Hunt Held Guilty of Cruelty.
 From the Philadelphia Inquirer.l
 John Delaney and John Mathews, en- ployed by the Radnor Hunt, who were ar- rested last week upon warrant sworn by Agent Currier of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, were given hearing yesterday morning before Magistrate J.Owen Yetter of Ardmore. The charges were that in the hunt that was started from the fields of Mrs. Charles Wheeler, on Nov. 8, fox was mangled to furnish sport to the hunters, and the two employees were made the sub- jects of d test case.
 Mrs. Sarah McGowan, domestic in the house of Mrs. Andrew Wheeler, living next to Mrs. Charles Wheeler, at Radnor, was called to testify. Mrs. McGowan admitted to Thomas Earl White, counsel for the prose- cution, that she had seen Delaney bring out bag with something kicking inside. She next saw fox playing around Delaney's feet; saw him try to drive it away and make it run: saw the little animal run back several times to it's keeper, and to seek protection by chasing 1t, and, finally, saw it kicked and driven off. She saw Mathews bring out the hounds and the hunters mounted ready to join the chase.
 Harry McGowan, her husband, and gar dener for Mrs. Andrew Wheeler, was the only other witness. He did not see any fox at all at Mrs. Wheeler's hunt on November 23. He saw the hounds and the riders. Saw Mathews riding with the hunters; didn't know what his position was.
 This closed his testimony, and Lawyer White began to show Magistrate Yetter why he should fine Matthews for bringing out the hounds and Delaney for letting out the fox.
 He read the law as follows: "Any person who shall wanton1y ler cruelty ill-treat, over load, beat or otherwise abuse any animal,
 whether belonging to Himself or otherwise,
 nected with or interested in the management
 of, or shall receive money for the admission
 of any person to any place kept or used for
 the purpose of fighting or batting any bull,
 bear, dog, cock or other creature; and every
 person who shall encourage or assist, or who shall permit or suffer any place to be so kept
 or so used, shall be deemed guilty of mis- demeanor."
 Lawyer James B. Holland, for the defence, arose and captured the crowd just in the spot where it wanted to- be captured. He made several effective rallies. He suggested prosecution of the hounds themselves ins stead of the men who handled them. But his greatest point, and his insistance upon it made even MT. White smile, was that all the prosecution had proven was that the gentle men under suspicion of having cruelty treat animal forth in bag and liberated it. They had not proved that the animal had been killed; they had just shown that it was liber- ated so that it might run with joy to it's native hills. There was no evidence that the fox had been killed. Besides, there was a price on his head. Lawyer Holland proceed
 ed to cite precedents from England in favor
 of cock fighting and putting rabbits in pits to be killed by dogs.
 MT. White retorted to this that if MT. Hol.
 land wished to put the Radnor Hunt in the
 attitude of defending cock fights he had l nothing to say. But he cited 8 decision nearer than England, in fact in the Massa.
 chusetts Supreme court, that letting fox
 out of @ bag to be chased by hounds was cruelty.
 The magistrate announced that he wonld fine each of the defendants $20. It may be
 that the defence will take the case to court. The representatives of the society say that if the defence does not make test case of it they will continue to arrest, whenever they can, those hunters most directly concerned
 without regard to their social status.
 Where Women Came From. Woman's first appearance has been fruit ful subject for the legend. mongers. The Phonician myth of creation 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 crea- ton of woman, according to Hesiod, was that Zeus, as cruel jest, ordered Vulcan to make woman 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 shameless l mind. s.The Scandinavisns say that as Odin, Will and We, three sons of Bor, were walk
 ing, along the seabeaoh, they found two
 sticks of wood, one of ash and one of elm. l woman out of these sticks, whittlinR the | woman from the elm and calling her Emia. One of the strangest of stories touching the origin of women is told by the Madagas- | carenes. In so far as 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 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 @ voice from
 heaven to let her play among tho diggings make her his wife. He did so, called her Baboura, and she became the mother of all
 races of men. The American Indian myths
 relative to Adam and Eve are numerous and
 entertaining. Some traditions trace back our first parents to white and red naize; another is that man, searching wife, was given the daughter of the king of muskrats, who, being dipped into the waters of a neighboriDg lake, hanana Q woman
