Myths of the Origin of women.
London Tablet,

Woman IS first appearance has been a
fruitful subject for the legend mongers
The PhHnician myth of creation is found
in the story of Pvgmalion 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 women, according to
Hesiod was that Zeus las cruel jest, or
dered Vulcan to make women out of clay,
and then induced the various gods and
goddesses to invest the clay doll with all
their worst qualities, the result being
lovely thing, with witchery of mien
refined craft, eager passion, love of
dress, treacherous manners, and shame
less mind. The Scandinavlans say that
as Odin, VIII 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 ont 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
MadagascaFenes. In so far as the crea-
ton of man goes, the legend is not un-
like that related by Moses, only that the
fall came before Eve arrived. After the
man had eaten the forbidden fruit he be-
came affected with boil OIL the leg ont
of which, when it burst, came beanti-
full girl. The man IS first thought was TO
throw her to the pigs, but he
was commanded by messenger
from heaven to let her play among
the diggings until she was of marriage
able age, then to make her his wife. He
did so, called her BabouFa, and she be-
came the mother of all races Of men. The
American Indians myths relative TO
Adam and Eve are numerous aud en-
tertaining. Some traditions trace back
cur first parents to white and red maize;
another is that man, searching for wife,
was given the daughter Of the king of
the muskrats, who, on being dipped into
the waters ola ueighboring lake, became
q woman.

cepts his assistance in getting out of the
stage, and she accepts it all with
a pleasant smile Yes, my friends,
that is the woman who rules the
world. She rules it by her helplessness,
just as the whitest, sweetest, daihtiest
morsel of a baby, enthroned in frills and
cambria and fine lace, can govern an es-
Enlistment of men, and they feel proud
of their tyrant. The tyranny of weak
ness is the strongest III the world. The
woman who rules is really the woman
who says, Protect me. - The woman
who says: 81 will protect you, - is the
sort of hybrid who may rule one
man, who may always spell woman
with a capital w, and prefer a stub pen,
but that Is the extent of her monarchy :,
Weak woman, daring to face the Marqh

her rights or her wrong; weak woman,
with strong opinions as to the value of a

her wishes and they will be obeyed.
