A Natural aa Life
New York has been having an ex-
hibition ot nearly 200 dolls collected
from all nations and representing cen-
turies ot doll development Dolls are
in existence which date back to 4000
B C 'They were found In Kgyptlan
graves and are Blmply miniature mum-
mies But the oldest dolls of Mrs
Starr’s unique collection are from
Peking and came from the palace of
the dowager empress Mrs Starr has
loU? representing Dutch fishwives
women from Lapland equipped with
snowshoes Indian soothsayers Mex-
ican runners French lacemakers and
New Englahd country girls of a cen-
tury ago One Egyptian doll was made
entirely of mud except its hair An
other was constructed of a bamboo
stick dressed In a single garment and
with a mass of long black hair The
pith of a tree was carved into a charm-
ing doll and California seaweed was
the material of another A perplexed
lady came to the teacher of her grand-
children says Youth’s Companion with
a weary plaint as to the indifference of
the two little girls to the sound knowl-
edge which interested their three
others "The boys love butterflies
and stones and shells and plants and
"Will read every book I give them on
natural science They are eager to
know about everything from the stars
In the sky to the weeds by the road-
side But Mary and Nelly — what de
you suppose is their one enthusiasm?”
she asked dejectedly "Dolls I guess”
said the wise teacher “and a healthy
passion it is too We won’t interfere
with the course ot nature dear grand-mother-of-boys-and-girls
for until the
world turns the other way on its axis
jand plants grow with their roots in
the air and their blossoms in the
ground we may expect our girl babies
to love dolls!” -fcl

"Summer baseball” is a matter
which is already rousing the interest
of a great many high-school and col-
lege boys to some of whom will come
excellent opportunities to earn' money
during vacation by playing on profes-
sional or semi-professional teams By
the athletic rules now almost univer-
sally in use those who accept
such positions will be debarred
from playing on any college team
The rule was established to keep
college sport free- from- professional
ism and has been regarded as wise
Late however a disposition to ques-
tion its wisdom has been shown by
prominent college presidents and pro-
fessors They point out that what is
wanted Is to prevent college boys from
giving undue prominence to sport To
this end it is desirable to keep profes-
sional ballplayers from entering col-
lege merely to play ball but that is
no reason why a genuine student
under the necessity of earning his
way through college should not be left
as free to do it by playing ball as by
teaching school or selling books The
change of feeling on this matter says
the Youth’s Companion is interesting
as showing a tendency to look at col-
lege sport more sanely than has lately
been the practice
Signs are appearing that certain
good old American traits and habits
still persist Every middle-aged nan
remembers how the struggles and ’Vir-
tues of previous presidents were em-
balmed in books bearing such titles
of “The Tailor Boy Who Became
President” “The Tanner Boy” “Tow-
Path to White House” and others
which laid stress on the humble origin
of the men in question It is delight-
ful to find the same genius at work
in the Interest of 'prosent-day candi-
dates Mr Cannon's campaign man-
agers are putting out “literature”
which tells how in the early day”
“his feet were deep in the soil" Mr
Taft’s friends are telling how he used
to chase news as a reporter for a
Cincinnati paper Senator Knox is
pictured as holding the plow on bis
Valley Forge farm and Judge Gray as
holding the throttle of a locomotiva
The country is still safe
'Statistics of the cost of living in
France show a general increase during
the five years ending with 1907
Bread rose 15 per cent beef 22 veal
14 mutton 25 pork 27 condiments
25 pastry 25 petroleum 10 essence
20 butter 14 cheeBe 25 fresh fish

wood 24 coffee 25 chocolate 2!

Do the Frenchmen also blame it on tl e
trusts?
The Wisconsin man who dropped
$30000 in an attempt to corner lim
burger cheese pleaded that he
"thought there were millions in it”
Probably there are though they may
be too small to be seen with the naked
eye
The University of Chicago has se-
emed the skeleton of a huge sea ser-
pen' which died in Kansas 6 000000

Comment and 8uggeetive Thought
The trial of our Lord consisted of:
1 Tbe Informal trial before Annas
about 1:30 a m
2 Tbe irregular trial before tbe
sanhedrim under Caiaphas before sun-
rise 8 The formal verdict of tbe san-
faedrlm after sunrise (6 a m) -
4 The trial before Pilate 6:30 am
6 Tbs trial before Herod aboiit
7: §0 a in
8 The final surrender by Pilate
about 8:30 a m
Illegalities of the Trial— 1 The real
trial whs held before sunrise which
was Illegal Tbe trial after sunrise
was only a hasty form for outward
compliance with tbe law
2 The use of false witnesses whose
conflicting testimony would have freed
-any prisoner In & fair trial
- 8 ’The attempt to force Jesus to in
criminate himself
4 The repeated trials following re-
peated acquittals any one of wbicb
should have brought the proceedings
against Jesus to an end
6 The jirbitrary transfer of the trial
frofe c&urt to court
6 The change of charge agalndt
Jesus from that of blasphemy most
effective in a Jewish court to that o(
sedition moet effective In a Roman
tribunal
7 The use of popular clamor to af-
fect tbe verdict and compel tbe judge
to pronounce against tbe defendant
Our Lord was crucified at tbe place
called "The Skull” Hebrew Golgotha
Latin Calvary This was "without
the gate" (Heb 13:12) which discred-
its the traditional site tbe Church of
the Holy Sepulcher far within the
walls of the present city It was evi-
dently near a road thronged with trav-
elers (Matt 27:39) Modern scholars
have fixed upon “the skull-shaped knoll
above Jeremiah's grotto outside the
present north wall near the Damascus
gate It answers all the requirements
of the Gospel narratives being outside
the walls nigh to the city
Our Lord voluntarily laid down his
life as he had prophesied (John 10:
18) The loud voice in which he
cried his last words (Luke 23:46)
showing that his bodily energies were
still unexhausted "Crucifixion was
a lingering doom The victims some-
times hung for days ere they died of
hunger exhaustion loss of blood and
the fever of their wounds” — Hastings1
Dictionary of Christ “Some mode-n
writers regard the cry as the utterance
of one dying with ' a ruptured
heart” — Expos Greek Test In favor
of the latter view is the blood and
water that burst from Christ's side
when It was pierced by the soldier's
spear the blood exuding from the
heart into the pericardium had sep-
arated into red clots and a watery
serum Jesus died literally of a broken
I heart Thus none the less but even
the more he voluntarily laid down
his life for us The request of the
Jews that the legs of tbe crucified
should be broken was for the purpose
ot increasing the agony and thus
hastening death since it was against
tbe law (Deut 21:2223) for burial to
take place after nightfall and tbe
coming day was Ihe Sabbath which
was doubly boly aa being tbe first day
ot tbe Passover The Scripture fulfilled
in the omission of breaking Christ’s
bones is Ex 12:46 Zech 12:10
Joseph of Arimathaea gave tbe
body of Jesus burial Arimathaea
was probably the - modern hill-village
of Belt-RIma 13 miles east-
northeast of Lydda He was "a dis-
ciple of Jesus but secretly for fear of
the Jews” "a rich man” (Matthew)
"a good man and a righteous” (Luke)
"who was looking for the kingdom of
God” (Luke) which Jesus had
preached and "a councilor ot honor-
able estate" (Mark) that is a member
of the sanhedrim who bad "not con-
sented” (Luke) to the verdict of the
sanhedrim condemning Jesus He
went "boldly” (Mark) to Pilate and
asked lor the body of Jesus "He is
no longer a secret disciple The cross
transfigures cowards into heroes”—
Cambridge Bible
