Ailusions to Eden in the Old Tesla
ment literature are extremely scarce,
and the story of Ewes temptation first
assumes prominence in the writings of
st. Paul. The marks of Zoroastrian
thought in it have often been pointed
out. This garden of Eden is a true Per-
sign paradise, situated somewhere in
that remote wonderland of Aryana

pent is genuine Parsee serpent, and
the spirit which animates him is that of
the malicious and tricksome Ahriman,
who takes delight in going about after
the good creator Ormuzd and spelling
his handiwork He is not vet identified
with the terrible Satan, the accusing
angel who finds out mems evil thoughts
and deeds. He is simply mischief
maker, and the punishment meted out
to him for his mischief reminds one of
many curious passage in the beast
epochs of primitive peoples. As in the
stories which tell why the mole is blind

some of his peculiar attributes. As a

What an amusing machine this is, and
what a curious, clicking sound it
makes! Though even now-and l read
your cylinder quite three hours ago
| hear its ticking less than the beat

that at first you liked the idea. 1t was
nice to hear your voice. I'd never really

without you.
How curious that your horse Cata-
peltes was only beaten by head! Are
two heads better than one heart be
cause few hours ago you had your
choice of either head or heart. Now
there is only my head left. And it has
suddenly become most unreasonable.
That is, ii even reasons. 70 hear Your

love play without a heroine could ever

Why, for instance, did you have only
two drinks this morning-in the play?
Surely a few more, judiciously inter

passion to the thing! Not that that
was wanting, either. And you did it
passing well, too. | find no fault on
that score. Then, again, why didn't
you drink champagne, instead of bran

your letter, effervescence plays a some

A LIONS TOOTHAcHE.
How "A Successful Job in De nistry OF
an Uncommon Kind Was
Performed.

How it happened the keepers of Cen
trail park, New York, cannot tell, but
one day the lion was sick. 1t was dur
ing the early rainy days of spring when
neuralgia was an everyday complaint;
and so no one thought it strange that
the king of beasts should suffer from
a malaise along with his subjects, the
less pretentious animals of the Central
park menagerie.
But an observant small boy happened
along that morning, and when he saw
the lion put his paw to his cheek and
groan, that boy knew that the lion had
a toothache. Nothing else" he told
the keeper, could bring such a look of
awful pain to the face of man or beast"
Now, the keepers are humane sort of
people, and, after they had watched the
antics of the lion for an hour, they de-
cided with the small boy that it GER
tanly was the toothache.
They held a consultation, and in
that consultation they decided it was
best TO pull the lions TOOTH For"
reasoned they, The will not use tooth
ache drops
Next came the problem ofSBraaA ARG the
tooth. All the dentists within a long
radius of Central park were telephoned
for, but each refused most emphat-
ically to pull the tooth of the lion. They
described over the telephone exactly
how it should be done, but when asked
to come and perform the operation,
they one and all pleaded previous
engagement.
So the keepers had to perform the
job themselves. They lassoed the great
fellow and pulled him out of the cage.
He came reluctantly, straining upon his
ropes, for he seemed to know that a
fresh pain was in store for him. But
he kept on groaGing, which showed
that his toothache did not let up even
with the presence of three dentists.
When they had thrown him upon a
stone floor and bound him limb to limb,
and had rebound his feet and fastened
them to iron posts, they took a big
plug of rubber and forced it into his
jaws, far back until he could not close
them.
Then came the fun. Upon his back,
lowlier than any other common beast,
as helpless as a day-old cub, lay the
monarch, ready for the operation.
1t was done with great forceps that
were fastened around the tooth, and
pressed downward into the gum, in that
one awful push which is known to every
one who has a tooth extracted in cold
blood. Then up came the forceps out
of the jaw, bringing the tooth, whole
and white. At the end of the root hung
little sac, which showed where the
trouble lay.
The monarch bore it pretty well,
although he did howl Justify while the
forceps were doing their work, and spit
profusely when the plug was taken out.
But he was glad to be release1 and, an
hour later, he was tearing smafl rvern-
imals to pieces and enjoying his dinner
as heartily as though he had never
known the pang of an aching molar.

Brush and Comb Cases

Cases for silver-backed brushes and
combs are made in melon shape of
strips of satin ribbon sewed together.
They are about as long as the brush
are interlined with a sheet of wadding
and lined with plain. thin silk. Each
end is gathered and held by small bow
to make the case upright. They are to
be preferred, except for their occasional
need of renewal, to the china or silver
trays, as they do not injure the bristles
as much as the others-N. Y. Post.
