•40,000.

A dispatch received by the Indianapolis Journal early Tuesday morning stated that the Central silicia plant at Fortville, owned by J. L. Mothershead and other Indianapolis men, was burned about 11 o'clock. The loss will amount to $40,000 with only a small insurance. Ten car loads of material ready for ship nent were destroyed. The fire cevght in the charcoal room. Iusurance Protection vs. Insurance Speculation.

The day has passed when men have to be argued with to convince them that they need protection in the way of life insurance. Is the company good, and how much can I conveniently caary are the questions asked. With the Fidelity the security is the best, and it furnishes a larger 'amount of insurances for the money than any tontine speculation or endowment investment in existence. A reformation in insurance is demanded by the people and tbe Fidelity meets the demand. J. M. HUFFORD, Agt.

Squirrel Hunting.

Last year the squirrel law was most openly and defiantly violated and the REPUBLICAN has been informed that hundreds of squirrel hunters are now sneaking through the woods shooting young squirrels. The law protecting the squirrels does not expire until June 1 and it is to be hoped that a few arrests will be made for this flagrant violation. Let farmers report the violation to the Prosecutor with the proper affidavits, and the practice will soon be broken up.

LEGENH0ETHE CROSS,

WOOD DERfVElil^CiM THE TREE OF LIFE IN fHE^ARDEN OF EDEN.

A Story of tjie Death of Adam and the Crucifixion of Christ Which WM Recited In the Middle Ayes—How Seth Got a

Glimpse of Paradise.

When Adam was^ianished from paradise, he lived in penitence, endeavoring to expiate the past by prayer and toil. When he reached a great age and felt death approach, he called Seth to him and said: 'Go, my son, to the terrestrial paradise and ask. the archangel who keeps ihe gate to give me a balsam which, will save me from, death. You will easily find the way, because my footprints scorched the soil. as I left paradise.» Follow my blackened traces and they will conduct yon to the gate whepce I was expelled,"

Seth hastened to paradise. The way was barren, vegetation was scanty and of somber colors. Over all lay the black prints of his father's and mother's feet. Presently the walls surrounding para dise appeared. Around them nature revived, the earth was covered with verdure and dappled with flowers. The air vibrated with beautiful music. Seth was dazzled with the beauty which surrounded him, and he walked on forgetful of his mission. Suddenly there flashed before him a wavering line of fire upright, like a serpent of light continuously quivering. It was the flaming sword in the hand of the cherub who guarded the gate.

As Seth drew nigh he saw that the angel's wings were expanded so as to block the door. He prostrated himself before the cherub, unable to utter a word. But the heavenly being read in his soul, better than a mortal can read a book, the words which were there impressed, and he said: 'The time of pardon is not yet come. •Four thousand years must roll away before the Redeemer shall open the gate to Adam, closed by his disobedience. But as a token of future pardon the wood whereon redemption shall be won shall grow from the tomb of thy father. Behold what he lost by his transgression!"

At tlie.se words the angel swung open the great portal of gold and fire and Seth looked in.

He beheld a fountain, clear as crystal, sparkling like silver dust, playing in the midst of the garden, and gushing forth in four living streams. Before this mystic fountain grew a mighty tree, with a trunk of vast bulk and thickly branched, but destitute of bark and foliage. Around the bole was wreathed a frightful serpent or caterpillar, which had scorched the bark and devoured the leaves. Beneath the tree was a precipice. Seth beheld the roots of the tree in hell. There Cain was striving to grasp the roots and clamber up them into paradise, but they laced themselves around the body and limbs of the fratricide as the threads of a spider's web entangle a fly, and the fibers of the tree penetrated the body of Cain as though they were endowed with life. Horror struck at this awful sight Seth raised his eyes to the summit of the tree. There all was changed. The tree had grown till its branches reached heaven. The boughs were covered with leaves, flowers and fruit. But the fairest fruit was a little babe, a living sun, who seemed to be listening to the songs of seven white doves who circled about his head. A woman, more lovely than the moon, bore the child in her arms.

Then the cherub closed the door and said: "I give thee now three seeds taken from that tree. When Adam is dead, place these three seeds in thy father's mouth and bury him.''

So Seth took the seeds and returned to his father. Adam was glad to hear what his son told him and praised God.

On the third day after the return of Seth he died. Then his son buried.him in the skins of beasts which God had given liim for a covering, and his sepulcher was on Golgotha. In course of time three trees grew from the seeds brought from paradise. One was a cedar, anothera cypress and the third a pine. They grew with marvelous force, thrusting their branches to right and left. It was with one cf these boughs that Moses performed his miracles in Egypt, brought water out of the rock and healed those whom the serpents slew in the desert.

In the time of Solomon this was tho noblest of the trees of Lebanon. It surpassed all in the forests of King Hiram as a monarch surpasses those who crouch at his feet. Now, when the son of David erected his palace he cut down this tree to convert it into the main pillar supporting his roof. But all in vain. The column refused to answer the purpose. It was at one time too long, at another too short. Surprised at this resistance, Solomon lowered the walls of his palace to suit tho beam, but at once it shot up and pierced the roof, like an arrow driven through a piece of canvas or a bird recovering its liberty. Solomon, enraged, cast the tree over Cedron, that all might trample on it as they crossed the brook.

The queen of Sheba found it there and recognizing its virtue had it raised. Solomon then buried it. Some time after the king dug the pool of Bethesda on the spot. This pond at once acquired miraculous properties and healed, the sick who flocked to it. The water owed its virtues to the beam which lay beneath it.

When the time of the crucifixion of Christ drew near, this wood rose to the surface and was brought out of the water. The executioners, when seeking a suitable beam to serve for the cross, found it and of it made the instrument of the death of the Saviour. After the crucifixion it was buried on Calvary, but the mother of Constantine the

the Empress Helena, found it deep in the ground with two others. Christ's was distinguished from those of the thieves by a sick woman being cured by touching it.—Baring Gould's '/Myths of the Middle Ages."
