HEIGHT OF ADAM AND EVE.
An Author Who Says Adam Was 1913
Feet High and Eve IIS Feet.

| have often wondered where M.
Henrion, the French sayant, got his
data for the curious speculations he
gives as to the height and other pro-
portions of Adam and Eve. In his re-
markable work, THE Degeneration of
the Human Race" published in l718,
the learned academician gravelv in
forms his readers that Adam was 1913
feet and inches in height, while his
disobedient consort was but paltry
llS feet from the sole of the foot to the
crown of the head. OF course all who
have read very extensively of Talmu-
die literature, or even Baring-Gould's
Legends of the Patriarch Prophets"
remember the wonderful stories told
of how Adam was made; of his gigan-
tic size, and how, after the fall, his
stature was reduced by several miles
by the offended God himself The
Talmud has this to say of Adams
height: He was so tall that he stood
with feet on earth and head in heaven
until after God pressed him down at
the time of the fall" Rabbi Jhuda
says that when he lay on the earth his
body completely covered it," Another
Talmudlc story says: TO Judge how
long he was, understand that his body
stretched from one end of the earth to
the other, and it takes man 500 years
to walk that distance. The
angels were awed with wonder when
they saw that gigantic human being.
and bowed before him, crying: Holy,
holy, holy Then God reduced his
size by cutting off great chunks of
flesh" These are all absurd legend
airy stories, of course; but where did
Henrion get his figures for the 123-
foot calculation mentioned in the
opening? Philadelphia Press.

The poor little woman was travelling
from Baltimore to Chicago on the Bal
timore q Ohio with six small children,
says Kate fTetd'S Washington. Three
of them were ill.and she had her hands
and lap more than full. Everyone in
the ear tried throughout the day to do
what they could to alleviate her suffer-
ings. A kindly old gentleman played
with the not too inviting 2-year-old,
and commercial traveller kept the
wiggling and inquisitive oldest boy as
quiet as possible with stories of his
own boys at home. Dainty ladies
opened well-stocked travelling bags to
the many necessities of the little
brood, and the travelling public seemed
disposed to show its utmost kindness
to the overburdened woman. The
only person who showed no interest
was an insignificant snub-nosed little
man who sat in the back of the car and
read newspapers. At last bedtime
came, and the porter made up a couple
of sections in which the tired mother
might bestow her offspring. When
they were safely settled the passengers
were rendered almost speechless by
the conduct of the little snub-nosed
man, who skulked down the aisle and
crawled into the berth where the
woman was hushing a wailing child.
When it dawned upon them that he
was the husband and father of their
proteges it took all the persuasion of
the cooler-headed to prevent an imme-
date mobbinp.

A Call from Il Coon.

| have had but enc call from a coon.
that | am aware of, and | fear we did
not treat him with due hospitality.
He took up his quarters for the day in
a Norway spruce, the branches of
which nearly brushed the house. |
had noticed that the dog was very
curious about that tree all the after
noon. After dinner his curiosity cul-
minated in repeated loud and conf
dent barking. Then l began an in
vestigation, expecting to find strange
cat, or at most red squirrel. But
moments scrutiny revealed his COON
ship. Then how to capture him
became the problem. A long pole was
procured, and sought to dislodge him
from his hold The skill with which
he maintained himself amid the
branches excited our admiration. But
after IA time he dropped lightly to the
ground, not in the least disconnected,
man and beast. The dog was cow
ard and dared not face him. When
the coon's attention was diverted the
dog would rush in; then one of us
would attempt to seize the coon's tail,
but he faced about SO quickly, his black
eyes cleaning that the hand was
timid about seizing him. Only but
finally in his skirmishing with the
dog | caught him by the tail and bore
him safely to an open four-barrel, and
he was our prisoner. Much amuse-
ment my little boy and | anticipated
with him. He partook of food that
same day, and on the second day
would eat the chestnuts in our pres
ence. Never did he show the slightest
fear of us or of anything, but he was
unwearied in his efforts to regain his
freedom. After a few days we put a
strap upon his neck and kept him teth-
cred by chain. But in the night, by
dint of some hocus-pocus, he got the
chain unsnapped and made off, and is
now, trust, a patriarch of his tribe,
wearing leather necktie. John Bur-

A Fisherman's Life on the Banks.

The iisherman's life on the Banks
and the Georges in winter is very
hard one, though they live well on
board-better than on shore. They
have to, that they may stand the ex-
cessive cold; and their pay is like their
lives, floating doubt. The voyage is
made on shares. From the gross
profits of the catch are deducted the
cost of bait and ice, and one fourth of
one per cent for the Widows and Or
phan's Fund. One half of the net
STOCK" as it is called, goes to the
owners of the vessel, the other half to
the crew, from which is deducted each
mans share of the crews expenses;
that is, cooks wages, water, medicine
chest, etc. They sail away full of hope
and with full larder. Arrived at the
grounds, they anchor in about forty or
fifty fathoms, and set their travis.
These are long lines, anchored on the
bottom, and extending out from the
schooner many hundreds of yards To
these, at intervals of a fathom (the
distance varies for different tish), are
attached shorter lines. These lines
have to be attended in dories, each
containing two men, who haul, bait
and land the fish in the boat, to be
transferred to the schooner Herein
lie the danger and hardship, for the
strong tides of the banks and the shoal
water pile up great combing seas.
The cold is cruel and the work hard.
Suddenly down comes fog, not the
soft mist of summer or autumn, but a
thick, heavy bank, soaked through
with the penetrating cold of the ice
bergs further north. Horns are blown
from the vessel, but every year many
dories are lost One would think that
common sense, if not law, would make
each dory carry a breaker of water
and pilot-bread; but none do, and
either experience does not teach or
the fishermen like such chances, for
year after year comes the same old
story of a lost dory and two men
starved or dead of thirst. When the
fog lifts they are many miles from
their schooner, and are carried by the
swift tides they know not whittier.
Then come days of hunger and thirst;
hands are frozen to the oars; madness
haunts them; and then-death. Some
times they make land or are picked up
by a passing vessel, in which case they
often return before their own schooner;
but that great happiness is rare. Then
their vessel, which so gaily sailed out
past the light, comes home with her
flag at half-mast. Cleveland Core,
IN the Century.

