ReIiuion and EtymoIouy.

Mr.. Crawford declares that the Afri.
can mind is fitted to grasp the princi-
pies of Christianity with remarkable
quickness, strength and accuracy.
Can they appreciate the doctrine of
the Trinity?" / asked. He smiled,
Everything in their thought and OBJ
servation exists in threes. They are
Hegelians, and do not know it. Thesis,
a:tithesis, ynthesis-they find 1t
everywhere. Hegel did not know he
was Trinitarian. The African takes
to the doctrine as to something he has
always known"
'The Atonement?" Their language
and their thought are full of it. They
have many proverbs like this: No
blood, no blossom" Then he made one
of his amazing plunges into etymol-
ogy. you see, even in English, they
are all the same word: Blood, bloom,
blossom
Not only can the African grasp
Christianity, but they express it most
forcefully and beautifully. For in
stance this, from the lips of one of
our young converts recently: God al
lowed sin to unmask itself in the MUIR
der Of his Son."-Christian Herald.

Twelfth Century Football.

In the twelfth century football was
a game for the streets. The chron-
icler of that period tells how after
dinner the city youths addressed
themselves to football" and how the
scholars of each school and the ap-
prentices of particular trades would
each have their peculiar ball. There
were spectators, too, in those days
enthusiastic spectators. Fathers
would come to watch their sons and
become as youthful as the youngest,
their natural heat seeming to be re-
vived at the sight of so much abil-
ity.''
In later years one recalls a famous
ball game played in Hyde Park In
1854, then, there was a hurting of a
great ball by fifty Cornish gentlemen
of one side and fifty on the other;
one party played in red caps. the 9TH
er in white" And-here the histtsri-
cal value of the contest-Cromwel
was spectator and applauded the
great agility of body" displayed.

Cannaught, Pa, in 1924; he was
contractor on one of the canals that
were being constructed at that time.
He gives a sketch of the times and
customs and tells of the various canals
being planned at that time, and con.
cludes by saying: eff all the canals are
built that are now projected. Pitts
burgh will become quite city" Ow-

Smith--to go into the wild land specu-
lation that broke out about that time.
The firm (Smith G Brown of Portland,
Me- had already dipped in pretty
deep by buying wild lands in eastern
Maine. However, they bought few
townships in what afterwards proved
to be the heart of the oil region. They
sent one of their friends, who had just
failed in business, to look after the
property. His wife accompanied him,
and their life was of the most print
tive kind. Half a -four barrel served
as washtub; the broad stump of a
tree was the bench. She wrote home
to her friends that water was plenty
and very nice for washing, but there
was a greasy scum on the top of it in
places" The German women told her
to boil her clothes in such water-it
made them very white. The specula-
ton bubble burst and the firm sold
heir land in few years; scarcely was
1t out of their hands when the value of
the oil was discovered. However, they
had the comfort of not losing by their
transaction. If they had kept it it
would have netted millions. My uncle

Old People Need
A Bowel Sfi171uIafht
The Ideal One Is a Mild Laxative
Tonic That Viii Keep the BotUels
Gently Active.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the bow
els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly. The fact
Is THAT as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
tnat are necessary to prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty of
exercise, but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain, that state of constipation should
always be avoided, as it is dangerous
TO life and health. The best plan is
to take mild laxative as often as is
deemed necessary. But with equal GER
talnty it is suggested that cathartics
purgatives, physics, salts and pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary good
and are SO harsh as to be shock to a
delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands Of elderly people are follow
Ing, is to take a gentle laxative-tonic
like DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
acts as nearly like nature as is possible.
In fact, the tendency of this remedy
is to strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and so train them to act natu-
rally again, when medicines Of all
kinds can usually be dispensed with.
This is the opinion of many people of
different ages, among them Mrs. Mary

Suffrage Leader DEGREES the Too FIRE.
quent Use of the Word
Domestic.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait ridiculed
in Chicago the old anti-suffrage cry
of domesticity-that woman's place Is
the home.
The trouble is" said Mrs. Gait,
that many women cannot be domes-
tic; they have no homes. The word
domestic therefore, should not be
used as is too often the case, in a
loose way.
The suffrage leader smiled.
YES" she continued, some people
give this word as elastic a meaning as
the witness gave it in Georgia court
Asked why he was not present to tes-
tify in a certain case, the man said
he had had domestic trouble just
about that time.
What was the domestic trouble,
pray?' asked the examining attorney.
"'Well, to tell the truth, boss, said
the witness, L was in the penitentiary

after the Scottish fashion in a delight
fully simple way.
They drove over the border into
Scotland, and stopping at a spot
where two men were seated, the young
man said that he and the lady wished
to be married and that they could not
adopt the conventional method, as 1t

were put up.
The couple then formally took each
other for man and wife before the two
