I Suspects Tried by Rice

They have peculiar methods of try
fg 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 priest walked
up and down, chanting and scattering
flowers. This ceremony over. one of
the clerks went to each man and gave
him raw rice and told him to chew it
to a pulp, says the London Globe. After
about 10 minutes they were told to
stop and eject 1t into the plantain leaf
All did so easily with the exception of
three men. One of these promptly COM
menced to cry. and begged for mercy,
confessing everything and stating that
another of the three was the chief in
stigator- IT is a curious fact that fear
arising from an evil conscience, pre-
vents saliva coming to the mouth, with
the result described.

a good wash. She was certain the in
Iant was suffering from some terrible
complaint and begged the doctor to do
ms best He prescribed a daily wash
with water in which potatoes had been
peeled. Never suspecting that this was
merely ruse to get the child washed,
the mother followed the instructions
TO the letter, rosy cheeks appeared and
a ciean, healthy looking child glad
dened the mothers heart. She sound

THE WELCOME

Gee, All this fuss sounds good to us.
We join whole hearted in the riot.
For, lacking you, we've maundered
through
year of most depressing quiet.
It's trlfe that now and then row
Has quite upset our balance steady
Yet scarce thrill we get from Bill
We love our Taft. but Oh you Teddy,
Insurgent fights and woman's rights.
Trust busting missions you began on
Much noise and grief about our beef
The turning of the guns on Cannon
These help TO keep some folks from
sleep,
But still the drink is not so headv
AS was the draft with you we ouaffed-
We love our Bill. but Oh you Teddy,
Hip! Hip Hurroar. And then some
more!
The octopi and such may fee Won
But we-oh well, we yell and veil:
Zip! Zip. Huree! We're glad to see
From Sandy Hook to Tillamook
You'll find your welcome rough and
ready:
From . vale e. and peak the whistles
I'VE love our Bill, but oh you Teddy.~