ADVERSE TO ANY CHANGE.
Chinese From Their Infancy Learn to 1g-
more Any such Thing as Monotony.

1t seems to make no particular diff
ference to Chinese how long he re-
mains in one position. He will write
all day like an automaton If he is
handicraftsman he will stand in one
place from dewy morn till dusky eve,
working away at his weaving, his gold
beating or whatever it may be. and do
it every day, without any variation in
the monotony and apparently no spec
al consciousness that there is any mo-
notony to be varied. In the same way
saws a writer in the Melbourne Leader,
Chinese school children are subjected
to an amount of confinement, unre-
lieved by any recesses or change of
work, which would soon drive western
pupils to the verge of insanity. The
very infants in arms, instead of squirm-
ing and wriggling as our children be-
gin to do as soon as they are born, lie
as impressive as so many mud gods.
And at more advanced age, when
western children would vie with the
monkey in its widest antics, Chinese
children will often stand, sit or squat
in the same posture for great length
of time.
In the item of sleep the Chinese es-
tablishes the same differences between
himself and the Occidental as in the
directions already specified. General
ly speaking, he is able to sleep any
where. None of the trilling disturb
ances which drive us TO despair annoy
him. With n brick for pillow he can
lie down on his bed of stalks, of mad
bricks or rattan, and sleep the sleep of
the just, with no reference to the rest
Of creation. He does not want his
room darkened nor does he require
others to be still. The infant crying
in the night" may continue TO cry for
all he cares, for il does not disturb
him.
In some regions the entire popula-
ton seem to fall asleep, as by II com
mon instinct dixie that of the hiberna-
ting bear) during the first two hours
of summer afternoons. and they do
this with regularity, no matter where
they may be. At two hours after noon
the universe at such seasons is as still
as at two hours after midnight. In
the case of most working people at
least and also in that of many Others
position in sleep is of no sort of conse-
quence. 1t would be easy to raise in
China an army of 1000, 000-nay, OF
10, 1),000-tested by competitive ex-
animation AS to their capacity to go to
sleep across three wheelbarrows with
their head downward like spider,
their mouths wide open and fly in
side.
The same freedom from tyranny of
nerves is exhibited in the Chinese en-
durance of physical pain. Those who
have any acquaintance with the opera
tons in hospitals in China know how
common or rather universal it is for
the patients to bear without flinching
degree of pain from which the stout
est OF us would shrink in terror.

A Country of Reptiles.

A Scotchman who has lately travelled
extensively in Australia says that it is
great reptile country. II have tray
eled, he said, sin almost every coun-
try and | have never found land that
went ahead of Australia for snakes,
lizarss and frogs. There are some
siXty-tive species of snakes in that
country, of which forty-two are ven
omous and twelve positively danger
Gus. There are forty or fifty different
kinds of frogs. embracing every va
riety from a common tree frog to a
large green variety with blue eyes and
a gold back, making wonderful show
ing of color as he hops about. There
are probably forty kinds of lizards, of
which twenty belong to class known
as night lizards, many of which hiber-
nate. One species can utter cry when
hurt or alarmed, and another kind,
the frilled lizard, can lift its sore legs
and hop about like kangaroo. The
monitor, or fork-tongued lizard, bur-
rows in the earth. climbs and swims
and grows to a length of nine or ten
feet. The crocodiles of Queensland,
however, grow to length sometimes
OF forty feet Some of the Australian
species of lizards can change their
color not only from light to dark but
from gray to red. All kinds of turtles
are caught. ! saw one caught there
that was ten feet in length. Rcayune.

In Skull Land.

A Jolly old skull there was, low in the earth,
Deep down ut the roots OF the willow,
Who for years and for years in Interchangeable
Grinned up from his uncanny pillow.
And my spirit Owed down to him once on
To question him where he was lying:
oh jolly old skull why art grinning Away
While the world In the sunlight in sighingF
And he answered my question without any
ado,
And his manner was queer as his matter,
While his jaws beat rapid and tuneess tat
Like sticks when together they catter.
"Oh why should skull not be merry" he
cried
"Since it has no occasion for SORROW
No loneings of love, of ambition or pride,
No regrets for the past, no tomorrow
You desplse me because | am lacking in
brainsY
Your dsfavor awakens no sadness,
For gone with the pulp are its lingering pain,
Its frenzy its fire and its madness"
away,
Far away through deaths underground re-
giOns
Like the sound which the Grecian ascribes In
the play
To his countless batrachian legions:
"Oir sons may have disgraced US,
Naught wreck we;
Our wives may have debased us,
Naught wreck we;
Our good deeds may be doubted,
Our honest names be secuted,
Our very memories fouted,
Naught wreck we!
Here no false friends deceive us,
Glad are we;
No fickle sweethearts leave us,
Glad are wei
No Rnawing wants distress us,
No tyrant laws Cypress us.
No mumbling priests confess us,
Glad are WEI
And that jolly old skull of n man once knew
Led this chaunt for my listening spirit
As any old skull will oblgingly do
For II soul that can listen and hear it.
