Gus corporations have increased their

They have peculiar methods of try
ing suspects in Bengal. One of
these is called trial by rice" Every
person suspected was ordered to be
present, and all turned up. First the
people were made to sit in semicircle
and a plate" Ca square of plantain
leaf was set before each. Then a
priest walked UP and down chanting
and scattering flowers. The ceremony
over one of the clerks went to each
man and gave him raw rice and told
him to chew 1t to pulp. After about
ten minutes they were told to stop
and eject it into the plantain leaf.
All did SO easily with the exception of
three men. One of these three prompt.
ly commenced to cry and begged for
mercy. confessing everything and say
ing that another of the three was the
chief instigator. 1t is a curious fact

It is not the mere accumulation of

temperate nights-this is what per.
suades philosophers that the root OF

component parts, small portions of the
wedding cakes of the BRIDES father
