A isESGALE SCIIOOLMASTER.

Rama Rupa was a strict disciplina,ian.
He had by him constantly, besides his
:rutch, tia but longish twis of bamboo,
which often resounded, not only on the
palms of his pupils bands. but on their
heads and backs, and sometimes also with
cruel ingenuity he used to strike their
knuckles, their knee joints and their ankles.
You could hardly pass by the dctr Of the
house during school hours without bearing
the shop-a-shcp shop-a-shop, Of the bamboo
switch. But he had other ways Of admin
istering discipline. One famous mode OF
Juvenile punishment was called nadu-
Gopal-that is. Gopal Che god krishna)
with a sweetmeat in his hand. This con-
sisted in making boy sit OH the ground
with one leg in II kneeling posture; the two
arms were then stretched, and a large
brick was placed on each. In this posture
boy is expected TO ROMAN still for sever
al hours. Should either of the bricks fall
from the hand, down comes the bamboo
switch on the pate OF the delinquent. We
shall mention only one other clause in
Rama Rupa's penal code. Tn, juvenile
offender was handcuffed and his feet were
tied by strings to the trunk of the jack
tree of which we have spoken. While the
boy stood handcutfed and chained the
leaves of singing plant called bicdhuti
(Trayia inrlucrata) were applied to differ
ent parts of his body. Whoever has been
stung by u wasp or hornet can hare
some idea of the sensation produced by
the application of b;cthui to the skin. The
agony is intense. Perfectly helpless, mn
able to run away, unable even to stroke
with his hand the part stung, the 10y
can do nothing but shrek. In justice
to the lame schoolmaster of Kanchanpur,
1 should here remark that the above
disciplinary process was not the pro-
duet of his own fertile brain; it is . time
honored institution, which has been handed
down from generation to generation of
Bengale village schoolmasters.

tbs CosT OF City CuRBISG.- joint
Committee on Streets Generally, of the City
Council, have been looking over the records
siuce 1913 in order to procure some iniorma.
ton as TO the comparative cost of street.
curbng, then and now. 1t tappears that be.
tween the years 1913 and 1862 ths price
ranged from 25 cents, to 81 cents per foot,
the work beng mostly done at % cents per
foot. The price now Is 80 cents per foot.
AT no time up to 1860 did the price go be-
yond 81 cents. and it is understood that from
about the time of Captain Dimmock's ad.
ministration of the Engineer department up
to this period the specifications were much
r.lore exacting, and that the prices went up
accordingly. When the curbing is let out
by contract the specifications have been and
are now so exactiug as to require the best
monument granite to fill the bill. Hence
the increased cost. The Committee on
Streets Generally are now endeavorinS to go
back to the cid style of curbing, and 10
something approximatpg old prices. II
they succeed there will be saving from
,thirty.tive to forty.tiye cents per foot, and
consequently there will be several thousand
dollars more that can be made available from
the annual appropriation for street improve
