The old Talmudists had queer leg
end concerning the nrst pair created
By the Almighty. According to the
story, Lilith was Adams original
''helpmeet," and Eve was the after CON.
sideration. The Talmud says that Lilith
was created Just as Adam was-out Of
the dust Of the earth Soon after the
breath of life had been breathed into
her ears (you will remember that the
Bible says ''nostrils" in Adams easel
her entire nature changed to such an
extent that she became veritable de-
mon. About this time the devil came
along. and, recognizing in Adams wife
all that was necessary to make first
class governess Of the internal regions.
persuaded her to quit the first man, and
20 with him into the upper regions OF
the air." To us this seems like queer
place for the location Of hell, but that
is the direction the pair are said to have
taken when they left Adam as the sole
occupant Of the garden. At home with
the king of the sulphurous domain, she
became the mother Of devils, and then
deserted Pluto and became "specter OF
darkness.
After this Transformation her sole de-
light appears to have been in the de-
struction of innocent babes It is even
said that our word "lullaby" is cor
ruption of an oriental term, "lilla abb,
which means "Avaunt," or "Begone,
Lilith. The ignorant and superstitious
Jews of the far east still tie amulets or
charms around the necks waists, wrists
or ankles of their babes in order to pre-
serve them from Lilith 3 evil intentions.

In Sargent's Studio.

Sargent's studio is always sociable
place. Unlike many artists, the presence
of visitors or companions does not dis
turb him when he is painting. He seems
to work without obvious exertion even
in his intensest activity. When his
models are resting, he fills up the gap
by strumming on the piano or guitar, "
says one of his friends "His manner
while at work is that Of man Of con-
summate address and does not show
physical or mental effort" He knows
thoroughly we'll what he is about and
what his capabilities are, so that while
he searches the truth in his pictorial
rendering of what is before him, and
often repaints part Of his picture en-
tirely in the effort to make it as perfect
as possible, he works with confidence.
He has never been allied with any revo.
lutionary movements in art, and. while
novelty appeals to him in things seen.
he shuns all passing crazes or new doc.
trines. William A. Coffin in Century.

The free silverite says prices OF heat,
&C., would 60 up with the increased
coinage of silver. Let's see what the
facts are. There are now over seven
times as many silver dollars in his
country as there were in 1873. If wheat
was worth rs cents bushel then, it
ought to be worth $5.25 cents now. The
price of wheat is governed like that oi
other products, by the laws of supply
and demand. If we had ten thousand
millions of silver dollars stacked mp in
our vaults, it wouldn't raise the value Of

mands Of the hour. These gentlemen Of

OF course there arc, Theoretically, some
specious arguments for the present CON
stitutional provisions with reference to
the selection and organization of the
senate. Theoretically the senators arc
a check on the popular passions OF
the house Practically they are
more revolutionary than the house.
Theoretically we are supposed by
the present arrangement to secure
the greatest and most distinguished men
in tho senate from the different States
Actually we have got some of the noisiest
