The following extracts may interest those OF your
readers who anxious to know where Cain got
his wife. Iilit. The Hebrews make use OF this
word to signify q spectre or ghost which takes
away or kills young children in the night time,
for which reason, as soon sny Hebrew woman
Is brought to bed. they place little bits OF paper
at the four corners OF the room. where the woman
lies in, with these words writ upon them: Adam
and Eve. Lii: get thee gone. with the names Of
three angels, and this they do to secure the child
from all manner OF sorccry or enehantment. This
i.iiit, according to the Hebrew stories. was the

been more devils than saints In the world since
Adams time. there may be some truth In It. and
Cain may very likely have got one or more OF

so many devils on earth to the present time.

Don't serve soup on wash days. The
liquid is a stimulant. 1t warns up the
stomach, gives tone to the tissues,
sharpens the appetite and makes the
gastric system fairly melt with longing.
Soup is capital prelude to a feast, but
in time of famine. economy and hard
luck. bread, potatoes. meat or any other
heavyweight food will subdue the appe-
lite; unfortunately. 1t will also depress
the digestive organs. unless the sauce
burger comes to the rescue.
