MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Scholars Question Whsthsr the Apple
Was the forbidden Fruit" In the
Garden Of Eden.

Why and how 1t has happened that
the apple has been spoken Of az the
fruit that was forbidden in the Gar.
den Of Eden is one of the great puz.
zles Of Biblical scholars. The fact In
that in Genesis 3, where the incident
Of the eating Of this fruit Of the 'Tree
Of knowledge Of Good and Evil" IL
mentioned. no name whatever IL given
to the fruit. All that IL said is: "And
when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that It was
pleasant to the eyes, and q 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" (verse 81.
In fact, scholars doubt very serious.
" whether It was the apple ct all.
They suggest that ell evidence points
to 1t having been the ounce. fragrance
Of which was held in the highest e.
TEEN by the Orientals. Another point
in favor Of the ounce is that It 10 the

that the story Of the creation origina,

apple having been the forbidden
Fruit" and towards the ounce - hav.

Wordsworth on Real Est.te.

There is an interesting story Of
Wordsworth, who went to call on Miss
Harriet Martineau at Ambleside, in
the house which she had built and laid
out, writes A. c. Benson in the Cen.
fury Magazine. There was q gathering
Of neighbors present, and Wordsworth
stood for long time at the window
contemplating the beautiful landscape
outside. Then he turned to the party
and said:
"Miss Martineau, I congratulate you
on your beautiful little domain. The
views are wonderful, and It will turn
out to be the wisest thing you ever did
In your life"
He paused for Q moment, and the
guests expected some comment On the
uplifting effects Of communion with
nature, but Wordsworth, With . 1lne
gesture, continued:
"Your property viii certainly be
trebled In value within the next ten
years!"
