SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS

Last Saturday clooed with the news o
the conviction OF Dreytus at RenpeR o
treason, by court that was bound tt
Eind such a verdict regardless OF the
facts, The verdict has been received by
the world with indignation, aud never
before in her history was France more
generally condemned for anything than
Tor this verdict. The whole French na-
tion has had to stand the opprobrh'm
OF it. The world is indignant simply be.
cause Il ey know Dreytus is innocent and
that he was convicted machine-like Tor
hireling purposes, and not as matter
OF Justice. France has had plenty Of
time since the verdict TO- realize some
thing OF the size OF the world and the
force o! its pulse beat. More aud more
there isVrowins fellow feeling Tor the
oppressed regardless Of locality. The
telegraph wires have brought ne very
close together, aud wrong IN France
may be kdown In Oregon before II hap
pened CO far as time 10 stated. The
Drsyius verdict was rendered at $40 p.
M, and was published In the DENocRAr
at S 80 p. m, nearly two hours before,
and the readers Of the DENooRAr knew
Of 1t before the people Of Rsnnes from
the standpoint OF the hour oil the day.
So it happens that one en- d OF the world
is in touch with the other aud any act
Of mercenary character in one place
sends a throb everywhere, France will
do well to clean herself iuss as fast as
possible il che would have any standing
with the rest OF the world.

Dr.. Sayce's New Translation show
Ing Parallels With the story
- In the Bible.

Whence came the story Of the creation
as related in the Bible? Rev. A. H.
Sayce, the well known professor of as
syriology in the University Of Oxford,
England, has a most suggestive answer
to this question IN his latest volume, just
from the press OF Service & Patton, Lon
don. In this workson Israel and the Sur
rounding nations Prof. Sayce shows how
great has been the light cast upon the
Bible by modern discoveries, substantial
: tngealach7 OF sBibHcal history, explaining
much that was incomprehensible before
He has included administration Of the great
creation epic Of the Babylonians, the date
Of which runs back to centuries before the
writing Of the Biblical account He has
also added a fragment of a. still older Su-
merriam account Of the creation, both OF
which bear som striking resemblancess to
the first chapter of Genesis *5s
Lack of space forbids the printing of all
the verses, but enough can be quoted to
illustrate both the style of the ancient
story and its bearing upon the Bible The
poem opens with an account Of the time
before the creation:

WOOD OF THE TRUE CROSS.
Myths and Legends Apperta1ninG
Z 80 the Sacred Tree - TT I

Myths and Legends Apperta1nin8 to
4 the Sacred Tree
Household Words: The prevalence Of
relics purporting to be the wood of the
true cross has long afforded matter for
cheap jesting. Such imp0sitiOns are not
likely to deceive any burt the most ignor-
ant or the most credulons. The fact is.
that while the supply Of genuine relics
is likely to be coexistent with the demand,
we do not really know of what wood
the cross consisted. There Is an endless
store of myth and fable, dating from the
earliest Christian ages. Symbolism has
attempted to prove that the wood used
was Of symbolic quality; and for one rea-
son or another, many different species of
tree have been elected to the position of
honor. One ancient legend, referred to in
the ,apocryphal book of Nicodemus says
that the wood was taken from a tree
which grew from the. grave OF Adam
It is said that the father Of mankind
being one day sick, sent his son Seth
to the gates of the Garden Of Eden to
pray it's guardian angel for q few drops
Of oil Of mercury, distilled from the tree
F0f life. This was denied by the angel
but a twig of the tree was, granted and
this when planted on the grave OF ADAM
grew into tree from which the cross
many variations Of this story. Some say
that David transplanted the tree to the
side Of a fountain in one of his gardens,
and under it's branches he composed those
magnificent outbursts of inspired devotion
which are familiar to us as the Psalms.
All this is sufficiently poetcal. however
