Whence Women Came.

Woman's first appearance has been
fruitful subject for the legend-mon-
gers. The Phenician myth of crea-
ton is found in the story of Pygmalion
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 Hesiod,
was that Zeus, as a cruel jest, ordered
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 be-
ing lovely thing, with a witchery of
mien, refined craft, eager passion, love
of dress. treacherous manners. and
shameful mind. The Scandinayians
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. Sit
ting 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 of stories touch
ing the origin of women is told by the
ton of man goes the legend is not I'M
like that related by Moses, only that
the fall came before Eve arrived. At
ter the man had eaten the forbidden
fruit he became afflicted with boil on
the leg, out of which, when it burst,
came beautiful girl. The mans first
thought was TO throw her to the pigs;
but he was commanded by a voice
from heaven to let her play among the
diggings until she was of marrlageble
age, then to make her his wife. He
did so. called her Baboura, and she
became the mother of all the races of
men. The American Indian myths
relative to Adam ahd Eve are numer-
Gus and entertaining. Some traditions
trace back our parents to white and
red maize; another is that man. search

the king of muskrats, who, being dip

CLIFF JEWELLERS.
Marvellous Discoveries in Southern Colo
RADIO by Two Hartford Explorers.

Messrs. Frederick II. Chaplin and
Charles P. Howard of this city, says the
Hartford Colrd79t, have recently re-
| turned from a most interesting and
fruitful exploring expedition in south
ern Colorado. They made a special
search for and among the various cliff
dwellings in the Mancos canyon. They
are experienced climbers. Mr. Chaplin
is member of the Appalachian club;
has climbed Mount Blanc and the ex-
tremely difficult Rothhorn at Zermatt,
and has published numerous articles in
the Appalachian and other magazines.
Mr.. Howard climbed Mount Blanc with
Mr.. Chaplin, and made the ascent of
the Matterhorn by himself
They went out to the Mancos can
yon mainly to take photographs of the
interesting objects there. but they also
made many discoveries themselves.
The pictures Mr.. Chaplin makes are
perfect, and he has brought from this
trip collection that are simply mar
velous and that show us more about
the curious cliff dwellings than can be
told in words, though the story accom-
panying the picture, as he tells il,
udh0S Gu6 SC6u0S COmDl6le.
These dwellings in the Mancos can
yon were discovered last December,
and very few people have seen any Of
them. They are scattered all along
the lofty walls of the canyon and its
tributaries, You find them in count
less abundance, yet they are almost alb
solutely inaccessible save as the steps
to them are found. They are far up
the side of the gorge, that can not be
scaled from below. And they are down
below the top so far as to be out of
sight or reach from above, and are
generally tucked away under an over
hanging ledge. They are not easily
noticed, and the only way to reach
them is by the steps cut in the stone.
The buildings are not adobe; they
are mortar and mason-work structures.
The largest that they have explored is
425 feet Tonga palace or fortress.
1t was at least eighty feet high and
would have held 1000 people. On the
ground floor 124 rooms were traced.
The object of these explorers was not
relics but photographs, and so they
took pictures instead of gathering ma
terials, but they saw a great many
still to be found in the ruins; indeed
corn-cob was found imbedded in the
original mortar, showing it was as old
as the structure. Skeletons can be
found by upheaving the debris. Who
ever goes there to dig will come away
! loaded.
And so, too, on the plains about the
ranch where the travellers stopped the
fields yield pottery and other relics,
and the loose stones prove to be parts
of the ruined buildings. 1t is coun-
try whose people have gone. Why
they went, why they lived as they did
while there-these things and nearly
all else about them are matters for
! speculation. Richard Wetherill, a
ranchman of Mancos, was the discover
er of the first of these dwellings in that
| locality and found them last December.

Pretty Women.

There are women who look pictur-
esque in almost any kind of dress. They
have invariably well-shaped heads
and a graceful outline, fiat shoulders
and a pretty line of arm and shoulder.
They seldom have very small waists,
but often possess very beautiful hair in
great quantities. Their eyes need not
be very large, but they must be well
set, put in their dirty fingers" as
such setting has been described; and
though the complexion need not be
perfect, it must be natural and The
nose unaccustomed to the powder stuff.
Such women look poetic, and inspire
the poet, the painter and the sculptor.
An Australian Legislature has passed
law taxing all married couples living
with their mothers-in-law- 5000 if re-
residing with the husbands mother-in-
law and $120 if with the wife's.

