, LOCATION OF EDEN MANY REGIONS ASSOCIATED WITH LOST PARADISE. Finding of Spot Has Always Been One of the Fascinating Pursuits of Ages, But Quest Seems Hopeless. Every onco In awhile an Ingenious theorist arises with the announce ment that the Garden of Eden has at last been located. The world Is con cerned more for the restitution to the race of a large measure of the Inno cence and happiness that Is associated with the lost paradise than It Is with the location of the place which is woven Into the majestic lines of Milton In hlB pictures of the crea tion and the tragedy of the garden. Nevertheless, the strength of human Interest in the facts of human origin makes thq location of the Garden of Eden one of the. fascinating pursuits of the ages. As-there Is no known spot upon the face of the earth that corresponds with the features attrib uted to the location of Eden, and as, even admitting the validity of the Bishop Ussher chronology, there has elapsed sufficient time for the utter transformation of the physical as pects of Eden as described in Genesis, the hunt for the actual Eden seems hopeless. The cradle of the race undoubtedly lies somewhere in the east, and, ac cepting the Indo-European theory of race identity of the Caucasian races, It would seem as though the approx imate, birthplace of thlB branch of the human family could be placed. But ethnologists are themselves astound ed as they endeavor to track the -path of humanity and to trace the breakup of the race into its many branches, through the evidence of language and other enduring records. They are nonplused and cannot arrive at a common agreement, excepting that, after research has reached te tfie farthest limit, the borderland of civ ilization appears to be brought littlo nearer. Nevertheless, there is no tradition among the nations so entrancing as hat of Eden. Hardly a nation of the ancient east but that retains the story among its folklore. But the tradition has' traveled westward and has spread over the whole world. Even the Sandwich islanders, the people of the Pamirs, and it is even said the Eski mos, have traditions of Eden not dls slmi'ar from., the story of Genesis. The records of the Aztecs disclose the 8tory of the serpent delineated unmis takably In the picture language of that ancient people. But while the valley of Mexico has the credit of be ing one of the spots identified with the location of Eden, on the other hand the north pole is a candidate for the honor, it being claimed that Eden was wiped out by the advance of the Ice sheet during the glacial ages South and Central America, M7co, the Sahara desert, the Jun;les of the dark continent almost every tropical country has Its de fenders In this respect. The point of these claims usually rests upon evidence of the existence of a race earlier than any of which history has knowledge. But as these ancient stocks are scattered through out the globe, this appears to prove nothing. But tradition, world-wide, enshrines the Garden of Eden among the beliefs of widely dissimilar peo ples, and this fact itself indicates the early identity of the races of man kind. The Mexican tradition, relating as it does to this continent, has es pecial interest. This assumes there was a race pf human beings on this continent many thousands of years ago, and this is to some extent con firmed by discoveries along the Pa cific coast of South America. Traces of a race and a civilization have been discovered there, which go far back of recorded time, King Came to Rescue. At the time of the marriage of the crown prince of Sweden, Miss Emma Thursby, the American singer, and Mme. Christine Nillson were appear ing on alternate nights at the Royal theater at Stockholm. Mme. NUlson would sing in opera one night and Miss Thursby in concert the next, Both ladies were invited to the court ball given by King Oskar in honor of the crown prince and his bride, and both wished to attend. But neither had' a court train, and they were at their wits' ends to know what to do. Every dressmaker in Stockholm was busy night and day; it was too late to order their trains from Paris. Mme. Nillson finally solved the difficulty. "I will write to the king about it," she sstd. And she did. "Your most gracious majesty," she wrote in her letter, "Miss Thursby and I have no flaps to wear to .the court ball. What shall wo do?" "Come without them. Oskar," was the answer they got back tho same day. They went to the ball and had a memorable time. Dycinjr i an 'eitny, as wishing when PUTNAM FADELESS DYES nrc used. Abk your, druggist.

The following is taken from a hand bill issued by a provincial bootmaker: "The shoemaker Is a man of great learning. He is a doctor as well as a surgeon, for he not only heels but performs many cutting operations. He Is a fishmonger, for he sells soles and heels. He is a schoolmaster, for he gives good understanding. He is -a good speaker, for he always works the thread of his argument,- waxes warm to his subject, and holds all to the last." ITCHING RASH 18 YEARS. Girl's Rash Spread and Grew Worse Under Specialist's Care Perfect Cure by Cuticura Remedies. "When my daughter was a baby sho had a breaking out behind the ears. The doctor said that she would out grow it, and it did get somewhat bet ter until sho was about fifteen years old, and after that she could get noth ing that w5uld drive it away. She was always applying something in the way of salves. It troubled her behind the knees, opposite the elbows, back of the neck and ears, under the chin, and then it got on tho face. That was about three years ago. She took treat ment with a specialist and seemed to get worse all the time. We were then advised to try the Cuticura Remedies, and now I don't see any breaking out. M.

That the effect of a choice and ap propriate phrase is sometimes lost and ofttlmes woefully misinterpreted Is well Illustrated In an Incident con nected with tho death of a Virginia lawyer. During the man's illness the wires were disconnected which attached the bell to the old-fashioned pull knob on the front door. A messenger boy came to the house one morning and began pulling at the bell. There was no response. He continued to Jerk the ancient knob vigorously. A white-haired gentleman finally appeared, who raised his hand warnlngly and said: "My boy, the silver cord has been severed." "Is that so?" exploded the boy. "From the way it acted I thought the whole darn thing wag busted." N. Y. Times.
