A DUTCH PAWNSHoP.
Sunday Clothes a Favorite Collateral
In Holland

IN F1olldn0s
The Dutch pawnshop of Amsterdam,
known as Bank van Leening, is under
the control of the municipality. Up to
1916 the business was leased by the
city to private company. but as it
refused to reduce its interest on pawn
ed articles the city took over the bust
ness and has managed it ever since.
The first shop was established in the
Enge Lambardsteeg. and business is
still done in the original building. AS
the business increased branch houses
were opened, and there are now fifteen
such branches throughout the city.
Each article pawned costs about
cents for administration, and about
$4,000 per annum is lost on articles
pawned which do not pay more than
per cent interest
1t appears to be the custom of some
clothes on Monday morning, redeem
them on the Saturday night following
and repawn them on the following
Monday. securing their use for the
Sunday outing. Over 40 per cent of
the business of the pawnshop consists
of this class of pledges.
The revenue is derived from interest
on pledges. to 10 cents charged on
each loan for administering expenses,
amounts received from the sale of
pledges and rent of parts Of the build
ing owned by the pawnshop.
The minimum advanced on any arti-
Gle is 16 cents and the maximum $201.
The interest paid runs from per cent
to 13 per cent The amount of inter
est collected is regulated every three
years. so that the bank will not re-
ceive at any time more than per cent
on the capital invested. consular Re

should not honor the Son instead of
the Father, however. for the latter de-
clares, my glory will l not give to

honored, yea, worshiped, because the
Father has highly exalted him and
given him a name above every other
name, that at name of Jesus every
knee should bow and every tongue
confess to the glory of God the
Father philippians ii, SID.
Moreover, there is a special reason
why all who recognize Jesus as the
worlds Redeemer should recognize the
propriety Of including him with the
Father in their thoughts and In their
prayers. This is because. by Divine
appointment, he is the Church's Advo-
cate with the Father-the One through
whom we are acceptable to God. even
the Father. How could we, therefore,
ignore our Advocate. our Attorney, our
Intercessor?
And with the world in the future,
throughout Messiah's reign. this will
be equally pro,'er, because then he will
be the worlds Mediator. standing be-

diatorial Kingdom he shall have lifted
mankind from sin and degradation and

BIRDS OF PARADISE.
Their Dancing Parties and Arrows
With Blunt Aaada

Their Dancing Parties and Arrows
With Blunt Heads.
Birds Of paradise mott about Janu-
airy. and in May. when they are in full
and gorgeous new plumage. the males
assemble each morning for their dane
ing parties. Certain trees are selected,
being chosen on account of widespread
ing branches and scattered leaves,
and In one of these trees from a dozen
to twenty of the birds will assemble.
They raise their wings. stretch out
their necks and elevate their exqui-
site plumes, keeping them In a contin-
ual vibration. The birds hop or fly
from branch to branch apparently in
the greatest excitement. so that the
tree appears to be seething with gold
en- orange plumes The long, plumy
tufts which are the pride of the bird
of paradise spring from the sides be-
meath each wing and when the bird
is in repose they. are partly concealed,
but during the dance" the wings are
raised vertically across the back, the
head is bent and stretched out. and the
long plumes are expanded until they
resemble two magnificent golden fans,
striped with deep red at the base and
fading of into a pale brown tint at
the finely divided points.
1t is hard to determine just what is
the motive of the dance of the birds
Of paradise. but the natives take ad-
vantage of the occasion to secure speci-
mems of the birds without injury to
the feathers. AS soon as it is found
that the birds have fixed upon a par
ticular tree for their dances a native
builds a little hut or blind of palm
branches among the leaves and here
ensconces himself just before daylight
armed with bow and number of
arrows with a round knob upon the
end. instead of sharp point A boy
waits at the foot Of the tree. and when
the birds have assembled and begun
their dance the hunter begins to shoot
The blow of the blunt arrow stuns a
bird, which falls to the ground and
is secured by the waiting boy, not a
drop of Its blood being shed and the
plumage being uninjured. The other
birds rarely take any notice of those
that fall until their number has been
considerably reduced. -Harpers Week
