eminent which shall In few
months conduct elections for presi.
dent, vice president and members OF
congress. No names have been
agreed upon between the Mexican or
American delegates for the new pro.

brief recess In the meantime. ~ .

Woman and Her Hat.

A woman cannot stick hat on her
head as you stick stamp on letter.
There is an ingenious machine that
sticks stamps on letters at the rate
of several thousand an hour. But no.
body has invented a machine for stick
ing hats on the heads of women. A
man can buy a hat in five minutes,
but no woman would dream Of buying
hat in less than an hour. Often q
woman will acquire splitting head

to suit her out OF a hundred, and not
seldom she carries away the head

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

why and how 1t has happened that
the apple has been spoken of as the
fruit that was forbidden in the Gar
den OF Eden is one of the great puz-
zles of Biblical scholars. The fact is
that in Genesis 3, where the incident
of the eating of this fruit OF the Tree
of Knowledge of Good and Evil is
mentioned. no name whatever is given
to the fruit All that is said is: And
when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that 1t was
pleasant to the eyes. and 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
ly whether 1t was the apple at all.
They suggest that all evidence points
to 1t having been the ounce, fragrance

But every man jack OF them knew
