Baboura, the First created woman.

According to our Bible and traditions
in general, the first woman was Adam s
"helpIneet one we call Eve. The
Hebrew Talmudists tell of another and
previous wife of ''our Father ADAM If
we are to believe their story, there was a
woman created on the same day when
Adam was fashioned from the dust of the
earth. This first woman was Lilith. She
proved q faithless wife and finally eloped
with satan, becoming the mother of devils.
Some little time after this Adam sighed
for new wife, and it was then that God
caused the famous sleep which resulted
in the first man losing one of his ribs and
getting wife instead.
But the people (natives) of Madagascar
don't believe any such tame tales. Thew
know all about the first woman and how
she came into the world. According 60
their story, her name was Baboura, and
her mode of entering the world was some
what peculiar. The first man, like our
Father Adam, was placed in garden.
One of the brambles growing therein, and
which he had neglected to remove, was
well provided with thorns. One of these
prioked the leg of the lonely man, causing
a boil to form thereon. When that first
Madagascar boil burst, woman sprang
out through it. This WAS Baboura, the
first woman Of Madagascar.
The above legend is very curious in the
light of the fact that there are dozens of
native sea islanders who believe that the
first woman entered this world through
some sort of q sore on q mans body. st.

At times they were called out three ami

The waves had been constantly break

during the morning of Feb. 18th, an
enormous sea came on board sweeping

they were simply struggling among the

Hard Experience of Gloucester Crew
Cutting Ice to Keep the Vessel from
Being Taken Under-Masks Made to
Keep 1.-THE Biting Cold From Their
Faces.
Storm news is coming in slowly, but
there is enough to show that vessels and
especially fishermen ON the banks must
have encountered the worst possible
weather, and have passed through many
dangers. The experience of ons fisher
man given below shows that the ice from
the north has reached the banks and left
them no anchorage there, and bank fish
ernien must have had the worst fishing
weather on record. Many bank fisher
men are out, and it is probable that the
experience of one will be found to have
been that Of all, although they may not
all have been able to make so successful
fight against les and cold. The story
given below is one of the most thrilling
yet related. and shows viyidly the dam
gers encountered by the fishermen dur
ing the winter season. The long, low
banS OF fog seen from this city, but in
the distance indicated surely enough a
great storm on the ocean, but that storm
seems to have been general not only
along the Atlantic coast, but well out to
sea, and reached to the banks.

Capt. Thorpe. is in the
lower harbor, and he and his crew of IS
men passed through an experience the

season. How they lived through it lie
a mystery. Out Of Eve weeks they had
only four days during which they could

WATER NOT POPULAR.
A Medical View Of Its Use Three Centuries
Ago.

A Medical View of Its Use Three Centuries
Ago.
1t needed a very bold man to resist the
medical testimony of three centuries ago
against water drinking. Few writer's can
be found to say good word for it. One
or two only are concerned to maintain
that, when begun in early life, it may be
pretty freely drunk with impunity," and
they quote the curious instance given by
Sir Thomas Elyot in his Castle Of
HEALTH 1541, of the Cornish men, "many
of the poorer sort, which never, or very
seldom, drink any other drink, be not
withstanding strong Of body and like and
live we'll until they be of great age"
Thomas Cogan, the medical schoolmaster
of Manchester fame, confessed in mis-
Haven Of HEALTH" 1859, designed for
the use of students, that he knew some
who drink cold water at night or fasting
in the morning without hurt, and DR..
James Hart, writing about so years later,
could even claim among his acquaintance
"some honorable and worshipful ladies
who drink little other drink, and yet enjoy
more perfect health than most of them
that drink of the strongest The phe-
nomenon was undeniable, but the natural
inference was none the less to be resisted.
Sir Thomas Elyot himself is very GER
tair, i'll spite of the Cornish men, that
"there be in water causes of divers dis
eases, as OF swelling of the spleen and
liver" He complains oddly also that Sit
fiitteth and swimmeth,'' and concludes
that ito young men, and them that be of
hot compilations, it doeth less harm, and
sometimes it profteth, but to them that
are feeble, old and melancholy it is not
convenient" Water is not wholesome

went home in despair.
On the way she met one of her neigh

The old woman, who was very simple
hearted, did not understand intrigue,
and taking the advice literally put into
her pocket an Old piece of bacon she hap
pened to have and returned to the castle.
The lord was walking before the door,
his hands behind him.
She went softly up on tiptoe and rub

He turned quickly and asked what she
was doing.
