WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The United

Gray, announced the new bankruptcy
rules which it was authorized to frame
n promulgate under the national
bankruptcy act of July 1, 1893. The

Justice Gray announced that the new

heretofore taken substantially in con-
formity with the act and to the regula-
tons OF 1867 as far as practicable, would
be upheld. The rules, while promul-
gated at this time, he said, would not
be ready for distribution for some time.

In some things the natives of Bengal
aud Behar are wonderfully courageous,
and the bravest deed that ever wit
messed says Il writer in Gentleman's
Magazine, was performed in the coolest
manner possible by two of my own do.
nestle servants. One morning, while
seated in the veranda of my bungalow,
mad jackal rushed through the.
grounds and went under n raised 90
down, which WAS close to the bunga-
low. left the veranda for my gun,
and on my return | discovered two of
my servants armed with hog spears
creeping under the godown until they
came within striking distance of the
jacl<al, when they quickly transfxed
him with their spears. The offer of
bank check on the Bank of England
would not have induced me to act In
the way that these brave fellows did.

house for the purpose of destroying the
oobras that came after the eggs; and
one morning before dawn l stepped
into the veranda of my bungalow in
time to see him pulling KARAT out of
a hole with one hand, which grasped
the reptiles tail, while in the other
hand was held stick, which promptly
descended on the karit's head as soon
as it appeared in view. 1t was all done
very neatly and smartly, and as quietly
