ADAM AND EVE.
The Forbidden Fruit, the Fall and the
Three Mystic Gifts.

Three Mystic Gifts.
Many are the attempts to identify
the forbidden fruit. Some say it was
the pomegranate, but the most Ara
bian Nightish" description paints 1t 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, It's 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 III
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,
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.

workmen on the canal zone are denied at
the Office of the canal commission
it is admitted that sgitators are constant
ly turning up among the men there and
endesyOring tOuniOnize them and enforce

stand which the President has taken in
the matter this has thus far been pre-
vented, but at the same time the labor
situation is not entirely satisfactory TO
those who have to deal with canal mat
terra.
