THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Article on -This Subject by General
Gordon in i88x
Tlx British Soldier's Belief Waa Tha
Man's Original Abode Was
Probably oa the Inland
of Praslin.
There has been almost. If not qufte,
s much diversity of opinion as to the
site of the Garden of Eden as there
has been in regard to the birthday of
the world. As to the latter, April 17.
July 18 and October 86 seem to be the
dates resting upon the best authorities,
with a preference, perhaps, for April
as at least the birth month all this,
of course, upon the Scriptural account
of the creation. Science places that
event bo far in the. past that no con
jecture even has been hazarded im to
when it occurred.
In regard to the si to of tlje Garden
of Eden, that is a matter about which
the modern scientists do not dispute.
It is only those who hold to the lliblica)
account of the creation of man who
have seriously attempted to locate the
site of the Paradise in which he wut
placed. Among these there has been
a wide diversity of opinion, some plac
iag it near the upper sources of the
Tigris and Euphrates; some, like Mil
ton in "Paradise Lost," identifying Cey
lon as the lost Paradise of man; others
livating it in America, and, others still,
in Abyssinia.
New interest is added to this question
by an article in the Strand Mngnzinc
entitled: "The Site of the Garden of
Eden," by Gen. Gordon. A note by the
editor states that the article was writ
ten by Gen. Gordon in 1882 and now
sees the light for the first time. The
editor further suggests that Gen. Gor
don was probably the most capable per
son in the world to deal with this fas
cinating subject, as he combined a deep
religious feeling and extensive research
on all matters pertaining to Itiblicnl
and oriental history.
Gen. Gordon gives his reasons in this
hrief article for believing that the
Garden of Eden Is at or near the Sey
chelles, lie says: "I could even put
it at Praslin, a small Isle SO miles north
of Mahe." The Seychelles are a group
of islands in the Indian ocean COO miles
northeast of Madagascar, Mahe, the
larger, being only 17 miles long by 7
broad, while Praslin is the next in size.
Gen. Gordon says: "Eden is a district,
the garden is a spot chosen in that dis
trict, the trees were actual trees. Im
bued for a time with spiritual quali
ties." He goes further. He not only gives
reasons for believing the Garden of
Eden was located on Praslin, but he
also attempts, fancifully enough to
most readers, perhaps, to distinguish
the tree of knowledge and the tree of
life. Of these he says:
"Well, I thought there were two trees
actual trees which had been sacramental,
and had ceased to bo so; and In Praslin
.near Seychelles, and only there In the
whole world, Is a magnificent tree, curious
beyond description, called the prince of the
veg-etable kingdom; It Is unique In 1U
species and on earth. The Laodicean
Seychellarlum, or Coco dl Mir. This, I be
lieve, was the tree of knowledge. I then
thought If the one tree Is to be found so li
the other, and this I think Is the Artocsrpus
Indus, or bread fruit; it Is a humble tree,
of no great distinction, yet to an observer
It li as unique in Its kind and among trees
sa the other. This last tree Is only fouad
In the Indian ocean. It la a life-sustaining
tree, and, like the other. It Is full of Scrip
tural types,"
Curiously enough, Gen. Gordon seems
to have started on his search for these
two trees first, and having found them
in Praslin, he next proceeds to show
how this island in its location corre
sponds to tho Eden described in Gene
sis. In doing this he adopts the transla
tion of Genesis, 2-10, that the four riv
ers flowed into Eden instead of outof it.
Thence he takes the Euphrates and
the Tigris, which meet and flow into
the Persian gulf, and from the two
other rivers he takes Pison to be the
Nile and Gihon oa the brook on the
southern side of Jerusalem, which
nieets the Eedron and flows into tho
Dod sea.
Of course, there art) difficulties about
itii. Gordon's supposition, difficulties
not only in the meaning of the verse
to which he gives a different signifi
cance to the usual one, but geographi
cal difficulties, especially aa regards the
brook Gihon, which certainly is an in
significant stream to be mentioned with
the Nile, Tigris and Euphrates. But
nil the attempts to locate the lost Para
dise of the human race have their dlf
licultles, and Gen. Gordon's theory is
at least ingenious and probably aa nea
the truth as any. The article is more
valuable as showing the deeply reli
gious character of Gen. Gordon's mind
than as a contribution to a subject con
cerning which it ia impossible to do
more than supply an ingenious conjec
ture. Chicago Tribune.
An Embrroalo Scheme.
"I have an idea," said the dentist's
patient, as he put on his coat after mak
ing an appointment for two hours of
anguish on the following Tuesday;
"I have a plan for filling teeth. It needs
a little work in the arrangement of do
tails, but I think it Is a great scheme."
"What is It?" asked the dentist.
"When teeth are to be filled, they
should first be extracted; the filling
could then be done without pain to the
patient, and it would only be necessary
to find some way to replace the teeth."

