traordinary case. In the town of

position. Like all Hindoos, he was
keenly anxious to have a enn, but all the
children that his wife bore were horn
dead.
Last year it seemed probable that ehe
might again hope to be II mother, and
the merchant sought advice from IA
religious mendicant in order to- secu re
that the expected child should he born
alive. Tho iogi told the merchant that
IL his wife bathed in human blood her
child would live. This seems to be- u
very ancient belief. and revolving qs il
