Magyar Version Of the Expulsion
 From the Garden or Eden.

From the Garden or Eden.
 Among the folklore of the pcasantry ot Roumania and some of the adjoIn- ipg Magyar states of eastern Europe ls found the story of the expulsion of our first parents from the garden of Eden. It runs thus:
 When Adam and Eve fell God sent Gabriel, the Magyar angel to turn them out of Eden as a punishment for their sin. Gabriel was received most courteously. food and drink of the best being set before him. Now, Ga brlel had q kind heart and took pity upon the poor folk and would not ac- cept their hospitality. remembering his errand. So he returned and begged that some one else be sent tO eylct the sinners, as he really could not do it. The Raphael, the Roumanian angel, was sent and was received as Gabriel had been. He. however, was very fond of good dinner and SO he sat down and thoroughly enjoyed himself. The feast over. he told the crring pair his errand. They at once began Co weep most plteously and beg for mercy. Their bitter sorrow so touched his aft CT dinner heart that he, too, returned and asked that some one else be sent, as he could not possibly turn out the poor folk after accepting their hospital fly. Then it was that Michael, the German angel. was sent. He was re- celyed as the others by the trembling pair and treated even more sumptu. ously He sat down and enjoyed him self tlll the last mOrsel of food had vanished and there wasn't a drop of uquor left Then he arose, and, turn ing to his host and hostess, said, Now, then, out you go, and be quick about lt." Most plteously did Adam and Eve beg at least for time. even reminding hlm that he had partaken of their bread. AT in vain. Thus 1t was that our first parents were driven out of Eden.

what 10 ssid About Ears.

You never saw a poet or a painter with large coarse ears that stand out from the head Ike extended wings. That kind of an Ruricular appendage betokens coarseDess of mind. A long. narrow ear that Hes Hat to the head is a sign Of pugnacity. Never trust man with a thin. waferhke ear. Ho was born a hypocrite. lf not thief. A very small ear betOkens a triding mind, lack Ing decision. Ears set very h!gh on the head indicate narrowness of mind. A large, well shaped ear that does not spread itself to the breeze is indicative of generousneas. Most of the world compellers had large ears and well de- yeloped noses. Although there are 80 many millions of people in the world no two pairs of ears are alike. Each has a marked individuality.
