hTheifirst instrument of destruction adopted
by this DISCRIMINATING goddess was the knife ;
but finding that whenever the warm life-blood
flowed out there new being sprang into ex-
istence to fill the void, Bhowanic ordered the
substitution Of the present mode of strangu-
lation by means of a handkerchief, or cord
with ia moose at one end, and so her faithful
followers have ever since taken the lives of
their victims. The moose is thrown with I'M
erring dexterity over the head of the doomed
man, and while with one hand it is instantly
frightened around the neck by means of sud
den jerk with the other the captive is thrown
violently to the ground, which he scarcely
touches ere the blackened face and blood-shot
Dyes proclaim the struggle at an end ssa
The leader of band Of Thugs captured
few years ago, said, while ON trial, that the
moments Of the most exquisite pleasure he
had ever know were those in which he had
gazed OIL the starting eyes and stiffening limbs
of his victims and the'cup of most exquisite
joy Of which he could conceive. was that of
taking life in order to lay his victims on the
dibdl VI LILO SouQSoo &Sh0ndutV WIeOoc lOhS-
ings, = said he ..scan never cease while sim

The majority of the Thugs are trained to
their murderous vocation from early childhood
and are carefully instructed in its doctrines
and duties by a Gurn, himself a retired Thug,
too old or feeble for active duty. Quite con-
siderable number of adults however, annual
lyenter the lists as candidates for member
ship. When thus received, they are for a long
time carefully watched, being first employed
only as decoys or guardsmen, then as grave
diggers and not until after long trial and
well-attested fidelity are they received into
full fellowship, and intrusted with the signals
and technicalities by means of which the gang
converse freely with each other without the
possibility of bein g understood by the uniniti-
ated.
The " investiture with the handkerchief
is the ceremony that inducts either a new
member OF juvenile novitiate into full fellow
ship and this must be performed in the pres
ence Of the entire company, and by unani-
nous consent. It was formerly customary to
tattoo the name of Bhowanie on the upper
side of the left arm Of her followers by pune
turing the skin, and tracing the characters
with fine needle dipped in the juice Of an
ALBANIA root. As the virus tliffused itself, the
letters became of fiery red, and were utterly
ineffaceable. Bnt This practice has been dis
continued, as affording to their enemies too
clear an evidence of discipleship to Bhowane
The knowledge of the password is now the
fullest proof of membership, and without
this it is impossible to obtain admittance to
any of their secret sessions or solemn convo-
cations.
