always had them tested by a brahmin and only accepted whatthe man approved but the brahmin received bribes from the smiths and never passed a dagger as be ing satisfactory unless its maker had first given hiih a present of money one day- a smith made up his mind that a new dagger he had wade should be proved sharp and good although he would not bribe the brahmin to pass it so he concealed in the scabbard of the dagger a quantity of very fine cayenne pepper and when the brahmin took out the- dagger in the presence of the king to test it the blade unknown to him had pepper sticking to- it the brahmins method of testing was topretend to smell the steel and when he put the dagger close to his nose the pepper caused him to sneeze violently and knocking his nose against the dag- ger he cut it

the small vessels just under the skin to contract and prevent the escape of blood these cold applications need not be continued for more than a few hours or a day at most depending on the extent of
