LEcTURING ADAM And EVE
Somewhat Humorous Painting In Ger
man Church, Work Of Artist OF
the Middle Ages.

In the Church OF Saint Sebaldus at
Nuremberg there is a delightful mural
painting which makes one merry even
to recall II, The subject is the Garden
of Eden. Adam and Eve are being
lectured by an elderly man In flowing
robes with long white beard. His
beard alone would more than supply
Adam and Eve with the covering they
lack
In as easy attitude. with neither
haste nor anxiety, he is pointing out
to them the error of their ways. He
is as detached in manner as though he
were a professor lecturing at Leipsic
on the fourth dimension of space.
Adam is somewhat detected and re-
clines upon the ground Eve, I'M
abashed, with nothing on but the ap-
pie she is munching, is evidently in a
reckless mood She looks like q child
Of fifteen, with her hair down her
back; the defiance of her attitude is
that of naughty little girl.
The world-old prablem is under dis
cussion. but with an air of good hui
NOR and cheerfulness on the part of
the lecturer, as though there were still
time in the world, as though hurry
were an undiscovered human attrin-
ute as though possibly the world
would stih go on even if the problem
were left unsolved, and this first leafy
parliament adjourned sine die.-New

dition Of the treasury and the need for

The statement shows that at the pres
ent rate os income and expenditures

which expires Dec. 81, and the present

IN SHADY NO0KS OF LONDON
Among Them Is the Herb Garden In
Chelsea That Was Originated
In the Year 1921.

There are sundry methods OF defy
ing the heat wave that has swept over
London, says a recent Issue OF the
London Chronicle.
Half a minute from the roar of
Fleet street you can rest beneath the
friendly shade OF the trees OF Cliford's
Inn, OF you can wander leisureiy
through the cloisters Of the Temple,
bordering over Goldsmith and Lamb
and Dickens. But there Is an even
more romantic spot than any old-world
Inn that adioins the street Of adven-
ture-the herb garden in the heart OF
old Chelsea.
Herb gardens were common enough
at one time in London, but Chelsea is
the only parish that still has one in
being, and there is rest and refresh
ment in visit to this haunt of peace
and loneliness which at the present
day produces some of the drugs that
figure in the pharmacopoeia.
Its history is interesting. The ply
sic-garden was originated by Sir Hans
sloane and handed over by him to
the Apothecaries' company in 1921.
The garden was presented to the COM
pany on condition that lit should at
all times be con tinued as physic gar
den, for the manifestation of the pow
er, the wisdom, and goodness of God
in creation; and that the apprentices
might learn to distinguish good and
useful plants from hurtful ones"
The Apothecaries garden is the old
est botanic garden in London. 1t is
included in the many interesting spots
visited by rambling parties arranged
by the Selborne society, an organiza-
ton which reveals the beauties and
| curiosities OF London to the Londoner.

The ALienlst.

The alienist is the most recent pro-
duct of diversified psychology. Dur
ing the past few years he has investl-
gated every degree of mental abnor-
mallty, from ineipient paranoia TO auc-
ton bridge. He is a very present help
in time of trial, being more valuable
than mediocre prosecutor or an ig-
norant jury He is able to establish
any degree of sanity for any human
being with money and with or with
out brains. As soon as legislators ap-
preciate the necessity Of making emo
tional incongruIhes a basis for di.

u. S. SENATORS.

a senator Is very great man WIN mas
been able to get a state legislature by
the neck and choke a $500 year call
from his country out of it.
Senators are very keen of hearing
and sometimes can detect their coun-
try's call when it isn't loud enough to
be heard beyond very small room in
hotel But after they have gone to
Washington to toll in the capitol, they
often get surprisingly deaf. You can
call to senator for three years and
make 80 much noise that the Statue of
Columbia on top Of the capitol will keep
/ her hands on her ears for months at a
time, but your senator will only report
to the President that he has heard no
evidence of disaffection in his state.
Senatorial work is terribly hard on the
ears
Senators are elected by legislatures
and serve six years unless round out
sooner. There are only two senator's
from each state, but this has always
been considered great plenty. 1t
takes some legislatures so long to elect
two senator's every six years that they
have had no time left in which to con
slider the child labor question and the
uniform divorce law.
A senator is supposed to act as a
regulator for the house of representa-
tiyes. Each senator has about four
and one-half representatives to regu-
late and the job is evidently very Sc
we're one, for only fifteen of the pres
ent senator's have been able to hold it
for more than ten years.
When a senator goes to Washington
he becomes a very important parsonage
and lives in the lap Of luxury. The
government buys his Office furniture
and letter paper and soap and perfum-
cry and toothbrushes and bath towels
and hair restorer, and when ne leaves
the capitol at noon after hard day 8
work, he finds some captain Of indus
rs waiting to take him down town in
gasoline chariot and buy him cigar
with a red, white and blue belt around
| il. All this so comfortable that most
senators are very much averse to
change. They want to remain just as
they are forever, but unfortunately the
hardness of hearing mentioned above
compels most of them to retire from
Office by request after few years
Some states select their senators by
primary vote and some leave the job
to the corporations. American corpora
tons have now grown so large that a
number of them have to have individual
senators, though it is impossible for
several smaller corporations to club to-
gether and get a senator which they
can use turn about Some corporations
are so tight with their senator's that
they will not allow the people to use
them at all.
The senate is a solemn deiberatve
body and is beautiful to watch, SEN
ators are very courteous to each other
except TO those senator's who talk their
way into the body Talk is cheap and
there is nothing cheap about the SEN
ate. Take it all around the job is not
whatitonco was. A plug hat and a pock-
ct full of checks do not always cinch
the election any more. A candidate
has to show reasons why he should get
in and then has TO turn right around
and show reasons why no shouldn't get
out Between these two a senator
| sometimes only has a chance to feel
proud and lofty for about one week

u. S. GOVERNMENT
Will Be Represented at Good Roads
Convention in Denver.

The construction OF good roads, and
the proper maintenance OF these same
roads after they have been built, will
be the principal subjects of discus
sion at the Fifth Annual Convention
of the Colorado Good Roads Asso-
citation TO be held in Denver. January
20 and 81. At the same time neces-
sary changes in the present highway
laws will be considered.
Definite announcement has also
been made by the railroads OF the
state that reduced rates on account
OF the good roads convention will be
made, and that tickets from all points
to Denver will be on sale January II.
Is and 20. with final return limits OF
the 10Th. These dates of sale will also
accommodate those desiring to attend
the annual meeting OF the County
Commissioners Association to be
held on January Is and 10.
The attendance of the good roads
convention this year will be repre-
sentative OF every section OF the state.
This is due in great measure to the
result of the election at which funds,
available in 1915. were voted by re
cord majority and every part OF the
state is now eager to see that their
construction of better roads.
1t is the purpose of the State High
way Commission to perfect plans SO
Il t when the fund for road building
becomes available in 1910 active worI,
may be pushed which will mean the
opfning of every section. 1t is also
expected that at this convention dele
cations from the different counties of
the state will be on hand to push
claims for their respective section to
better roads.
The United States government will
be represented at the convention. The
opening address will be delivered by
Governor Carlson. what at that time
will probably outline his views on the
good roads question. He is an en-
thusiastic good-road worker and will,
it is known, do all in his power to
push the construction OF better high
ways in all sections OF the state dur
ing his term OF office.
