a gradual feeling of increased pep and

securing normal weight without injury
to health or appearance, serious
changes in the daily menu should not
occur. Do not follow fads. A well bal-
anced diet may not always bring

IL, DWELLING IN THE HOUSE OP GOD,
Luke 2: 36-39.
INTRODUCTION -In every age the un-
ion .of intelligent piety and right liv-
ing has produced the highest type of
character. Nothing better :an be said
of any man than that he is "right-
eous and devout." The Greeks under-
stood this as well as the Jews and ,,et
is Plato who says "Man should strive.
f.._ God -likeness through virtue, and
be holy, righteous and wise like God."
Thus a modern Jewish writer of high
standing describes the :deal of holi-
ness: "It aims to hallow every pursuit
and endeavor, all social relations and volving sore trouble to those nearest

Lord's anointed one" the writer means
the long expected king and deliverer
Who it was hoped would restore the
throne and kingdom of David and
would bring in the golden .•.ge of jus-
tice and of univer, al peace. For the
expression "the consolation of Israel,"
compare Isa. 40: 1; 57: 18; 61: 1.
By some rare insight give to this
good man, no doub ey the Spirit of
God, he recognized ' in the child
breught by his parents into the temple
the child of his vision, the coming king
and saviour of his people, who would,
according to prophecy, bear light and
salvation to the whop world. "A light
t • lighten the Gentiles, And the glory
of thy people Israel," Isa. 42: 6;.
49: 6.
IL DWELLING IN THE HOUSE OF GOD,
Luke 2: 36-39.
Anna represents another bt•t closely
related type of piety. At a great age
she still finds her one comfort and joy
in•the worship of the sanctuary. Its
great traditions, its sacred memories
its sacrificial symbols, its solemn mu-
sic, all speak to her of God, the Lord
of hosts, Israel's King, unfailing
source of all that is good and great
in. life. Simeon foresees great changes
which will take place with the growth
of this child to manhood, changes in -
activities, insisting only on a pure to him, -which will reveal the secrets
of men's hearts. Anna is content to
praise God for the coming of the new
age of salvatioi which she, too, be-
lieves is at hand.
Unique Fair Is

lectors come from all parts.of the

worth amazing sums. There are men,
too, offering and disposing of beetles,
flies, grasshoppers, crickets, and so on.
Most of the vendors bring their
stock with them and display the beau-
ties of their 'specimens to inquirers.
There- are many, however, who do
business in quite a different way.
They have no stock with them;
they sell insects, so to speak, on the
hoof, just as American cattlemen will
sell beasts that are a thouand miles
away on the ranges. These sellers of
queer insects specialize in knowing
just Where the rarest kinds are to be

L INSTRUCTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT,
Luke 2: 25-35.
The best men among the Jews be-
fore the coining of Christ had learned
to believe that God, though invisible,
was everywhere present, and especial-
ly in and with the men whom he had
chosen to render important service
to their fellows. And so they regard-

and in brass, and in cutting f stones
for setting, and in carving of wood, to

very special sense :hey ,held it to be
true that the gifts of prophet and
seer were gifts bestowed by the spirit
of God. See, for example, what is
said of Samuel (1 Sam, 3: 19-4: 1), of
Elisha (2 Kings 6:17), of Isaiah (6:
8, 9), of Jeremiah (1: 4-10). In look-
ing into the future the prophet sees a
perfect and glorious king of David's

spirit of God with the qualities neces-

Chinese Eel Has
Elephant's Trunk
The Field Museum of Natural His-
tory in Chicago has received a fish
with a "trunk" resembling in a gen-
eral way that of an elephant. The fish
is a spiny -backed eel, commonly
known as the mud eel, and it is scien-
tifically designated as Mastacembelus.
It came with the collections made in
the Ogan River in Sumatra by the
Chancellor -Stuart -Field Museum Ex-
pedition in the South Pacifis.
The fish, is used as food in China,
according to Alfred C. Wood, assist-
ant curator in charge of fish at the
museum. In the growing of rice in
that country, it is necessary to keep
the Iand flooded most of the season,
and when harvest time comes the
water is drawn off and the ground be-
comes more or less dry.
At this time the Chinese farmers
harvest s crop of fish, which have
come to live in the warm shallow water
•of the fields, swimming about with the
swaying rice. The fanners catch large
numbers of these mud eels, which are
different from ordinary eels in that
they are flattened from a'de to side in-
stead of being rounded.
"These mud eels are interesting to
scientists because they possess char-
acteristics that are generally supposed
to belong to very different gr nips of
fishes," says Mr. Wood. "Down the
back they are armed with a row of
very sharp spines. At the front of the
head they bear the 'trunk,' much like
that of an elephant and nearly as large
in proportion.
"Like the elephant, this fish has its
nostrils in its trunk. The trunk is
used as a feeler to test out anything
in its path, and may be used to catch
small creatures upon which it feeds.
It is waved around in the same way as
an elephant's trunk. Various species
of these eels are found in muddy
waters of tropical streams and lakes
from 'Western Africa to Eastern Asia."
Prehistoric Man
Liked 'Ern Thin
That not every race of prehistoric
men admired exclusively the type of
fat woman represented by statuettes
like the famous "fat Venus" of Will-
endorf is indicated by recent finds by
scientists of Soviet Russia near Ir-
kutsk in southern Siberia. In a pre-
historic deposit also containing bones
of the extinct mammoth the diggers
found three small statues of the fem-
inine figure each approximately three
feet tall and reported as carved with
a high degree of skill.
All three represent tall, slender wo-
men, resembling the fashionable figure
of to -day. Their hair is depicted as
short, not unlike the present mode. In
only one way do these ancient repre-
sentations of feminino beauty depart
notably from modern standards. Their
feet, it is reported, are large and mus-
cular; a fact which sorne of the ex-
perts are inclined to interpret as in-
dicating a race accustomed to much
running after food oe to escape from
enemies, so that even the women de-
veloped the large feet, long limbs and
slender bodies, which usually go with
fleetness of foot. The contrast with
the "Venus" statuette previously found
at Willendorf, in Austria, is remark-
able, that figure being marked by enor-
mous fatness of the torso and hips.
The reasons which induced prehis-
toric men to carve these feminine
statuettes are unknown, but if the ob-
ject was to depict ideal beauty, the
ideals of the ancient Willendorfians
and the ancient inhabitants of Irkutsk
must have been very different,
Pat was sitting in the smoking car-
riage'puffing at an old clay pipe, when

"You're no gentleman," says she, "or

Pat, puffing away at his pipe. "11

"I'd give you poison." Pat ooked at
her for a minute. "Bedad," said he,
"lf I was your husband I'd take it."
