike that related
by Moses, only that the fall came before Eve
arrived. After the man had eaten the forbid
den fruit he became affected with a boil on the
leg. out OF which, when it burst, came beauti-
full girl. The mans first thought was to throw
her to the pigs, but he was commanded by a
messenger from Heaven to let her play among
the diggings until she was OF manageable age,
then to make her his wife. He did so, called
her Baboura, and she became the mother of all
races of men. The American Indians myths
relative to Adam and Eve are numerous and en-
pertaining. Some traditions trace back our frst
parents to white and red maize; another is that
man, searching for a wife, was given the daugh-
ter Of the king of the muskrats, who, on being
dipped into the waters Of q neighboring lake,
became O woman.

Luck In an Old Love Letter.

From the Chicago News.
Mr.. Mayer, the special examiner Of the bu-
reau Of pensions, told of a man who lives up in
Butler county. He is parslyzed from a sun
stroke received while on the march to WASH
ington to the grand review after the surrender
of Lee. Not a man could be found to assist in
proving his claim. All his comrades of the
march were scattered or dead. There was not
