Beauty Of the Country and the I'm.
preston 1t Leaves.
The beauty of the country is the flrst
and the most lasting impression. To
catch glmpses at every turn in the
valleys Of cloudy peaks, or when on
the mountain side to see through the
limpid air valley after valley between
the protecting hills, to breathe this
pure air, to know that summer la al
most perpetual-he> Is only half a man
who does not for a moment forget the
needs Of civlliza ton In the tntoxicat ton
Of primitive nature. The loneliness Of
Venezuela is something different from
and south. 1t is more tropical, and the
mountains do not rise to the height in
which the senses are stilled by gran
deur, nor is there found so near the
equator that ruggedness or gloom OF
solemnity which is one feature Of the
Rockies. 1t is beauty Of more human
type, which can be enjoyed most when
we know that man has his abode there.
The Andes. the Alps or the Rockiea
are bold and austere. They need no
life. Life is not meant for them. But
such contrasts and changes as are con-
stantly presented to the eye in these
softened landscapes are more exquisite
when man Is pottering about on the
surface trying to imagine that he Is Of
some real Importance on the earth

The Fiendlike Lilith Mas q Complete
Matrimonial Failure.
Whether Lilith was one Of the fe-
male creations of chapter l or a demon
or something between the two, she
was, considered matrimonially, a COM
piete failure. She was expelled after
living with Adam for 100 years and
subsequently became the wife of Sa-
tan, by whom she was the mother Of
the Jinns, SO familiar in Persian fairy
lore. .'. 49,
The emphatic remark of Adam when
he first saw Eve, This Is now bone of
my bones and flesh Of my flesh"
makes, 1t Is suggested, comparison
between Eve and the beautiful but
iendlike Lilith not complimentary to
the latter, while the reference on the
birth of Seth to him as Adams son
''in his own likeness, after his image"
conveys a painful hint Of the uncanny
offspring born to Adam and Lilith.

There Is nothing unfair in this if it is reasonable and it's application is in the control Of proper experience, says the Railway Journal. Tt will not prevent men of wealth investing in roads that can pay a fair inter- est on the money though it will pre- vent much manipulation and water ing of stocks. The railways can well afford to approve and support bill of the sort suggested. We have felt that this sort of regulation would do away with much rate legislation"
