Having With Pulleys.

There is so little level land in Nor.
way that the making of hay enough
to last during the long winter is Il
very serious problem. Most of the
necessary grass is grown on little
mountain terraces. sometimes 2000 or
5000 feet above the farmhouse. The
considerable difficulty of getting the
hay to the barns would have been al
most insupcrable but for clever con-
trivance which has been in use now for
many years. and which the peasants
call the laupcrstrcng. The grass after
being cut, is rapidly dried on hurdles
and then tied into bundles. These

runs straight to the valley below, and

months ago a stranger arrived ct. the
town and announced that money de-
posted with him would be returned at
the end of one week, with fifty percent
interest. This promise having been
faithfully observed in the case OF sew
eral depositors, there was a general
rush to deposit money with the stran-
ger, the villagers even pawning their
goods and chattels to convert them in
to cash.
AS will readily be imagined the de-
posits increased rapidly, and on the
7th inst. a large crowd assembled IN
front of the welcome visitors dwelling
to receive back their moneys with in
terest. They were told, however, to
return after a week, and obeyed. On
their coming again at the end of the
week they were asked to wait till the
evening; but when evening came and
still there were no signs of payment,
the mob grew impatient, and the SUD-
inspector of Nanddigram TEana. Raj
Charan Chose, with twenty-seven po-
licemen appeared on the scene and Or
Cered them to disperse. The men asked
him to help them to recover their
money, but as he apparently did moth
ing, but persisted in the endeavor to
disperse them, they assaulted him, and,
when he sought refuge in hut, locked
him in and set fire to the place, so that
he was burned alive.
Such is the story which, it is stated,
is now being inquired into by the dis
trict superintendent of police, who has
made several arrests. According to
one report the police visit was foo The
purpose Of stopping gambling, and
their interference was resented in the
way described. The villagers, however.
declare that they have been done cut
