The Egg in Mythology.

The egg is mentioned in many of the
allegories scattered through the sacred books
of the BTahmins. In one it is the female
creator, who is first germ, then drop of
heavenly dew, pearl, and subsequently an
egg. In each of the many instances the
egg is enveloped in seven coverings, which,
breaking, become the seven upper and the
seven lower worlds. Upon its division into
two the shell becomes the heaven, and the
contents of the egg the world, the yolk
forming the dry land and the white the
waters. Again, Vishnu issues from the
egg with the sacred lotus in his hand, and
another legend relates how Vinata, daugh-
ter of Dashka and wife of Kasypa, one of
the seven self-born creators of the earth,
produced an egg from which was born
Garuda, the vehicle of Vishnu, We read
in the works of Wilson that "a similar ac-
count of the first aggregation of the ele-
ments in the form of an egg is given in all
Indian Puranas with the usual epithet
Hanna or Hiranya, golden, as it occurs in
Manu-" According to the Vishnu Purana
''Intellect, the unmanifested gross elements
inclusive, formed an egg, and the Lord Of
the Universe himself abided in it in the
character of Brahma. In that egg, o.,
Brahman were the continents, and seas
and mountains, the planets and divisions
of the universe, the god, the demons, and
mankind.
In the ordinances Of the great Hindu
lawgiver, Manu-, we find constant references
to the initial egg, disfgured by modern
Interpolation, it is true, but preserving
much of the original spirit, 'Removing the
darkness, the self-existent Lord. e.,
Vishnu-became visible, and wishing to
produce things from his essence, created
in the beginning water alone. In that
he cast seed. That became golden egg.
Whence this self-existent Lord He is
called This, and is spoken of as Darkness,
imperceptible, without definite qualities,
undiscoverable as if wholly in sleep" Hav-
ing dwelt in that egg for whole divine
year, che who is called in the world Brah-
ma" breaks the egg into three pieces, pro
duces the heaven from the upper portion,
forms the earth from the lower, and from
the middle calls into existence the sky and
!'the perpetual place of water" The Budd-
hists do not derive the origin of the great
founder of their religion from the same
source as the Brahmins, but in common
with them they carefully abstain from
eating eggs, lest they should destroy the
latent germ of life, and SO commit an
almost objectionable sin. The Chinese,
however, believe that their first man was
born from an egg which the god Tien
dropped to earth from heaven into the
waters. In the mythology of the Hellenic
nations the Horus-Apollo, the sun-god,
called into existence the phantom form of
Chemis, awhich floats on the ethereal
waves of the Empysean Sphere" by caus-
ing it to evolve from an egg. From Leda's
egg, too, Apollo and Latona were born,
as were both Castor and Pollux. With
some Greeks the ''firstborn of the world
was Dionysius, who sprang from the mum
dane egg, and from whom immortals, as
well as mortals, were derived.

financiers of this city were agreed
that the president had acted with
good judgment.
President Geo. ID. Williams, of
the Chemical National bank,
said: "This is truly the best
thing that could have happened.
President Cleveland deserves to be
commended for his prompt action.

sion of Congress on August Z, as
most wise. It's effect, it strikes
me, is sure to be good. 1t

stances alone can regulate this.

ever, is sure to be relieved"

South Carolina Selling Liquor.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 1.-The
so-called dispensary law, under
which the state of South Carolina
takes exclusive control of the sale
of intoxicating liquors within her
borders, goes into operation today.
Although it is calculated that the
state will probably make a profit
of $l,000,000, or the 100000 gal
Ions of liquor annually consumed
by its inhabitants, the primary OBJ
iect of the law was the regulation
of the liquor traffic, and not the
raising of revenue.
Under the new law, no person
can purchase less than half a pint
or more than five gallons Of any in
toxicating liquor, and it is only
procurable in sealed packages,
which must not be opened on the
premises where they are pur-
chased. Every purchaser has to
fill out blank application, stating
his age and residence, and for
whom and what the liquor is re-
Ouired.
