Different Legends About the First APP

Woman's first appearance says a
writer in the London Tablet. has been
a faithful subject for the legend-mon-
gers. The Phoen.cian myth Of Gre

walking along the sea beach they
found two sticks OF wood one Of ash
and one OF elm. Sitting Gown the gods
shaped man and woman out Of these
sticks, whiting the woman from the
elm and calling her Emia.
One OF the straugest, stories touch
ing the origin Of the woman is told by
the Madaga 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 affected with a boil on
the leg. out Of which, when IL burst,
came a beautiful girl The mans first
thought was TO throw her to the pigs,
but he was commanded by a messenger
from heaven to let her play among the
diggings until she was Of marriageable
age, then to make her his wife. He
did so, called her Baboura, and che
became the mother Of all races OF men.
The American Indians myths rela-

and entertaining. Some tradit ons
