The lyceum last Moneay night
was one OF the best Of the season.
AS rule an audience does not en-
JOY lecture but DR.. E. T. Hager-
man, of the Redpath Bureau, more
than pleased his listeners. The
average man needs to do some
thinking according to DIR. Hager-
man, and give less time to fun
making. Both are good but the
man who does not think is falling
short of his calling in life.
The plays given by the schoo
pupils Saturday night were enjoyed
by all present. This entertainment,
was one of the best we have had
this season. Several visitors were
here and many compliments were

BIG DEALS IN SCOTCH LANDS
Many Millions of Acres Have Changed

acres of Scottish land has changed

country, reports the London Times
correspondent at Glasgow.
During 1921 over 100000 acres were
sold, against 100000 In 1920. Although
prices have fallen, fully f5,000,00O
($25, 00E000) must have been involved
in last years sales, and the total
turnover since the armistice Is esti-
mated at f5250O,O00 ($262, 5O0,O00).
The decrease In estate sales last
year shows that the "boom" Is on the
wane, for the people who made war
fortunes and who were the estate
agents best clients now find their
wealth diminishing as quickly as 1t
grew. Trade depression has, OF
course, left Its mark on the estate
market, with the result that prices for
estates are nothing like what they
were few years ago
Estate agents, however, hold out a
hopeful prospect for this year. 1t Is

buying will continue for several
months probably until the next budget

world would give a flip to the estate

TAKE TIGERS WITH BIRDLIME
Mslayans Trap Animals With Very
Little Risk to Those Engaged
In the Task.

Tigers are easy to capture II you
have plenty Of birdllme. The natives
of the Malay peninsula, says Mr..
Charles Mayer in Trapping Wild AMI
mails" use the snare very effectively.
The hunter spreads out the blrdllme
on the ground that tigers frequent
and carefully covers 1t with leaves. AS
soon rs II tiger puts his foot into the
stuff he becomes enraged. He tries
10 bite the stun from his feet and, In
doing so, gets II on his face. When he
tries to rub It off he plasters 1t over
his eyes. Finally when he Is thorough
IS covered with 1t he Is 50 helpless
that he can be put into cage without
much danger. After that he spends
weeks In working patiently to remove
the gum from his fur.
The AIalays have also a clever way
Of capturing monkeys. The trap con
sists Of a sweetened rag In a bottle.
That IL covered with green rattan and
tied to a tree. The monkey puts his
hand through the neck and grabs the
rag. but he cannot pull his hand out
while II Is doubled up, and he does
not have enough sense to let go Of the
rag. There he sticks and fights with
the bottle until the hunter comes along
and pressing the nerve in his elbow,
forces him to open his hand and leave
the rag for the next monkey.
