Their Absence Was a Serious Handicap to Adam and Eve. The great drawback to the garden of Eden was the lack of traditions. There was no history to serve ns a guide to legal, moral or social recti tude. There was neither Itardckcr nor Itldpath, neither Macaulay nor Gib bon. neither Homer nor Vergil. Adam and Eve could not go to the library, haul down n book and see how some body once did something or otlipr There were uo daughters of anything to set the standards of social emi nence. There were ad old families. There were no descendants ot any body to talk big, look wise and draw pensions. There were no forefathers who had laid down Inviolable laws, contracted debts, given away fran chises aud established constiiutions for posterity, aye, even unto the third and fourth generation. There were So historic statesmen who had hand rd down orations for Adam and Eve to learn and recite at high school com mencements and church socials. There were no dates for them to learn and remember. There was absolutely no past for them to revere: nothing that hod stood the test of time. If they wanted history or tradition they had to go ahead and make It themselves.-Ellls O. Jonoa In Judge's Library. TABLE KNIVES.

Incident That Changed Them Pointed to Rounded Ends. Table knives are Invariably made with rounded ends. Did It ever occur to you to wonder why they are of this shape Instead of pointed, like any oth er knife blade? rerhaps you may imagine that the ends were rounded ns a protection to life and limb In those turbulent days when men drew their swords or any other available lethal weapou nf the very slightest provocation. Hut this Is uot tho case. The story goes and It Is fairly well substan tlatod that the great Cardinal Riche lieu had a guest to dinner whoso man ners at the tablo were very fnr'from being all that could be desired. Tho climax was reached when the fellow, after finishing the meat course, "began to pick his teeth with his table knife, at that date made with n sharp point. The guest being a man of birth and importance, the cardinal could not openly remonstrate, but next day he gave orders that the point of every knife In the establishment should be rounded off. Heforo tho end of the century his ex ample was universally followed, and the pointed knife at tablo bad disap peared. London Answers. Swimming Ghosts. . Lecturing before the Camera club, Dr. Francis Ward said that in an at tempt to photograph fish In their nat ural surroundings he had constructed a pond with an observation chamber let in at tho side below the surface of tho water. Through tho window of this chamber unseen by tho fish ho could watch aud photograph their movements. lie discovered by this means that tho protection of flsh when In their natural state Is much more thorough than Is generally supposed. Ail silvery fish wore In reality merely mirrors In the water, retlcctlng (he tone and color of their surroundings so as to appear to their fellow fish gray, unsubstantial, swimming ghosts hardly to be distinguished at all. It was only when tho dnco, for example, rose to the surface, causing Its body to reflect light, that the pike at tho bottom of the pond could see and go for Its little vlctlm.-Londcn Graphic.

" " Cape Cod's Treacherous Shoals and the Prey They Grip. Secrets of the sands of Cape Cod are constantly being disclosed by the sea. In the many storm tides that flood the desolate beaches the bulks of stanch ships lost along the coast on the half hundred miles of beaches between Mo nomoy at Chatham and Wood End at Provlucetown are frequently exhumed from tombs of sand. Sometimes a wreck appears that has been buried a century or more, as in the case a few years ago of the bones of the British frigate Somerset, whose timbers of oak were disclosed to view back of Provlucetown, near the life saving station iu Dead Men's Hollow. The Somerset was lost on Peaked Hill bars Nov. ' or 3, 1778. Once u vessel Is gripped by the sands the process of entombing her goes on with great rnpidlty, tho craft appear ing to sink steadily in the yielding beach. All around the doomed vessel tho sand piles up in great drifts, like snow. Every crevice of the hull is quickly Oiled. The sand rises In a solid barrier outside it and flows about it as tho tides flood the shelving beaches. Finally it sweeps over the wreck, and tho process of entombing goes on until the entombed craft Is covered many feet deep. Boston Globe. Needed the Money Badly. A newspaper man of Washington was approached one morning by a friend who wanted to borrow $5. The newspaper man, assuming an expres sion of great sorrow, pulled 20 cents out of bis pocket and remarked: "I'm sorry, old mnn, but you've struck me Just before pay day, and I'm broke." Having made this crafty excuse, he, mentally speaking, pinned a gold medal on himself for having evaded tho prospective borrower. "When Is your pay day?" asked the friend. "Tomorrow afternoon," replied tho newspaper man. "All right," said the friend. "I'll come around then." .: And he did. Popular Magazine. .v tTutlful For Ohoe.

Professional The burden ot Prussia's military state, not spared even to the babes In their cradles, has proved too much for some of tho younger members of the royal families. In "The nouse of Ilohenzollern" Mr. Brayley Hodgetts mentions thnt the two sons whom tho first crown princess of Prussia bore her husband (at the beginning of the eighteenth century) both died in their cradles, one from a nervous shock caused by the salute from heavy guns with which his arrival was heralded and the other from tho burden of a golden crown which was placed on his head after baptism.
