ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF WOMAN.
a Story That General Horace Porter Tells
of Ancient and Modern History.

a Story That General Horace Porter Tells
| of Ancient and Modern History.
AT New England dinner General
Horace Porter was asked to reply to
the toast of Woman" Of course a
story was expected from him. He
selected one that was familiar to
everybody, and this is, to a degree.
the way he told it:
"Woman's first home was in the
Garden of Eden. There man FIRST
married woman. Strange that the
lucldent should have suggested to
Milton the Paradise Lost Man was
placed in profound sleep. A rib was
taken from his side; from it woman
was created and she became his wife.
Evil minded persons consta.-ssy tell
us that this mans first sleep rctame
his last repose, but if woman be
given at times to that contrariety Of
thought and perversity< of mind
which sometimes passeth all under
standing, it must be suggested in her
favor that she was created out of the
crookedest part of man.
THE Rabbits have asdifferent the
DRY regarding creation. They go
back to the time when we were all
monkeys. They insist that man was
originally created with kind of
Darwinian tail, and thatin the proc
ess OF evolution that caudal append
age was removed and created into
woman. This might better account
Tor those caudle lectures which wom-
an is in the habit of delivering, and
some color is given toathis theory
from the fact that husbands, even
down to the present day, seem to in
herlt a general disposition to leave
their wives behind. The first wom-
an, finding no other man in that gar
den except her own husband, took to
flirting with the devil.
'The race might have been saved
much tribulation if Eden had been
located in some calm and tranquil
land like Ireland. There would at
least have been no snakes there to
get into the garden. Now women in
her first efforts after knowledge
showed her true female inquisitive-
ness in her cross examination of the
serpent, and in commemoration of
that incident the serpent seems to
have been doubled up into a kind of
knot and used in nearly all languages
as a sign of interrogation. Then came
the exodus from the garden. Our
first parents had to change their
whole manner of living. We are
painfully reminded of it to this day
every time the tailor's or dress
makers bill is handed in.
adam and Eve were no doubt the
originators of the Fenian organiza-
ton, the first people that ever resort
ed to the wearing of the green. But
then their domestic troubles began.
The woman's favorite son was killed
with club, and married women even
to this day seem to have an instinct
i've horror of clubs The first woman
learned that it was Cain that raised
the club Woman has since learned
it is club that raises Cain. New

A Fatal Weapon.

The eminent naturalist, the late
Frank auckland, when a surgeon in
the Second Life guards, was one day
called to attend to a trooper who had
blown his brains out with a pistol.
The man died, and some time after
ward a belief in luck, either good or
bad, prompted Buckland to inquire
what had become of the weapon.
The colonel showed him the firearm
readily, but laughed when auckland
declared that he thought it would be
best to destroy the fatal weapon.
Nevertheless only short time after
auckland was called to attend to the
colonels servant, who had attempted
to kill himself with the very same
pistol. London HtBits.

Shearing CameIs In China,

Cancels wool, used for padding
clothes, is an article of considerable
traffic in North China, and when
spring zephyrs take the place of win
ter blasts the herdsmen of the pla-
teau shear their camels by process
which preserves the merit of extreme
simplicity, pulling out by hand what
ever has not been shed naturally.
Many animals are kept for the sole
purpose of yielding wool, but the
amount obtainable from each is
singularly disproportioned to the
huge bulk of its producer, A heavy
fleece taken from full grown camel
will seldom average over seven
pounds, while IS is a high price for
the picul of 1873 pounds.-N. B. Den
nys in Century.

Ancient Worship of Animals.

The figures of the gods in ancient
Egypt were represented on the monu-
ments for ages in animal form. The
organization of the local population
ran on totem lines. Each city had
different beast gods. In the royal
genealogies, beasts are named as an
cestors, showing that the early
Egyptians actually considered them
selves descendants of animals. The
primitive element in the early Greek
religion has been preserved in the
sacred chapters" fragments of
which have been given us by He
rodotus, Pausanias and others-prov-
ing that the Oldest images of the
Grecian gods were represented in
animal form, and that the different
royal houses claimed descent from
animals, as do the.savages of America
and Australia.
Mr.. j. McLennan, in his papers on
'The Worship of Plants and Ami
mails" calls our attention to many
evidences that the early Romans as
well as the Greeks worshiped totems.

