The Legendary Adam, and Eve.

To the Scriptural account of the crea-
tion and fall of Adam and Eve the Jewish
writers 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 one 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
the angels some idea of his power, caused
deep sleep to come over Adam, and
while he was In comatose condition re-
moved portion of every limb and bonel
The first man thus lost part of his co.
lossal stature, yet he remained perfect
and complete. Next, the first "help-
meet" for the 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"
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.

The Woman and the Rose,

q, A traveller stopped at little cabin in
the Georgia woods. He wore white
rose on his coat--one that a little girl
had plucked and pinned there as he was

A woman entered the cabin. She stood
and gazed at the rose a moment. Then,
darting forward, she tore it from the
strangers coat and stamped it on the
rude floor.
"Why did you do that2" asked the
stranger leaping to his feet.
"Hush!" said a man who was sitting
near. "That's my wife, an-an-she

A Legend About Lacemaking.

Lacemaking is by no means 80 old an
industry as most persons suppose. There
is no proof that it existed previously to
the fifteenth century, and the Oldest
known painting in which it appears is a
portrait Of lady in the academy at
Venice, painted by Caspaccio, who died
about 1923. The legend concerning the
origin Of the art is as follows: A young
fisherman of the Adriatic was betrothed
to young and beautiful girl of one Of
the isles of the lagoon. Industrious as
she was beautiful, the girl made a new
net for her lover, who took it with him
on board his boat. The first time he cast
it into the sea he dragged therefrom an
exquisite petrified wrack grass which he
hastened to present to his fiancee. But
war breaking out the fisherman was
pressed into the service Of the Venetian
navy. The poor girl wept at the depar-
ture of her lover and contemplated his
last gift to her. But while absorbed In
following the intricate tracery of the
wrack grass she began to twist and plait
the threads weighted with small beads
which hung around her net. Little by
little she wrought an imitation of the
petrifcation, and thus was created the
bobbin lace.-Washington Star.
