AllusiOns to Eden in the Old Testa-
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 true Per-
sian paradise, situated somewhere in
that remote wonderland of Aryana
Faejo to which all Iranian tradition is
so fond of pointing back. The willy SER
pent is a 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 Osmuzd and spelling
his handiwork. He is not yet identified
with the terrible Satan, the accusing
angel who finds out mems evil thoughts
and deeds. He is simply a mischief
maker, and the punishment meted out
to him for his mischief reminds one of
many curious assage in the beast
epochs OF primitive peoples. AS in the
stories which tell why the mole is blind
or why the fox has bushy tail, the ser
pent's conduct is made to account for
some of his peculiar attributes. AS a
punishment he is made to crawl upon
his belly, and be forever an object OF
especial dread and loathing to all the
children Of Eve.-John Fiske, in At
lantic.

Once or twice a year the good house
wife has thorough house cleaning. The
house has been swept and busted every
day in the year, but the housewife knows
that in spite of vigilance dust accumu-
lates i'll cracks and corners, and is only
to be removed by special effort.
It's the same way with the body. You
look after it every day. You take all
the ordinary precautions of cleanliness
and health. Yet the body needs its
special cleaning to nd it of the accumu-
lations of waste and poisonous matter
which invite disease. Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, taken regu-
larly once or twice a year, would save
many sickness. 1t purifes the blood,
strengthens the stomach, and cleanses
the body of poisonous accumulations.

of work upon me at this time makes it
impossible for me to write at length.
Mr.. Mckinley announced In his Boston
speech that the policy of the government
respecting the Philippines was in the
hands of the American people. 1t is q
question which the people must settle and
much depends upon it's settlement.
I think it can be shown from a pecu-
mary standpoint that it will cost us more
to conquer the Philippines and keep them
in subsection than we shall be able to
make out of the enterprise, and what
money does return from the Philippines
will not find Its way to the pockets Of
those who supply sons for the army and
whose taxation furnish the sinews of war.
1t also invites oriental immigration to
compete with American labor.
But there is higher view to take Of it
than the money view. The principle Of
conquest Is wrong. Our nation has stead
lily contended against 1t and it is impos-
sible to calculate the far reaching effect
upon our people of a doctrine that would
tion of the nations policy. Those who op-
pose Imperialism plead nto for the Fill
pinos, but for the American people Our
nation is strong enough to do harm, but
1t ought to be too great to do wrong.
l feel confident that the sober second
thought of the American people will sus-
tain those who believe that the Filipinos
should be treated like the Cubans, namely:
Given their independence and protected
from outside interference.

ARREST OF CouNTERFE1rERs.
Offenders Promptly Given Prelimi-
nary Hearing and Bound Over.

LANCASTER, Pa, April 19.-The war
rants for the arrest Of Jacobs, his two
bookkeepers, Henry Brallier and Simon
Kleinordinger, w. T. Kendig, and his
foreman James Burns, John Doe" and
"B. +. Sercher," were sworn out by
United States Commissioner Henry F.
Edmunds, of Philadelphia. Secret Serv-
Ice Agent John ]. Wilkie, accompanied
by a dozen secret service detectives
came here this morning. Chief Wilkie
first issued attachments on the Fulton
National bank, the Farmers National
bank and the Northern National bank on
the deposits Of Jacobs in these institu-
tions amounting to $25,000. Jacobs was
then placed under arrest and later all
those named above, with the exception
of John Doe and "B. F. Sercher,'
these latter names being undoubtedly ,flc-
titious.
The accused were taken before United
States Commissioner B. F. Montgomery
and waived a hearing. United States
Commissioner James M. Beck, of Phila-
delphia, was present to conduct the
governments case.
The commissioner fixed Jacobs bail at
szS,O 900 and that Of Kendig and Burns at
bail tonight,-but Jacobs and Burns were
sent to jail and will be taken to Phila-
delphia tomorrow morning.
Secret service officers found over ton
of government paper in Kendig's ware
house, also the Monroe head of the $10o
silver certificate. This was turned over
to Chief Wilkie by Kendig. There was
other paraphernalia for the manufac-
ture Of counterfeit 500 note and one
for a $500 note. Neither of the plates
for the notes had ever been used.
No counterfeiting case in the history
of the government has given the secret
service people so much trouble as the
one just brought to a focus The coun-
terfeit United States silver certificate,
series of 1891, check letter &C." portrait
of James Monroe, was first discovered at
the Philadelphia subtreasury. So perfect
was the counterfeit in every detail that
for long time bankers and experts re-
fused to believe 1t was a counterfeit, and
insisted 1t was printed from the genuine
plate 1t was turned over to the secret
service division. and after a careful in
spection 1t was a pronounced a counter
felt. 1t was found that the notes had
been in circulation since 1897. When CHIEF
John e. Wilkie assumed charge of the
secret service division, in February. 1S9s.
he took UP the matter and assigned the
investigation to William I Burns of the
