NH ARK TWAIN has Translated WI from the original" for the VI Christmas number of Harper's, the dairy of Eve. as a companion piece to Adams Diary" These are some of Eyes remarks:
 "Saturday.-I am almost a whole day old, now. I arrived yesterday. That is as 1t seems to me. And 1t must be so, for if there was y-before-yesterday should remember it. It could be, of course. that it did happen, and that I was not noticing.''
 For feel like an experiment. I feel exactly like an experiment; it would be impossible for a person to feel more like an experiment than I do, and so I am coming to feel convinced that that is what I am-an experiment; Just an ex- pertinent and nothing more.
 "Then if am an experiment, am I the whole of 1t? No, I think not; I think the rest of it is part of it. I am the main part of 1t, but I think the rest of it has It's share in the matter. Is my position assured or do I have to watch
 
 haps. Some instinct tells me that eternal , vigilance Is the price of supremacy. Chat Is good phrase, I think, for one so young).
 Everything looks better today than 1t did yesterday. In the rush of finishing up yesterday, the mountains were left in a ragged condition, and some of the plains were so cluttered with rubbish and remnants that the aspects were quite distressing.
 'I do love moons, they are so pretty and so romantic. I wish we had five or six; I would never go to bed; I should never get tired lying on the moss-bank and looking up at them.
 Stars are good, too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But sup pose I never can. You would be sur prised to find how far off they are, for they do not look 1t. When they first showed last night, I tried to knock some down with a pole, but 1t didn't reach. which astonished me; then I tried clods till I was all tired out. but I never got one. It was because I am left-handed and cannot throw good.

If 1t is a rep tile, and I suppose 1t is; for 1t has frow- sy hair and blue eyes. and looks like a reptile It has no hips; 1t tapers like a carrot; when 1t stands 1t spreads itself apart like a derrick; so I think 1t is reptile, though 1t may be architecture.
 "I was afraid of 1t at first, and started to run every time 1t turned around. for I thought it was going to chase me; but by and by I found it was only trying to get away, so after that I was not timid any more, but tracked 1t along, several hours, about twenty yards behind, which made 1t nervous and unhappy At last 1t was a good deal worried, and climbed a tree. I waited good while, then gave 1t up and went home.
 "Today the same thing over. I've got it up the tree again."
 "Sunday.-It is up there yet. Resting, apparently But that is subterfuge.
 II do wonder what 1t Is for; l never see 1t do anything.
 "When I found it could talk I felt new interest in it. for I love to talk; talk all day, and in my sleep, too, and I am very interesting, but if l had an-
