ADAM AND EVE.

Three Mystic Gifts.

Three Mystic Gifts.
Many are the attempts to identify
the forbidden fruit. Some say it was
the fig, others the grape, others, again,
the pomegranate, but the most CARA
bian Nightish" description paints it as
an ear Of wheat which looked like a
ruby and was as big as an ostrich egg
and grew on a tree whose trunk was
like gold, its branches like silver and
its leaves emerald.
Our first parents were expelled about
3 o'clock of the afternoon of Friday,
the 10th of May, having resided in
Eden seven years, two months, two
weeks and three days. Adam was
banished to Ceylon and Eve to Mecca,
and they remained apart for 200 years
Adam, according to some accounts,
spent half his time weeping, with his
face to the earth. Others less chart
table aver that his solitude was cheer
ed by Lilith, who resumed her former
relations with him.
When he repented and rejoined Eve,
he begged that something might be
given him from the happy garden Of
innocence which he had forfeited, and,
10, in answer to his prayer three
mighty archangels were sent to him,
Michael bringing gold, Gabriel frank
incense and Raphael myrrh-mystic
gifts in after years associated with the
offering of the magi, whom early
Christian tradition identified with
Enoch, Melchisedek and Elias.

II ls the Weight Cupboard From the
Hand That Tells.
Much pleasure will be found in buy
ing rods and tackle. If inexperienced,
any old angler will rather enjoy help
ing you out, or you can go to a first
class shop. ask for salesman who is
an angler and tell him where you pro-
pose to fish. If economy is an object to
you, very fair working tools can be
had for little money. 1t Is surprising
to handle some Of the rods that are
priced at S. to $40. do not consider
weight in the scales Of great impor-
lance, as like good sized, comfort
able handle. 1t is the weight cupboard
from the handle that tells. One of the
lightest rods ever saw weighed eight
ounces on the scales. 1t had big, fat
wooden handle and substantial fittings,
but the rod proper was very light. My
individual preference is for a rod Of
ten feet, but lots of men prefer some
thing shorter. have seen good work
done with an eight foot rod, but there
Is a great difference in the power Of
rods Of the same length. A tall, strong
man can handle a rod Of great power
and with suitable line bring out all
there is in 1t. He may be able to do
this all day long without great fatigue,
while weaker person would be heav-
lily handicapped and tired to death

MIsLED BY PARROTS.
How Columbus Missed the Honor Of
Discovering This Continent.

A flight of birds, coupled with SAIL
or's superstition, robbed Columbus Of
the honor of discovering the continent
When Columbus sailed westward over
the unknown Atlantic, he expected to
reach Zipangu Dapan). After several
days sail from Gomera, one of the
Canary islands, he became uneasy at
not discovering Zipangu, which, ac-
cording to his reckonings, should have
been PIG nautical miles more to the
east.
After long discussion he yielded to
the opinion of Martin Alonzo Pinzon,
the commander of the Pinta, and steer
ed to the southwest. Pinzon was guild
ed in his opinion solely by flight of
parrots which took wing in that direc-
ton. 1t was good luck to follow in
the wake of a flock of birds when en-
gagged upon voyage of discovery, ac-
cording to widespread superstition
among Spanish seamen of that day.
If Columbus had kept to his course,
he would have entered the gulf stream,
have reached Florida and then proba-
bly, have been carried to Cape Hat
teras and Virginia.

There was an ancient law in Massa-

made long enough to hide their shoe
buckles. In 1860 an act of the general
court prohibited short sleeves and re-

to cover the arms to the wrists and
gowns to the shoe buckles; "immod-

"PLUG" TOBACCO.
An Old Farmers Story of How the
Name Originated.

An Old Farmers Story of How the
Name Originated.
In the jury room at the courthouse a
few days ago an old time farmer said
as he took chew of tobacco:
"All the difference in the world in
tobacco. I've tried twenty different
kinds, and none is as good as that we
used to make ourselves down on the
farm. We would take maple log
while twas green and bore a dozen
holes in it with a two inch auger.
They were our molds. We selected our
choicest tobacco and soaked it for
week or more in wild honey. Then
we'd take the leaf to the log, get a
good hickory tamping stick and go to
work.
"a little ball of the honey soaked to-
bacco would be put in the auger hole
and tamped in with the stick and a
hammer. We'd pound it in solid. Ball
after ball would be rammed in and
pounded until the whole became sol
i'd plug. When the hole was nearly
full, we would pound in the plug, and
then the log would be put away to sea-
son. AS the wood dried the moisture
would be drawn from the tobacco.
And when it was split the sweetest
tobacco ever made was taken from it.
We called it plug tobacco, and that's
where the name originated. kansas

asked, would it be advisable to

1t was the opinion of the men

r. x. Rawlings said he had

through working his corn, with
good results.
Joseph Scarborough gave his
experience in sowing a patch of

the corn scoring from eighty-fve
