What is the most famous toy In his

any elaborate mechanical contrivance
or lifelike doll, but to the simple.

mer found some Boer children using
as plaything,
For the farmer sent the stone to

According to a Japanese belief, dolls
sometimes come alive, acquiring a
soul in process Of being played with
by successive generations of children.
Food is provided for them and they
are treated with great care, lest neg
lect should bring trouble upon the
household. One pretty story tells how
a childless husband and wife borrowed
a doll that had gained soul, fed and
clothed it, and deservedly prosrered
thereafter.
All this is in utter contrast with the
unpleasant theory of Varro about
dolls. He held that the dolls given to
little Romans at Christmas-that Is to

1t has often been said that business
in foreign lands has owed much to
Christian missions in opening up new
territory to trade. 1t now develops
that missions will owe something to
big business. 1t has been the custom
for the home offices of the foreign
missionary societies to pay their rep
resentatives in the field by foreign
drafts. The war has made this
method impossible. The treasurers Of
the various missionary boards at a
Joint meeting voted to appeal to some
American mercantile house doing
business in every part of the world.
They decided to ask the Standard Oil
company to become the agent Of the
mission boards for the transmission
Of money to their stations In foreign
fields, and through its treasurer the
arrangement was speedily made. The
readiness of the company in doing this
without compensation is indicative of
the spirit of cooperation for the com
mon good which underlies our great
rporations.-Leslie Weekly.

skirts under these tunics are finished
with square scallopS, rather narrow, so

models are made in Japanese crepe or
