Origin Of Women

Womsn's first appearance bas heen a
fruitful subject for the legend mongeTs,
SAYS the Pail Nal Ga-ssfe. ThePaenician
myth Of creation is found in the story of
"Pygrnalion and Galatea' There the first
woman was carved BY the first man out
Of ivory and then endowed with life By
Aphrodite. The Greek theory Of the
creation Of woman, according to the Hes
iod, was tt45 Zeno, as a cruel jest, ordered
VulcsA to make woman out Of clay, and
then induce the various gods and god
desses to invest the clay doll with all
their worst Qualities, the result being
lovely thing, with a witchery Of men re-
fined craft. eager position, love Of dress,
treacherous manners, anil shameless
mind
The Scandinavians say that as OdiH,
VIII and We, the three sons Of Boz, we're
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 stran.est stories
touching the origin Of wonian is told by
the Madagascarenes. In 50 lar as the
creation Of man goes the legend Is not
unlike that related t0 Moses, only tbat
the fail came before Eve arrived After
the man had eaten Of the forbidden fruit
he became affected With boil ON the leg,
cut Of which, when il burst, came beau
tifuI girl. The mans first thought was to
throw her to ;he pigs. but be was COM
nanded by messenger from heaven to
let her play among the diggings until she
was Of manageable age. then make her
his wife. He did 81, called her Bll0ura,
and SIZE became the mother of all the
race Of men.
The American Indians myths relative
to Adam and Eve are numerous and en-
iertaining. Some traditions trace back
our FIRST parents TO white and red Maize
another is that man, searching for wife,
WIS given the daughter Of the king Of the
muskrafs. who, On being dipped into q
neighboring lake, became a woman.

The Meaning of the Word
Limited"

II has become somewhat common now
a-days to see the word 8 limited - in pa
renthesis, after the title Of corporations,
and it is safe to say that people generally
DO not understand the signifcanre of the
term. though, of course, business men do.
An explanation os it, as stated in one Of
our exchanges, may. therefore, be Of gen
eriI interest The old principle of cor
porations created by legislative act was
that the entire property Of every stock
holder was liable for the whole Of the
company, as the whole property Of every
member ola general partnership is still
liable for the debts of the frm. This
system made every shareholder RESPONSE
bic for bad management, Of which he
might not be guilty, and debarred veal
thy men from becoming Interested in the
shares Of corporations. To remove this
objection the principle Of limited respon-
sibility was introduced, and in order to
notify the public that only the separate
property Of the corporation was liable for
the debts Of the corporation, the English
law requires that the word limited +"
shall be used in every case by the com
pany in connection with its title. Most
American corporations ere constituted on
the principle Of limited liability, and but
few, ifany, of the States enjoin the com
panies formed under their laws to ap-
pend the the word limited 20 their
corporate titles. The matter Is 50 gener-
ally understood in this country by bush
ness men, however, that it is not deemed
necessary, though many companies 90
it Of their own accord
The most noteworthy exception to the
general rule is the ease OF the national
bank, but even IN thus instance liability
is limited TO an amount equal to the par
value of the share held. That is, if the
national bank fails. each stakeholder
may not only lose what be has invested,
but 500 more for each share Of the stock
he holds, If so much is necessary TO pay
the debts of the bank. Until within
few years all the Scot sh banks were or
ganized with unlimited liability, and
when, some eight or ten years ago, a
Glasgow bank failed disastIously there
were cases Of men who only owned
share or two, valued before the failure at
not much more than Sl00. who were as
sessed thousands of pounds sterling TO
meet the debts of the bank. Since that
time the Scottish banks have been allow
Ell TO reorganize on a limited liability ba-

Plenty Left over.

In a certain church in Ireland a young
priest was detailed to preach. The occas-
ion was his first appearance, and he took
for his text The Feeding Of the Multi-
tude." He said And they fed ten
people with ten thousand loaves Of breafi
and ten thousand fishes" And an Irish
man said That's no miracle; begorra,
I could do that myself which the priest
overheard.
The next Sunday the priest announced
the same text, bat he had it right this
time. He said q And they fed ten thous-
and people on ten loaves of bread and ten
fishes He waited a second or two. and

~he golden hours for preparation for

carried safely through the latter half Of
their lives by drawing upon these invalu-

TEARING UP SIDEWALKS.
Protesting Taxpayers Address a
Council Committee.

The council committee OH streets met
last evening and transacted business to
come before the board of aldermen at
its next regular meeting. But little
business of general interest was trans
acted, and the menotony of the session
was varied only when William Cunning
ham, of the firm of Cunningham d
Haas, and w. Hewitt, representing the
Hewitt estate, appeared before the COM
mittee to prosecute a complaint
against the irregular manner of
laying a sidewalk on Prior avenue,
near the Minnesota Transfer. The dis
cussion that resulted was spirited and
entertaining, the methods adopted by
Aid Pratt in the matter being referred
to as high-nanded and arbitrary. and
even the sedate city engineer was ac-
cused of funny business"
About half mile of sidewalk on Prior
avenue. between University avenue
and Minnehaha street, ordered by the
council on the west side of the avenue,
was laid on the east side along the prop
erty owned by Cunningham u Haas and
the Hewitt estate. who refused to pay
for the Improvement. Tbe sidewalk
was so laid, according to the explana-
engineer, through an oversi ght. The
committee recommended that the walk
be torn up and stored until needed by
the city elsewhere. Another section of
walk Old Raymond street, which was
laid and assessed to the Hewitt estate,
on the east side of the street, was after
wards moved to the west side. The
committee recommended that it be re-
moved to the east side.