AIabaster Feet.

A stylish girl, if her feet are rather
large, will seek to compensate for this
disadvantage by cultivating shapeliness
in them, says the NY. Star, by following
the directions of good manicure-or
''pedicure, as you will
Many bellies are willing to sacrifice,
to some extent, the appearance of their
feet in public by wearing large shoes,
in order to preserve inviolate their
beauty when the feet are bare.
If girl wears a proper shoe, when
the foot is bare and she stands upon it
in the privacy of her bedroom it will be
as pretty and delicate as baby's. The
instep will be high, the heel delieately
formed, and the skin as white as ala
baster, with possibly blue veins show
ing through. The general form of the
foot will be slender, the toes tapering,
parallel, and separated by about the
thickness of a sheet of paper and
adorned with pink-tinted nails. A girl
who has such feet as these-and there
are many who have them-well may
take pride and pleasure in contemplate
ing them.

One Word Told the Story.

Here is one of the stories that A. NJ.
Palmer brought back from his sum-
mer's trip to Europe. He overheard
an animated discussion in the Victoria
Hotel, London. between an English
man and a Yankee" as all citizens
of the United States are called on the
other side. The dispute, of course,
was relative to the merits of the dis
putants' respective countries. 1t hap
pened that the American was a bit the
reader with his tongue, and maintain
ed his ground SO stubbornly that the
Briton at last gave it up with the re-
mark:
We'll, you Yankees are getting SO
bumptious that we shall have to send
over an army pretty soon to take some
of the conceit out of YOU"
The Americans reply was one word:
''Again?"-N 7. Sun.

Worms That Eat Steel Rails.

For the last two years the German
Government has been making inquiries
into the life, history, and ravages of
one of the most remarkable worms
known to exist. This wonderful
creature, whose gluttonous appetite is
only satisfied after feed on common
steel, was first brought into public
notice by an article in the Cologne
Gazette in June, 1887.
For some time preceding the publ
cation of the account mentioned the
greatest CONSERVATION existed among
the engineers employed on the railway
at Hagen by accidents which always
occurred at the same place. proving
that some terrible defect must exist
either in the material or the construc-
ton of the rails
The Government became interested
and sent commission to the spot for
the purpose of maintaining constant
watch at the place where the accidents

A Prudent Courtier.

Frederick the Great, of Prussia, who
had violent temper, was in the habit
of playing at dice with one of his adj
jutants, using cup and two dice of
solid silver.
One day Frederick complained that
the game was rather dull when there
was no money at stake, and proposed
that they throw for a penny throw.
Not much,n replied the adjutant,
who was plain-spoken man. Il think
we had better not risk any money. As
it is now without any moneyed induce
ment, when your majesty loses YOU
throw the cup and dice at me. What
money upon the game and your males
ty should lose?n

Langtry's Silver Bath.

a curious story is told as to the ORR
gin of Mrs. Langtry's silver bath.
Bathmakers believe there is only one
silver bath in the world. This was
made some years ago for an Indian
prince by London bathmaker, and he
supposes that the owner having died,
the silver bath came into the market
and was bought by Mrs. Langtry. A
silver bath is a tremendous affair.
Some few wealthy people have copper
baths plated with silver, but the co t
is but trife compared with the gemu-
inc article. Some wealthy people, who
go in for luxurious bathing, fill their
bathrooms with statuary, have painted
the walls and the bath is fitted into a
case of carved oak. Then there are
marble baths. They are both cold and
costly.
The most novel things in baths, how
ever. is one fitted with a shower bath
overhead, a needle spray bath at the
side and wave bath that rushes out at
the foot. These are in addition to the
ordinary hot and cold taps; so the
things can have five styles of bathing.
They cost about 1925.
There are half dozen or more diff
rerent sorts of towels for bathing. At
ter the ordinary Turkish and hucka-
back towels some doctors are fond of
recommending towel of rushes, made
appropriately enough by Russian peas
ants. 1t is hard and stiff and feels like
a coarse dishcloth. It's use is confined
to bathroom fanatics who think they
are happy in abrading their skins.
Then there is an elastic towel made of
net, and another skin raiser called
loofah. This is imported from Egypt.
The loofah is made of dried grass and
it is not softened by immersion in
water.
