SOME PECULIAR MISTAKES

OF popular falacies those relating
to the bible are perhaps the most
widely current. 1t is commonly sta
ted that after the flood Noah's Ark
rested on Mount Ararat But what
the bible says in the book of Gene
sis is that it rested ION the noun
tains of Ararat" Ararat being the
name of district which included the
elevations on which the ark came
to rest. This is not quite so bad as
the man who said he was glad he
had gone to church on certain
Sunday, for he learned that Sodom
and Gomorrah were cities, and he
had always believed they were man
and wife, says the New York Trib-
une.
1t is a~popular belief that the
fruit which Eve and Adam ate in
an apple, but there is no authority
for this, for it is simply called the
fruit of the tree of knowledge of
good and evil: And when the wom-
an saw that the tree was good for
food, and that it was pleasant to the
eyes and a tree to be desired to
make one wise, she took of the fruit
thereof and did eat, and gave also
unto her husband with her, and he
did eat" The fallacy that the fruit
was an apple has been carried so far
that the legend seems that the zap
pie stuck in Adams throat; hence
the name Adams apple" for the
thyroid cartilage of the larynx,
which is more prominent in man $
throat than in a woman's.
SO also it is a fallacy that our
first parents were punished by be
ing excluded from the Garden OF
Eden for eating the forbidden fruit
Several punishments were imposed
on both OF them for disobedience of
the command of the Lord God, but
the reason for their exclusion is as
Behold, the man is become as one
Of US, to know good and evil, and
now, lest he put forth his hand and
take also OF the tree of life and eat
and live forever, therefore the Lord
God sent him forth from the Garden
of Eden to till the ground from
whence he was taken" Another
popular misconception in regard to
the human race, which has grown
up from the book of Genesis, is that
man has one less rib than a wom-
an, based on the account that the
Lord God took a rib from Adam
while he slept, And of the rib,
which the Lord God had taken from
the man, made he woman, and he
brought her unto the man" But ex-
animation OF the skeletons OF both

sexes shows the same number of ribs
In each.
There are several popular quota
|tions almost invariably attributed
to the bible God tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb" is from Sterne' S
Sentimental Journey to Italy "In
the midst of life we are in death Is
in the burial service, and came orr
ginally from Luther. THE merciful
man is merciful to his beast is a
corruption OF "A righteous man re-
gardeth the life of his beast" as
found in Proverbs. Money is THE
root of evil' is twisted from st
Paul's uterances, The love Of money
is the root of all evil" Cleanliness
is next to godliness," instead of be-
ing in the bible, was used by John
Wesley as sermon on dress. Little
children, love one another" is not
found in the bible, but Is attribute ed
by Eusebius to ST. John in his old
age
The name of the rich man in the
parable of the rich man and Lazar-
us is popularity supposed to be Dives
and it is frequently so used. But
the word Dives is not found in the
English version of the Gospel of st
Luke, in which the parable appears
the certain rich man" having nc
name. The word Olives" meaning
rich man." appears in the Vulgate
and came to be used on paintings OF
the scene in medieval times, the Lat.
in inscription frequently being
Olives ct lazarus" but had the or.
der of the words been reversed il
would have been Lazarus ct dives,
the latter word not being capitaliz-
ed. The common quotation, The
tongue is an unruly member" as il
appears in the epistle of James, Is
| The tongue can no man tame; it l.
an unruly evil" The saying "Trutl
is mighty and will prevail" as it ap
pears in the First Book of Esdras
in the Apocrypha, reads Great i.
| truth and mighty above all things
! The phrase in Second Corinthians
Not to think of men above tina
which is written" is usually quoted
To be wise above that which i!
written"

There is not much prophecy in
predicting a revival of business,
since business has already begun to
revive. The slump we have had was
not a cessation, but hiatus-a slip
ping cog-for 1t had no economic
cause. Business men had become ter
rorized by crescendo of bad politics
eliminating in a saturnalia of dem
agogy. Crops are good, they were
good when the slump came on us,
and the prospect now is for good
prices, though possibly the level will
not reach the level of that time.
There Is no difference in fundamen-
tai economic causes. The difference
is in the political mood of the peo-
pie and the politicians. Radicalism
is not so rampant. The political
terrorist is not SO much acclaimed as
he was year ago. That is why men
who build and invest are regaining
their confidence, and that, in turn,
is why business is reviving with a
Iapidity that marks the end of our
lard times.-Dallas News.

The Star is inclined to congratu-
late the Texas public upon the ac-
quiescence of the Post in the PROPOSE
ton to inaugurate a system of good
! roads construction in this state that
may be relied upon to insure the
best possible highways. OF course,
the Star anticipated that the Post
would aid in proposition of this
| sort, because no great daily in Tex
as is of quicker response to practical
suggestion than the Post Still, we
confess to some degree of disap-
| pointment over the concluding state
ment, that It is hardly to be hoped
that the convict question, the good
| roads question and other questions
having direct relation to the states
material welfare will be able to at
tract much attention for some time
| in the future" This is more than
disappointing: it is discouraging,
and we sincerely hope the Post may
be induced to change it's view
What other questions than those of
a practical solution of the convict
| question, and that of good roads,
should be permitted by the press of
| the state to so absorb the public at
tention that these and other ques-
tons intimately related to the gener-
! al welfare of the state cannot be
thrust to the forefront of discussion
| with such appealing force as to take
hour? VIII the esteemed Post ans

Better than a Gold-Mine.

The Southern people themselves
are only touching here and there on
the edge of things, when we consid-
err the vast resources and POSSIBLE
ties OF that section, not vet 10y any
manner Of means realized. The
South, in fact is an undiscovered
country, undiscovered even by
itself Take an illustration or two
as indicating the situation About
four years ago a committee of four
or five distinguished experts, en-
ployed to put relative valuation
on all the ore properties Of several
Birmingham companies, classed one
piece Of property in that city as
practically valueless, and refused to
put any estimate whatever upon it.
That piece of property is now turn
ing out six hundred tons of iron ore
a day, and is said by experts to
contain fOrty-five million tons of
good ore. On the basis of the re-
cent deals in the Lake Superior dis
trlct, that property which four
years ago was reported to have no
value would now be worth forty
five million dollars, and in the not
very distant future Alabama ores
will, doubtless, rank in value on
the same basis as Lake Superior
ores as intrinsically worth a dollar
ton in the ground.-R. H. Ed

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inf1amed con
dltion Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

ftaS Seen Two Souls.

Chicago, H., May DIR. K. NJ.
Reading Of 6444 Lexington avenue,
Chicago, made the startling claim
to have seen the soul departing from
the body ut the instant of death
upon two occasions. DIR. Reading
is not a spiritualist nor a believer
in psychic phenomena. He says at
10 o'clock at night was called to
a poor home to attend a child As
soon as l saw the patient / knew
that death was near. The BABY
was only month old. | watched
the breathing of the child grow
fainter. felt the tremors of its
tiny frame. | listened to the sob
bing young mother, then suddenly
the limbs stiffened, it shuddered
and died
That instant a nebulous shape
rose from the body. 1t was of the
same form as the child 1t hover
eel for an instant, gray, vaporish in
color, and then. seemingly with a
violet light, it passed upward di-
agonally and disappeared.
The second time ! was attend
ing a blacksmith. IS years old, who
lived on the South Side. The priest
was saying prayers for the repose Of
the man ; soul when he died
At that instant a haze gathered
over the death bed. 1t was indis-
tinct. Then it assembled and took
form. 1t was distinctly the form Of
the dead man. 1t. too, lowered
uncertainty for a moment and then
passed upward, disappearing like
smoke.
