The Legendary Adam and Eve.

To the Scriptural account Of the crea-
ton and fall of Adam and Eve the Jewish
writer's Of the Talmud have added many
curious particulars. According to these
mythmongers, Adam, when first created,
was 'giant of giants" as far as stature
goes. his head reaching into the heavens
and his countenance outshining the sun
in all its splendor. In olie place they
tell us that "the very angels stood in
awe of the man which God had created,
and all creatures hastened to worship
him." Then the Lord, in order to give
shi desp spsss ssep SONS Is asH aasms q 5s 5tsH
while he was in a comatose condition re-
moved portion Of every limb and bone!
The first man thus lost part of his CO.
lossal stature, yet he remained perfect
and complete. Next, the first .Ihelp-
meet" for tae lord of creation was Gre
ated in the person Of Lilith. who forsook
Adam to become the mistress OF the
air and the mother of demons" 90
After the departure Of Lilith, Eve was
created and married to Adam in the
presence of Jehovah and the angels, the
sun, moon and stars dancing together to
the angelic music rendered. Then the
supreme happiness Of the human pair
excited the envy of even the angels, and
the seraph Sammael tempted them and
finally succeeded in bringing about their
fall from innocence. Adam lived as a
penitent on the very ground now occu-
pied by the temple at Mecca, and Eve in
cave ON the side Of Mount Ararat.
where, after lapse Of 200 years, she
was rejoined to Adam.-St. Louis Re
