FIssr OF ALL THE EvicTIoNs.
Maeyars Have a Version Of Expul.
sion From the Garden.


Among the folklore Of the peasant
ry Of Roumania and some Of the ad-
joining Magyar states Of eastern Eu-
rope is found the story Of the expul-
sion 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
briel had a kind heart and took pity
upon the poor folk and would not
accept their hospitality, remembering
his errand. So he returned and
begged that someone else be sent to
evict the sinners. as he really could
not do it. Then Raphael, the ROuma-
nian angel. was sent and was re
ceiyed as Gabriel had been. He. how
ever, was very fond OF good dinner
and so he sat down and thoroughly
enjoyed himself The feast over, ne
told the erring pair his errand. They
at once began to weep most piteously
and beg for mercy. Their bitter sor-
row so touched his after-dinner heart
that he, too, returned and asked that
somone else be sent, as he could not
possibly turn out the poor folk after
accepting their hospitality. Then 1t
was that Micnael, the German angel,
was sent. He was received as the
others by the trembling pair and
treated even more sumptuously. He
sat down and enjoyed himself till the
last morsel Of food had vanished and
there wasn't a drop of liquor left
Then he arose and, turning to his
host and hostess, said: Nov then,
out you go. and be quick about it."
Most piteously did Adam and Eve beg
at least for time. even reminding him
that he had partaken of their bread.
All in vain. Thus it was that our
first parents were driven out OF Eden.

MONEY MADE IN OK HORNS.
Trade Has Reached Large Proportions

arm chairs and rockers. OF which the
entire frames are made OF horns. OF
similar construction are easels. music
racks, picture frames, wall trophies
and baby cribs.
The industry was started about If
teen years ago by some poor Russian
Jews near the kosher slaughter house.
before tnaL tine the horns were sold
with the hoofs to the gIuemakers and
button manufacturers. They brought
but a few cents a pound and the glue
buyers had no trouble in getting all
the raw material they needed.
The manufacturers first prepared
the horns by boiling and using aka
lies. Afterward they found they could
secure better results by treatment
with cold alkaline solutions followed
by antiseptics. After the horns have
been cleaned they are scraped and
polished until they CLEAN like bur
nished metal. A few are vanished.
but the practice is not recommended
by the trade.-New York Evening
