REVEALED THE TRUTH.

In his capacity as judge Lord Bramp-

vestigated I'm it's minutest details I'm
on small points the great issue OF a
case depends. AS exemplifying this
Lord Brampton cites a curious case
that came before him on the western
circuit:
"A solicitor was charged with forg-
Ing the will OF a lady. which devised
10 him considerable amount OF her
property, but as the case proceeded II
became clear 10 me that the will was
hgned after the lady's death and then
with a dry pen held i'm the S7nd Of the
deceased by the accused n. If while
he guided II over n signature which he
had craftily forged. A woman was
present when this was done. ana as
she had attested the execution Of the
VIII she was necessary witness for
the prisoner. and in examination in
chief she was very clear indeed that il
was by the hand of the deceased that
the VIII was signed and that she her
self had seen the deceased sign IL.
Suspicion only existed as to what the
real facts were until this woman went
into the box. and then scene highly
dramatic occurred in her cross exami-
nation. After getting an admission
that the will was signed in the bed.
with the prisoner near by. the woman
was asked:
Did he put the pen into her hand?'

AT this last question the woman
turned terribly pale, was seen to fall

RICE TABLE.
The Principal Dish Mt the Midday
Meal In Java.

The Principal Dish ut the Midday
Meal In Java.
In Java. as in most really warm coun-
tries, il is customary TO rise early and
10 take cup OF tea or coffee. together
with a biscuit and some fruit. imme-
diately on leaving ones bed. This is
followed 10y n moro substantial break
fast, but the first really serious meal is
served at half past II O'Clock and is
the equivalent OF the French "dejeuner
a In fourchette" or the Anglo-Indian
tifin- This meal is called rice table
'rystafer'-from the principal dish. a
very elaborate curry, in the preparation
OF which the Malay cooks are especial
~ skillful.
The popularity Of the rice table CON
sists. in the number and variety OF
dishes presented. From these dishes
the guest has 20 select the materials
which, together with the rice upon the
soup plate before him, are TO consti-
tute his curry. 1t Is also as we'll TO
know beforehand that one is not re-
quired 10 lunch solely on curry. but
that the rice table is succeeded by
~NGA'N' va NANAAANA NlSAlCS-
IL is a case therefore, Of 'embarras de
richesses."
The second danger is that Of making
up ones curry not wisely. but too
well" and leaving neither appetite
nor capacity for the beefsteak or for
any Of the other solid dishes which
subsequently appear and which under
these circumstances only produce a
feeling of mingled horror and conster-
nation. 1t is then that one suddenly
realizes that the rice table is merely
sort of tremendous "hors d'Oeuvre."
There are two dangers to be avoided
In the first place, it is quite possible,
In spite of the number OF the dishes
presented singly, 10 say nothing OF an
octagonal tray containing separate
chutney in each Of its nine compart-
ments. to get no lunch at all. for moth
Ing Is easier than after saying ''nein"

to dismiss the one solid and paiatable
