TIE GARDEN OF EDEN.
Will the Mystery of its Exact Loca-
ton Ever be Solved?

Will the Mystery of its Exact Loca-
ton Ever be Solved?
The location of the earthly paradise or
garden of Eden is still a matter of dispute
among Orientalists and Scriptural scholars
of highest reputation. Some have en-
deavored to locate it by the fruits and
mineral productions named in the Biblical
descriptions as they appear in the second
chapter of Genesis; others by the rivers
mentioned in verses II to II of the same
chapter.
The weight of investigation and ira
dition incline to an agreement that the
Tigris and the Euphrates of modern
geography are the third and fourth rivers
mentioned in the Biblical description of
the garden. Those who agree SO far, differ
widely as to what rivers should now be
regarded as the ancient Pison and Gihon.
The Buddhistic scholars, although they
reject our Bible in the greater part, in
cline to the opinion that the Pison is the
sacred Ganges, and that the Gihon IS none
OF her t han the Nile. As to the last, it is
altogethe probable that they are correct
because the Biblical account plainly says
that Gihon "compasSeth the whole land
of Ethiopia"
Some Investigations affirm that Eden
was spot of paratively small area, To-
Gated on the tableands of what is now
Armenia, from which rise the Tigris and
the Euphrates. A few scholars of dis
tinction argue that the Adamic paradise
was located in Africa, in the vicinity OF
the Mountains of the Moon. Still another
school of Orientalsts locate the celebrated
garden in the vicinity Of the ancient city
of Babylon.
You will notice, however, that none OF
these theorists has been able to get the
four rivers mentioned in the Biblical ac-
count properly located. Neither have they
found place where one great river sep
arates into four heads" This being the
case, it is hardly necessary to add that the
exact location of Eden is mystery that
will proba bly, never be solved.

HELP THE GIRLS.
Children's Aid Society Working for
Home in Belfast.


The following self-explanatory circular
has just been issued by the Children's aid
society of Maine. The object desired is a
worthy one and deserves generous sup
port:
The Chldren's aid society of Maine has
raised $1,000, mostly In Belfast, towards the
purchase of home for girls. This home will
be kept open to girls from the whole State
There is "A desirable property in the market, well
adapted for such home, which can be pur-
chased at a low price, and money only Is lack
ing. The property is located near the schools
in Belfast, and at the same time is sufficiently
retired for a home. 1t is most desirable place
for girls, many of whom would be taken from
the abodes of poverty and crime, and being
placed under the elevating Influences of home
such as this society hopes to establish, will
learn to live pure womany lives
VIII not the churches, the Sunday schools, the
Christian Endeavor societies, the Epworth
league, and all who desire the elevation of man
kind lend helping hand?
Every dollar received will count toward the
purchase of home. The widows mite will be
fully appreciated. Little added to little will
make goodly sum.
The ladies of Belfast hold fair after the holt
days, to raise money to aid in the purchase of
a home, and will gladly receive any articles for
the same. They hope to raise considerable
sum from this source.

Talmage on Heredity.

Now, the longer 1 live the more be-
lieve in blood-good blood, bad blood
proud blood, humble blood, honest blood
thieving blood, heroic blood, cowardly
blood writes the Rev. T. De Witt Tai
mage in the December Ladies' Home
Journal. The tendency may skip gen
Grafton or two, but it is sure to come
out, as in little child you sometimes see
a similarity to a great-grandfathe whose
picture hangs on the wall.
That the physical and mental and moral
qualities are inherita BILE is patent to any
one who keeps his eyes open. The SINH
larity is SO striking sometimes as to be
amusing. Great families, regal or liter
airy, are apt to have the characteristics all
down through the generations, and what
is more perceptible in such families may
be seen on smaller scale in all families.
A thousand years have no power to oblit-
crate the difference.
The large lip OF the House of Austria is
seen in all the descendants, and is called
the Hapsburg lip. The House of Stuart
always means, in all generations, cruelty
ana Dlgotry ana senSuallty. witness
Queen of Scots. Witness Charles l and
Charles II. Witness James | and James
II, and all the others OF that imperial
line.
Scotch blood means persistence. Dutch
blood means cleanliness and good breed
ing. English blood means reverence for
the ancient. Welsh blood means re-
ligiosity. Danish blood means fondness
for the sea. Indian blood means roaming
disposition Celtic blood means fer
vidity. Roman blood means conquest.
The Jewish faculty for accumulation
you may trace clear back to Abraham, of
whom the Bible says, ole was rich in
silver and gold and cattle" and to Isaac
and Jacob, who had the same family
characteristics.

Santa Claus will be There.

am aware that there is too much ex-
travagance and competition in the matter
of Christmas gifts, but of course that is
generally understood. There is, however,
a phase of the question of making Christ
mas gifts which suggests the absence OF
Santa Claus altogether. can best illus
trate what mean by a true story.
During my sojOurn at Bar Harbor this
summer, | had occasion to ride frequently
down the Atlantic road to a little fishing
village where the fisher people catch lob
sters and all sorts of things. / went there
one day with friend for days fishing.
Wesecured as our escorts for the excursion
a little boy and his father, both typical
down casters, and possessing an the m
nocence of country people. The little boy
was particularly interesting. After we
had had our lines in the water awhile, my
friend said to the little boy.
"W hat do you catch here?"
The answer, drawled in the usual fisher
boy way, was not profoundly learned, but
it was the truth. He simply drawled:
"F-i-s-h!'
MY friend, whose bait didn't seem to
catch very we'll, then asked him, "W hat
do you catch fish with?"
The answer was simply, "B-a-i-t."
Just then my friend caught very in
significant specimen of tindom, and the
little boy, noticing her look OF contempt,
philosophically remarked:
You have-to-cat thing-you
-get-here."
We then became very much interested
in the bov, and asked him miscellaneous
questions At last we happened to speak
about Christmas. "What did Santa Claus
bring you last Christmas?' my friend
asked.
This was the reply: Gle didn't bring
nothing. Santa Claus -never-gets
out-here. ITS too far away-for
him.
Certainly the answer was pathetic.
Need | say that Santa Claus will get there,
far away as it is, this Christmas? This, in
my belief, is where Christmas presents
are most needed Mrs. II'm. Tod Hell
