A Trick of East Indian Thieves.

In some of the thieves schools In
India a regular course of training is
gone through in the art of "pouching,"
or concealing articles Of value In the
throat. The Englishman, newspaper
published in Calcutta, thus describes
the process:
"At first small piece of lead at
tached to a thread is swallowed and
guided by the action of the tongue to
the orifice of the sac in the throat. AS
soon as this has been thoroughly learn
ed the lead is coated with lime. This
eats into the sac and enlarges it. The
size Of the article to be pouched Is
gradually increased until 1t is said that
many of the Indian thieves can pouch
s or 10 rupees at once"
