West end of London as an "undesir
able alien" n couple of years ago, hail
an tipper room, which her servants Ir
reverently called her "vault," hung
with somber black curtains, and In the
center, mounted on trestles, the most
elaborate specimen of the undertaker's
art that could be Imagined.
It was of polished rosewood, finely
worked with silver mountings, very
massive. On the name plate was tleil
cutely engraved "Hertlin Trost." The

termed this collin, and she could ex

kept It near at hand to reconcile her
to the Idea of death !
Stock Steak.
The diner had finished his first

unvanqtilshed steak before him. Twice
In ono minute the new waiter made an
attempt to clear away and received a
sullen dismissal each time.
"Beg panl in, sir," he said at Inst.
"There's a big demand for stenk to
day. We have only three of them In
stock, and, the other two being In use,
we'd he glad If you've finished with

Short and to the Point.
One of the shortest summings-up on
record Is believed to bo thai delivered
by the late Commissioner Kerr nt the
((Id Bailey In a case where a man was
charged with being In the unlawful
possession of a gold watch and chain.
The appearance of the prisoner cer
tainly did not correspond with the le
gitimate possession of such costly or
naments, but he asserted his Innocence
of the charge and declared thnt be had
found the watch nnd chain on the
pavement.
The judge looked nt the man In the
dock and then nt the men In the box.
"Gentlemen of the jury," he said.
"I have walked Aver the pavements of
London during the last forty years,
and I've never found a gold watch and
chain there yet. Consider your ver

Japanese Vegetables.
Very little meat Is produced or con
sumed In Japan, the people depending
mainly on vegetables, such as rice, nsn,
certain bulbs, such as tiger Illy uud
seuweed, which uro very nourishing
ami tlllVerent from anything found
along our seacoast.
Teas and beans are litrgely cultivat
ed In Japan, which resemble our bush
beans, and nro very proline, Including
twenty or more varieties ; radishes, In
all sizes which weigh from half u
pound to a pound.
Cucumbers Include the climbing va
riety, which has been introduced lu
this country; carrots of large size utul
fine flavor, eggplants, turnips and a
pumpkin which in size and tlavor ri
vals our best, excellent as a pie fill
ing or cooked as we cook turnips. The
udo compares finorably with asparagus.

THE SHEPHERD OF CAPTIVE IS
RAEL. LKBHO.N TKXT-Kinklnl 31.'
UDLPKN TKXT-The IjOTd II my shep
herd, 1 iihull nut want. I'M. 23.1.
With the complete subversion rf
the kingdom of Juduh, the national
consciousness wns largely crushed end
the people. were without heart for the
common affairs of life. Kzeklel,
though born In Jerusalem, propheslstl
In Babylon near the lllver Kebar. The
object of his prophesying wus to en
courage the captives by placing before
them God's promise of their return to
their own land. Ills name signifies,
"God will strengthen," which la very
appropriate to the mission which la
the providence of God he wus culled
upon to till. The vision of the Good
Shepherd was very striking uud most
fitting to accomplish this.
I. Israel's Faithless Shepherds De
nounced, (vv. J -10). These false shep
herds Included the kings, princes,'
Judges and priests. Kzeklel points out
thnt the captivity was because of sin, '
but he shows that the greatest guilt
obtains with reference to these lead
ers. They were placed in the position
to care for uud protect the sheep. The
following Indictments ure brought
against them :
1. They fed themselves Instead of
the flock (v. 2). They were essential
ly selfish. They ministered to them
selves Instead of the sheep. Too many
today ore filling public olllces for the
sake of private gain. .Sometimes even
ministers are found who are more con
cerned about themselves, their pleasj
ures and profits, than they are ubout
the souls of the people who support
them.
2. They were cruel (v. 3). They
were not only mere hirelings, guilty of
looking after themselves, but they act
ually behaved like robbers, preying
upon the (locks. All are guilty of this
same sin who use their Influence nnd
power to tho disadvantage of others.
In the theocratic kingdom such behav
ior was peculiarly obnoxious, as the
rulers nnd ministers were representa
tives of Jehovah himself. The minis
ter and public officer today Is acting
In bis capacity for God, not for him
self, therefore, he should make the
cause of heaven his chief concern.
3. They neglected the diseased,
wounded, wayward, and lost (vv. 4-0).
As a result of their selfish cruelty
the sheep were without food ; there
fore exposed to disease; hod no bond
of unity, wero exposed to tho ravages
of wild beasts. God's flocks are In
many places thus suffering and dying
because they have not been fed. God's
Judgments are against such (w. 7-10).
II. The Faithful Shepherd, (vv. 11
,10). The Shepherd here Is none other
than Jesus Christ. The wonderful
blessings here described will' be real
ized by Israel In mlllenlnl times. This
blessed condition will be ushered la
by the second coming of Christ. How
sincerely all should pray, "Thy king
,dom come." When tho true Shepherd
comes :
1. lie will seek his lost sheep (v. 11).
Though they have gone astray through
wilfulness on their part, nnd neglect
on the part of faithless shepherds.
;Jesus will seek them out and save
them. To save the lost was his pe
culiar mission (Luke 10:10).
2. He will rescue tlu'ui from the
power of their enemies (v. 12). God's
sheep have re d enemies nnd they hove
fallen Into the enemies' hands, hut the
Faithful Shepherd Is able to deliver
them. "No one Is able to pluck them
out of his hands" (John 10:28, 20).
3. Ho will bring them back to their
own land (v. 13). I'oor, scattered Is
rael shall ono day (may It be soon 1)
be brought back to their own land.
This Is tho one unmistakable sign by
which we may know the beginning of
the end of this disHnsntion. Be as
sured that It Is not 'wars, nor pes
tilences that mark the sign of tho close
of this age, but the movements of Is
rael. 4. lie will feed them (vv. 14, 15).
"I will feed my flock, nnd I will cnuse
them to Ho down, salth tho Lord God. '
I will seek that which was lost, nnd
bring again that which was driven
nwny, and will bind up that which was
broken, ami will strengthen that which
wns sick; but I will destroy tho fat
and the strong; I will feed them with
Judgment."
This means that regnthered Israel
shall enjoy oil that tho loving kind
ness nnd wisdom of God has enabled
him to' provide, even though they are
awny through their wilfulness and neg
lect. 5. He will seek that which was lost
(v. 10). That which has been driven
away he will seek and bring It back
again.
0. He will heal them from weok
ness and suffering (v. 10). All the
wounds which Israel has received
these many centuries shall be healed.
For tho Shepherd Healer there are
no Incurable Ills, neither any diseases
that badle his skill. The weak nnd
tender shall be cared for by iilra.
While all these blessings arc peculiar
ly for Israel, they likewise can Ive en
Joyed by all thoso who will receive
his grace now and allow hliu to restore
nnd henl them.
III. The Golden Age (vv. 23-27).
The vision of tho world ns It now Is,
Is most disheartening. It Is midnight
darkness. In this blackness we won
der why God does not Interpose. We
wonder how he enn be silent. While
midnight la upon us we arc hopeful,'
for we see the bow of God's promise
of better things flung across tho sky.
This present order shall disappear be
fore the new. In that new order:
1. Jesus Christ. David's Son, shall
be king (vv. 23, 24). This now era of
blessedness can only come Into renll
if.t'on when God's Son shall establish
his kingdom upon the earth.
