EXERCISE FOB FAT PERSONS.
Some Judgment Required as to the

Don't. neglect exercise, but don't

Doctors don't seem to think of this.
but IL is so. Many a bicycle "scorch-
err has actually increased his adipose
tissue. Among these best exercises
for women are skipping. battledore-
and-shuttIecock, and lawn tennis. The
first Is excellent for the tendency TO
abdominal obesity to which they are
SO liable: the second and third are
good generally. because they put in
action all parts of the body Walking
mp and down stairs will also keep
down fat--and so will scrubbing. For
men. baseball. cricket. football and
golf are good exercises Indeed. all
the exercises mentioned are beneficial
to both sexes, when dropped short OF
fatigue. as also is horseriding. Light
dumbcll or Indian club exercise will
do good. and nothing is better as a
than short. brisk walk
before breakfast.

To Harness the Colorado.

Arizona engineers regard the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado as affording
one OF the greatest fields in existence
for the development OF electricity
from water power. In addition to the
immense power of the Colorado itself,
large stores of energy are available in
the summer streams that leap into
the vast chasm. The plan by which
the power of the main stream will. 1t
is now thought, eventually be utilized
is that of picking up" the fall of the
river by means of tunnels. At point
about seventy miles north of VIII
liams it is said that fall Of 5000
feet can be found in distance but
little exceeding a mile.

Punishment for wife seaters.

The merits of the whipping post
for wife beaters are once more under
discussion in New York state. Presi-

dealing with cruel husbands. After
he had collected authenticated rec
ords showing the astonishing preva-
lence of this cowardly practice, he
proposed a bill providing for the re-
vival of the whipping post for wife
beaters only" The measure was de-
feated. the argument being that of
the revival of such punishment would
be return to barbarous methods.

RETURNED WITH a BARE SKIN
How Hunter Kept Promise Made to
His Companions.


Once upon time there was a hun
ter who left his camp quite early in
the morning ana promised his COM
panions that he would return at night
with bear SKIN.
Late in the afternoon a bear found
HIM wandering in the woods and at
once made fierce attack. which was
received with shot that went wide
OF its mark. Then the combatants
closed and the hunter used his knife
There was a fierce conflict and the
bear succeeded in stripping the hun
ter of his clothing. which was scat
tered over the ground in shreds.
The bear. having received many
wounds. gave up the fight and ran to
hide in his den. while the hunter
limped through the woods to his camp
looking very much like Adam walking
in the garden.
Moral-There is more than one way
to fulfil promise.

We were camping at the seaside.
The older ones OF the party were
much interested in the search for
agates, and the children had come to
feel that the finding of agates was the
chief aim of our existence. One Sun
day Roy's mamma was talking with
him about the story of the children OF
Israel. She helped him with the story
till they brought the Chosen People to
the Red Sea. and then. leaving him
to finish, was amazed TO hear hin
say: And so Moses led the Children
of Israel across the Red sea to hunt
agates."-H. A. MacLafferty, in Little
