Nj Authority Fer Saying It Was an
Apple That Eve Ata.
It Has B««n Known by at Loaot Twsn-
"What a vast amount of trouble the
nuuiuii race might have avoided If Eve
iiudu't eaten that apple." remarked tbe
grouchy Individual wbeu sometblug
especially displeased him.
•'¡tow do you kuow it was an ap­
ple?" asked tbe accurate man.
"Why. tbe Bible says so. doesn't It?”
"No. It bas come to be a popular
liellef that the fruit which was eaten
by our first pareuts in tbe garden
'eastward lu Eden’ was an apple, but
there is no authority for tbls.
"It is called simply tbe fruit of tbe
tree of knowledge of good and evil.
'And wben the woman saw that tbe
tree was good for food aud that it was
pieasaut to tbe eyes and a tree to be
desired to make oue wise sbe took of
tbe fruit thereof aud did eat and gave
also to ber busbaDd with ber. and be
did eat.' Wbat is there bere about an
apple?
"A great many popular quotation,
ar* attributed to tbe Bible wben In
fact they bad other sources.
*’ ‘Clod tempers tbe wind to the shorn
lamb' is not from tbe Scriptures, but
from 'A Sentimental Journey to Italy,’
by Sterne.
'•'Ju the midst of life we are in
death.' which Is found In tbe burial
service, can be traced to Luther.
"From St. Paul's utterance. 'The love
of tnouey Is tbe root of nil evil.' we
have twisted tbe sayiug. 'Money is tbe
root of evil.' 'Cleanliness is next to
godliness' was uttered by John Wes­
ley In n sermon <m dress. ‘Tbe merci­
ful umn is merciful to bla beast' is a
popular rendering of tbe proverb. 'A
righteous man regardetb tbe life of bls
beast.* 'The tongue Is au Unruly mem­
ber' apiiears In tbe epistle of James as
‘The tongue can uo man tame; it Is
an unruly evil.'

Diff»r»nt Names.
In the course of the past 400 years
tbe Hudson has been known by at
i least twenty different names, and even
today-in New York, at atty rate-it Is
, Indifferently referted to both as tbe
Hudson and tbe North river.
While Henry Hudson Is universally
acclaimed as the discoverer of the no
ble river wblcb bears bis name, it I*
well known that nearly a century be­
fore Hudson's smxessful exptoration
John da Verrszano. a Florentine, en-
tered tbe mouth of the Hudson and re-
' ported that he had passed up the riser
about a league In a boat, not ventnrlng
to sail bls vessel, the Dmipbine. up a
river with which he was unfamiliar
A sudden s«]iiall impelled him Io re
turn to bls ship. Verrazano called the
Hudson "the river of steep hills." Thia
was Io 1524. Some year» later Verra
zano's brother made a map of the re­
gion. an«l he Darned the mouth of tbe
Hudson "San Gerroano.”
In 1525 a Spaniard nomed Gomez
who came to America <>D an exploring
trip, made a chart upon which he de«-
lgnaled the Hudson as "San Antonio.''
When some eighty year» later Henry
Hudson lu his efforts to reach t-be Has»
Indian possesions of the Dub'S ®n*t
India company by a northwester»
route accidentally raa Into th» Hnfrw
he promptly dublied ft the “Manbatle* '
from the name of tbe Indians who
dwelt at Its mouth.
Hudson sailed slowly up th» rlvee ft*
far as Albany, and his experience*
with the Indians and his olmervaHona
of the surrounding country were so
gratifying that he returned home with
glowing reports of tbe new found
country.
Tbe Dutch at once realized that great
commercial advantage might be gained
In the new territory, nnd various com­
panies were organized to colonize and
exploit It.
In 1616 a charier was cranfe«! to the
New Netherlands company, and th»
river wan there refernsl to an "De IH-
riere van dee Vovst Mauritius" In hoa
«ir of Trlnce Maurice of Orange.
In various Other charters granted nt
this time nnd public documents In
which the river was mentioned It was
spoken of ns lhe "Groote Riviere.” the
•'Noordt river.” the "River of the Man­
hattan»" nnd the "Rio do Montague.”
In addition to those names, the In­
dians luid a number of others for it.
among Which may be mentioned "Sn-
natatea." "Sliawnatnwty." "Caliohata-
tea" and “Cohougorontns.”
As tote ns 1754 the river was referred
to by a French writer as the "River
Orange.”
When the English took possession of
New Netherlands they persistently
calhHl tbe river "Hudson's river." nnd
despite the many other names by
which ft was known that name flnnllv
'•»tuck." although many of the early
colonists spoke of It as the North river
In contradistinction to the Delaware
river, which was commonly known ns
the South river.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Story of Stevenson.
