FINNISH HONESTY.
In No Other Country are Life and
Property So Safe as Finland.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
1t might be rash perhaps to as
scrt that among the criteria Of
nations civilization security of
life and property deserves a promi-
nent place, but it is certainly quite
safe to affirm that in no other
European state, not even in Swe-
den and Norway, is life and prop
erty so secure as in Finland. The
confident, matter-Of-fact way i'm
which trunks, parcels and port
manteauS are left for hours in the
public streets of cities without any
one to look after them could not
fail to edify an Englishman or a
Belgian, whose portable property
often seems to disappear by magic.
In the country districts the
| houses are for the most part I'M
bolted, unbarred and unlocked.
Then again it is no uncommon
| thing for blooming girl Of seven
teen or young married woman to
drive alone in her cart a distance
of fifty or sixty miles, through
dense forests and by the shores of
| gloomy lakes, conveying the fami-
ly's butter, cheese and eggs to mar
ket, in town, and then to return
home alone with the proceeds.
| Finnish honesty is proverbial.
In trade the Firms, as rule, are
not only scrupulously honest; they
are herOically, quiXOtically so. A
tradesman will tell you the whole
truth about his wares, even when
when he knows perfectly well that
by doing so he loses a customer
whom the partial truth, a slight
suppressio veri, would have secured
! him.
"This seems exactly the kind of
apparatus | am looking for" | said
to a merchant in Helsingfors some
months ago, in reference to an ar
ticle that cost about fl5, "and |
will buy it at once if, knowing
what | want it for, you can honest
~ recommend me to take it,"
"NO, sir, | do not recommend you
to take it, nor have | anything in
stock just now that would suit
YOU"
And / left the shop and pur-
chased what | wanted elsewhere.
"Here's your fare" | said to a
peasant in the interior who had
driven me for three hours through
the woods on his drosky, handing
him four shillings.
"No, sir; that's double my fare"
he replied, returning to me half
the money.
And when | told him he might
keep it for his honesty, he slightly
nodded his thanks, with the dig
nifty of one of natures gentlemen,
from which defiant pride and cring-
ing obsequiousness were equally
absent.

THE FIRST MRS. ADAM.
He Was Lilith, and Was Expelled
After Being $50 Years Mar
Rod

Whether Lilith was one Of the
female creation of Chapter l., or a
demon, or something between the
two, she was, considered matrimo-
nially, a complete failure, says
All the Year Round. She was eX-
PEELED after living with Adam 80
years, and subsequently became
the wife OF Satan, by whom she
was the mother of the Jinns, so
familiar in Persian fairy lore.
The emphatic remark Of Adam
when he first saw Eve. "This is
now bone of my bones and flesh Of
my fish," makes, it is suggested, a
comparison between Eve and the
beautiful but fiendlike Lilith, not
complimentary to the latter, while
the reference in the birth OF Seth
to him as Adams son in his own
likeness, after his image" conveys
a painful hint Of the uncanny Off
spring horn to Adam and Lilith.
Perhaps in revenge for this Lii
lith-the name occurs translated
might monster" in Saiah XXXiv.-
became the sworn foe OF the chill
dren, whom she was wont to stran-
Gle with one Of her glorious golden
hairs, unless the watchfulness Of
mothers drove her away. 1t has,
indeed, been gravely suggested by
an etymologist Of great daring
that our word lullaby is simply a
corruption of "Lilla abi," Lilith,
avaunt which mothers and nurses
would Groom over the cradles or
write on the doorpost.

CHARLOTTE BRoNTE.
She Was a Poor Talker and Drove
Thackery Out of the House.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
In her charming memoirs Mrs.
Thackery Richie tells Of an even
ing with Charlotte Bronte, the au-
thor of Jane Eyre, spent at her
fathers house: Every one waited
for the brilliant conversation which
never began at all. Miss BrOntc
retired to the sofa in the study,
and murmered a low word now
and then to our kind governess,
Miss TruelOck. The room looked
dark, the lamp began to smoke a
little, the conversation grew dim
mer and more dim, the ladies sat
round still eXpectant, my father
was too much perturbeR by the
gloom and the silence to be able to
cope with it at all. Mrs. Brook
field, who was in the doorway by
the study, near the corner in which
Miss BrOnte was sitting, leaned
forward with a little common
place, since brilliance was not to
be the order of the evening.
"Do you like London, Miss
Bronte" she said another silence,
a pause, then Miss BrOnte answers,
"Ies and no." very graVely and
there the conversation drops.
"My sister and | We're too young

impressed, we might be, but not

liOneSs was lioness: and-Shall |
confess it?-at that time an extra
dish of biscuits was enough to
mark the evening. We felt all the
importance OF the occasion; tea
spread in the dining room, ladies
in the drawing room; we rOamed
about inconveniently, no doubt
and eXcitedly, and in one of my
excursions, crossing the hall, | was
surprised to see my father open
the front door with his hat on. He
put his fingers to his lips, walked
out into the darkness, and shut

long years afterward, when one
day Mrs. Proctor asked me if
knew what had happened once
when my father had invited a
party to meet Jane Eyre at his
house. 1t was one of the dullest
evenings she had ever spent in hel
life, she said. And then with {
good deal of humor, she described
the situatiOn-The ladies had al,
come expecting much delightful
conversation, and the gloom anC
constraint, and how finally, over
whelmed by the situation, my
father had quietly left the room

club.
