THE LEGENDARY ADAM AND EVE
Some Curious Particulars Furnished by
Jewish Writers.

Some Curious Particulars Furnished by
Jewish writers.
To the Scriptural account Of the cro-
alton and fall of Adam and Eve tho
Jewish writer's of the Talmud have
added many curious particulars. Ao-
cording to these myth-mongers, says
the st. Louis Republic, Adam, when
first created, was a giant of giants"
as far as stature goes-his head reach
ing into the heavens and his counte-
nance 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 a comatose condi-
tion, removed a portion of every limb
and bonel The first man thus lost q
part of his colossal stature, yet he re.
mained perfect and complete. Next,
the first "helpmeet" for the lord Of
creation was created in the person of
Lilith, who forsool Adam to become
the mistress of the air and the moth
er 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 inno-
cence. According to the Koran, all
the angels paid homage TO Adam ex-
eept Eblis, who, on account of his re-
tusal 30 to do, was expelled from Para
disc. To crafty q spirit of revenge,
Eblis loltered about the gates of the
garden Matching discord, until at last
he succeeded in separating the first
couple whom God had Joined togeth-
err" The record of the wanderinRs of
the unhappy pair after their expulsion
from the garden is very interesting,
but too long to even give q synopsis Of
II here. Suffice II 10 say that Adam
lived as penitent on the very ground
now occupied by the temple at Mecca,
and Eve in a cave on the side of Mount
Ararat, where, after a lapse of two
hundred years, she was rejoined 70

A Beautiful Custom.

In some portions of Tyrol a peculiar
and beautiful custom prevails. When
n girl is about to be married. before
church, her mother hands her kerr
chief. which is called a tear kerchief.
1t is made of newly spun linen. and
has never been used. 1t is with this
kerchief that she dries her tears when
she leaves her fathers house, and
while she stands at the altar. After
the marriage is over, and the bride
has gone with her husband to their
own new home, she folds up the kerr
chief and places it unwashed in her
linen closet, where it remains untouch-
ed. The tear kerchief has only per-
formed half of its mission. Children
are born, grow UP, marry. and move
away from the old home. Each
daughter receives from tho mother a
tear kerchicf. Her own still remains
where it was placed in the linen closet
on the dav of the marriage. Genera
tions come and go. The young rosy
bride has become q wrinkled old wo-
man. She may have survived her
husband and all her children. All her
friends may have died OFF. and still
that last present which she received
from her mother has not fulfilled its
object But it comes at last At last
the weary eyelids close for tie long.

hands are folded over the pulseless

JINGOlShi.

The New York Herald has followed up
its attack upon the Nicaragua canal by a
characteristic sneer at what it terms Presi-
dent Harrison's ingoistic tendencies and
vigorous foreign policy. If the Herald were
an avowedly English paper its course would
afford no cause fer surprise. Articles of a
similar tone have appeared in London pa
pers from time to time since Blaine became
Secretary Of State under Garfield. During
the years when we had only the relics OF a
navy the United States necessarily con-
dncted its foreign correspondence in low
tone of voice. We did not want to attract
too much attention. We knew that there
was not port in the United States a first
class warship could not steam into, and we
naturally avoided giving them proYoc Itiou.
When President Harrison assumed the
reius OF government we had half a dozen
modern warships and nine in progress of
quilting. We had also made such progress
in the manufacture of guns that defenses
had become simply matter Of time and
money. We had also at the head of the
Government a man of calm judgment and
high courage. The fact that we were in a
position TO repel attack would not have
warranted anything like jingoistic foreign
policy, but it undoubtedly added some force
10 the tone in which the State Department
conducted correspondence with foreign
powers. Whether Germany, England or
Chile was our antagonist the tone was the
same. There was DO iinGosm, neither was
there any hesitation in the assertion of a
policy the President deemed just and wise

graduates foreign nations on the fact that

A RED-LETTER DAY FOR OAKLAND

Oakland won two victories Monday-one
which gave her government into the hands
OF honest men and one which restores her
water front to the people. The latter would
have been Of little value without the for
mer. There would have been no consider
able advantage In action by the Legislature
placing the water front in care of a Council
that could not be trusted. THE CALL some
DAYS ago indicated the lines upon which the
municipal contest would be fought. The
plan Of battle was anything to beat Pardee.
The Republican bosses nominated Barker
10 hold as many Republicans as possible to
their party ticket and then did their best to
elect Fitzgerald. Il is what even in politics
is called a mean game. a Republican Of
fair standing who had right to the united
support of his party as it organized for the
municipal contest came out fourth in the
race. and with less than 1000 votes. The
bosses who induced Barker to run worked
early and late for his Democratic opponent.
On the part of the Non Partisans the issue
was made on the policy OF a Non-Partisan
government Of municipalities. They put
good men on their ticket and managed the
contest with marked ability. They had
arguments for welI-dIsposed citizens aud
steTner measures for the FOUNDERS whom
the bosses supplied with money. They
now bold in their hands the destinies of our
sister city. If they are true to their princi-
ples-and there is no reason to doubt that
they will be-they will open a bright pros
pect for tue city they have redeemed. As
DR.. Pardee said on Saturday night the day
was past when one or two Republican
schemers could rule the city. The political
career Of Republicans who Joined forces
with the Democrats to elect Fitzgerald may
be said to be closed. The people will not
trust them again. They risked all in los

WATER RATES.

The Board of Supervisors has passed an
ordinance reducing water rates by per
cent. Supervisor Denman presented a
schedule of rates calling for a 12B-psr-cent
reduction, but the bill of Supervisor Rogers
was adopted. The action of the Supervisors
indicates disposition on their part to do
the fair thing by the water company and
the rate-payers, so far as they can know
what the fair thing is. 1t will be very diff
cult 10 find out exactly what amount the
water company should be allowed interest
on, the more so as the company has not
preserved distinction between Investments
upon which interest should be allowed and
Improvements made out of current rev.
enues. Rates have been kept high to en-
able the company to make improvements,
and there does not seem any way TO distin-
guish between improvements made with
the cDmpany's capital and those made from
an excess of revenues. The public has
not always known whether an improve
ment which at once becomes part Of the
water property was made with the public's
money or with the capital of the COMPANY
There are cases also in which property has
been purchased and paid for in bonds Of
the company. The bonds thus issued are a
part Of the whole issue upon which interest
must be paid. But the property thus ac-
quired also figures as basis of stock issues
upon which it Is contended interest should
be allowed. The S-per-cent reduction is
better than nOthIng-in fact, good deal
better. 1t is the first exercise in good faith
on the part Of a Board Of Supervisors to fix
water rates that has been made in some
years. Next year the board Will have a
chance TO review the work it has done and
to make such further reductions as may
seem iudicinus
