Get the family to adjust their minds to the Jolly informality of it and nobody will mind, especially if that saves mother hours in the hot kitchen. If the child- ren do not understand, let them take a turn at the ironing and they will see tho point. Dispense with tabli clothes, using a hare table, an oilcloth or straw mat- ting doilies. Buy paper napkin* by the hundred. .Simplify the :n-.iK serving fruits and nuts instead of pies or puddings. Wheu you cook for one meal, cook a double amount that some may bo left over for the next.

The truest way to redact the girth is to eat less, but exercise, helps, and It also aids in making one graceful and the body supple. Kor the waist line, besides the exercise of restraint in eating, try the following exercise: Stand erect with feet four inches apart. Stretch the arms above the head and bend tho upper part of the body aa far as possible to the right, then forward, to the left and back- ward, making a circle with the trunk. Repeat from five to twenty times, ac- cording to your strength. Clasp the hands behind the neck and repeat the rotating exercises. Stretch the arms above the head, and, holding the lower part of the body still, bend forward and touch the toes, without bending tho knees.

In this stir gradual- ly a cup an! a half of top milk and stir OVM the fire until the sauce bolls. Add a can of finely chopped plmen- toes, a teaspoon of salt and a dash of pepper.

Amazonia Island Amazes Explorer Faunal Treasures and Reptile Life Prove Fascinating to Traveller In a review of the fauna, modes of travel and the quest for archaeologi- cal treasures In the region of the Ama- zon Hlver, Arthur H. Kisher writes In a recent Issue of the bulletin of the New York Zoological Society that Ma- rajo is perhaps the "wonder islaud of Amazonia." "A few days after my first recon- naissance of this charming little river, I worked my way further upstream and came upon what may possibly bo the largest colony of white herons (Herodlas egrettal In Brazil," be says. "Before I was within half a mile of this colony I could hear the uproar of the gurcas (their local name) at their nests. Their breeding grounds cover- ed an area of several acres, while the number of nesls and birds almost de- fled anything but a rough approxima- tion. So numerous were tho adult blrd< that the tall Irees looked as though they wore In full bloom with hugo whito flowers .and hundreds that had not yet developed their flight feathers awkwardly stalked about on the ground. "Constantly I would hear the dull thud of some unfortunate fledgling that had fallen or been crowded out of II* nest. 1 saw dozens of these youngsters killed in this way during a few hours, yet It seemed as though they could not possibly Im missed in the confusion nnd bedlam of the mob overhead. Several uriibus (black vul- tures I were in constant HI tendance on the, colony, and no sooner was tho sound of such an unfortunate's fall heard than one of these horrid looking birds would be on hand to seize tho victim. They always reminded me of a lot of ghoulish Imps of darkness, perched about in hopes that tragedy would bring them fortune. While un- doubtedly this typo of raptor has its placo In the scheme of the cosmos, I must admit to wantonly burning up many a shell on these hideous flying mortuaries, nor have I ever regretted the cost of the cartridges. Any one who has ever watched from In tho streets of South American cities and about the abattoirs \ think will share my feelings toward them. "The iiiitive method of killing Onca Is both primitive and altonded with considerable skill and bravery. These hunters BO armed with long spears, on tho ends of which are attached double j pointed irons something like a diminu- Hvu pitchfork. When one of those big j cats In brought In buy. usually with the aid of trained mongrel dogs, the hunter or hunters approach within a few yards of the quarry, which usually trees. They then await the charge. As a rule this wait Is of short dura- tion, for once the onca realizes that his retreat Is cut off he hurls himself at the nearest adversary with all the fury and determination of his kind, only to become a dying, snarling mass spitted on a spear. Luck is not always with the hunters, however, and many bad maulings and serious casualties have resulted from encounters with these powerful brutes, far sturdier and heavier than the largest Indian or Af- rican leopards. "On another fazenda on the Island I was shown the method used to cap- ture adult males. On a thickly wood- ed teso a tall, strong bamboo stockade had been constructed. It was about fifteen by twenty feet in size, and with the exception of a removable section in the rear, the only entrance was a small opening just 1 .:-:_ enough to ad- mit a full-grown jaguar in a crouch Ing position. Within this stockade a female jaguar was confined, regularly fed by a man detailed as her keeper. Naturally enough, under such condi- tions she was as savage and morose a feline as I ever expect to see. She was confined lu a large wooden cage, and alongside of this was another empty one of about tha same size. This f.-mali! charmer, through no de- sign of her own, was nightly an un- willing siren, alluring unsuspecting suitors to possible execution, or at best. Imprisonment for life. Once an ambitious swain crossed the threshold of that small, inviting door, the love- light was to vanish from .his qyes and his wheez/y purr of courtship to turn to snarls of fury nnd then despair. No warning would come to him; only the dull thud of a heavy door that had dropped behind him. With the coming of day comes his arch enemy, man, to either snuff out his life or drag him away from freedom forever. In (he very cage that has trapped him, be- fore another moon has come he may ho on his way to menagerie or zoologi- cal park. And so among jaguars, as among men, some are fortunate, while many fail hopelessly, tragically In their struggle with "the way of all flesh.' "On my excursions out from Jllva, I saw many types of the inland's wealth of animal III'*, including giant ant-enters, small arboreal prehensile- tailed ant-eaters and porcupine*, howl- er monkeys uud marmoset*, ocelots, | Coall mnndis, the South American ' cousins of our raccoons, and many ' other Interesting i.iamm:tU and a wealth of reptile life, but was not for- tunate enough to run across an adult anaconda, though Mttrajo Is famed for the number of UuMe giant snakes taken there. Somehow, I feel that the Branddaddy of this reptile la hiding \ somewhere on this Island, and on my next trip I expect to make a strong effort to bring him back to the Bronx. [ "After considerable stay in and , about Jilva, I was unsuccessful In myj seared for archaeological' material, and so headed further inland to a point called Macacao, where I was to spend many most uncomfortable but happy days, for It was here I took from the ground one of the four important col- lections now existing in museums, of the wonderful pottery left by the pre- historic races mentioned earlier In this account. "On my way to Macacao, we crossed a fair-sized lake known as Lago Guara. which received its name from the fact that here is located the greatest nesting colony of scarlet ibis (locally known as Guara) known to exist in the North of Brazil. In the evening I have seen strings of these beautiful birds more than two miles long return- ing to their nests from their feeding frounds on the coast. Any attempt to estimate the number of these birds using this locality seemed to be hope- less. The small trees and growth that lined the shores of the lake seem- ed to be constantly la full bloom, with brilliant scarlet splashes, and the ef- fect of It all under the blue of the tropical sky made a picture never to be forgotten."