The Mecca of Visitors.

That New York is a mecca for all
America and the resort even of for
eigners must be impressed upon any
man that frequents the clubs. There
is no conspicuous club in town that
is not visited every month by men
from nearly all the states and terri
tories and by strangers from remote
foreign parts. The visitors list of
one club for single week shows the
names of persons from Boston, New
Orleans, Chicago, Cleveland, Paris
and small cities in North Dakota,
Maryland and New Hampshire, while
one name is that of a Chinaman.-

GETTING SQUARE.
How a Circus Attendant Got Even with a
Cranky Gle1eton

How Circus Attendant Got Even with q
Cranky Skeleton.
The general public is not acquaint-
ed with the manner in which some
employees are hired for a circus.
Some of the situations in the "side
show" are irksome, and in order to
retain the right man in a place he is
hired with what is called a "hold
back"-that is, he is to receive, for
instance, fifty dollars month sal
airy, but gets only fifteen dollars
month, the other thirty five dollars
being retained until the close of the
circus season, when it is always paid
to him in lump.
Messrs. Hagar and Henshaw, the
managers Of the side show" of the
Barnum circus, have always had con
siderable difficulty in getting man
to stay the season out and take care
of the living skeleton, owing to the
general scussedness" of all such
freaks" In the case of the skele-
ton he had to be carried to and from
every performance, to meals, etc., IN
storm, rain and hot weather, and the
attendant was compelled to bear all
the grumblings and complaints of
the skeleton with the added phases
OF i'll temper and abuse. f.s 81
One season when the show closed
and the attendant of The skeleton had
received all the money due him for
the seasons work, including his
'hold back" he felt as if he would
like to square accounts with the skel-
eton; so, after the last performance,
taking the skeleton in his arms, he
carried him, not to the sleeping car,
but away off in the fields, and plac-
ing him beside a fence left him there
with the remark: '"There You have
abused me all summer, and now, darn
you, I'll get square. You can stay
where you are until come for you
next season.
After an hour or two the skeleton
was missed, and all hands were sent
in search for him, when at o'clock
in the morning he was found lying
IN the wet grass chilled to the mar
row, as it was an easy thing to chill
him to the bone, owing to the alb
sence of fesh.-New York Tribune.

The Drawbridge Keepers Eeroism.

Drecker, while stationed at his post
of duty at the drawbridge above the
Passaic river, heard the whistle of az
approaching express train In his
haste to close the draw, which he haG
opened for a passing ship, he knocks {.
his six-year-old boy into the rive.
Whatshouldh he do? Savof is only boy
or the trainload of passens trs rushing
toward the open chasm? What men
tai agony was involved in the choice.
Nothing but higl, sense of moral
duty and with quick action could
save the passengers. AS the child
sank from his view Drecker swung
the heavy draw into place and then
only did he spring into the river after
his child. TWAS too late, but train
crowded with passengers whirled
past in safety and ignorant of the
gatekeeper's heroism Thiss seems to
me the bravest act ever personally
knew.-Cor. New York Press.

THE SUNDAY SIDE.

Inc world has many a Joy to give,
Many token OF balm and bliss
OF refuge and rest for the troubled breast
We blindly miss
ana IN darkness and dizziness we grope along
Lamenting ever the light denied.
4naC would soon shine in did we once begin
10 walk through life on the Sunday side.
Inc weekday trouble and weekday toll
Like dark miasma obscure the way.
AND the gods we love, as we daily prove,
Are gods of clay.
But later things we may hope to reach.
II we follow the steps of better guide,
For the life is vain that does not contain
little bit of the Sunday side.
The houses we build may far excel
The costly palaces of the east,
And jewels most rare and blossoms fair
May grace the feast
bQt u Is not home in the sweetest sense,
II the doors and windows so long and wide.
AND the hearts that within their fancies spin.
open not out on the Sunday side.
For it's all a folly and all a waste
To spend our lives, as it were, for naught.
The good to shun and to have not one
Uplifting thought
And where'er in the world it's our lot to dwell
In rustic cottage or halls of pride,
1here's a chance, I'm sure, for US all to secure
A little bit of the Sundayside.
