rats, borrowed large Angora cat and
left it in his shop while he went up
stairs to dinner.
An hour later he heard terrible cries
proceeding from below, and on going
down found the cat bounding up and
down in most peculiar manner.
Thinking the animal mad, he called
in a policeman, who shot it with his
revolver.
A veterinary surgeon who examined
the body stated, however, that the cat
was not mad, but drunk, having con-

At the last general monthly meeting
of the Anthropologica Society of Bonn
bay, paper prepared by Mr.. Sarat
Chudner Mitter of Berar, was read
by Mr.. Jivanji Jamshedji Modi, show
ing how many different roles sword
plays in Hindu manners and customs.
There are certain warlilze tribes
among whom oaths taken over 4 sword
are binding-while, taken otherwise,
they are not. A similar sentiment pre-
walls among some predatory classes of
Europe, where oaths taken over the
weapons of otfence-a dagger, a poin-
ard, q rapier-are considered binding
The idea with these classes seems to
be that perjury committed after taking
oaths over their weapons recoil. that
they die by the weapon against which
they perjure themselves.
In certain parts of India, when
a Hindu is about to marry third
wife - which marrying is considered
an i'll omen - he marries tree
for obviating the i'll omen. be
fore he marries the third lady. In
Kathiawar there is still the custom fol
Rajput Princes, who are much married
to marry in person only the first wife
and TO marry other wives by means
of a sword. They send over theil
sword to the brides people; the bride
is married to it with all the required
pomp and splendor, the only difference
being that the Princes sword becomes
a substitute for him-the bridegroom
The legality of this marriage to 9
sword is indisputable. The bride mar
ried to it enters the Rajput zenana as
a lawfully married wife.-The Lahore
Tribune.
