The Tomb of Eve.

The Arabs claim that EYES tomb is at Jid-
dab, the seaport of Mecca. The temple with
a palm growing out of the solid stone roof Ia
curiosity which is Of itself the wonder of
the ORIENT is supposed to mark the last rest
ing place Of the first woman. According 10
Arabian tradition, Eve measured over two
hundred feet in height, which strangely CO.
incides with an account of our first parents
written by a member of the FrenGh Academy
of Sciences few years ago, who also claim
ed height of over two hundred feet for both
of the tenants Of the Garden of Eden. Ewes
tomb, which is in graveyard surrounded
with high white walls, and which has not
been opened for single interment for over
thousand years, is the shrine of thousands
of lshmaelites, who make pilgrimage to the
spot once every seven years. 1t is hemmed
in on all sides by the tombs ofdeparted shieks
and other worthless who have lived out their
days in that region of scorching sun and
burning sands. Once each year, on June 3,
which is, according to Arabian legends, the
anniversary of the death of Abel, the doors
of the temple which forms canopy over this
supposed tomb of our first mother, remain
open all night, in spite of the keepers efforts
to close them. Terrible cries of anguish are
said to emit from them, as though the men,
DRY of the first known tragedy still haunted
the remains which blind superstition believes
to be deposited there.
TIE writer heard of many other interest
ing legends and superstitions connected with
this celebrated burying ground, none of
which he cared to take the time to investi-
gate, as cholera of violent type was raging
at Jiddah and many other Mediterranean
seaports at the time these things were
being investigated, in July and August, 1882.

-"There is one solace left me, at least re-
marked the old farmer after all the boys

Peace is better than joy. Joy is very
uneasy guest, and is always on tiptoe to de-
part 1t tires and wears US out, and yet
keeps us ever fearing that the next moment
1t will be gone. Peace is not so. 1t comes
more quietly, it stays more contentedly, and
it never cxhausts our strength, nor gives us
one anxious forecasting thought.

Educational Report.

The report of the superintendent Of edu-
cation, Hon. X. Y. Palmer Of Waite bury,
opens with reports OF the county supervisors.
These have much TO say regarding the effect
of the new school law. Mr.. Hasseltine OF
Addison county says the chief difficulty
he has TO contend with il the conservative
spirit OF the people, which is shown in edu-
cational matters more than in anything else.
Yet school patrons are DESTROYS of doing the
best possible thing for their children.
"Their motives are good, but their efforts
are misdirected. A common mistake of dis
Wicts is the election of officers regardless OF
their fitness for the office" That the stand
ard OF teachers qualifications has been
raised IS shown by the fact that twenty per
cent of those taking examinations have been
rejected.
Mr.. Howe OF Bennington county reports
that he has visited every school under his
jurisdiction once, a large majority twice,
and several three times. After observing
their methods Of instruction, he has made
such suggestions to teachers As their re-
snective schools demanded He has held
two educational meetings during the year,
a. both of which good degree Of interest
was manifested. At his recommendation
one town voted to unite districts at the au-
nuaI town meeting. Suggestions in regard
to repairs and new apparatus have IN the
main been well received. " In my second
round of visitarions 1 found new teachers

portance Of the work at hand, and urge the
necessity of taking up this work at once
and pursuing it diligently to the end. We

rightfully look to us to bring to the dis
charge of our duties here that same degree
of industry and careful consideration which
we would devote to our own private affairs.

Biting Its Own Body.

Bill King, of Fairburn, Ca, has a
horse that has hydrophobia from all ap-
pearances. The horse at intervals has
spasms or paroxysms. 1t bites its own
legs and feet and breast. It is terrible
to behold how it fastens its teeth in its
own flesh and tears the skin and flesh
from its bones. King says the horse bit
him on his arm, but he did not think
anything of it until his horse became I'M
manageable and he tied around his neck
rope and tied the rope to a tree in his
lot The horse would catch his leg in
his mouth and bite and pull it until he
threw himself on the ground, then he
he would turn and wallow on the ground
for some time, then he would get quiet,
gently get up and stand still awhile. In
few minutes he would commence his
antics again and bite the tree near him,
then the rope, and then he would bite
his breast and pull the flesh off in strips,
then he would catch his legs and pull
and bite the skin off in strips, then he
would catch his leg in his mouth and
pull and jerk until he would fall to the
ground. Every one was afraid to go
near him. Some suggested bleeding,
but no one was found who would under
take the job. Your correspondent and
others suggested that the horse be shot
and put him out of so much suffering
and pain. The last seen of Mr.. King he
was hunting for some one to shoot his

European Armies.

It appears that it is practically impos-
sible to ascertain the fighting strength of
the Germany army when placed on war
footing, on account of the complicated
arrangements by which portions of the
territorial forces are worked into the
strength of the regular corps. The
present peace establishments Of Germany,
France and Russia, are as follows: Ger
many, 884 battalions, 465 squadrons, 1854
batteries, 1900 mounted guns, 10, 457
officers, 46S, 400 rank and file. France,
26,7 63 officers, 534, 100 rank and file,
$50 field batteries, with 2O6O mounted
guns. Russia, S48 battalions, or 1885,
312 infantry, 326 squadrons of cavalry,
with 81 416 men; 344 batteries of field
artillery, with 1912 mounted guns and
81, $50 men, 334 battaions of engineers
having 1877 men, besides 81, $50 men
of the s'train" service, making a total
of 562, 500 men. To these should be
added 2SS squadrons Of Cossacks num-
bering 81, GA men; 112, $50 local troops
and ~, 634 reserve men, which will bring
up the strength of the Russian peace es-
adjustment to 799, 928 men. The Rus
sian forces when on a war footing are
estimated as follows: 994, 400 men of
regular troops, with 4030 pieces of ar
tillery; 28O,81O reserve men, with $40
guns; 1877, $50 Cossacks, with 240 guns
of their own and 189, 500 supplement-
airy reserve men, with 3S4 pieces of ar
tillery. This estimate is exclusive of
local troops. The war footing strength
of France is estimated at "about" the
following: Active army, about 2,00O,-
900, divided into ten classes, according to
age: 1,O22,0 of the territorial army,
divided into five classes, according to
age; and reserve troops, divided into six
classes, numbering 762, 900, the total
amounting to 1854, 600 men.
