The Tomb of Eve.

The Arabs claim that Ewes tomb is at
Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca. The tenn
pie, with palm tree growing out of
crack in the rock roof, which is of itself
one of the wonders of the orient, is sup
posed to be built directly over the last
resting place of the first womRA Ac-
cording to Arab tradition Eve meas
ured over 200 feet in height, which, un-
likely as it may seem, strangely coin
cides with an account of our first par
ents written by member of the French
academy, who also claimed height os
over 200 feet for both of the tenants of
the garden of Eden.
Ewes tomb, which is burying ground
that is surrounded by high wall, the
gate to which has not been opened for u
single interment for over 1000 years. Is
the shrine of thousands of devoted Ish-
maelites, who make pilgrimage to the
spot once every seven years. Once each
year, on June 3, which is, according 10
Arabian legends the anniversary Of the
death of Abel, the doors to the tomb OF
our first mother remain open all night,
no odds what precautions are taken to
keep them closed. Terrible cries of an
guish are said to emit from the tomb, as
though the memory of the FIRST known
tragedy still haunted the remains which
blind superstition believe to be deposited
there.-Philadelphi Press.

An Indspendent Gardener.

There must be something in garden
ing that cultivates independence and
obstinacy. My old gardener, with his
one helper, and not bit of glass on the
place save modest hothouse or two,
was as great tyrant as the swell Scotch
gardeners of my friends.
Andy" l would say, don't put those
double anemones in the center bed this
year, and please don't SOW double poppy
seed. They are such untidy flowers"
'Yes, ma'am."
With spring came the anemones; in
June, in a faraway corner, struggled up
the poppies.
"Andy, thought told you did not
want those things"
did We, ma'am? Deed an thought
them poppies would be more beneficialer

Poor old Andy! He never realized that
[ was an American, but would quash
many an argument of mine with:
That's the way they does in Ameri
ky. Isn't that more beneficialer?'
He had been in our country for few
years and privately told me ID was a
bard place. Kate Fields Washington

Crime in CorNa.

"They do not classify crime in Corea,"
said J. b. Winkler. at is just as seri-
GUS matter to be convicted Of stealing
a pound of rice as Of plotting treason or
of committing wholesale murder. There
is but one penalty for all crimes-to cut
off the headsNof culprits. During my
visit to that queer country pair Of val
liable sleeve buttons were stolen from
me. ] suspected a servant and he was
taken before the tribunals and subjected
to a rigorous examination. There was
absolutely no evidence tending to fasten
the crime upon him. l suspected the
fellow of having swallowed the buttons
to avoid discovery, and the authorities
politely offered to cut him open in search
Of evidence if l said so."-St. Louis

The Greatest Natural Bridge.

You all know of the Natural bridge
in Virginia, and perhaps have heard
how the first president of the United
States, in the athletic vigor of his youth,
climbed up and carved his name high
ON its cliff. A very beautiful and pic
turesque spot it is, too; but many of
them would not begin to make one of
the Natural bridge in the western edge
of the Tonton basin, Arizona, in the
same general region as Montezuma's
well and castle, but it is even less
known.

what the Grand canyon of the Colorado
is to the worlds chasms-the greatest,

A Car,ou. Northern Legend.

On the coast of Kamchatka there is
an island known as "The Island of Talk
ing Dogs" The curious story connected
with this little spot ~ land, and the one
which gives it the name il bears is this,
according to an odd Asiatic legend:
The first inhabitants of the far north
did not employ dogs, but drew their
walrus rib sleds themselves. After ages
had elapsed men made an attemp; touse
the dogs of that region-which, by the
way, talked just as men do--as beasts or
burden. The talking dogs, however.
argued the case with their would be
masters and were not long in proving
that they had enough to do to catch
game for themselves and the children of
men. But the men soon learned the use
of the bow and the spear, thus running
the occupation Of the talking dogs.
Again an attempt was made TO harness
them to sledges, but the talking CANNES
rebelled, and all swan ont to the island,
afterward known by the title given in
the opening. Here game was scarce
and the dogs soon turned cannibals, and
by the end of the first winter there were
only seven left.
Some human Kamchatkans volun-
teered TO row ont to the island and bring
of the remnant of the dog colony. But
the dogs refused to leave their barren
island, each earnestly asking: "What
people are you? We have never seen
you before" For this untruth Chami,
the dog god. took their voices from
them, and until this day they have been
the dumb servants of man.-St. Louis
