CALLED FOR SLIGHT SEVERITY.
Indian Viceroy Departed from His
Policy of Kindness.

Lord Lawrence, one of the famous
viceroys of India, was an able and
very simple man. He used to do his
work in his shirt sleeves. and dis
couraged as much as possible all state
and ceremony. He was inclined to
treat the natives like children, al
though he always strenuously insisted
upon their meriting and receiving Jus.
tice and kindness. Lord Mayo went to
india to succeed him, and on the last
afternoon before Lord Lawrence was
TO leave for home he took the incom-
ing yiceroy for a drive On the way he
impressed his doctrine of kindness
very emphatically and solemnly on his
successor. Lord Mayo thanked him
for his helpful advice, and they re-
turned in due course to the govern
ment house. The syee or footman.
was slow and awkward in opening the
door of the carriage, whereupon Lord
Lawrence jumped out in temper and
gave his ear an unmistakable tug

with smile. My first practical les.

FREAK PLAYS IN ROYAL GAME.

Out of the Ordinary.

On one occasion a player handi-
capped himself to the extent of playing
] all his shots with one leg held up,
and the only crumb Of satisfaction
that some people can get ont Of the
story is that the man missed nearly
every shot and lost his wager. Also,
who has not heard Of men trying TO
play with one eye covered up others
who have had but one club against the
fun set used by their opponents, and
others who have agreed to put with
nothing but their umbrellas? On one
occasion a golfer played a round with
a champagne bottle against a man
who had all his clubs, and it is sad
thing 10 know that it is on record
that the man with the champagne bot
tie won. There are said TO be vari-

OF certain foods, such as onions,
lettuce, milk. etc, are chiefly i'm

well to let this be at least two or
