THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
Ceyl~n's Tradition About Adam ana
Ewes First Habitation.

Ceyl4n's Tradition About Adam ana
Ewes First Habitation.
Ceylon, in local tradition, was the
garden Of Eden, and you will be
shown Adams peak to prove it, and
Admins bridge, the chain of rocks and
islets which the maps show stretching
across from Ceylon to the coast of In
dia. Eve, or Heba, as the eastern sto-
~ calls her, was well satisfied with
her lot in the garden Of Ceylon, but
Atami, manlike, showed q disposition
to rove, or, as we might now say, emil
CRATE. One day while wandering on
the west coast he met a strange man,
VINO in the course of conversation held
before him a fascinating panorama Of
the lovely country across the waters
gardens and rich orchards, valleys
teeming with birds and gazelles and
all the rest. Atami had seen nothing
like it in Ceylon.t He had always been
trying to coaX Heba, into emigration
without success, but now his mind was
made up, and he went home to the
shades Of Adams peak and ordered
her peremptorily to pack up and make
ready for a start. Heba pleaded III
vain, but Atami was persistent. and
led the way across Adams bridge
to India, where he found, to his dis
may, a dreary and forbidding wilder
ness. The panorama man lit will he
readily guessed who lie was) had dc.
ceived Atami, and the disappointed
wanderer fell into despair. Then 1t
was that the angel messenger came
and gave the disobedient Atami orders
to go;on into the desert and wild places
and suffer the punishment that was
his due. Atlantis nobility Of spirit
showed itself here, for he begged the
angel to intercede that his own pun
ishment might be doubled and Hebo
permitted to return to the garden of
Eden and be given a fresh mate and
a fresh starr! You will be apt to think
that this chivalric example of gallan-
try set by the heroic Atami has not
been generally emulated by his &c.
scendants in that corner of the world
when you see q native walking along
enjoying a smoke or u chew of bhang
while his wife struggles YEARLY be.

DIAMOND
Few Caught Owing to Their Inge

ew Caught Owing to Their InRe-
nuity In Hiding Gems.
Diamond smugglers. are a constant
source Of worry to u.s." said the Gus
toms house Inspector. despite every
%precaution taken here and abroad to
spot them, not more than 10 per cent
are caught with the goods. There seems
to be no limit to the devilish ingenuity
employed by these-I was going to say
g~entry-but there are quite as many
women in the business as men.
1T is really wonderful, when you
come to think Of it, that we are ever
able to make a good haul when you
consider how easily diamonds can be
concealed. Hollow heels are a favorite
receptacle forithe, precious stones, ana
4 understand that there are. places fir
Europe where you can buy shoes spe-
jcially. constructed with spaces in the
heels.
II remember one woman-she is still
in the business who displayed great in
genuity in smuggling diamonds. It
was only by chance that we caught her
atone Of her tricks. She arrived with
a very striking Paris bonnet, which
was ~ornamented with punches ,%of
grapes. While we were examining her
baggage this dream Of a hat blew off
and was smashed by a passing truck.
T rushed CALAMITY to recover the hat
and then saw that each Of the grapes
contained q, diamond or precious stone.
She got what a left. of the hat. but
nothing more. -.
"''What can a man of ordinary per-
ception do with such people? They
will best him every time unless he's
gifted with second sight. l never see
a chap with long hair but I think of
the day we picked $4,000 worth Of
stones from q fellows head who wore
a pompadour like a brush heap.
,,""No, we can't keep up with all their
tricks and don't expect to. It's the be-
'havior Of the smuggler that generally
gives him away. When we see a man
or woman act1g uneasy, nervous, be-
traying his or ner guilt by gestures, We
have him or her searched. One gets to
know the s.nuggler face after a time,
and so captures are made."-New York

Killing a Robin.

There are persons at the present day
and not all old women either-who
believe that. killing a robin will bring
BAG lack. According to ancient belief,
the storm cloud was a huge bird. The
Arabians represented his wings as
measuring 10000 fathoms.- This bird
lived on worms, the latter being the
streaks of lightning accompanying
storms. The Germans remodeled the
fiction by. creating the god Thor, whose
bird was the robin. Consequently to
kill d robin first meant death by light.
