Shaving in India,

The happy, by which name the
native BARRIERS of India are known
to Tommy Atkins, visits his COM
pany (each company in regiment
has its own nappy) about 4 a. m.
daily, with his lantern and imple-
ments, by the aid Of which he is en-
abled to commence operations; for
which purpose he carefully ap-
proaches the cot OF his first victim,
and gently rouses the occupant to
a sense OF what is about to take
place; this usually disturbs the
occupants of the next two or three
cots,> and in the incredibly short
space Of about 20 minutes he will
have completed the circuit of that
bungalow, and probably shaved be-
tween 20 and 80 men, not one of
whom has had to move from his bed
during the operation.

dence One Rogers, Waterford
publican, dreamed that he saw a
man murder another in particular
green spot on the summit Of
neighbouring mountain. On the

perfect accuracy, which he did to
many OF his companions, One Of
the men was exceptionally strong;
the other, who committed the crime
was weak and small Rogers pre-
vailed upon the parish priest to
accompany him to the spot, which
was easily found, but which bore no
traces of a death struggle. On the
following day, however, two men
entered the public house whose APP
pearsnce Tailed exactly with those
in tho dream vision. When they
rose to leave Rogers begged the one
whom he expected to be murdered
10 remain, but unvailingly. After
tho man had left he nearly tainted
from fright, and in the end persuad-
ed neighbour to accompany him
to the green spot on the hill, where,
aure enough, tho tragedy of the
dream had been enacted in real life.
The murderer was tracked and cap
tured, and Rogers was the principal
witness against him. His descrip-
ton Of his dream was 80 vivid that
the prisoner Immediately acknowl-
edged his guilt, and stated that he
killed his companion with stabs,