INTRODUCTION We havj, in tha story of Josiah, that combination of forces which tho world and the church lave cjtne to know so well: he Man with pure hea.T, !:igh purpose, and 1 gift of leadership, the Book inspirc-J of God, ai.d faith'ul Workmen, both artisans and ministers cf th-e state and of religion, to carry its precepts into effect. To understand the situation in which Josiah found himself in tha first twenty years of his reign ona should read the story of Manasseh'a reign in 2 Kings, chap. 21, and at Josiuh's sons who succeeded him on ihe throne, in 23: 31-24: 20. Or, bet. ter still, one should turn to certain chapters of Jeremiah, whoso ministry as a prophet in Judah began at thi time, and who sets forth with .start- ling clearness its ollies and its vice (see chaps. 2, 5, and 7). I. FIRST STEPS IN WELL-DOING, 2 Kingfl 22: 1-7; 2 Chron. 34: 1-13. Both historian., and prophet speak well of Josiah (2 Kings 22: 1-2; 23: 25; Jeremiah 22: 15-1S). "He did that which was right in the eyes of tha Lord." His character is in striking contrast to that of his father anj grandfather, chap. 21. As a child of eight yeara he camo to the throne at time when there appears to have bees an uprising of "the people of th land," people of the better sort. against the corrupt court party which was responsible fo 1 - the murder of his father. For a time, and until he was old enough to bear the burdens ->t . tate, he must have been under tha care of tutors and guardians, and they did their duty well. His naturally goud disposition waa cultivated and strengthened. The historian of Chron- icles represents him as beginning his work of reform "ir the eighth year of his reign," 2 Chron. 34: 1-7. In the eighteenth year His workmen w.?re busy at the temple putting it into a state of rspait. It had appar- ently been much neglected. It is * pleasure to read of the good relation* which existed between the king. th priests, and the workmen who "dealt faithfully." The money for the nec- essary material and for wage cam from the offerings of the people, and this money was put in the hands of carpenters and masons of whom n reckoning was required because they were known to r honest n:en. II. AN INSPIRED BOOK, 2 Kings 22: *- 20; 2 Chron. 34: 14 '8. Th money which "the keeper* of the do. gathered of the people" came first into the hands c-f Hilkiah the high priest. It was "when they brought out the money" -'im tha treasu / that "Hilkiah, the priest, found the book of the law," 2 Chron. 34: 11. In a safe place, in some hid- den recess of the treasure chamber or in the treasure chest, it had lain un- noticed and forgotten, for one know* not how many years. It was found now at the opportune moment. Coin- ing into the possession .' the king Iio regarded it from hi* first reading of it as the very word of God to him and to his people. He accepted it aa his textbook of reform ar.U in tha years that followed he endeavored t put its laws into force. The book must have contained both ; recepts of the law and penalties for their non- observanct 1 . Josiah's first act upon reading it was ie of penitence. It* Ir.ws had not been kept. He' and hia people, liko their fathers. wer\ guilty before God. He "humbled himself" as only a truly great man c ukl have ilone, and his penitence brought to him from Huldah, the prophetess, as- surnnce of the mercy of God. III. A GREAT REFORM MOVEMENT, t Kings 23: l-ll, 21-25; 2 Om>n. 34: 29-35: 19. i - -i iM . under th : inspiration and guidance of this Hook, did three thins*, each of which mus.t havo had a far- reaching effect on th. life of the na- tion. He assembled tho elders of tha people in Jerusalem, read to them tha words of the book, and entered with them into a solemn covenant and en- gagement to keep what they now ac- cepted as the very laws of God. Noxt ho had all idolatrous vessels taken out of the temple and destroyed, and all the sanctuaries, or high places, throughout the land with theic cor- rupt practices ended, confining wor- ship to tho Jeru .alom temple. AnJ finally he revived, in an impres-siva way, the sacred festival of the 1'ti.is- over. Scarcity Scarcity saves the world, Ami hy that it Is fed; Then R!VO it htuiRerr (Jod. Not bread.
