woman who had just left the box with
her mother. Il am afraid hat Minnie's

She's been out for a month and saw a little

The familiar sights at the Horse Show

stand six feet away from the front of a

occupants. There are one or two families
in the circle Of hoxholders that always
attract this amount OF attention. That a

Lincoln's election to the Legislature
of Illinois in August, 1884, marks the
end Of the pioneer period Of his life.
He was done now with the wild care

jollity Of Clary's Grove, with odd jobhs
for his daily bread-with all the de-
tails Of frontier poverty. He contin-
ued for years to be very poor man,

lutely without money; but from this
time on he met and worked with men
of wider knowledge and better trained
minds than those he had known in
Gentryville and New Salem; while
the simple social life Of Vandalia,
where he went to attend the sessions
of the legislature, was more elegant
than anything he had yet seen.-St
Nicholas.

Not Likely to Escape.

Henry Vignaud, secretary Of the
American Embassy at Paris, enjoys
telling of an American who was being
shown the tomb of Napoleon. As the
loquacious guide referred to the va
rious points of interest in connection
with the tomb, the American evinced
the greatest interest in all that was
said.
This immense sarcophagus," de.
claimed the guide, weighs forty tons.
Inside of that, sir, is steel. receptacle
weighing twelve tons, and inside of
that is leaden casket, hermetically
sealed. weighing over two tons. Inside
of that rests a mahogany coffin con-
tanning the remains of the great man."
For moment the American was
silent, as if in deep meditation. Then
he said:
ut seems to me that you've got him
all right. If he ever gets out, cable
me at my expense. ."-Success Magazine.

AN ANCIENT MYSTERY.
Scholars Still Trying to Locate the
Garden of Eden.

Scholars Still Trying to Locate the
Garden of Eden.
The location of the earthly paradise
or garden of Eden is still matter of
dispute among Orientalsts and scrip
tural scholars of highest reputation,
says the Brooklyn Citizen. Some have
endeavored to locate it by the fruits
and mineral productions named in the
biblical descriptions as they appear
in the second chapter Of Genesis; 9th
ers by the rivers mentioned in verses
IL to IA of the above mentioned chap
ter. The weight of Investigation and
tradition inclines to an agreement
that the Tigris and the Euphrates of
modern geography are the third and
fourth rivers mentioned in the bibli-
cal description Of the garden. Those
who agree so far differ widely as to
what rivers should now be regarded
as the ancient Pison and Gihon. The
Buddhistic scholars, although they re-
ject our Bible in the greater part, in
cline to the opinion that the Pison is
the sacred Ganges, and that the Gil
hon Is none other than the Nile. AS
to the last, it is altogether probable
that they are correct on that point,
because the biblical account plainly
says that Gihon ''compasseth the
whole land of Ethiopia
Some Investigations confirm that
Eden was spot of comparatively
small area located on the tablelands of
what is now Armenia, from which
rise the Tigris and the Euphrates. A
few scholars of distinction argue that
the Adamic paradise was located in
Africa in the vicinity of the Mountains
OF the Moon. Still another school of
Orientalists locate the celebrated gar
den in the vicinity of the ancient city
Of Babylon.
You will notice, however, that none
Of these theorists has been able to get
the four rivers mentioned in the bibli-
cal account properly located. Neither
have they found place where one
great river separates into four
heads" This being the case, it Is
hardly necessary to add that the ex-
act location of Eden is a mystery that
viii probably never be solved.
