F olklore Story Of Eden

After the Lord had decided to expel
Adam and Eve from paradise, He sent
Gabriel, the Hungarian angel, to carry
out his order. Now. from the eating
of the fruit of T. e forbidden tree
Adam and Eve had become quite
shrewd, and they were endeavoring to
get out of the fix as best they could.
So they prepared big feast. received
Gabriel with the utmost kindness and
sought to win his heart by a lot of af-
fecrionate words. They succeeded. 1t
grieved Gabriel to expel these kind
hosts from their home. He therefore
returned to the Lord with the request
that somebody else be charged with
this unpleasant mission.
Thereupon the Lord sent Florian,
the Roumanian angel. because the
Lord knew Florian to be more obedi-
ent and less magnanimous. Adam
and Eve were just dining when Flo

WHAT A suLLFRoe Will EAT.
It Thinks Nothing of Swallowing
Birds and Young Ducks.

Many years ago, when collecting
birds in southern New England, |
shot on the salt marshes swallow,
which fell in a shallow pool in the
marsh, says a writer in Forest and
Stream. My brother. who happened
to be standing near the pool, saw the
bird fall and saw a huge bullfrog
make two or three sprawling leaps
over the mud and through the water
and swallow the bird. When l came
up the head of the bullfrog remained
above water with the wings of the
swallow sticking out of the corners of
his mouth.
Recently a story was told me by
friend who resides at Flushing, l.. l.,
of certain happenings on neighbor's
place. This neishbor has some wat
er inclosed in which he keeps soma
comesticated wild fowl, and not long
ago. the opportunity occurring to pur-
chase five gigantic bullfrogs, he In
troduced them into the water.
This spring, as it seemed a posi-
bility that some of his wild duck could
breed, an effort was made to get rid
of the frogs for fear they might in,
jure the ducklings, and three of them
were killed. but the other two could
not be found. Some time in May a
female pintail duck came off with
three young ones which, after two or
three days. disappeared and were not
seen again. A day or two after their
disappearance the missing bullfrogs
were seen and killed and in their
stomachs were found the remains of
the little pintails. fancy that there
is nothing living that bullfrog will
not eat.

BEST CALLING FOR WOMEN.
English Writer Lauds the Benefits Of
Horticulture.


An English writer has discovered
that horticulture is the only proper
calling for a woman to pursue. 1t is
impossible. he asserts. for the aver
age woman to pass an examination
that we men call "stiff" without doing
herself serious harm. both physically
and mentally. though she may come
through a winner. And it is just as
impossible for her to adopt any pro-
fession that requires much study and
whole weeks, months. yea, and years,
to be spent in an Office without be-
coming sooner or later as mad as the
proverbial March hare, or, at the
least, without altering her figure
greatly for the worse. But in dig
ging. planting and sowing she paints
roses on her cheeks, rounds her limbs
and brightens her eyes. The pretti-
est women this writer has ever seen.
as well as the strongest, mentally and
physically. were found among those
few British women who spend their
lives in the open air while the plain
est faces and clumsiest figures were
observed among actresses.