NORTH CAKCLIIIA DEAR!
Vile Mischievous Animal Arc u I'esl
la Three entitles of
the Irate,
I notice In your Issue of January u
that Curator ltriinlev. of the state mu
seum at Raleigh, advertises for beam
for specimens, therefore 1 write
to say that If lie will send Into

ties, which OOCUpy the peninsula

In North Carolina, he can get all the
bears he cares to give room to. If any
one has lost any lienrs that is the loca
tion to find them.
This Intersound region is divided into
alternating areas of swamp, Cornfield
and prairie, or savanna, with here and
there a hike or an apple orchard thrown
in, and the bears trade from one to the
other, according to the season of the
year, or as they have opportunity,
These savannas are used almost uni
versally us rattle ranges, and there have
' been at times large Itock companies
which grazed mnny hundreds of herds.
In the aarly springtime, before vege
tation is sprouted, the bears feed on the
young Junipers (white cedar), by strip
i ping off the bark and sucking the sup.
Later on they cat young ferns and all
kinds of new growth and inserts, and
afterward worthberrles, ooonberriea
! and the like. Then they climb the
black gums for fruit, taking the green
, corn next, and then the nuts and
acorns, and from fall to spring destroy
cattle and hogs. In the green corn sea
son it is the easiest thing in the world
for them to come out of the marginal
I swamps by the fields and regale them
selves on the farmers' roasting ears,
and when eattle are running in the win
I ter nnd licrrk'8 nnd mast arc done
I (gone?), and the cowpens and corn nre
I stocked or housed, they naturally take

whieh happen periodically, the havoc
among the herds has been so great that
1 Stringent measures have been employed
I to exterminate the ursine depredators.
I Spring guns, traps, deadfalls, poison,
side-hunts und drives have lieen put Into
j active use, ami scores of carcasses have
i been gathered in. Still the slaughter
continued among the cattle, and the
linnabcr bears continued to get in their
1 work until their numbers were deci
mated. (Slnnnben ore entile bears,
nnd always carry a white spot on the
breast. Hog bears nre smuller and
different.) At last the cuttle were
afraid to go into the slashes at all, and
kept entirely to the savannas. The
bears would climb the Junipers, guum
and cypresses whore the trails passed,
and, lying along the extended limb,
drop like panthers upon the luckless
animals passing beneath, sucking the
blood from their necks and clinging to
them as they ran. In the end the "crit
ter" would succumb from fright, bleed
ing or exhaustion, and die miserably.

CARE OF MATTRESSES.
ed Constant Attention to Keep
Them Odorless und la
lio.id Order.
The feather bed is, of course, u thing
of the past. It Is probably not lament
ed in many quarters, as it is certainly
unhealthy, dllllcult to care for, nnd not
pleasant to sleep on. Mnttresses, blank
ets, pillows and other articles of bed
ding, however, require much care to
keep them odorless und clean.
The inain enemies to mattresses are
I dust, damp nnd moth, and frequent
brushing must lie given them, for lu an
Incredibly short tlmo they will harbor
dust all along the edges and where the
buttou Is fixed. A loose cotton cover
over the mattress, mnde to button neat
ly at one end, always goes a long way
toward keeping It clean. This can be
washed and changed as often ns need
be without much trouble or expense,
It Is very important to nlr all the bed
ding throughout. Every article should
be daily taken off and laid separately
over a chair, and a strong current of
air should be allowed to circulate
through the room before the clothes
are replaced. The mattress should lie
turned dully from end to end, as this
insures it being worn more evenly, nnd
not sinking in the middle.
Blankets are a difficulty to many peo
ple, mostly because they cannot make
up their minds as to how often they
should be washed, or how treated, in
many houses they are only washed onco
year, but somehow this does seem
rather too rare a proceeding. On the
other hand, it Ih really not necessary to
have them washed more than twice n
year; but they must have proper care
in the Interval in the shape of airing,
shaking, eta, A washing machine is
very good for the purpose, especially
aa they should never be rubbed by the
hand. The water should be only luke
warm, and a little soap well lathered
in the water in all that will be required.
Wring the blnnkets very dry through a
wringer, shake them out, and wash
again in the same way, wringing each
time, until they arc quite clean. Do
not rinse them, but pull them into
shape, and hang them out in tho sun,
