My wcllheloved , , beloved -- The difference in the words is merely one of rhythm, Isaiah is about to declare to the people of his time that their coun- try is in danger frorn the just judg- ments of Jehoyal . But he conceals his purpose by telling this story that all can understand. Who the beloved friend -was, therefore, would hardly be asked. A very fruitful hill --Literally, "a horn, the son of t'atness," a word for "hill" peculiar to Isaiah. From Jerusalem it was possible to see many a bright promontory given up to vineyard cultivation, 2. Digged . .'gathered . planted -The work of cultivation was as perfect as the situation. The choicest grapes tr, ue found were introduced. In addition, a watch tower for the caretakers added dig- nity and protection to the vineyard.

The case of the Owner of this vine- yard of human beings, the people of Judah, is a strong and unanswer- able one. He justly looked for the fruits of righteous character, but instead was rewarded with only the semblance of grapes, the poison of hyprocrisy. 6. I will tell you what I will do— There is nothing unreasonable, in his decision. The prophet's hearers have already practically consented. to the justice, of such -a judgment.

Tigers Are flow Caught With th Sticky Fly Paper. A new way to catch tigers has been revealed by Payson Stewart, who has just returned to England from India where he learned about it, A certain Indian gentleman of wealth and title has a hobby of taming and domesticating wild animals. His last experience, ac. cording to Mr. Stewart, was with tigers which he had captured and brought to his place at great ex- pense. For a long time they were kept in a compound until they seemed to have become as harmless and tame as house cats. Then they were let loose to be pets of the neighborhood. Immediately their jungle tastes and habits returned, The first night they cleaned out a native village and ate up some- thing like a score of inhabitants. In spite of all the ensuing exe:te- ment, the would-be tiger. tamer in- sisted that the animals must be captured alive and returned to the compound; they were too valuable to be killed and so the hunting party was disbanded. No volunteers came' forward, however, to catch the tigers as you do sheep, or even by putting salt on their tails. Then western in- genuity name to the front. Mr. Stewart suggested fly paper. Hun- dreds of •sheets of it were spread around the lawns. While the anx- ious people in the houses were peering out that night the, tigers prowled up, stepped on the sticky fly paper, •seemed very much dis- concerted when it did not drop off and that the more they rubbed around to wipe it away they more they got on. In a minute or so what might have been an approaching tragedy was turned into a burlesque. The tigers changed from terrors to clowns in their struggles with the fly paper... . They reeled on the ground to rub it off and finally be- came= wiggling, howling bundles of paper instead of ferocious wild animals. They were so stuck up that they couldn't even see and hardly move,. and 'were easily cap- tured. BEQUESTS -TO MANY WOMEN. 'Will o� a Noted Engineer Being g b Contested in England. A strange chapter in the love af- fairs of the late Colonel George Earl Church, the noted engineer, was revealed in the King's Bench Division, London, England, re- Gently, through the suit instituted by Mrs. Annie Margaret • Salmon for a share in the Church estate, The septuagenary plaintiff lost her ease, the jury returning a verdict for the defendants, who were the Colonel's widow. and his executors. Colonel Church died in London on January $, 1910. According to the prosecutor's ease the Colonel met Mrc. Chase and her invalid husband on the Continent, and promised -to marry her when the husband died. When Salmon pas- sed away, however,, Church mar- ried another woman. Subsequent- ly the plaintiff agreed to accept an annuity in compensation for her disappointment. Mrs. Salmon testified that she received the annuity for eleven years, but when Church died his executors refused to recognize the BURGLARY AT A.'1V;(11�(jl;lE.

No writer of eels of Nanaimo herring has gone his time was so highly paid as Dick- ens. It was calculated by one who knew' all about his affairs that he made about £10,000 out of each of the books which he wrote after 1846. The price paid down for "Ed- win Drood" was £7,500. Author and publisher were to share equally in the profit of sales of over 25,000 copies p es and 50,000 were sold of each of the opening numbers. The pay- Iments for the early sheets for A 'i - erica and for the Tauchnitz edition must have brought the e null r1, about £2,000 besides. Dickens is stated to have died leaving "earnings that often ac- crue to a, respectable solicitor." This is rubbish also. Dickens left £93,000 in round figures, and this did not include. a considerable sum of money that he had settled some years before his death. His read- ings (1859-69) had brought in about £36,000. It is forgotten that Dickens be- gan life without one penny and that every farthing he spent or gave away or left was earned by himself, only excepting £2,000 which was bequeathed .to him by a friend about two years before his own death. Dickens lived liberally. (some people said extravagantly) for about thirty-four years, he brought up and started in life a large and very expensive family and he gave away, a great deal of money to needy relatives.
